CONTROVERSY IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

We all have heard about a thing called "controversy" which it is a prolonged public dispute, something that causes commotion. The Music Industry has a lot of controversy, starting from the difference between artists, their types of music and their private lives. Something that becomes really controversial is when an artist dies all of a sudden. It gives people a topic to talk about, sadly. Have you ever stopped to think about how singers become more famous after they are dead? For example, the Latin American star, Selena Quintanilla's legacy grew exponentially after she was shot dead at the age of 23.

OPINION ON THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

 Our opinion on music is without it, people won't be able to start their day with a good and positive mood.

One big controversy in music is an artist's environment. There are tons of artists that come from many different backgrounds. The ones that come from bad backgrounds are the ones that get shut out the most or are looked at differently. They shouldn’t be looked at any differently just because they come from bad or distinct backgrounds. Most artists don’t have a choice where they come from. The artists that come from neighborhoods where there are many bad influences like gang violence and drugs. They live in poverty and must live with what they are given. They are still artists and their music  means  something to people that come from similar backgrounds. All artists should be treated equally no matter what conditions they come from.  Most times the artists that don’t come from a good environment tend to make more violent songs and not everyone likes violent music. That goes back to where the artists come from;  artist’s  are a product of their environment. On th...
