Power Of Music
Today I will be discussing the genre and the essentials of  music because it may not seem like it but music is an very important aspect to most people  including myself. Most don’t understand the concept of music or just have different outlooks on certain categories in music. A site where this is most common is found on  http://www.hotnewhiphop.com/ - like reviews on new songs or even updates on artists personal life situations. This can help build an artist fan base or even destroy it due to the fact most reviews can be looked at in positive ways or turned into rumors. Another site YouTube - where you see people across the world post videos of their art and also creativity for feedback, the top sight to launch videos or become a trending topic over social media. Music gives emotion to the listener which helps them speak their mind on a certain song/album to let the producer know their strengths and weakness to help the artist create music they enjoy.
Music gives people topics to discuss or even make money off because artist give people reasons to talk which adds more money to the commentators which some happen to be side line haters. Do you believe without music most would prosper today ? Would poverty be even higher ? To my knowledge music opened doors for people to make money and grow as one. Music helps build a foundation for society especially in this generation. Music brings spotlights to different conventions such as  Vibe Magazine , you probably wondering what does magazines have to do with music but thats another written source based on artist, music, and their progress. You can download mixtapes apps on your phone which does not only show you how many downloads but also the feedback from people who have listened which gives people broad ideas to write about it then include their opinion. Twitter is another convention one of the biggest one of them all where tweets are posted for people to view and share. You’ll even find certain artist on the Forbes list about their million dollar accomplishments even any big time investments, how they help give back or even sold one of their products for large amounts of cash plus team up with well known entrepreneurs in business. You can also find writings in lyrics we can include poems because the share the same purpose. What would life be without music? The world would be a very quiet place. Music is in many ways the fabric of our lives and the definition of society. It is a reminder of how things once were, an indication of how things are, and a view of where society is headed. Music is a direct reflection of the picture of society. Music can be a way to deliver messages, a poetic medium, a fine art, or nothing more than a source of entertainment. No matter what it is used for, music is the perfect art and our lives would be that much less complete without it that life as we know it would not at all be the same without Music is the perfect art. It has movement, because it progresses over a set period of time. All musical works have a beginning and an end. However, music does not restrict the audience in the way that movies or graphic art does. The listener can create whatever image she or he wants to when listening to music. It is an art that appeals to the conscious mind, but the best music also appeals to the subconscious. No thought is required to enjoy good music, though it is often Instrumental music does not bind the listener into a fixed template in the way that literature and poetry do: the reaction to music is different from person to person. Although it is probably the most difficult to produce the desired imagery in
instrumental music, it can be done. BeethovenÕs Opus 27, Number 2, Piano Sonata No. 14, First Movement gives the image of a tired old man writing by the light of the moon and his passion without using any words at all. Music with lyrics is often referred to as "words set to music." This is not always the case. Sometimes it is more accurate to refer to music with lyrics as "music set to words." This form both widens and restricts the artistic composers to bring out their main ideas without expressing them


  • Hip - Hop
  • Rock
  • Blues
  • Country
  • Rock & Roll

The 5 categories above are different in sound but share certain elements which the artist and culture of the music grow.

  1. Raekwon,

    For starters, it’s super-tough to read your blog post. In the future, please preview what it’s going to look like (i.e., make sure that people can read it). It might help to “clear the formatting” of your text and/or take off the black highlighting feature.

    Alright, so check it out: I only asked us to think about how country music songs and horror movies are genres because I was trying to give us a *stepping stone* from what we already knew about this “genre” stuff in our own lives. The world of *textual* genres is a bit different—I now need you/us to focus on WRITING. So music isn’t really a textual genre that we can analyze for the assignments in this course.

    What you COULD analyze, though, are something like the ALBUM REVIEWS of a certain band, or the album reviews of a certain type of music. Album reviews are based on written language, right? It’s the ingredients/conventions of writing that I want us to check out. So, from what I know about them, here are some of the conventions of album reviews: some kind of rating system, reflections about how THIS album compares to their other albums, if the band is maturing and getting better of if they’re on a decline, and 1 or 2 songs are usually analyzed in depth.

    It’s also very important that you take a look at specific examples/sources so that you have something specific to base your post/analysis on. You’re very knowledgable about music, which is great, but I don’t want you relying on what you already know about music—I want you studying specific pieces of writing.



    In ENG 101-108, I’m trying to train you to become super-observant so that you can get down to the nittiest of details and adhere (if that’s what you want to do) to the audience’s expectations for all the different genres that you’ll write here on out. By gaining a deeper and more critical reading awareness, you’ll be able to adopt/adapt writer’s choices (their writing) into your own writing.

    Also, please know that you’ve already got 3 absences…
