All, Does mainstream music still hold the same cultural/political importancetoday as it did thirty years ago? Why or why not? later, JTM
I don't think music from the past is the same as today. As time go on everything changes whether its the type of instruments used, lyrically, or content. The only thing that probably is still the same is the catchiness in mainstream music. It's the key to selling records. Back then most of the music were about the current situations and now its about partying, smoking, money, cars, and women. There really isn't any content in music today. It's just a fad for a good month or two and then it dies down. On the other hand, mainstream music thirty years ago lasted for years. Sometimes we hear it today. For instance, mainstream rappers today rap about iPhone 4s and blu rays. It would look really stupid if you listen to it 2 years from now. Like I said, its just a fad.
