2000s Music

Music as a whole blends together. One style leads to another, the music becomes more progressive. It evolves to fit the new generation, leaving the old generation behind. From the spritual songs of the late 1800s to the gospel of the early 1900s. Then it changed into rhythm and blues, and when the 1950s rolled around it became Rock’ n’ Roll. With the invention of new iconic instruments like the Fender Precision Bass and then the Fender Stratocaster, the sound of the music changed. The sound that was soft and low was now crunchy and loud. While it did not sit well with the adults, it was a hit among the new generation. Even the African American roots of the music didn’t deter the youth listening

In addition to cost, another factor that computers introduced was a faster pace of life. Faster forms of media birthed the creation of T. V. networks such as MTV and VH1 to carry popular music at an incredible rate to viewers. A majority of pop music artists in the last decade have one thing in common: their fame rose and declined faster than high school relationships. Faster life means a demand to have better quality music, with low cost, with people who were not focusing on music as an art, but as a way to get thousands of teen females screaming their name. Musicians have to export larger quantities of music which is current and within the boundaries of trends.

It’s hard to talk about music today without bringing up music from the eighties. Some of the artists today got their ideas and musical talent from watching their idols from that decade. For example, Usher credits his dancing and musical talent from Michael

Everyone knows a guy by the name of Tupac Shakur, but how do people know Mr. Shakur? Maybe it is by the hardcore gangster and obscene rap lyrics directed towards people, more so aimed towards his east coast rivals. As years went on, more and more people viewed a handful of Tupac’s music as a true work of art, containing strong messages along with stories from his troubled childhood and young adulthood. Later on in both Tupac’s life and career, he began to realize the demise of the African American culture as a whole. During his last stint in prison, not only did he realized all of this wrongdoing throughout this life, but also the negative influence rap and hip hop had over the young African American community. What happened during his incarnation,

Although the two decades were different in themselves, there is still a parallel running between the two. Both were times of change, with popular culture culminated for the newly recognised youth, each decade had their own brand of pop music, and their own brand of teenagers.

Today, sources of mainstream music such as radio, television and film soundtracks tend to reflect an increasingly superficial, formulaic and predictable mode of music production and distribution. The result is an increasingly homogenous mainstream market that tends to stifle creativity, experimentation and artistic vision in favor of proven commodity. This helps to account for the dominance of mechanized dance tracks aimed at younger listeners and the permeation of Middle of the Road (MOR) content aimed at Baby Boomer consumers. Especially in the face of a declining overall music buying market, the industry has become especially unwilling to take risks on artist's whose style is unfamiliar or

Miles White, who is a former staff writer for USA Today and author of a critical social-historical study of hip hop culture. “In 2007, I attended a concert by 50 Cent in the Czech Republic capital of Prague that had been heavily advertised for several weeks with a darkened, grimacing image of the Queens, New York, rapper on large posters throughout the city. I was admittedly more curious to see who buys enough tickets to a

On the radio today, you would find Hip Hop, Rock, Pop, and Rap. A lot of the music today is engineered electronically, and includes many more layers and effects. This is also a contrast to the 1890s, where the music was mostly

From bell bottoms to Barbies, every generation has its own distinct trends. While various fads have cropped up in each era, music has always been a key element of culture. Starting in the 1950’s, music became integrated within the American culture as the favored form of expression. The popular types of music found on the Top 100 lists today however, have changed dramatically since then. What has promoted this obvious change in music choice? While rock ‘n’ roll still holds its own in the music billboards of 2010, the general public now prefers the mechanical sounds of hip hop and

Music it’s always changing and evolving and it has also been around forever during the last 150 years we have seen many changes. Thinking about in the past before the only way to listen to music was only trough event or concert so it was quite difficult to experience to listen to music at home until recording disc and vinyl got created Back in the past we used to have Cassette Tapes which were use a lots in car. After that we had Cd’s album which you can still get in the shop but they are not that common like they used be before and then form there we converted to Mp3’s which is a different way to get music and that’s is from the internet. Followed by that they created music streaming services which made a big impact on how to listen

The 1980s was a decade of revolutionary changes on the music scene. The two major developments were the advent of MTV and the compact disc. Music became more diverse, with new wave, heavy metal, rap, techno pop, alternative rock and the "new" country sounds. And music became a huge marketing tool as filmmakers, TV producers and manufacturers of everything from sneakers to soft drinks used hit songs and hot performers to sell their products.

The issue with criticism towards Auto-Tune is that it is also directed towards legendary pop stars like Kanye West, T-Pain, Future, Desiigner, etc. who are actually talented musicians. Just because a talented artist uses Auto-Tune doesn’t mean that they are talented. There is an easy way and a hard way for people to make it to the top of the music industry, but in order for that to work for a prolonging time, the artists have to be

While many people may criticize and ridicule the use of Auto-Tune and talk about how it is “ruining” the music industry by leading people to believe that recording artists are pitch-perfect, there is one thing that nobody can deny; it sells records. And there is nothing that musicians and artists want to do more than sell records. Auto-Tune was originally intended to help oil companies find out where oil reserves are save companies lots of money by not having to dig up the group looking for oil when they could find out just where the oil was. Over the course of time, that program evolved into one of the most prominent and recurring effects in the music industry.

The 2000s started a change in music very different as the ones in past decades, since this was the year technology commenced rise importance in human life. Hence, the usage of auto-tune, pitch corrections and multimedia programmes started to be used in multiple songs of this decade, also YouTube will appear in the upcoming years as a way to share music videos, therefore, varied hits of this decade, like Hey Ya! From OutKast or Crazy in love by Beyonce have some of the new technological features and give videos a big importance. Under those circumstances, the differences between those 3 decades are that in the 1980s, music criticized people living situations, in the 1990s, music criticized mentality and the living generation and in the 2000s, music talked about the changes society was living. To sum up, music will keep changing throughout the years. In some years, some of the themes music can talked about are the continuous technological advances or how humans are ending themselves. Nevertheless, given the situations we’re living today, music could talk about the imminent wars that could

Music has played a vital role in human culture and evidence based on archaeological sites can date it back to prehistoric times. It can be traced through almost all civilizations in one form or another. As time has progressed so has the music and the influences it has on people. Music is an important part of popular culture throughout the world, but it is especially popular in the United States. The music industry here is, and has been, a multi-million dollar business that continues to play an important role in American popular culture. This is also a art form and business that is forever changing as the times and more importantly, technology changes. Technology has changed the way music is made as well as how it is produced,
