TOPIC 3 wk 4

c) Has/will this change popular music?

I think music will become more and more diverse. In the past, most of the Top 40 was made up of pop hits - commercialised and mainstream music that appeals generally to everyone. I believe the current Indie movement is down to a lot of British bands using online communities to reach out to the world. These days there seems to be less 'one hit wonders' and more bands producing their own music, under their own labels. I'm personally not a fan of Indie, but I'm glad it's pushing 'real' lyrics and handwritten songs as being the 'in thing'.

I don't know that music will become more deiverse - it's already pretty out there!
however, i think the choice we are offered will become more diverse. I think the charts will fade out as more and more people are exposed to so many different types of music.
