I feel like the only thing that could easily be compared with what Hughes was telling us about must be rap music. Not only rap music became very controversial but also the way people respond to it is very diverse. Obviously no one can tell us how to interpret music because it is in a way like art, meaning that everyone can have a different opinion about it and understand it in a different way but there is something about rap that I associate with what I just read about. It happened that gay people find a way to express themselves through disco music but I feel like there are many more people who would somehow connect their lives with rap music as there is no taboo topics now and especially nowadays rappers talk about everything. This also creates large communities of people who struggle with similar problems. Similar music taste often means similar lifestyle or even the way we dress and I think it is impressive how music influences us. The easiest way to see the difference between this particular community would probably be going to the Chainsmokers concert and then someone like Pop smoke who is extremely popular nowadays. The arena would probably be full of people wearing black clothes that are under the influence of many different substances wearing golden chains and moving their arms to the rhythm of music. Simple as that, it creates this whole lifestyle and many people like that and that’s why those communities are so big now.
