Some people say that music is a good way of bringing people of different cultures and ages together. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

It is often argued that
music
is a nice medium to bring
people
from different countries or having different ages together. While I consider that musical compositions or lyrics of many
songs
seem to be loved by many
people
in the world, I disagree that they are helpful in reducing the generation gap, in fact, the opposite is true in my personal view.
People
having different nationalities love similar kinds of
music
or
songs
in recent times.
This
is primarily because musicians and lyricists prefer to portray the culture or even ways of living of their
people
in their creations, and
hence
, foreigners often choose to listen to the
music
of different areas in order to become aware of practices and traditions followed in different countries.
For instance
, the
songs
composed by A. R. Rehman, who is one of the renowned Indian singers and
music
composers, are hugely popular in the world as they usually reflect the emotions and culture of India. In
this
manner, I believe
music
reduces the differences between countries.
However
, I believe the recently made
songs
or
music
rises the differences between
people
having different ages. While many young
people
love listening to pop
music
or rap
songs
, most elderly
people
hate these styles of
music
and,
instead
, enjoy
songs
having positive or motivational meanings. A recent survey,
for example
, has revealed that the Bollywood
songs
composed in the 20th century are loved immensely by the old
people
in India, whereas Indian children hate these
songs
.
This
is why I think
music
has the least or no effect on bringing
people
of different ages together. To conclude,
although
it makes sense to me that
music
, in general, brings
people
of different locality or
