In the past years there have been major changes to society, mainly affected by the fast advancements in technology. Music, once in itself a large part of a person’s identity has become a small contributor in our lives. Many people will argue that with all the new technology (iPods, stereo systems, recording equipment etc.) the influence of artists is now larger than ever. Although, over the years we have seen the cultural side of music come crumbling down. Songs being blared out on the radio and mp3 players lack the passion, and soul that music once held. Meaningless lyrics and electronically made rhythms have made it simple for untalented performers to become famous. There fame not based on their talent, but on the crazy stunts they take part in.
The artists of this generation can hardly be called such. Miley Cyrus, Justin Beiber, The Jonas Brothers, come nowhere close to the powerful and innovating influences that bands such as Rolling Stones, U2, The Beetles, and Bruce Springsteen had over the world. With the dwindling progression of talent, the music world has greatly changed. People listening no longer have feelings evoked and have lost the passion for music.
This change that we are witnessing now is newly shaping our culture. One that people do not no longer feel for music, but only see it as an entertainment factor. The meaning and passion is disappearing right before our eyes, as the world advances on.
The closure of music stores is a disappointment to here, and represents the end of an era, where people once lived for music and felt the passion in all of its glory. People now sit at home and download illegal music, in which they receive nothing from.
