Tagging along from the previous post about ownership, the use and meaning of music has shifted. Instead of playing music as a means to be with the community and experience the music together, we put in our headphones and use music as a means to escape from the world. The social aspect of listening to a song only really exists in concerts, and this is mainly due to the way recording music has become so easy. In the past, live music was the only form, and if not live music, records were the only resource to hear a song. Everyone would sit around the record player and listen to their favorite artist’s album all the way through. Now, we don’t give music our undivided attention. There’ll be pop songs on in the department store while shopping, and we’ve become so accustom to hearing it everywhere that you really have to listen to realize what song is playing. The dislocation of community in music has a lot to do with it being an easier received resource that is attainable everywhere by everyone – we all have ownership to it.
