Subculture- Music

Subculture -Music- Andrew
I guess a subculture that I generally fall into, and I feel that represents me most is the subculture of music. I’d say I fit in to it because I’m a musician for one, and I’m also a real music appreciator, I like to observe and analyze all kinds of music, and I guess I would say it was my most concentrated hobby. What attracts me into to music is all that it has done and all it can do. There really is a lot to music; I think some of its aspects are often overlooked. Aside from being a good Mood setter, music do so much to people that I’m having trouble coming up with words to describe it. It’s a part of everyday life, it’s everywhere and it basically covers just about everything, from feelings of all sorts, to philosophies of life, viewpoints of life, and so much more.
Being a Musician I have come to realize that Music is much more than a way to become rich and famous, which is actually a sad case for many sellout bands that base their musical expression on greed, self image and fame rather then what Music is really about. Music is the expression of soul, thoughts and feelings in my opinion, I play not because I want to be famous or make people think I’m worth something, but I play to release. I play to “let it all out” in a sense, I’m obviously interested in making fat cash, but I realize that good music comes from within, not what you think everybody else will like and make you famous.
As I mentioned earlier Music is much more than just a beat or tune that makes your foot tap or gets your body grooving, it’s an art form that’s possibilities are limitless. Music can tell a story, it influence thinking and feeling, it can display a philosophy or way of life, it can teach a lesson, really it can do anything within realistic boundaries. Music has been around for so long, and as it continues to grow, you really see how limitless it is. There is so much to be said about music, that I really don’t know what direction to take this blog post, so I’m just going to cut it off here.
