Music is something that every person has his or her own specific opinion about. Different
people have different taste, and various types of music have many ways of leaving an impact on
someone. It can be relaxing, angering, soothing, energizing, and many more.
There are so many types of music out there today. Rap, pop, rock, country, indie,
alternative, hardcore are some of the abundant types in the world. Music sends out either good or
bad messages that have a big impact on how people act. People usually become friends with
others who have the same taste in music as the rest of the people they hang out with. People may
not want to associate with people who have different tastes in music because they’ll argue about it.
Rap and Rock music are two very important types of music in the world. They both send out
different messages and help kids. The lyrics sung or rapped by the artists can be things going on in
their own personal lives. People with the same types of problems can listen to them so they know
there’s hope and there are similar people out there in the world.
Music can also serve as a catalyst for new ideas. When people listen to the new things out
there, they learn different things going on in the world and they become more open-minded.
People can use music to express themselves, in ways it can’t be expressed through
behaviour, or art. You can usually tell how someone’s feeling by the type of music he or she is
listening to at the time. It’s a tool used by many. Groups of people around the world can come
together and gather at concerts, shows, and venues to show what their interests and likes are.
I can personally relate to the effects that music has on its listeners and users because it’s a
big part of my life. Every day I listen to the words and sounds of different singers/bands with
contrasting ideas and opinions. The music I listen to makes me who I am.
