Many teenagers, including myself, like to listen to the pop and rock songs which is the norm nowadays. Many celebrity singers like Katy Parry and Justin Bieber have become world famous for the songs that they have composed and sung. These singers have many fans who are extremely devoted to them and some have even created fan groups to support them.
However, in the age of digitalisation, many teenagers have forgotten about the 'old' classics in the Baroque, Classical and Romantic periods. Many famous composers during that period like Bach, Beethoven and Chopin have all been forgotten by this generation, Z. For example, if I ask my classmates if they know what Beethoven's famous Symphony No. 5 is, most of them would probably say no. I feel that this is a very sad thing as many of these pieces are actually very famous and it would be a waste if my generation does not appreciate these famous works and not pass this on to our kids.
Now, we consider the songs of our parent's generations like the Beatles old and outdated, I wonder, if in the future, these masterworks of the great composers will be long forgotten and the songs of today considered the classics.
