1.Technology, which has a profound effect on music. The highly crafted instruments of the pre-industrial age gave us instruments such as the recorder & the violin. Industrial metal working techniques gave us sophisticated brass instruments and improved the projection of instruments such as the piano. The electronic age gave us even greater volume and created a path for the age of recording. The digital age has enabled us to perform complex sound manipulation. The resulting music, to some degree, is a product of technology; for example, brass was introduced to the orchestra after the industrial revolution. The electic guitar and thus the typical band needs electricity. You can see where I'm going here.
2.Large scale human movement can also have a profound effect. Human migration, as well as trade and war, has moved both instruments and musical ideas around the world for centuries. These days, easy communication has a similar effect.
3.Social and economic factors can influence the type of music by defining who plays it and who pays for it.
Baroque music results from professional players playing to an educated elite. Folk music is non professionals playing to their peers.
The energy that drives musical changes can be seen as a matrix between technology, the movement of humans and ideas, and socio-economic factors.
Think of any band, composer and musical style, and consider it in the context of this matrix. This theory does not predict or explain the specifics, but it does set out why the changes were possible... ...
good luck

I would think changes in modern music affect society, more than the other way around. Changes in society such as the speaches and murder of Martin Luther King, or The Kent State Shootings, created a mass amount of music and musical change from the love, and, psychadellic, into protest songs, and lamented ballads. The sexual revolution was also a cause of the Disco Meet Markets and the music created for them. The drug culture also created it's own niche's of musical genre's, Acid Rock, Synth Music, Heavy Metal, etc...
Music affecting society though is due to the music changing the youth who listen to it. The youth grow up and inherit the world. What their musical and lyrical influences are can then change how they react and the result can be a mass change in society.

Changes in society affect music in the way that people want to bring to the attention of their fans the fact that there is a problem with society that really inflicts anger within that particular band/group.You have politically-based music, religious, antisocial, etc... They revolve around a specific purpose, and it's under your favorite genre of music where you will find that which motivates you to think and keep listening.

changes in society, changes the lifestyle and thoughts of the poeple living in it, thus it affects the lyrics the melody of a song.
Composers is being inspired by things happening in their life to b able to come up with a song, and then there, that is how changes in society affects music.

music is totally a entertainment element, i do no longer think of it heavily impacts how human beings behave in society. it incredibly is like 'ghetto, gangster' rap songs are no longer the basis of gang crime. (it incredibly is in simple terms music which sounds exceedingly suckish lol). One result i think of music does have on society is tendencies, it enables create tendencies among the greater youthful technology, youngsters particularly. i pass to verify with one among my favorite albums by using my favorite band, Nevermind by using Nirvana. whilst that replaced into released in 1991, 70% of youngsters became punk and all started embracing the 'grunge' look.... whether a super type of those followers have been posers, that's my element incredibly. music leads to tendencies being made, that folk being like sheep, are prepared to maintain on with.
