Music's so important.
March 21st 2008 06:50
I'm really sorry I haven't bee posting nearly as often as I should, I'll try to work on that.
BUT! Sitting here in my state of insomnia pondering what topics I can butcher and present to you in an attempt to make a living out of blogging... I hit a wall. I had nothing. I resigned myself to paying attention to the song that was playing and then I hit something else-an idea. Today's entry shall be about the role music plays in the lives of Generation Y.
So I’ve rubbed my two brain cells together, created friction and come up with the idea that music is quite important to Generation the Alphabet's Almost Over. Come on, don't deny it, there are songs that make you get up and dance, there are songs that you swear were written for you and your current situation and if the right band were coming to town, you'd probably let the fan girl inside of you loose to win tickets.
Music makes life bearable.
If you're not a fan of being alone, you'll play something that makes you feel good and distracts you from noticing you're a little lacking in company. Sometimes when life is spectacular, having a good party song on full blast as you drive home gives you the perfect outlet for that voice of yours that's longing to tell the world something worked out. Or what about when you want to smash something to pieces and/or feel like no one understands? Well if you're willing to do two seconds worth of searching, you'll find a track to match your mood or tell you to keep going, keep working through that pain.
Music brings people together and sets them apart.
It brings you together in that when you go to a festival, meet and greet etc you're with people that know that underground band and support that cause you and the artist in question are trying to promote. Suddenly, there are people like you that you just click with. It also sets you apart in that the way you present yourself and the philosophies you have tend to overlap. This leaves room for generalisations certainly, but what someone's into in terms of audio tells you a bit about what else they're into. Kind of like an executive summary. Suddenly you not some person, you’re that kid that’s into cool industrial music from Europe… wonder if you’re any good with gadgets…
Our lives need soundtracks.
When we're sick of the car horns and the dial tones, we can turn to the creations of an artist of create something ourselves and we can be like, “hey this is what's going on with my, all wrapped up in a sound file”.

Ouch, this hurts because I know about the
matter, it haunts me like it owns me. I enjoy your views, ok, . . . most of the time.
