like love songs, rock, R&B,jazz,country
Example:

Glee Club/Choir has a broader


concept

-not just the usual madrigals/ singing of


religious, classical and standard songs

Fans were encouraged


to patronize particular singers

Performers are encouraged to explore more the possibilities of


enhancing their craft

3. People are now bolder and daring even in


front of a big audience
Example:
Acceptance of ones sexuality/gay-relationships

Celebrities taking drugs while on live cam

Gay relationships

If I Were A Boy
Songs are more honest and
straightforward

4. Ordinary people are


given opportunities to show
their talents in any part of
the world

Can you imagine the music industry


without the Romantic Period?
What do you think would be our type of
songs now?
Most probably, wed still be singing songs
inspired by operas,
Gregorian chants, structured songs and
madrigals.
