Classical Music Heritage and the Growing Pop-Culture

Hello friends, as I think both classical & pop music good in their own respect, It depend on the choice of person what kind of taste he have in music. We can, t listen only one kind of music ever long as after some time it start boring us.

I think most of the music lover like both the rock singer like Atif Aslam, KK, Mohit Chauhan as well as classical singer Kailas kher, Fateh Ali Khan. If You have listen rock music of JAL, Call & Junoon like bands it is so melodious. Young generation always love to listen them. As far as classical is concern in India it is so famous & people can, t leave without listening it. Classical music just remove us from the day to day tension & we are emotionally touch with it. But when its any party time & any huge happiness then we mostly prefer to POP & Mix music.

So it also depend little on situation. So we can say all kind of music is good either it classical or Pop. Music always spread harmony & peace to our life environment. Classical music is the father of all kind of music & it ever lasting in India.

On the surface level, someone can say that classical music is for peace, but actually both Indian and western classical music is a roller coaster of emotions. The harmony or a melody in a symphony can make you happy or sad depending on the mood of the piece. Each and every rhythm and melody in a piece can tell a beautiful story about something. This is one of the biggest reasons why classical music is immortal. Not only there are a lot of pieces in this genre, but the interpretation of every piece is different from different musician, which may set the mood of the piece completely different. It is wrong to say classical music old fashioned since people still listen to classical music. On the other hand, if we talk about pop music, We lost beautiful harmony and melody in today's music. People listen to pop music for enjoyment, but it is actually not fun to listen to pop music. I am not saying everyone to stop listening to pop music and start listening to classical music. I was just sharing my openion.

Yes indeed pop & classical music have their own individual importance. Let it be India or any other country in the world. There exists an equilibrium between that country's classical music and new age/pop music.

Here, as the context is between Indian classical music and Indi Pop, classical music should be given a bit higher priority because the pop music that we all listen today has its roots from Indian classical music only. Pop uses the same musical terminologies and methods that are used in classical music. So it is classical music which is the root of a diverse tree what we call as music, and all other genres are all branches of it. If Indian classical music wouldn't have been established by early age musicians and gurus, then I'm afraid we couldn't have experienced the charm of our favourite popstars or singers.

I think pop singing is not far different than classical music. We can say that it is on child of classical music. Also it is not that that pop music culture is growing & classical music culture is vanishing. Both these have their own unique place in mind of music lovers. Not only in India but in foreign also classical music is being listened with great happiness. You may have seen that whenever our Indian singers like SONU NIGAM goes to foreign show performance manytimes he firstly starts with classical music or songs & he gets good appreciation as always. This is just an example. So I think classical music has its own place that can never be trespassed by anything in the mind of music lovers.

Hii, according to me nowadays we can see so many pop musics are releasing in market but can they remain in our mind for long?or really they touch our heart. I think, no. It comes and stays for very short time. But in case of classical music, they have the capability to attract our mind and heat. Maximum pop musics have very meaningless lyrics which we face sometimes difficult to understand. Only a few of those gets popularity. Even when a pop music comes in market, people hear it for max 5-6 times and they forget it. But classical music's lyrics has good quality, with certain emotional feelings that can easily touch our heart and stays in mind.

As genres, there is nothing wrong with both kinds of music. Pop music is not a genre but it is derived from the word 'popular', so the genre itself means something that most people like. But liking or not liking a genre of music is liking or not liking maths. Of the people I know, those who enjoy classical music understand it or are accompanied by it in some form. Pop everyone enjoys, but yes if you know how to do complex problems you won't enjoy doing normal subtraction right?

So, yes, both genres are good and I feel classical is for the learned because it requires at least surface knowledge of how emotions are portrayed in it.

As we cannot compare between an apple and an orange so we can't compare between classical and pop music. Both have their respective followers. Where classical music reflects our heritage pop music reflects globalization. It reflects the open mindedness of Indians to accept a foreign culture as our own. There are few people out there like myself who prefer both kinds of music depending on the mood. When we are happy and cheerful we prefer pop music like Arijit sing or back street boys and when we are in a peaceful situation or melancholy mood then listen to Rabindra Sangeet or Sufi songs. Thank you.

I am a student. So people expect me like pop music. But I am taking training in classical music, people consider classical music to be very boring but the first time I entered my classes and I felt that the Indian classical music is so rich, deep, divine and very peaceful. It is the purest form of music. From that day, I have reduced listening to western music. Classical Music makes your soul and heart happy. We know that there are music therapies going through the classical music. Pop music can be heard only in some situations but classical music can listen any time and you will be happy.

Music is a medium of expressing one's own feeling. Introduction of pop music in India is not bad. But the way youth have started hating our own classical music, pop music seems disaster. Its not bad to respect the culture of other's. But at the same time it is not proper to hate our own civilization.

Foreigners love our classical music and that's what we are famous for. But we only start hating it, then what will be it's effect on the foreigners ? today's youth are crazy over pop music, but they don't respect our own cultural music. And that's really a big compliment to Indian culture.

Hi, now a days effect of pop culture has grown much more as day by day our country has developed a lot.

So as an our music culture has also been developed people are maximum preferring to pop song and now a days in world also singer are very much conscious about their pop music career.

Pop music career has very much demand in now a days and day by day its demand increases and our classical song as the nowadays few people are preferring.

So as per the development of country and the mentality of people pop music has gained much popularity in front of the people.
