It seems like modern music is lacking the magic it once had. We are inundated with a flood of tunes that are technically altered to sound “in”, but the result is often a disappointing mix of sounds, heavy electronic assistance, and less emphasis on vocals. There is a culture of global consumption, and artists seem to lack the skills that allow them to deliver a truly innovative musical masterpiece.

One of the contributing factors to this state of banality is the fact that many artists simply cover already existing songs. They take melodies from past decades, such as the 80s and 90s, and give them a modern twist in terms of sound. Unfortunately, this approach rarely succeeds in captivating listeners and remains nothing more than an unsuccessful attempt to create something new.

Originality is not an infinite resource. However, in the past, music was genuine and had the ability to mesmerize the audience, a quality that much of today’s music lacks. The problem lies in the overwhelming focus on high-tech production, where lyrics and the message they convey often go unnoticed.

Music is considered one of the distinguished seven fine arts, using sound as its medium. Its fundamental elements include pitch, rhythm, and dynamics, which combine to divide this art form into various genres and subgenres. In the following paragraphs, you will learn about some of the major types of music and their historical development.

First and foremost, we must mention classical music, which has been around for centuries. It began to flourish in the 12th century and continues to be composed and performed today. Countless composers and musicians have dedicated their lives to this genre, and the fruits of their labor can be enjoyed (or rather, heard) whenever you step into a concert hall, opera house, or even your local music school.

Another popular type of music is pop music, a commercial art form designed for mass consumption. It typically features catchy, short songs with simple lyrics that easily stick in people’s minds. Its appeal to a broad audience rather than a specific culture allows it to amass fans of all ages and social backgrounds.
