IS THIS THE AGE OF ANGER?

Recently my friend said, "I hate modern classical music, it always sound so angry".

I've never perceived modern music as such especially if I listen to one of praize or asa's songs. But as soon. As she said it, I knew what she meant.

I've often criticized rap for that same reason "it is not like jazz or early rock, I'd say,"those we're happy". When I hear rap blasting from a passing car, I would wonder what the driver is so furious about.

I might as well name our time 'the age of anger and craziness'. Anger seems to be in everything, from films to music, from art to television commercials.

In advertising, they call it 'attitude'. And I would. Be hard-pressed to say what we are all so angry about.

Chat-show guests and speakers who act the angriest get the most applause. It doesn't matter what their position is- if they raise their voices and pinch the air, everyone would cheer.
