Music has been around us ever since the beginning of time. It started out as a way of communication and telling stories to what it is today entertainment and an art form. Music can be expressed in many different ways; vocals, instruments, etc. Just the human body can be used in many different ways to produce sounds and to sing songs to create music. As the technology developed new sounds are able to be made by using the computer and voice's can also be altered on the computer. It is still music but it has lost its originality, hardly any new singers today still sing it the old fashion way; a set of vocals, a band, and a recording studio or live audience. I haven't had the privilege to live back 30-40 years ago when music was still like that and all the artists could really sing. I believe that the music industry has changed to the worse over the years. Artist aren't in it for entertaining the audience they do it for the money. Also new artists that come out are just like a replica of the one that came out 2 months before them. I am only 16 and yet my I Tunes library is made up of more than 70% of songs that are even older than I am. I follow bands and artists who started out in the 1970s just because their music is better than modern music. However there are still modern bands and artists out there that do it the way I like, but they are some how not getting as much attention as the computer generated sounds and altered voices. All the special effects added into a song just makes it seem like a messy circus; its noisy and unpleasant. The society and technology has improved but the music seems to have taken the way down hill, and yet there are artists out there who are trying to bring it back onto its upward climb.
