sc Most people would agree that music is
integra l to everyone's lile. I believe mu-
SIC 1 the closes t thing to magic. Magic creates new places, atmo-
spheres, even li ves. Music for ome people i an escape out of the
world that they're so used to and into a new one. Ly ri cs are found
all over the internet as Facebook statu ses and tweets. People lis-
ten to music to get their minds oil of things and to express their
feelings when they can 't find the word s. Without art forms such as
mu ic, life would be a much different place. Thi s is why music is
so important. No matter what mood a person is in, there is a song
or genre that matches.

1 t own trends that make it memo-
Each decade, even year, has its

rable. What we wear now aflects the trends in the future. Just
think: high wai ted horts, ray bans, and button-up denim hirt
are things most of us have in our closets that our parents probably
had in theirs in the 80' . Almo t everyone has a pair ol Vans. Your
favorite shirt now might be your kid's favorite shirt when they are
in high school. When you think about a year or a decade, the fir t
thing that pops into your head is the clothes that people wore.
You think about the 90's, you think about bandana tops, thick
stripped shirt , and chunky 3 inch flip-flop . The trends now are
more important than ju t clothe that people wear. Each ocial
group has their own trends and types ol clothes they wear. Hip-
sters, for example, wear things that "status quo" abiding people
wouldn't be caught dead in . Every new trend i weird. What make
something a trend is all based on the amount of people that want
to be different and follow that trend. Each eason brings out dif-
ferent trends!
w Possibly the biggest and Idlest fashion trend
