Maybe. Although it is fun to listen to, there are patterns in music, like ABAB, ABCA , \u00a0or different combos. And most of today\u2019s is AAAA, which is sad, the same thing over and over. \u00a0It gets a little boring.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Older MUSIC IS INFLUENTIAL<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the 1960\u2019s, a very famous and talented band called the Beatles came to America and were very influential on some of today\u2019s \u00a0artists.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\u201cl like the classic rock as opposed to today\u2019s music\u201d says Brian Reddington, a Wayland Middle School T.A. \u201cA lot of today\u2019s music sounds the same and I find classic rock unique and that it\u2019s timeless!\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Older music was more complex<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The music \u201cback in the day\u201d had more harmonies and one composer or sometimes 2 composers! \u00a0Songs today usually have more than three or four composers and the pieces don\u2019t have as much complexity.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>AUTOTUNE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">There are other flaws like not singing in tune. Most artists today use something called auto-tune. Auto-tune makes the singer sound in-tune when they can\u2019t get the correct pitch (intonation). And it sounds weird! \u00a0It sounds non-human and very artificial.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>INAPPROPRIATE<\/strong><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Another thing is that songs today are also very inappropriate. Bruno Mars is a very good artist, but one of his hit songs is not very appropriate! \u00a0\u201cHow do I politely say that older music is better?!\u201d says Graeme Robinson, WMS Org Skills Teacher. \u00a0Lady Gaga isn\u2019t very lady-like in most people\u2019s opinion. Then there is Miley Cyrus; just don\u2019t go there! There are so many things wrong with her music, that some people just don\u2019t know where to start!! She\u2019s very inappropriate with her songs in lyrics and in music videos. \u00a0She sounds like she\u2019s had voice damage and uses a lot of auto-tune. \u00a0Thus, 50\u2019s-70\u2019s music is better to listen to and better for you.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Are the songs getting boring?
