Introduction to the Claim

For the past 20 years, music has had a big inspiration on how people feel and how it affects their daily lives. Music makes has such a heavy effect on our lives that it sometimes changes our lifestyles completely. Depending on what music genre you listen to, a specific genre determines how you act. For example, different genres caused different actions, like rap music, causing gang violence in the US, metal music supposedly causing people to join evil cults, or maybe punk rock influencing rebels and protestors to make a statement. Certain music helps the body and soul progress through their daily lives and help them become a better person in todays society. The point is that music is exceptionally influential in our lives, but what specific genre has had the biggest impact across the world. To be able to tell which genre has outperformed the others during this last decade we will have to look at the popularity across the internet, album sales across the world, billboard status. These factors are essential since most music is noticed by the internet and gains popularity around the world that quickly. Deducting certain genres right away to determine the best genre is needed as well. Country and Metal shall automatically be taken out of the equation since their not popular around the world just the United States(specifically the south for Country). The internet has had a big influence on my decision since that's how most songs even get popular nowadays.
