One of the functions of music is to communicate a message, in this video, DreTheMusicMan talks about how social media has taken music's place as "The" great communicator, and although music has many other functions and attributes, many people are flocking to social media to get their message across rather than starting a band and singing a song. What do you guys think? Is Dre way off?

DreTheMusicMan sets the record straight. Although he is worried about what streaming music will do to our habits, he doesn't want to be misunderstood, never before have listeners had access to music like we do today and there are a lot of benefits to that. What is important is to keep the progress we have made and adjust for any negative side effects. The future is wide open and time will tell what this kind of access will mean to the future of music.

DreTheMusicMan takes a moment to talk about the physical effects that music can have on a listener. From goosebumps to the foot-tapping much of what we feel when we listen to music is out of our control, and that simple fact can lead us to believe that human beings have evolved to love music.

DreTheMusicMan talks about how playlist culture may be interfering with the music we love. Being able to skip songs within our streaming platforms means that we may not be allowing songs to grow on us anymore, and some songs need a little time in order for a listener to fall in love. Going from physical formats like vinyl records and CDs to the stream means we need to adjust our listening habits if we want to catch those deep cuts, there may be more to an album than the catchy singles.
