How Is Music A Form Of Art?

Music can be interpreted in various ways, from the process it takes to conduct these life-changing, mind-bending, meaningful sounds, to the construction of releasing these tones of voice into the world. You see, music is a classical sound of vision, with waves of tonality intertwined with forms of storytelling, narrative and realism to embody the overall perspective of authenticity towards their listeners and preferred demographic.

The reason the process of artistry throughout the concept of music appears to be so populist and successful, regardless of generation, decade or era, is because of the emotional aspect that is glued within the music and entertainment industry. The style, process and inspiration continues to expand and flow into every new generation in various forms, through both the social media impact and global circumstances. The emotion enhances both realism and inspiration, as music represents a form of art through its unique ability to interact with national occurrences in our world. For instance, the ability to form music provides artists with the opportunity to influence the future generations to come, especially with the increase of social media platforms such as Tiktok, that provides a platform that literally interlinks with the purpose of music, forming a professional expression of synergy as musicians now have the opportunity to collab with these top end platforms to enhance both the success of them and the media outlet that distributes their content.

The emotional formation of musical sounds is thick in value when it comes to the music as a whole, as the realist aspect has a correlation with the physiological, sentimental grip that these chords of sound have on our pluralistic society.

It’s almost spiritual.

These musical pieces have the capability to transform inner mindsets, perspective and values, interchanging the morals of our human thoughts and substituting our beliefs in totality, constantly educating mankind on how to interact with one another, and how to view racial, religious and social classes. The informative aspect of sound portrays the reason why the construction of musical genres such as hip pop and rap will never die; it’ll continue to develop over the years as we’ve seen from the initial growth of rap musicians such as 50 Cent, and Lil Wayne, who still appear relevant to this day.

Music is like wine, becoming even sweeter over time…

It has the ability to age well, while having an impact on socialist topics such as race, gender, religion and the hierarchy scale, while focusing on talent, with no negative disruption towards issues such as ageism, as young demographics take up the majority of our entertainment audience from music streaming platforms such as Spotify, to Apple Music. With greater access to social media, there’s been a large increase in the uprising of musicians from a young demographic, who can provide a unique perception of life through their eyes that’ll appeal to the majority of the population at hand.

Minorities have the ability to release their voice through music, as many artists such as A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie have admitted that without the opportunity to make music, they’d still be suffering the neglect of poverty, bad housing and racism in hood-like communities.

Musicians use global circumstance as a drive to form their opinionated pieces, expressing their deepest thoughts and releasing their pain through the concept of tone. It’s provides the artist with the opportunity to gather their thoughtful insights and find their voice through soulful lyrics, such as a personal choice of mine, ‘Wolves’ by James Arthur, which had the ability to retrace memories I had buried deep in my heart, as the lyrics portray a visual thought of hurtful people tearing down young individuals with the conception of them hunting down their prey like a pack of wolves, resurfacing old memories of the process of preying on others as a form of protection against oneself.

Music has the ability to interfere with the inner depths of the human soul, using the reference of current culture, such as leaching to emotions such as pain and joy in our modern society.

This form of expertise rejects repeating itself, but thrives in its distinctiveness and boldness, having a wandering mind of its own as brilliant minds come together to construct impactful sounds that have transformed the mindset of humankind forever, and live on for generations to come, creating legends such as Michael Jackson.

Every sound is different, every tune has a separate agenda, a different meaning. It’s all about the emotion it allows its audience to feel, how the sound, tone or voice of the musician nourishes your soul in such a way that it rehabilitates old memories, forces change in direction or thought, and lifts your spirit into a supplement of positive emotions such as joy and peace.

It’s the memories attached to sound that portray the value of sound itself.

It’s the intensity; the sentiment attached.

That, to me, is the concept of music.

It’s deeper than a simplistic sound, more than words on a piece of paper.

It’s a whole culture in itself.

Just like art, music tells a story, but instead through the formation of sounds.

It’s not just sound, it’s craftsmanship.
