What is the difference between music now and back then

Whoa make the ground move, that's an ass quake. Built a house up on that ass, that's an ass state. Roll my weed on it, that's an ass tray.

Although the music industry is headed for the worst, I'm grateful to live in this era where there's so much music to discover. I'm grateful for the iPod I can carry all my music on.

I'm grateful for the radio in my car. I just wish I could turn on the radio and hear bona fide, down to earth, wholesome music. The views expressed in this post are the author's own.

For those who were born into the early to mid 90's, our parents raised us to listen to what they knew as music but we can also listen to the difference based on what our grandparents listen to.

Music is continuously evolving in a giant circle. Soon it will go back to our era of music. MusicLover said And WHAT, prey tell, is wrong with synthesizers?! I'm just messing with ya. Yeah I agree with you. Frank Sinatra who sang in the 40s and 50s mostly when his career was at its best was a very very talented singer, being able to hold notes very long and transition high and low flawlessly with that baritone voice.

I went insane listening to chains and whip nae nae last year when my pickup teacher guy turned on the same old mainstream radio station everyday. God I hated those songs. Another difference: all the good bands wrote their stuff. All the mainstream bands now have writes who write what sells good. Point being: Then you and I, skyvex1, do not listen to the music that most kids do. We listen to the good stuff. Besides, am I the only one who notices how depressing and redundant the lyrics of today's music is?

This is why it is so hard to make money in the music industry now. Barely anyone can make a living from it. I can recommend a radio station for old classic rock music. It's Q Not sure how far the station reaches but I highly recommend it.

This is more of a rant, but straight out point. Do you truly understand WHY music is bad though. Jesus Christ. Well aren't you a special snowflake. People, there are still many kids and young adults out there that still listen to old music.

Please stop thinking you're so special because you listen to old music. But that doesn't give you the right to brag or point out yourself. By the way, what is up with your grammer?

Not all songs are BPM. I think you're referencing to rap and metal. No, the music industry forces people to make bad music in a way. Spotify, YouTube, Pandora, you name it.

No one really buys music anymore. When was the last time you bought a physical copy of a song. So artists need to pump out songs as quickly as possible, thus having no time to actually put real effort and soul into the music. I cahnged the category and removed some of the question marks on the title, hope you don't mind : - 00b6f46c, MAY 26, Don't worry ; thanks - katita, MAY 26, If you know major and minor scales you can play with almost any western piece of music - lagartijaverde, MAY 26, Or a tendency for those old enough to be parents to hate anything but what they're used to.

A lot of modern music is a soundtrack to a video and doesn't make sense on it's own. There's a whole world out there of rap music that is not "digusting".

You can't categorize an entire genre just because some of its most notorious examples are a certain way. Yeap you are right what about the vulgarity that exist nowadays I mean regueaton - katita, MAY 26, With his command of large-scale musical form, as well as his attention to secular text-setting, Du Fay set the stage for the next generations of Renaissance composers. By about , European art music was dominated by Franco-Flemish composers, the most prominent of whom was Josquin des Prez ca.

The exchange of musical ideas among the Low Countries, France, and Italy led to what could be considered an international European style. On the one hand, polyphony or multivoiced music, with its horizontal contrapuntal style, continued to develop in complexity.

At the same time, harmony based on a vertical arrangement of intervals, including thirds and sixths, was explored for its full textures and suitability for accompanying a vocal line. Josquin, like Du Fay, composed primarily Latin masses and motets, but in a seemingly endless variety of styles.

His secular output included settings of courtly French poetry, like Du Fay, but also arrangements of French popular songs, instrumental music, and Italian frottole. With the beginning of the sixteenth century, European music saw a number of momentous changes. In , a Venetian printer named Ottaviano Petrucci published the first significant collection of polyphonic music, the Harmonice Musices Odhecaton A.

Prior to , all music had to be copied by hand or learned by ear; music books were owned exclusively by religious establishments or extremely wealthy courts and households. After Petrucci, while these books were not inexpensive, it became possible for far greater numbers of people to own them and to learn to read music.

At about the same period, musical instrument technology led to the development of the viola da gamba , a fretted, bowed string instrument.
