Dear Diary,
Modern day culture has transpired into something beyond extraordinary. How? Well today, I saw something impeccable — something extraordinary. Pop culture.109Please respect copyright.PENANANsuy4EsOn3
Now music doesn't seem scripted. Music now feels like a sign of freedom, like a butterfly that finally spread its wings and took flight.
And it's not only just pop culture.109Please respect copyright.PENANAR051dlwac2
There's others. Some explain how society is shaped and what we can do to solve it. Or some can express what their first heartbreak was. And that's what brings us together.109Please respect copyright.PENANAtupcXjsiwP
There's a lot of things that song culture has brought us together in this society.
You may ask: what inspired me to write this?109Please respect copyright.PENANA7Cc6BW50H7
Well, today I took a step into memory lane, where I was once depressed and was about to end it all. Until I had a taste of music.109Please respect copyright.PENANAXI1121zlBu
That was the first time that music had truly touched me. It was like explaining my life in a 5-minute song. It explained how life seemed so free when you were young, but as you get older, time seems to get trapped — as if you were locked inside of a prison shell.
And that's why I don't wish to continue on without recognizing it.109Please respect copyright.PENANA8IN7IBYQa1
I've seen what music does. For example, the Super Bowl.109Please respect copyright.PENANApvXkQbxqWF
Remember when Kendrick Lamar performed at the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show?109Please respect copyright.PENANAcKvmq2trRQ
He didn't just perform it for fame. He performed it for the world to see.109Please respect copyright.PENANASTPa4ctnsM
He had a purpose for it. How?109Please respect copyright.PENANAzY0CNZoSmO
I'm going to keep it simple — he was telling us that Donald Trump, the president of the United States, isn't president-approved. And I agree.109Please respect copyright.PENANADynrktnWTA
How? Take a look at the news and you tell me what he hasn't done.
But otherwise, back to the music topic.109Please respect copyright.PENANAjHjpo1aJMV
I want to tell you how music has transpired for me to write this.109Please respect copyright.PENANAzRGGkwIh43
Music is a sign of peace. A peace of mind that people can relate to.109Please respect copyright.PENANAuh61tT4zF6
A place that sometimes gives you answers — and you won't even notice.109Please respect copyright.PENANAnRUnQbe4TL
Sometimes music helps you focus on everyday activities.109Please respect copyright.PENANAEOJMrcqRRK
You see, job industries don't understand that music can positively impact their workflow and income.
Because with the power of music, comes positive outcomes — sometimes.109Please respect copyright.PENANA5ouavkZial
And you may be asking: what do you mean "sometimes"?109Please respect copyright.PENANAcg5QTQE9cm
Well, some music isn't positive.109Please respect copyright.PENANAKtJsQyWLEv
How?109Please respect copyright.PENANA2txJMGzU86
Well, some music portrays negative action, which sometimes influences the listener to get inspired by the rapper/singer to commit what they think is a positive thing to do — or either do it, knowing that there will be a bad outcome.109Please respect copyright.PENANAWRMfhqrCVJ
Which I find ridiculous.109Please respect copyright.PENANAdD2w1Fy8Tn
Because you've been on this earth for decades and you don't know what's right from wrong.
Some music has a sign of freedom.109Please respect copyright.PENANAH6dGRDNopW
How do they portray it?109Please respect copyright.PENANAYG62MfN3vN
Well, it connects with the soul.109Please respect copyright.PENANAvpgy5ilYTb
They sometimes emit a catchy rhythm, and your body may naturally dance to it, or it just gives the listener a happy mood — along with a catchy verse that portrays something relevant and addicting.109Please respect copyright.PENANAy88n0kZGGg
And it sometimes sticks with the listener. Especially blues listeners.
And some music portrays a coping mechanism for people who are in desperate need of positivity mentally.109Please respect copyright.PENANAS3cOCYwkXx
Because some people have music to cope with a loss, or to help improve their mental health, or to help them find a new piece of themselves that they never discovered.
To end this off: Music has a lot of things for society. It impacts the workspace, the good, the bad, the forgiving, the freedom chaser, and the overlook of how the world is now. Music has helped our ancestry, and it is still in progress now. Music is now an essential part of modern life. Because music has a mood that connects with you.
