Introduction

Nowadays, music is one of the most popular activities of humankind. There are lots of well-known and extremely appreciated singers who almost daily popularize their songs that become trendy and spread around the world.
Initially, a great number of people count that music is one of the greatest inventions of humans and it has been developing coextensively with humanity itself. It first arose about 50.000 years ago and faced many changes until now. So this is one of the common reasons music is spread around the world and has different genres and styles. A music genre is a conventional category that identifies some pieces of music as belonging to a shared tradition or set of conventions. ( Jim, 2012) There are a great number of genres which deserve to be mentioned, "Europop", "disco", "country", "folk", "pop rock", "rythm’n’blues" but the bigger part of the music experts divided them into three main bodies or how they call it "branches". These are "pop", "rock", and "rap". For instance, pop music is a genre of popular music that originated in its modern form during the mid-1950s in the United States and the United Kingdom. ( Frith, 2001) Moreover, one of the main facts about music that should be remarked here is that music genres are developed in every country differently, so that every country has its folk music and a history of erasing this style of songs.
Secondly, the terms "trend" and "trendy" had been appeared not a long time ago, literally yesterday. The interrelated dimensions of music are listed as pitch, duration, dynamics, tempo, timbre, texture, structure, and appropriate musical notations. ( Govuk, 2013) These terms can be used for most items around this new world. For instance, clothes or cars. But these terms are mostly utilized with music and its types. These terms are developed because of the popularization of the Internet or "WordwideNet". For now, many singers appear on the sets and TV screens. Music became one of the most valuable types of business in developed countries. The USA can be given as a great and pure example with the biggest auditory market of trendy and popular music. People all around the world know who is Michael Jackson or Eminem. For now, a great number of people forget about national music and traditions by going after trendy ones. Music is a powerful means of communication, by which people share emotions, intentions, and meanings, and our engagement with music, whether in a live concert, listening to a CD or via a streaming service, is driven by the medium's ability to convey and communicate emotion. (David,2018)
Conclusion
To sum up, although there are a great history and genres behind the music, today, they are being forgotten and displaced by modern or how what is called "trendy" music which causes and will be the reason for upcoming "headaches" for the next generation.
