With such a deep and pondering question I can only wonder how to answer such a question. Well I will take a crack at it by saying the analysis of music is really similar to the analysis of art . Now when you look at a piece of art be it the Mona Lisa or something that Frank Miller just drew crudely art has a story and style to it that reflects the artists. The same concept can be used to describe music in the same Fashion.
Now to explain this concept a little more thoroughly I will illustrate the stereotypes of genres. When I hear a band like Iron Maiden and compare it with Tyler Swift I realize that that hardcore Metal Group has a brutal and Violent vibe in comparison to the Innocence of little Tyler Swift. When you see a Heavy Metal group you see dark clothes , long hair and they tend to look like a shower is long over due but when you see a country singer you see a clean cut girl who everybody just loves and isn't afraid of. To some it up stereotypes and genres help segregate and purifier the music to a gracious extent. Stereotyping is one way to analyze music. I don’t think that analyzation of music is takes away from the experience of music in fact I do believe it adds to it. When you realize whets going on you can improve upon your taste and judgment in music to enhance the product that you are listening to.
I personally enhance the quality of what I am listening to by sitting down and realizing what I am listening to. When I analyze music I mostly play back certain parts of the song that I thought where bomb and when I go back and forth through it I can sense where more adjustments could have been made and what element of the song or beats can bring the song to a more heighten sense. An example of this is when I listen to Steel Panther I realize that the song is no longer just stupid and corny but that the song has a different guitar solos and drum beats that make it more exiting for people to listen to. I know some people just listen to songs because they sound cool but if you really listen to the beats, the insurments, the lyrics and vibe you can get a sense of personality from the music that makes it unique. Being unique and artistic is one of the greatest goals of musician to have their own sound , vibe and feel is a heighten level for a musician to anyzling the music makes the experience like thousand times better than just listening to what sounds good. So to conclude all of my nonsense I do suggest that people should really listen to what they are hearing so they can get the full vibe of what they are enjoying them selves to.

music and culuture 2
For many people styles and systems are everything . Some people enjoy to be loud and boisterous while others tend to re severe them selves to a gentle whisper. Using this same concept writers use different methods and approaches to gain , entertain and subdue readers. With the power to control an audience its easy for people to express interpersonal views upon people giving them a certain power that holds the quote "the pen is mightier than the sword" . The writers in the essays that I have read all have a deep passion for music and all three writers use a different tone or style of expressing them selves. The approach that i thought was more relevant to use on a musical basis was the article type of message which the writer can express him or her self in a informative fashion rather than giving ones personal opinion. I believe that article type is the best type of format to express ones opinion because of its non basis t view. The journal type of essay is good and has a strong link with the audience but if i dont understand where the individual is coming from then I cannot get into the essay. Lectures are strong in the sense that you have an authority giving you ideas and information but the draw back to that approach is that the lecture can be single sided in its nature. A journalistic opinion on writing is great and has a lot of footwork put into it but a major drawback is that sometimes the sources of information could be inconclusive. With many variety and styles of writing it would seem that it is up the writer to make the final choice to use his or strength to their advantage.
music and culuture 1
So I had to do this assignment in which the teacher asked and I said doubtfully why the hell not. The questions pertained to the book we are reading called Music and Culture which part takes on the social impacts that music has on people through a philosophical point as well as an emotional point of view. The first question asked about my monstrous musical library and how have my taste in music changed over the years? . Well to answer that question my taste in music has stayed about the same. When I was about thirteen i got heavy into trance and electronic dance music because you know the video games and robots so forth. For me electronic music was a way to escape and expand my interpersonal being , kinda weird being that the name of the music trance is go forth in a different world or dream. So as I grew up my musical taste did start to get a little more diversed for instance I rarely listen to heavy metal and sometimes I enjoy hip hop beats , but I dislike Little Wayne one because he looks like beetle juice and two he has nothing important to rap about. My peers do not have any influence on my musical taste. Also I dont really change my attitude towards one or another when it comes to music. Music for me is a time to jam out and have fun.
