Music
is an inexpensive way
to spend leisure time, relax the mind, and release stress. However
, in this
contemporary world with changing lifestyle and technology, people's taste for music
is also
changing. Earlier, people prefer to listen to traditional music
but nowadays under the influence of western culture, they started listening to international music
. Although
many may see it as a positive phenomenon, I believe this
trend leading us in the wrong directions and have a detrimental impact on our classical music
.
On the one hand, traditional music
is a way
to keep us in touch with our culture and heritage values as well as make us gregarious. To be more specific, music
has the power to strengthen the social fabrics of any society by teaching individuals interpersonal skills, empathy, life
values, or mutual understanding. For example
, our old Hindi traditional song "Zindgi Ek Safar" means" life
is a journey" teaches us the value of life
, harmony, and how to let go of someone without grudges. After listening to this
song, I started forgiving my friends for their mistakes in resulting, we have a strong bond. Moreover
, traditional music
helps us to stay away from modern music
life
raps and jazz music
which is full of abusive words, therefore
, positive mind and overall well-being. In other words
, today's music
encouraging drugs, aggression, abusive language, and conflicts. For instance
, eminent singer Bohemia which is quite popular amongst the youth of the world, sing songs full of abusive language and drug advertisements. According to famous writer ARD Sandhu, " what we listen, we will be". So it's important to avoid such
music
.
On the other hand
, in spite of the fact that some international music
tracks harm our moral values, but It helps us to understand the culture, language of other overseas countries. Furthermore
, music
is the best way
to know about the behaviour of citizens of a particular nation, such
as their likes, dislikes, way
of living, mentality, traditions and fashion trends, which may help countries to increase global harmony. For instance
, 90% of Indian students listen to international music
to change their dressing, hairstyle as well as learn international languages and ascent of native speakers.
To conclude, even though western music
has a few benefits as it helps us to learn new languages and enrich our knowledge about diverse cultures. Nevertheless
, international music
is potentially dangerous for our cultural and heritage values.Submitted by rajnipuri51 on
