Carleen Schappert - 9E Journalism

Could you ever imagine a world without music? The world without music would be a very boring and bland place. Music makes I think pretty much everyone’s life. Music was first invented almost 50,000 years ago. I can bet music back then was boring, but music these days is pretty good. There are so many different types, singers, bands and genres. In the 21st century they’ve come up with mp3 players, iPods, and mp3 phones. The technology for music has really grown over 50,000 years.

There are a lot of new bands coming out. And Bands that are going to be big soon. Hedley, Sum41, Limp Bisket, Secondhand Serenade, and some rap music are all bands that I and my friends listen to when we’re all hanging out. Right now, Hedley is mine and my best friend’s favorite band. They just have some really true music. Their lyrics really explain real stuff that’s happening in teenager’s lives. Whether its heartbreaks, not understanding parents, friends and how they won’t listen to what you have to say, and just stuff that a normal everyday teenager has to go through.

There are some pretty cool bands, that haven’t been recognized in the main stream music yet. Like Secondhand Serenade, and Josh Royse. They have some really true lyrics too. Secondhand Serenade sings more about break-ups and heartbreakers, and about that special person who is always on your mind. Josh Royse is only singing to that one special person, explaining that she’s the only one for him type music.

There are tons of different Genre’s of music. Going from Rock, Pop, Rap, Country, Hip-hop, Old school, Classic rock, Emo, Jazz, Musical’s, and tons of others. There is a type of music for everyone in the world. It’s up to them to find out what kind of music really suits them. It also depends on what they think is the kind of music they like.

To tell you the truth, I have no idea what the world would be like today if they didn’t invent music. It would probably be a very boring and dull world. Music makes up a very big part in my life, from when I’m upset, to when I’m in the best of moods. It just makes me feel better any time of day, any place, any where. Music is just plain amazing.

Next time when you’re bored, and have nothing to do, just pump up your music and jam out.
