Times have changed

It's amazing to see where roots of the music I listen to began. Who would have guessed that using elements of blues and gospel could create rock and roll. Although it seems like this progression was inevitably going to happen sometime, it is weird to think that the music I listen to today may not have been created if not for previously created genres such as jazz or funk. Today because music has so many upcoming and new genres, its hard to say where the next decade of music will take us. It seems music is becoming more diverse and unique, which forces new hit bands to add originality to their music when they are in the spotlight.
