If for every period there’s a genre, for every genre there are different styles depending on how each composer interprets the world that surrounds him or her. Music is an open field, where anyone who is in possession of the capabilities (or, at least, wants to take a chance) can express his vision of the time in which he or she lives, taking the point of view he prefers: this gives birth to the music that describes personal events, the life in a couple, events in the life of a person, or global events, with protest, sustain music, denunciating situations that involve everyone.
From the classical music to bebop, every genre represents a kind of musical photo of its time; in more modern times we can think about the Beatles, that signed an époque with their music, picturing their times, as well as Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, with their music whose lyrics were a picture of the civilian society, with hopes and protests, and then the Queen and many others.
Those who draw near to the music do it to express themselves: any idea they may choose to express through their artistic talent, the various talents must be accompanied by the right accessories. The musical instruments stores always follow the trends of the musical era they are in, proposing the musts to get into it. If your aim is the electronic music, that is to say the maximal expression of the world of technology, you will find a universe of possibilities in the DJ accessories, that with mixers, samplers, headphones and much more let the aspiring DJ into the music that better reflects the technological era. Instead, those who have a more “classical” musical talent will choose among a variety of instruments, whose different forms will give different sounds and effects: electrical, classical and acoustic guitars, bass guitars with four, five, six chords, electrical and acoustic violins...the choice, after all, is between the acoustic and the electrical version of the instrument, in all of its variances: depending on the genre and on the tastes, everyone will take one road or the other. Anyway, audio amplifiers will be necessary to spread the sound of your instrument also in big areas.

end, for those who make music its purpose id that of expressing their own ideas and emotions, identifying in one style or the other; for those who listen to it is a way to share their ideas and feelings, identifying in a genre or the other. The audience are exigent; they can have their preferences, just like musicians, on the musical instruments, preferring, for example, a group with acoustic, and not electric, percussions, or vice versa. Singers, on their side, have the choice of the microphone and of the effects, they choose if they prefer walking around on the stage or staying still, maybe sitting on a chair: little details that make the difference, giving their contribute to creating the right atmosphere.
