Music of Today
There is a variety of music but central genre is pop.
In the present, music is written all to do with love; falling in love, breaking up,suggesting things, and an occasional other subject.
A lot of people listen to music, few actually hear what it is saying.
We have come very far in technology And taken a small step backward in song messages. Things will just keep getting more advanced and music will show us how.
