Name something modern-day “musicians” and alcoholics have in common. They both refuse to admit that they have a problem and relate to decline of grammar in English. Social media’s dominance causes the language to become inaccurate–words such as “going to” are now written as “gunna,” and younger people are using this kind of spelling in their daily life outside of social media. Society no longer cares for the value of the rules in English; they continue their bad habits thinking they are making a positive contribution to the language. An alcoholic holds similar qualities to the rules of English as he constantly drinks alcohol to forget his problems, thinking he will achieve something great besides a damaged liver.
Music relates to English due to its decline in quality that will not be addressed. Anyone can make music today as there are platforms to create and share the composition with anyone. But it does not mean that all of the songs created by 13 year old SoundCloud Rappers or Bhad Bhabie or the “Lil” rappers create the music that deserves to earn a Grammy. Instead, “music” by these SoundCloud Rappers do not have any meaning. Even though the local radio station does not consider releasing their ruckus, “musicians” exert their influence on social media and gain popularity through their music, which further inspires young people to create their own music with the technology available to them. “Musicians” relate to alcoholics as they refuse to acknowledge their unusual habits and learn how to fix them. The youth on social media create their own music, which sounds like a glass shattering against the floor that makes your heart skip a beat and have you jump up startled. While anyone can be a “musician,” literally anyone can be a “musician.” When can the expectation to take singing lessons, instrument lessons, or a school specialized in the arts to deliver music come back? It needs to come soon before high quality music vanishes.
