Wherever you go, you hear it. Its what defines generations and is an all powerful weapon. Ever since the beginning of time, music has had a political and cultural influence throughout society. Everyone has their own taste in music, and its our differences in what we like and don't like is what makes music so special.
Another thing as to why music is so important is that it can express feelings and a message that the artist cant say in words. An example would be Kendrick Lamar's new album To Pimp a Butterfly, in which he talks about the white on black crime that has taken the world by storm. His song Alright is used in Black Lives Matter protests. Another example would during the 70s, Led Zeppelin held the reigns of the music industry and opened up new doors for other rock stars such as Kurt Cobain.
Music can also be used to help people in times in need, and that's were music therapy comes in. Personally, I love music because music brings people together and makes people laugh, cry or just dance around. The fact that music can have such an impact on a society and an individual is amazing. Though there are some cons to the power of music, such as today's rap artists; that doesn't mean that music in this day and age is all bad.
I always hope that somewhere someday there will be a artist that can change the world just with their creativity and skill. Whatever the case, music is the most beautiful sound that has ever happened on this Earth, and I hope it stays that way.
