Internet, Music and Fashion

These days many fashion shops have place TV in the shop and plays the newest music clips, and the music they've been chosen are always matching the shop's style. Then I was thinking how would it be, if there's no music at all?
These days, music is not just something for entertaining or pleasure to listen. It leads the trend of the lifestyle and fashion. For example, Hip Hop and Rn'B. The representative stars for Hip Hop music, such as 50C and Eminem... They are so in hit, that many young people are following their dressing style, like baggy clothing.. Also those Rn'B stars like JLO and Beyonce, their sexy look lead the trend of revealing clothing, such as tight Jeans and tops with very less materials.
From these we can see that music is not just to listening, it creates a certain style and identity. And I realised how important is the internet as a medium to process these information. Like in the older days, when people just hear music from eg.cds,cassettes... There are limitations of what you could hear and get to know. Unlike now, its digital music world, you can listen all sorts of music from the net. These made the singers worldwide, and since these stars represents a certain style or identity, the fans has adopted it so fast, and leads to the today's fashion. Therefore, internet network is so powerful! Also the development of those Myspaces, and blogs... There are a group of people who share the newest music, pictures of new products... And on the other side, there are peoples who follows these... So the internet is like a space, where people make communications. Therefore, thesedays digital music plays a very important role in the youth culture also in the fashion industry.
