Musicians are the Jesters and Muses of the modern age. Where before they were suth seers and seeresses, or clown like Jesters meant to please King's and their court; today, musicians fill that position, and they have two paths to chose. They can both make good music for all and have it provide them entertainment and joy. And there are those who use their music to enhance ones view of the world and to spread messages using the mainstream media to the people instead of through the leaders.
Music is one of the purest forms of inspiration. It is about one man or one group sharing their political, social, and spiritual beliefs with the world. Not only is it a form of therapy and artistic expression, but whether they know it or not, musicians today are the ones who inspire us the most. Every movement, every political conference has music. Campaigns have musical supporters. Concerts give musicians the forum to express their beliefs and give people direction and hope. Every leader in every forum of life has definitely had musicians and groups who they listened to that inspired them to do more with their life. They hear messages in songs about truth and reality. Hidden secrets, problems people ignore, and the feelings and emotions of current society and the state of the world.
Music rebels, Music screams, Music stands alone in the crowd. Youth blasts their music down the street saying that they won't stand for injustices, or just saying that they're having a good time and just feeling a good groove, trying to let everyone else know what they could be missing. The revolution of the 21st Century will definitely have music at the forefront. As musicians become more inclined to spread the word of the people and shove it in the face of the government, the youth will always have a place not only to have their voice heard, but to have it shoved down the throats of public officials and be able to yell across the stars, "I am here, I count, this is my fuel, this is my passion, your days are numbered. We are the future and we will not follow your tradition of corruption, bigotry, and hypocrisy. We will gather together in one loud voice and proclaim that we are one united people."
We are the generation of Rap music, we are the generation of Punk music, and we are the generation of hip hop, techno, soul, rock, and roll. And while our tastes may differ, they all share one common message. "This is our time, our place, we are the future, and you can not stop us!"
