Outside - Music

We all have our own taste in music, we have our liking in special kinds of music. Most people's tastes are very intricate and abnormal, and hard to pin down. Others can be basic and easy to track. For example, a person could like piano, another likes guitar, but it was never the idea or the feeling it made you feel. In the 1920's, Jazz was introduced to our culture. People seemed to like it for the riffs and the interesting ideas the music expressed. If people just liked the exotic guitar riffs in every song, then they like melody or the detachment of each note. They liked it because it sounds cool, but the 1920's weren't that interesting music wise. Because of our seemingly 'evolving' tastes, we made more music. 1950's, we made rock and roll music. Rock brought light to many ideas that could have been used for much more than it did in jazz music. It brought more attention to cords, drum solos, and interesting lyrics that were used to relate with the listener. People loved rock so much because it was so much better and different from the genres that came before it, and we all have a great ear for new things. People often don't like new things for long, and I think a good reason rock got so popular was because people spread it among each other while it wasn't boring for them. But that's a different point. A few years later, the palm mute (google it.) aspect to rock is starting to grow popular because of its cool dredgy like sound. People liked it because it was new, it added to the feel of a song. But did it really? It was just a sound. We liked the sound. That's it. That's all taste in music is. We like a sound. That's all music is anyway, it's a load of sounds thrown together to make a symphony. Those sounds can be picked apart, we like these sounds on their own but put together it brings out the greatness in it.
