blogpost 7: Cultural Impact of rock music to people.

Rock and roll then until now has a huge impact when it comes to culture. If we're gonna look around on our surroundings, you'll see many heirlooms of rock and roll in a certain industry. Here in my home town in Manila you can easily identify who's and who is not.

So when it comes to rock culture many people we'll say are free. According to the article "The cultural impact of rock ’n’ roll" by Andy bannett of docunator.com that when the band in that certain batch of audience. They had a huge impact when it comes to culture. Like emulating them for example the mood,genre and etc. Andy bannett even stated that "Half a century after it first appeared, it is easy to overlook the cultural impact of rock and roll on its audience. Yet, this musical style changed forever the way in which popular music was produced and marketed and also the way in which it was socially received."

We are all indeed influenced by rock culture. Even though some people are adopting or don't want to to adopt it. Still, we are under the influence of rock music.
.

But, how to people intend to join this kind of cultural influences? So I decided to take a research about it, and I found interesting facts. According to the article entitled "Influential Beats: The Cultural Impact of Music" by Selwyn Duke of thenewamerican.com stated that  music can change the world because, people are idolizing that certain artist and they're like giving praise to them. While listening to that certain band, they are like brain washed. Selwyn Duke said that "There perhaps is something primal about music, something that can touch or twist one’s soul. This is no doubt why Ludwig van Beethoven said, “Music can change the world,” and William Congreve famously wrote that music “has charms to soothe a savage breast.”


I agree with Selwyn by agreeing to Beethoven's quote and to his article because, for example The beatles they have been a huge effect to our culture then. Not just The Beatles many bands made a huge history in culture. To conclude this, I would like give a big thank you to our rock icons for making cultures that until now we use just for rock and roll.
