music theory

A set of rules, guidelines, and terminology that musicians have come to agree upon over time.

Music theory mostly deals with the earliest music ever written on paper to music written in the late 1800's.

Hamilton the Musical

You're life is empty without it. A freaking amazing musical about Alexander Hamilton (Yes, the guy on the 10 dollar bill), and the founding of America. It includes His love life, him at war, and his insecurities.

It's freaking amazing. It's also really cool because they casted "color blind." And please, listen to the soundtrack. This fandom ruined my life. By Lin-Manuel Miranda
Have you listened to Hamilton the musical's soundtrack? Your'e life will never be the same. Seriously though, listen to it. Really, you won't regret it.

Music Scene

Also know as, Local Music or The Local Music Scene, the music scene is created by underground bands in a certain area or state. The music scene isn't defined by genre but by diversity. Any band who isn't on a record label is part of the music scene.

Although there are millions of bands in the music scene, not all of them last.
The music scene is supported by kids who go to local music shows and support the local bands. Without the kids, and sometimes adults, who support local music, the music scene will go to the dust.

The local music scene is like a local buisness, all local bands needs money to survive and they need kids to listen to them.

Every band in the music scene has talent, some more than others of course, but many local bands have the potential to get big, no matter what genre.

Music scenes involve having shows where you go out and support loca music by buying merch and having fun while listening to music that you like. you can get personal and meet the bands personally, and most of everyone is friendly at shows. you can meet other great people and spread the word about bands.

All in all, local music is under rated and really needs to be listened too, you'll never know what you'll find.
The music scene can either be crap or not, it matters what you like. Every state has a scene, sometimes you got to dig to find it.

rap music

a genre of music that used to be awesome. West Coast and East coast rap involved people who were down for their hoods, and talked about their mature experiences with hard lifestyles: they just wanted people to know what they were going through so society would understand and also be entertained.

but then here comes dirty south rap. 80% of all southern rappers are just stupid idiots saying shit like "yeah nigga i be leanin and rockin, gun to yo face I be glockin, hoes on my dick, shiny-ass rims on my car, and I threw some D's on that bitch. I'm a star! Fuck yo ass if u hate, go in a corna and masta bate, some shit here some shit there, dem white people cant dance."

The only reason south side rap is popular is because people wanted to dance to it instead of listen to the REAL gangster shit from the coasts. But one shouldn't put all the blame on the rappers, they should also blame the money-corrupted record companies who allow these dumbass south siders to say whatever the hell they wanna say.
If you want to listen to REAL rap music, buy an album from Eazy E, Biggie, Tupac, or anyone from NWA, WSC, CMW, or DPGC.

If you want the fake shit, listen to Paul Wall, Mike Jones, Dem Franchise Boys, D4L, or Yung Joc.

Guy2: And damn proud!

Classical Music

As a historical period, it is the period of time between about 1750 and 1815. The beginning of the classical period of music was marked by the death of Johann Sebastian Bach. It is characterized by very simple melody lines over a basic accompaniment, often utilizing motifs and sequencing with strict structure and form applied. The Grand Daddy of the classical era is considered to be Joseph Haydn, who has been given the nickname's "Father of the String Quartet", and "Father of the Symphony". Ludwig van Beethoven is also a prolific composer from this period of music, though Beethoven is given more credit for being the leader of the transition into the Romantic period, due to his odd ways of composition which became noticeable has he lost his hearing.

In general terms, classical is used to characterize music written before what is considered to be the contemporary genre of music, specifically music written before 1915. Suffice it to say that it takes an enormous amount of skill to be a classically trained musician. Listen to the Chopin Scherzo in B-flat Minor, or the Beethoven "Waldstein" Sonata. For more recent "classical", listen to Prokofiev, or even the wonderful Gyorgy Ligeti, who died recently in 2006. Classical music is very much alive and it is the reason we have the music we have today. And don't do what a stupid youtuber did once and tell someone opera sucks, therefore Justin Bieber has more skill than a Soprano soloist singing Mozart operas.
Anything Mozart, anything Haydn, and thousands of other composers, including Beethoven before he was about 30, is considered Classical Music.
