Ever been in your room listening to music blasting your speakers, when all of a sudden your parents walk in saying "Turn that noise off!"? They never specify what noise they are talking about. Do they mean the music? Music isn't just noise, a noise is something an alarm or phone would make. But music is an artistic form of auditory communication incorporating instrumental or vocal tones in a structured and continuous manner. Music can be more than just something you listen to. It can help people express themselves or it can be used to communicate.
Music is a way that people can feel united. Raves and concerts are the most common places where people can come together to listen and dance to the music that they like. When you go to a concert you are there for the same reason all the other people are there, to listen to one of your favorite artist live. August 1965, The Beatles were set to start their US Tour. On August 15, 1965 in the Shea Stadium in New York 55,600 fans gathered to see a legendary band. All the people there cried, laughed and sang along. Fan interviews were made and they all agreed on the same thing, 'The Beatles is one of the greatest bands and they should stay forever'. This concert was a way for all these fans to feel united because they all had love for the band. A rave is gathering of people centered around the listening and dancing of music. When you go to a rave you expect to be with thousands of people together as one to listen and dance to electronic music.
Music is inspirational. You can be listening to a song and be inspired to write a song of your own. Many artist are inspired by other songs they hear or they can even be inspired by one of their own songs. For example, in any football game, basketball game etc. you are most likely to hear We Will Rock You by Queen. This song motivates the players it gets them excited for the game therefore they may play with a better attitude. Music is not just noise, the sound can inspire people to do something better or come up with new ideas.
