Music forever
Music is an art form that has existed not only for centuries but several millenia. Did you know that the earliest and largest collection of instruments was found in China 7000 BC?
On top of that, instruments have always played an important role for music and continue to do so. Additionally, there are many different types of instruments. For instance, there are wind and string instruments but you can find percussion instruments as well.
Even though, there have always been a lot of different styles and genres already, in addition to the old ones more and more different electronic music genres have developed in the last couple of years. EDM (=electronic dance music) for example got more and more popular in the 2010s, thanks to popular DJs like Avicii and Swedish House Mafia.
In conclusion, music has been a part of us for several millenia and continues to do so. Moreover with its many different types of instruments and genres it continues to change to this day.
