One of the great problems facing modern Western society is cultural fragmentation. Music, once a common human activity, has become something increasingly passive. Most people no longer make music themselves; they consume it. Songs stream endlessly through shops, restaurants, headphones and phones, yet many people rarely sing except jokingly or awkwardly at karaoke nights.
Like most products, music is reduced to taste, and people gather around those with similar tastes. The result is that many people think music creation belongs to professionals, recording studios or enthusiasts rather than to ordinary men and women.
