How Music Changed Over Time

As the world around us changes, so does the type of music we listen to. Whether it's music played at a party or music we listen to for enjoyment, it is undeniable that music has greatly changed over time.   Music has originated even before the precolonial times, specifically during the middle ages. During the middle ages, music was generally instrumental and classical music followed not long after.

However, as we neared the 20th century, even more apparent changes to the musical stylings occurred. Not limited to Michael Jackson, the Beatles, Elvis Presley and more, various artists and bands began composing different music with styles such as jazz, rock and pop. Now in the 21st century, music has become more energetic, more upbeat, and definitely less acoustic.

Rather than composing the music with instruments like guitars and pianos, today, many musicians have become EDM, or Electronic Dance Music artists. More focused on the beat and percussion of the song, artists and DJs such as Skrillex, David Guetta, and Zedd have dedicated their entire musical career to composing these type of music that are enjoyed by people of all ages. Even today, music is changing and always will.
