Postmodern Music and Digital Media

The present article deals with confluence of postmodern music-its musical genre and condition- with digital media. The author takes note of the features of postmodern music, which like electronic media, combines multi styling and blending genres for its purpose, and stands against dependence, mass consumption and popular culture of music. The capacities of digital media and their ability to manifest individual identity as members of particular micro-cultures would challenge popular music industry.The author believes that Totalism in music, through digital media, brings about four remarkable outcomes: 1- It creates meaning and structure of music within listeners. 2- Music autonomy as a consumer commodity will be confined. 3- It makes development of micro cultures possible. 4- It revives creativity and reflection in music. The results above confirm the theory that postmodern music challenges popular music of a capitalist community in a different way.
