Music is something that everyone can understand and enjoy regardless of literal barriers keeping the scene apart. Different artists such as Jay Park or J Cole have similar produced music and both have music within the same genre but are surrounded by different languages and cultures. Kpop artists, khiphop artists and american artists aren’t that much different at all music wise, both can be appreciated by the hard work they all put into their art. The meanings behind the music is what ties everything together between the different genres, languages, cultures, and artists. Everything has meaning but bringing what they’ve been through into the music such as artists like Phora, J Cole,  AGUST D, and Rapmonster all telling what has happened through their music. For example in Rap monsters “Joke” he’s talking about the fact that idols in that genre of music are defined because of what they produce. In AGUST D’s music he talks about his mental struggles with depression, self love and confidence. The only difference between the two categories are the languages, everyone can relate and feel what all artists in this industry are saying…just have to choose whether or not to accept them despite the barriers.
