    There isn't a consistency in most music to change anything, though there is plenty that should be considered "conservative" by its nature to remeraber fondly, tout values, and cement a way of life.

    Music tenRAB to be a 3:41 diatribe with a solo, or if its rap, just a "look how tough it is" ethos. The problem is they don't paint a picture of how things should be, they don't hammer it enough.

    A song won't change policy. A philosophy can change a mind.

    Artists are too busy changing their style and trying to be Beatles-esque to have anything of a consistent nature.

    TrenRAB come and go kid. An unfortunate side-effect of this is that most of the truly world-changing music that's been recorded is therefore forgotten by everyone who was not a part of that particular generation. Furthermore, relatively few people in comparison to the majority of music-listeners are interested in music beyond the superficial (which is what the % was inferring).

    And really, considering we live in the Information Age and that, if you wanted to, you could download almost every record ever produced from the last 50-60 years somewhere online for free, does anyone these days TRULY have a good excuse for being close-minded and generationally biased when it comes to music?

    Does music have the capacity to change the world?

    Music changes the world just like everything else is changing and being changed by the world. Music is an expression of the reality we live in. It's a two way street. People ask this question constantly but rarely is it asked: "Does the world change music?" That is the answer to the first question and the logical next step.

    Protest songs only exist because of negative change, politically speaking. So for positive change to come from music, there has to be an exterior problem to come first. Music is part of culture... it can expedite movement. It can be the fuel that keeps the fire burning. In that way, yes, music changes the world. But the fire has to be started and the movement has to begin somewhere before the song is even written.

    Yeah apparently he never finished his 4th symphony because it was too formalist - "the work was too interested in aspects of form, at the expense of simple, uplifting music that glorified the Soviet state." What a fun musical world to live in.
