Music's Evolution

Music has evolved a lot in the past hundred years. In the 1750’s there was a style of music called Baroque Music, more commonly known as classical music nowadays. This style of music was one of the only and popular styles and the musicians who performed them would have performed at courts for Kings and Queens or other important figures of a nation. 
Later on, in the 1900’s, music began to expand exponentially with the creation of blues, ragtime and jazz. This was from between 1900-1930 (around then) and was very popular. The creation of these styles of music are the reason that they call the 1920’s ’The Roaring Twenties’. Many people were celebrating the end of the World War and jazz was able to express that feeling more so than the classical style. 
After this rock, hip hop, punk and a lot more was created. There were many artists from this period that became very famous. These styles became very popular, maybe because it was new and people wanted to try out new things. Some of the artists were The Beatles, Elvis Presley, ACDC, Chuck Berry, Iron Maiden and Metallica. (I added all the Rock and Roll artists because I’m a big fan of rock J). Music had definitely begun to expand at this point but it was not finished. 
Music was still developing, even after this huge outburst of genres. However, with the advancement of technology, the new styles now involved less of the traditional guitars, drums and bass and involved the use of technology. Some examples of these would be electronic, dubstep, Party music, pop , and various other styles. Although I like some of the new styles, I still believe that the music from the 60’s-80’s had the more talented musicians. Granted there are still many artists who use guitars and bands who have the usual setup but there are many of the mainstream music that are not to my taste. (1 Direction and Justin Bieber mainly).
The Evolution of Music is extraordinary as it started from one style and then evolved into hundreds, possibly thousands, of different genres and styles that are shared to the world.
