Out with the old and in with the new! Gen Z music has completely taken over the Billboard Hot 100. However, what defines “Gen Z” music or rather what music defines a generation? That’s what I would hopefully like to answer in my research paper. In addition to that, I would also like to discuss why older generations seem to dislike newer generations’ music. As well as discussing the ways music has an effect on the current media. I want to find the whys and the hows but maybe bring in different perspectives and see how they may connect. The only difficulty I’ve came across while looking through my sources was the biases towards a specific generation. It was rather difficult to look for articles that did not have a favor of a specific music from a generation and bashing newer music.
