So this class was very repetitive. Some key words/ phrases I got from this class was that my generation may be impoverished and the unspoken question of what do you believe? But one thing I do agree with my teacher is that attention is a large part of the reason that we as a generation don’t mind the compression of music. I know that when i’m doing homework I play music as background noise that I will occasionally tune into as like a mental breather from whatever assignment i’m doing at the moment. So at the very least in my case, attention is a large reason that I don’t care all that much about the compression of music. But I disagree of being impoverished. Like art music is in the eye of the beholder and I believe that we each have our own taste in music. Personally I don’t listen to the radio but the music I do listen is also compressed. This music I found last year and I’ve pretty much retreated from the radio or latest songs since then. I believe that because of these compressed songs that I was able to find these new songs like nightcore and Gaming music. I feel that in the analogy of freshly baked bread and wonder bread, I am the Sara Lee bread that has that great rich taste.
