How is music different compared to now and 50 years ago

Over the years music has had some sort of a drastic change with sound, tempo and even how the songs are written themselves but if you compare music now from the music in the 90s you will see that music now is a little more lazier as with older music you had to actually take the time to write the music and all of the corresponding notes and then get a whole band to play the song. Whereas today you can set a beat on your phone with a ticking noise and sing to it.

What inspires someone to play an instrument
