Changes of Music

Throughout our lives, music has been a very important subject for people. During the 60s, hip pop, r&b, and any type of music in that genre, was barely known. The most popular music that was listened back then was rock and roll, rythem and blues, and country music. Whenever a new person comes out with a new type of music, their styles also do change. Which will inspire people to wear the same types of cloths that he or she is wearing. For example, The Beatles really inspired people to wear suits and to have Mop top hair. The Beatles also changed the type of music also. They brung in a softer type of pop and pop-rock to the media.

For some people out there, Music is a way that will bring them friend or a place to belong with a group of people. For example, people might have to change to type of music they like if they move to another school, state, or just another place. If someone that lived in a place that loved country music and moves to another place that likes to listen to Hip pop. He would have to change the type of music that he likes. Also if he walks around and all he can hear is hip pop, that type of music would grow on him and probably someday he would like hip pop more then country. In my opinion, listening to a different type of music doesn't really gives you more friends, but it can change on how you act and look.


Back in the 60s, people were very into racisism. For example, black people only listen to black music and white people only listen to white music. Teenagers use to have to do what their parents say, but to belong they decided not to listen anymore. They decided to listen to the kind of music that they like and started to become more independant. In doing all these action, teenagers started to get more social with one another. To belong, they decided to go against their parents and started to do their own things. Some very popular artists back then was The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Martha Reeves & the Vandellas, Diana Ross & The Supremes, and many more. People done many things to belong and music is one thing that they do.

  1. I do agree that the type of musiccan change how people act or dress. My brother is an example of that. He listens to a lot of rap and always wears baggy pants and have them "sagging" lower than most people and tries to "act black" sometimes. I even have that with what I wear. I listen to a lot of rock and metal and tend to wear darker colored clothes like black, gray, and red. But i dont agree fully with they "people will change their music" because of where they live. I have lived here for most of my life and the music that I listen to has a small audience areound here. Most of the radio stations around here are pop/rap and country, and i cant stand either of them. it doesnt matter how much of it i hear, i never like it any more.
