... ” I believe that the way we classify music has much to do with the way we classify society. ... ” This brings me to my point that although all music is art, where its particular audience stands in society is what classifies its seriousness. ... Music is defined by society as serious or not serious by what aspect or social level it affects. Music which appeals to a higher class is considered more serious, music that is from a lower class in society is considered less artistic, but all music is equally artistic as long as it is expressing an artists vision. ... The reason this performance is still considered serious however, is due to the fact that the symphony appeals to a very high end of society. ...
Other genres of music developed over time from different regions and cultural clashes. ... Jazz was another genre of music that evolved from blues, and was also at first disregarded by many due to its connection to a low part of society. ... The genre would not popularize for sometime, but still to this day is not considered serious music due to the fact that rap is most appealing to the lowest levels of society. Although rap and hip hop many times address important issues, is very artistic poetically, and paints realistic pictures of real life, it is not considered serious due to the level of society for which it is created. ...
The different aspects of how the music of a particular genre is created also had a direct correlation to how artistic or serious it is considered. ... These along with many other artists or composers are considered serious musicians due to the fact that not only they appeal to the highest class of people in society, but also that they had such extravagant knowledge of music theory, instrumental coordination, and how to express emotion. ... Classic Rock and Roll bands, blues singers, and Jazz musicians are all considered artists and true musicians even though at one point these genres were looked down upon due to whom they appealed to in society. ... Rap and Hip Hop music also are considered less serious genres of music, although they are so popular among so many levels of culture. ... Music is marketed to specific areas of culture and there is no coincidence that a rapper talking about violence in the streets appeals very highly to people lower in society facing those very things. ... The downfall of these genres is that they appeal most to young adults who do not fit the exact conservative description of an immediate follower of society. ... Hip hop and rap are also looked down on as inartistic because they incorporate stories, situations, and urban feelings that are not aesthetically related to anyone outside of the lower classes in society. ... The genres of music considered artistic by the highest people in society are the genres of music considered most respectable and most serious. ... Music is not about whom it appeals to or what level of society respects it, because all music is art regardless of what it is saying or to whom. ... Money plays parts in every aspect of life and society.
