Since creating music is easier, is more quality content available?

1. How has the public opinion of music changed over the last thirty years?

   • Can public opinion be linked directly to the diversity of what's popular?
   • Because it's easier to find indie music, do more people listen to it than ever before?

2. Is it possible to give music a distinct numerical rating based on its virtues (i.e. melody)?

   • Should every part of a song be rated individually or should it be rated as a whole?

3. What factors influence someone's opinion of music?

   • Is someone's taste in music defined by what their friends/parents like?

4. What makes a song sound good?

   • Why are some songs remembered as classics while similar songs are forgotten?
   • What is the most important part of music production: Writing, practicing, performing, or mixing?
