Music

Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound organized in time.

            I want write about top40-charts.com. We have assignment pop Music Webhunt. It was very interesting for me, because I didn’t know which music popular at the moment, I don’t listen music more, just sometime I listen also when I am on the train. And also just certain music which is my favorite. When I look that website, I  found that “shape of you” is popular at the moment, I try listen and I didn’t like its meaning, meaning is like about meeting with lady, and he loved her body. Might be this is not similar with my culture, if I grew up in US, maybe I would like it. And second popular music is “that’s what I like “ Bruno Mars. That song also doesn’t have exact meaning, how I  understood, meaning like suggest to ladies to go trip with him.  I heard most of the top popular musics but I didn’t like it.   

Before I dint know that have many music genres. I learn many genres. We did assignment about genre, like everyone have one genre, mine was Punk genre.   Before I didn't hear about that one, when I looked from internet I couldn't find more information about Punk, mostly source is Punk Rock. I found less information about funk. Punk is fasting moving and loudly music. It is typically produced short or fast-paced song, hard-edged melodies and singing style, stripped-down instrumentation and often political songs.   It is form of Rock, it developed in early to mid-1970s in United State, United Kingdom and Australia. First punk was aggressively modern, dancing itself from the bombast. It is associated subculture.

I don’t like a read text, but we had a text which we should read, I read about “Same old song”, “International House of Blue Foundation” and “the history of Rap music”.  We read about history of Blues music, Blues music is about social condition of African Americans. Story of blues is beginning from Middle Passage. They had a small memory about their homeland and cultural tradition. They faced many difficulties, they lived slave.  I understood that blues music is about important part of their life.
