Music has been with us since the beginning of our civilization. In modern times, we listen to many different genres and types of music everyday with access to limitless amounts of them thanks to the internet.
The internet has allowed us to both make and listen to music much easier than ever before in our times of history. This also led to the development of many different music genres, especially modern and contemporary ones. People would often listen to these genres and form an opinion about them.
Of course, there are some preferences of genres due to a music artist, movie, or TV show becoming famous such as K-pop Demon Hunters and Stranger Things. These are benefactors of the internet as well, being more accessible to people not just in their country, but to all around the world. This allows us to have more diverse opinion about songs.
