MESSAGE MUSIC: A TYPE OF MUSIC WHERE A SONG IS MADE TO SEND OUT A IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO PEOPLE AROUND THEM OR AROUND THE WORLD.

Definition: A piece of music that is telling us something. Noun.

There is no computer definition.

I think message music is music that is trying to tell us something. I have heard subliminal messages in music before. The songs are called backmasking. The church clerics can get the artist of the song fined and sentenced to death or jail because they believe that the music is satanic. For example, there is one called 'Stairways to heaven' By Led Zepplin. If you play it backwards, it makes a satanic message. He was not fined.

I believe that message music is a way to express message through through. Its a way to kind of protest but you are doing it more peacefully so people woulds rather listen to it.

I think message music is a type of music that send a message to the listeners. Message is music has something to do with protest music but is also not the same meaning.

Fantazia do you mean that there is a similarity between protest music and message music? Cause John Millencamp's song is a protest song.

Message music is a recorded communication that tells people what you fell.

Message music is basically music that gives out a message. It is music that lets people know whats going on and whats the artists perspective to the situation. If its in music people would notice the artists perspective to a situation.

THE DEFINITION OF MESSAGE MUSIC IS: MUSIC THAT GIVES YOU A VIEW OF WHATS GOING ON IN THE WORLD. LIKE WHEN AN ARTIST SINGS A SONG LIKE "RUN AWAY LOVE " BY LUDACRIS FT. MARY J. THEY ARE SINGING ABOUT WHAT SOME KIDS ARE GOING THREW IN THERE DAY TO DAY LIFES. AND THAT TO ME IS WHAT I THINK MESSAGE MUSIC IS.

So Randy what you are saying is that there is no true meaning to some message song because they could be a hidden message in the message.

Randy thank you i think that meaning is from a dictonary it looks it can be more on point but no one nedded to know who gets fined or not

The difference between protest music and message music is that with protest music you are focusing in a specific problem like the Jena six problem. In message music you are giving a message or opinion to the listeners of the song like they are not protesting but they are telling you something an example of message music would be like a song to not do drugs.

I think message music is when people write or make a song with some sorta of message. The message could either be about the world or something else but it talks about something that the people could agree with. It tells or let's the people know something. Sometimes people around the world gets the message as well.

To me message music is when some one want said something and they said it by sing it.Then maybe there more people will listen to what that person have to said.

What i think message music is music that sends out a message. An examples the song about jenasix because it's music but gives a message. This message goes to other people or around the world and thats how it gets the message out.

My definition of message music is when an artist/singer or rapper makes or uses music to protest about something to take a stand about an situation or problem. To send out a message to artist's fans, so they could know what's going on.

I think message music is a way of getting your voice heard in a form of a song or rap. Message music informs
people about their surroundings and what's going on. The war in Iraq is one because many people write protest or message music about. I think that message music is the same as protest music.

What I is massage music is when you make a statement. I think that message music might be the opposite of protest music. Message music could be just words. Then Protest music could be like when you bad mouth something. Thats what I thinks the difference

A message in music getting a something important across in music.

Like the Jena 6 i heard a few songs that people made about it. People made video say you need to help the Jena 6 out.

I think message music is music that has a message that needs to be put out. Also I think that message music is music that people put their opinion in the music.

I think message music is basically a song or a poetry like song that sends an perspective/opinion of the artist on a social issue. Like the protest song on Jena Six by the guy we were studying. Through the song he voiced his opinion about the situation. By adding a little zing to the song his video was very graphic the images were kind of too surreal for me the images sort of scared me and one of my group member. That what message music is basically about.

I believe that message music is away to express your thought a message is music so that the everyone around the world will know about it.

I Think Massage Music is where people such as john mellencamp, The beastie boys and much more, try to send a massage across to people. what i mean by that is they use their career as an entainer to make sure people are aware of what's going on in the world like that jena six song he wrote so people would know what's going on in jena,lousiana.

1. group members ( me, shara)
