Part 2: The Ascension & The Fall of Music

Fall

The War is over. They won.

Hello World.

Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything. - Plato 

I hope you all keep this beautiful quote in mind throughout this particular post and won't hesitate to have a little think about ...
what would the great philosophers and musicians from the earlier years think of our generation when exposed to the atrocious sound which in these days passes as "music".

Right now you might think that music has simply lost its touch in quality, and isn't causing any serious damage to our youth...

Well here is a small taste of the future to come.

To be honest, I don't blame the artists of today for their terrible creations... The revolution of music is over, they won. There is no motivation anymore, there are no major causes to fight for... the only few remaining artists which are trying to make a change to our society by creating music that has meaning are unappreciated and ignored.

Our society has been conditioned into catchy tunes and pretty faces... The only way to grab our attention now is through a computerized low based beat, showing off how much shiny stuff you own and how many semi-naked women you can get to dance erotically on music videos....

I do realize that every generation has their own way to rebel, their own movement, their own music to influence them throughout their journey...

But is it really necessary for the music of our generation to be

so

lazy... 

repetitive...

 senseless...

 stupefying... 

computerized

&

unnatural...? 

Is it really necessary for the artists of our generation which play such a huge influence to our youth, to dress and act like asinine primates?

to use profane and violent lyrics? 

to display such a gruesome choice in fashion?...

*Fun Fact: Nicki Minaj's infantilizing, stupefying, self-degrading song "Starships" took 5 people to write.. where the song "Stairway To Heaven" by Led Zeppelin, one of the greatest rock songs in the history of music took 2...*

Now having all of this said... it's going to be quite interesting to see where our awfully strange and horrifying pop culture will take us... But hey, as long as our good old songs remain available to us, how bad can it get.. right?

Here's a little TEDtalks video that some of you might enjoy, i guarantee you that after you watch this video, you WILL like classical music :) no doubt about it.
