Classical music is a genre of music that’s starting to fade today. As the generation shift, young people nowdays keeps neglecting the classical music genre. Not much people from Generation millenial to Z enjoyed playing or going to classical music concert anymore. Why is such phenomenon happen, are this a not so important issue or a thing that’s must be address well to the young generations?
Adressing the first cause, in the society now, people who enjoy classical music are being labeled as ‘old people’ or ‘vintage people’. It’s people who enjoy living as if they are in the 1800 to 1900 era. During that era, classical music was popular in some well developed countries, but not in some country who experiences colonialization. That makes classical music less well known in that era and up until now.
Young people in this generation who are loads with burning desire and passion usually listen to hard and upbeat busic to keep their energy align. Some even view classical music as boring and unexciting. In modern era, people use music as a form to escape from their stressful reality. They listen to loud, bass boosted, music and dance to it just for the aspiration of forgetting their problems. A thing classical music can’t.
But they’re totally wrong. Instead, classical music do the exact things that they have been longing for, a sense of peace. With our loud and busy life, we need a stabilizer in order to keep our sanity through life. By going to classical music concert, it help us to process stress and improving our mood as well as focus. Classical music can implement calmness and mindfullness to our day to day life. That’s why i think it’s highly encouraged for young people in this generation to look for balance in life by incorporating classical music to their life by regularly play classical music or enjoying it from concert.
