2. Since the music industry established this term, the fuller scope of what
an average music consumer defines as "world" music in today's market
has grown to include various blends of ethnic music tradition, style and
interpretation, and derivative world music genres have been coined to
represent these hybrids, such as World fusion, Global fusion, Ethnic
fusion or Worldbeat. Good examples of hybrid, world fusion are the
Irish / West African meld of Afro Celt Sound System, the pan-cultural
sound of Aomusic and the jazz / Finnish folk music of Värttinä, each of
which bear tinges of contemporary, Western influence—an increasingly
noticeable element in the expansion genres of world music.
3. Many people change how they dress depemding on the music they
listen to, as they like to identify themselves a certain way. If an artists
they like dresses a certain way, they might dress similarly because they
admire them. People might also dress differently according what music
they like because it will make them feel part of a group with all the
other people that listen to that music and they are easily identifiable.
4. People might also behave differently depending on the music they
listen to, again maybe because they admire the artist and want to
behave like them. For example, if a person listens to pop they might be
generally quite happy and fun and lively, and someone who listens to
rap/hip-hop might tend to be more violent. Also, if songs contain bad
language then the people listening to it (especially if they are young)
might be more inclined to use this language.
