Audio Galaxian

Although we've seen that Geek Boy has had relatively little exposure to the world of music, today we see that he is immersing himself very quickly in music culture.

It was only about three years ago that I started actively seeking and listening to music. Since then, I've gathered thousands of songs and become much more familiar with my tastes in music. Through the level of connectedness made possible by the internet, communities have formed solely from a common taste in music. Each of these communities has its own culture based around elements of their respective music styles. Some parts of the underground hiphop community believe in the power of lyrics to spread messages that seek to free people from the fetters of a society that grounds itself in false liberty. Some communities of audiophiles can't survive without music of absolutely pristine quality. Instrumental music communities share sheet music and use different instruments to make covers with radically new effects.

Since prehistoric times, music has been a form of communication. People can express their thoughts and feelings through the sound of music, and the language of music is one that evolves with the culture surrounding it. I hope someday to be able to create music and share my feelings with people around the world, too.
