  The music industry of 2018 has been a wild ride! The music was just as fantastic as the memories we will have from this year.

As the semester comes to a close, music tastes, class wide, will continue to change. Music will evolve to another universal plane. Sometimes, music is purely for entertainment, or a coping mechanism, and sometimes it can be used to open the mind up and help see the world in a different light or perspective. One thing is for sure though, music can only get better from here.
