Music And The Middle Class: Influence People In The World

Music and the Middle Class
Music is one of the biggest ways to influence people in the world. You can make music how, when, and wherever you want. Anybody with a microphone and a computer can make a song and put it out. Everybody, worldwide, listens to different kinds of music and interpret it the way they want. People look to music for inspiration and use it for motivation in their life. Americans are heavily influenced by music as it has become very important to the American culture. It is easily shown that teenagers are the most influenced age group in America but it is not as easy to see what social class is the most influenced. Focusing on one class at a time can be a great deal of help as I try to interpret the Middle Class.
The Middle
He progresses from his personal feelings to detailed personal stories of studying different types of music. There are many credible sources in his paper to make his audience further believe or agree with his claim. The feeling that the Middle Class is the hardest class to figure out is backed by his reference to C. Wright Mill’s study and also Canadian novelist Douglas Coupland. With the people of the Middle Class being so hard to get much information out of or figure out, seeing how much they are influenced by any type of music would be a huge problem. He sees the Middle Class just as Mill does, a dysfunctional place full of illness that both contaminates and is contaminated. Even if a little exaggerated, the Middle Class is seen and portrayed like this in the media because they are hit with everything being the majority social class. Many of the music’s influences are blamed on the Middle Class because they make the music popular and the music sets the trends. Many believe the Middle Class craves the attention from the music industry and the rest of the media as it is used as motivation to “revitalize their commitment to self-control and moral discipline”
