Hey yall! Today I was listening to Taylor Thrash's old album (from 2012) on Spotify. That got me to thinking back to his old music compared to his music now, which is COMPLETELY different, but I still love both styles the same. That got me to thinking about all the music & artists that I listen to now compared to 5-10 years ago. Most of them have changed, but a few are still the same. For example, Demi Lovato's music is VERY different than it was back in her Camp Rock days. I'm still a huge Lovatic! But I still love her old stuff just as I did in the past. I realized that my taste has exapanded as I have grown along with these artists. I have always loved all kinds of music, but my ears have opened up to newer music because of the music that I have been listening to has evolved. With T. Thrash, he went from upbeat pop to rap/hip hop. Demi has gone from bubble gum pop to edgy pop-rock. Those are just 2 examples. I could go on for days about the drastic difference in a number of my favorite artists. The point is, a lot of artists go through a big change in their music but it doesn't always mean it's bad. They're just trying things out, & you have to respect them for at least trying to go outside of the box. I hate when I'm watching a music video or a lyric video & I read, "I'm a huge fan of _____ but they've changed so much! I miss the old _____!" Granted, I have said this a couple of times, but I wasn't like a major fan of the person in the first place, I just liked their old stuff better, for example Miley Cyrus. But I mean when a person says they're a HUGE fan then go & bash their music, that's when I get a little annoyed. It also happens with many YouTubers as well. I saw the perfect example of this the other day. I was watching Demi Lovato's VMA performance, & a person commented, "I'm a huge Lovatic, but I miss Demi's old music." It wasn't exactly like that, but it was close to that. The way this person actually phrased made it seem like they were saying they were a big fan of Demi, but they hated all of her new music. I don't think you can be a big fan if you even remotely hate the new music. I know there are songs that I don't like, but I don't think I could even hate music from the artists that I call my favorite artists. This is personally my own opinion, but then again, I do have a wide range of music. I think that if you claim to support your favorite artist through all of the musical changes, you should also be there to support them no matter what they do (unless drastically go from Top 40's pop to heavy metal screamo that sounds NOTHING like them). Even in that situation though, I don't think they would be doing music if they planned to change to do music that doesn't represent them as an artist.
But yeah...I had to get that out of my head while I was thinking about it. I'll catch ya again in the next post. Have a great week!
Live for God & Love for Music!
