Young people and music, pop and classical

It's true that some young people are crazy about pop music and indifferent to classical, but I am by no means sure that it is a majority. Young people like pop music usually because of the beat - which makes it easier to listen to than to classical music and requires less concentration. Also, the words usually have to do with everyday life and seem more immediate and important than the words of operas and songs by classical composers. The singers of modern songs are usually very little older than their fans and come from ordinary homes which helps their fans to identify themselves with them. Often young people are not so crazy over the music as over the pop stars. In general classical music demands a very high degree of concentration, some knowledge of music and, if possible, some knowledge of the composer's life and times. This is beyond a lot of young people who only want to listen to music to enjoy themselves, although I believe that most young people like both pop and classical music. A lot of young people like the beat of the music for dancung. Dancing to pop music is feer than dancing to classical music. In fact, most young people are indifferent to classical music because they are never properly introduced to it. The fact that classical pieces used in films and those in the pop charts prove popular shows that there is no reason why young people should not enjoy classical music.

Classical music does not require any concentration, it is calm and relaxing. The melody lets your imagination wander...
