20 years old–Time to Explore:
On an article posted online, Lara Unnerstall discusses a new study that suggests that people stop listening to new music at age 33.According to the study, we start out listening to nothing but the top music hits when we’re teenagers. We only hear what’s popular. Then, in our twenties, we start to explore new music that we didn’t listen to as teenagers. We listen to bands that aren’t very popular.
Turn that s**t off!
“Turn that s**t off!” How many of us heard that as kids living with our parents?Personally, I was never 
allowed to play music when my dad was at home, whether it was listening to the radio or playing the guitar. My father hated hearing my music. Many other parents are the same way.
Not-So-Glittery:
In a review on Fader.com, Naomi Zeichner breaks down the song “Here” by up -and-coming artist Alessia Caracciolo from Canada. According to Alessia, she wrote this the day after she went to a party. While she was at the party, she realized she hated being there and that she had hated every other party she had 
ever gone to.
A Moment in the Spotlight:
In most people’s minds, when they think of a singer, they see a young artist who is very attractive and probably hasn’t been singing very long. Unfortunately, this artist probably won’t last very long in the music industry before they’re surpassed by another up-and-coming-artist.
Music Industry Then vs. Now
When I think of music, I imagine an artist trying to reach out to other people and music is carrying his message out into the world. I imagine him sitting in a room with his band, testing the lyrics, trying them out with the instruments, and tinkering with it until it says what they want it to say and creates the feeling that they’re aiming for.
