There was a time when people would rejoice in a piano song. My favorite was Canon in D. It was a different time. I would like to write about those times, the lost moments in history when people were different and the music they listened to was different.
Now, social media has made short music more attractive. If you are a good music artist today, you could make millions and more. What we are looking at here is the change in mentality over time. It’s like when computer engineers were born, the people who worked on farms had no idea. The great music artists are the creators of tomorrow. With the rise of social media, the music industry has transformed, offering new opportunities for artists to reach global audiences in ways that were unimaginable in the past.
When talking about songs today, ‘Kerosene’ is the one that stands out. The modern songs, the ones after the year 2020, should be like this: direct, to the core, and everything you would want to stay motivated when listening. These are the kinds of songs that people keep coming back to, wondering about the creator.
The recent mix of ‘Kerosene’ by a transgender artist on Spotify is mind-blowing as well; the words ‘I came, I saw, I conquered’ capture the essence. It’s not the only song; the song “Promise” by “iwilldiehere” also hits the core of your heart.
These new modern songs are different from the old style of songs. The purpose of these songs is to create a fire in your heart. Also, these songs touch deep into the human mind; they reveal the hidden human consciousness, somehow awakening Freud’s unconscious theory.
There was a time when rap music used to prevail in the music industry. I call it a basic human psychology, and as we have grown further, the music scene has changed. Now, most songs try to reveal past traumas. Even the sigma song on the internet reflects the trauma of millennials, a generation that has suffered greatly.
Now, when we look at social media, there are users who either boast about making money or reflect on the past, trying to convey a message of how beautiful the year 2016 was. We humans have rejoiced in our past experiences through the songs of today. The memory of each event is now connected with songs.
One of the tragedies of today is reflected in the song “The Fallen” by Caleb Bryant. Apart from everything, the music has resonated with users today. The greatest entrepreneurs are related to music; for example, Andrew Tate has his music on TikTok. Our lives are connected to how great the song is.
Even movies are related to modern songs now; for instance, the movie Oppenheimer, which already had a great original soundtrack, is related to “Bloody Mary” by Lady Gaga, and the song sounds even greater. This is a sign that the new generation today is seeking a significant change in the music scenario.
I’ve also realized that I feel different when listening to songs on TikTok. There is a definite paradigm shift.
