Why Recorded Music Matters

Why Recorded Music Matters

During the rise and fall of the music industry many things changed. New styles were discovered, and new sounds were created, and with this evolution, came recorded music. I found interest in this topic, as I am a music enthusiast. If you think about music now, and what a big impact the music industry has on people, then you could easily see why recorded music is so amazing. 

Music often communicated beliefs, emotions, stories, and educational lyrics, and without the development of music, things could not be shared as far and wide as they have been. Taking the 21st century into consideration, a lot of people find international singers to be entertaining, especially Korean singers like BTS (방탄소년단) or CL. The impact BTS has had on American fans is astonishing, and without the chance to have their music recorded, they wouldn't share their music internationally, or to people who didn't live close to them. 

The fact that recorded music has had such an impact in American history also amazes me. My generation can go back and listen to songs by the Beatles, or by Elle Fitzgerald, and without recordings of them, the music industry would be broken, in fact, it be just another small hobby. Musicians, singers, rappers, and producers are constantly changing new trends nowadays, and without the constant change of music development, the world would be quiet. And boring. And that's why it's so important to see how far music has come, from inconsistent, improvisation, live performances, to Ed Sheeran having almost 31 million Spotify followers alone. 

Even though I personally take recorded music for granted quite often, I understood more about the importance of it after listening to this talk. Artists in the music industry and creating their own masterpieces that can luckily be shared with so many people that can be inspired by their work.

My Response To LaNasia's: A Class Discussion!

My Response To LaNasia's: A Class Discussion! LaNasia typed an article discussing wha we had talked about recently in class, regarding not only the synagog shooting, but also the Kroger shooting. When I read over her blog, I noticed that she spoke about how we allow criminals mercy just because they have a mental illness. I had been talking about this situation a while back when the school shooting regarding Nikolas Cruz occurred. I noticed that many people who decide to shoot up local destinations, or commit hate crimes in general, usually show signs of having a mental illness or issue. L aNasia also talked about how people should be more accepting to others, she states, " This whole class discussion, and the crimes itself has me thinking of how I can become the start to the end of these problems, we as people, as Americans have failed this country, if we put aside whatever feelings, beliefs, and values we have just for a second, we can make a change." These words st...

Impacts of the Metal Type Press Response

Impacts of the Metal Type Press Response By Piper Shiflet Today in class we discussed the impacts of the metal moving type press, created by Guttenberg, and how it effected the history of writing. We first talked about different things that improved when we starting to produce better books and other things, with the metal type press. We discussed it’s impact on religion, the spread of literacy among the lower class, how it improved our economy, and how it helped people share knowledge. I thought sharing knowledge was one of the most important topics we discussed, and the topic of how important the printing press was had also become relevant in our discussion. Being able to share knowledge meant that people from further distances didn’t have to hear the word from another person, and word of new inventions and discoveries would no longer be jumbled up like a game of telephone. Having a printing press meant that people could make documents about scientific discoveries that could chang...

Media Critique: Rolling Stones Article

Media Critique: Rolling Stones Article By Piper Shiflet Journalism has been a hard job to have throughout history, because many of the rules/expectations have remained the same. Journalists must not let their own opinions take over while writing, and being unbiased is one of the most important things to become a stronger journalist. But in general, there are many rules that are broken often, like taking sides, plagiarizing fellow journalists' work and disrespecting their audiences beliefs. This is why most journalists walk on nails and do the right thing, they tell straight facts instead of their own opinions. The New York Times response to the Rolling Stones article, "A Rape on Campus," that was published in 2014 (by no means a recent article) about the false rape case that happened at the University of Virginia, a female by the name Jackie accused a fraternity of raping her. This had already been removed by 2015, as stated by The New York Times, "The articl...
