Taking music for granted

Many people take music for granted, but the music industry has come really far compared to where it started off at. In the past, only certain kinds of people were allowed to sing and perform certain kinds of music. For example whites usually sang rock and roll, while African Americans played jazz.

          Today it is much different. Anybody who wants to be a singer or performer can, as long as they have the talent and motivation to do so, and they can be in whatever genre of music they want to be in. Music changes with society. People sing about what people would expect them to sing about, but it is never the same.

          If it wasn’t for people in the past who tried so hard to make music bigger, then there is a possibility that music wouldn’t even be around today, at least not the kind that most typical high school students listen to.

          Many people out there think that music is there for anyone and it always has and always will be, but if you take a closer look into things, that isn’t quite just the case. As more and more people try to become performers and the “new top hit artist” there are more songs being created constantly. As this happens more and more there are less opportunities for new songs. There are only so many things you can sing about without using someone else’s words, rhythm, or style.

          So if you think about it, yes, the music industry is huge right now. But that can lead to a problem in the future, song writers will start using others people’s ideas or songs and leave it with a big controversy.
