Music

has always had an important role in human history since prehistorical times. Throughout the years, we have seen the huge power of
music

in terms of gathering people together from different parts of the globe and filling the
generation

gap. In
this
Linking Words
essay, I will analyse
this
Linking Words
topic demonstrating how, in my opinion,
songs
Use synonyms
do fulfil cultural gaps but it doesn't do the same for age differences.
Firstly
Linking Words
, I must recognise that there are a few bands or
songs
Use synonyms
, that are considered timeless and strongly marked and changed the industry as Queen on Imagine by John Lennon; these examples can be seen as real anthems for a whole
generation
Use synonyms
without any type of discrimination, but, even if they can still be enjoyed nowadays, they lose that cultural component of values that makes today's listeners impossible to fully understand the message of the song .
Secondly
Linking Words
, we must keep in mind that musical taste has changed and keeps changing every day, in fact, if we make teenagers listen to
music
Use synonyms
coming from the seventies they would probably dislike it because
songs
Use synonyms
reflect the life of the years that they are referred to; if we listen to a song from the eighties we can find the protest of a
generation
Use synonyms
against those values that are considered traditional, if we go back just 10 years probably ninety-per cent of
songs
Use synonyms
are about love with a very loose rithm. At the same ,time we can clearly see deep changes in the process of making
music
Use synonyms
, in the past authors used to play mostly traditional instruments
such
Linking Words
as the guitar or the piano;
however
Linking Words
today, thanks to the digital spread, those instruments are mostly abandoned in order to use electronic instruments and synths. To summarise, we can say that we can find very easy
songs
Use synonyms
that managed to bridge cultural gaps by becoming anthems for a
generation
Use synonyms
, in ,addition we can
also
Linking Words
say that
generation
Use synonyms
disparity is very hard to fill because of different factors
such
Linking Words
as changes in musical taste and in the musical process itself, alongside lack of those cultural values that make impossible for an old song to be enjoyed and fully understood in the modern context.
