why time signatures matter in music

498 viewsOther

I do not understand time signatures and can not find videos that explain why they matter.

How is 3/4 and 6/8 different and would a song sound different if a 6/8 song was played in 3/4?
Why not just write every song in common time and move the measure line?

When you see music written composed by people without a musical education, you see that it doesn’t really matter. The example I am thinking of in Pantera’s Walk (I think). The song is incredible and works really well, but if you transcribe it, it is a mess of literally dozens of time changes.
