EVOLUTION OF NEW POP(ULAR) MUSIC

Image
Music is an art which helps different types of  people across the world to communicate or share their tastes, interests, opinions and beliefs with each other. The creation, performance, significance, and even the definition of music vary according to culture and social context. We have number of genres of music belonging to a shared tradition or set of conventions. Just like any other genre we invest out interest in, we have K-pop ( 케이팝 ) , a genre of popular music originating in South Korea tracked back to early 90s. I was inaugurated to Kpop when I first listened to BTS song - FIRE. It was indeed difficult to know the lyrics but the beat and visuals were so catchy that I couldn't refrain myself but get into kpop much deeper. On knowing more and more, I get to know that they have "idol" culture which was began with the boy band H.O.T. in 1996, as K-pop grew into a subculture that amassed enormous fandoms of teenagers and young adults.

Human is a creature who has all the privileges and liabilities. Furthermore, the complexity lies in the fact that you can't tell what's in a person's mind around you.  In today's world, every single person wants to be successful before the ones they claim to be dear with. Anyways, my intention writing this is not to find the evil in human beings but to state something about depression, anxiety and mood swings. These are the things mostly people get confused with. Anxiety is defined as  "Intense, excessive and persistent worry and fear about everyday situations." On the other hand, depression defines itself as "A mental health disorder characterised by persistently depressed mood or loss of interest in activities, causing significant impairment in daily life."  Do you get the difference? It's not a joke when someone says that he/she is depressed. What happened to Sushant Singh Rajput is tremendously heartbreaking and never healing wound. But peopl...
