If we try to consider music as goods or a product that is capitalized by an individual or by

group of people, for example a music recording company, we can therefore claim that the pop
music industry is playing an essential role and part of the globalization phenomenon. Since it goes
through a process of exchange with different countries, numerous foreign artists who produces
their products in the form of song compositions or an album like Bruno Mars, and Coldplay, they
market and sells music throughout the world in exchange of something in return other than fame
and praises – money.

*** We agree on the statement “In the developed world, audiences are seeking for amusement and
leisure; the pop music industry produces and packages pop music carefully in order to fulfill the
consumers’ requirements.” because the Pop music wide array of genres influences other genres of
a country. Taking the Philippines as an example, we are now using the rhythm and the beat styles
of some of the famous modern hip hop and well known international rappers such as Drake, J.
Cole, Wiz Khalifa and such. Going beyond musical influences of other countries, Filipinos are
also trying to adopt the style of performing music, an indication that Filipinos are trying to cope
with how other countries maximizes their talents in musical aspect and development in a wider
aspect. The group also agree to the statement “popular music industry affects the traditional music”
in a way that essence of each music being introduced each day is way different from the purpose
of making music before, aside from the styles, the performance and the quality, the traditional
music is becoming obsolete due to the trend of new ones. However, the purity and the rich culture
hidden behind each traditional music must remain in the industry to successfully produce new
ones. – A collaborative ideas and opinions of each members of the group.
