It is often argued that despite the diversity of cultural backgrounds and ages, music can reunite everyone regardless of those factors.

It is often argued that despite the diversity of cultural backgrounds and ages,

music

can reunite everyone regardless of those factors. I strongly disagree with the statement because

music

preference is based on individuals' backgrounds and generations.

First

of all, an individual’s

music

taste can be determined by their culture. It is because people’s culture produces some specific musical behaviour.

For example

, most Europeans love to listen to fast-paced and complex

music

which contains high notes since their ancestors arranged many complicated songs.

However

, some particular societies,

such

as Asians, prefer playing easy-listening songs,

such

as ballads.

Therefore

, it may be impossible to acculturate between different cultures with

music

.

Secondly

, different generations have their own

music

genre. Throughout centuries,

music

has been developed into different forms and genres, while it depends on the preferences of the people who live in those eras.

Although

rock and roll

music

,

for instance

, is the favourite genre of the baby boomer generation, many millennials cannot stand to listen to that

music

for a long time.

Thus

, reuniting people of different ages is unthinkable. In summary, I completely believe that

music

cannot bring people who come from diverse cultures and generations due to their

music

genre which depends on those two factors.
