Music

Music is a huge influence in today's world. Everybody wants to hear it all the time and they love it. There is new music coming out all the time and that keeps the listeners attention. There are so many different types of genres, and different styles. I believe that each genre can produce a feeling. One song can mean specific things to one person but yet have an entirely different meaning to another. Some music can be up beat and put you in a better mood, or cheer you up every time you hear it. Then on the other hand some can do the opposite and make you break down and cry. If you think about it, the music is not exactly what makes you cry, it is the thoughts that the music or songs make you think of. There are some types of music that makes you feel sad and depressed, then others that make you happy, by reminding you of happy times. I think that music is a very strong influence in young people because they are the ones that are exploring different types of music and they are the ones exposed to the new music, more often than adults. They may find a song that they think fits their lifestyle and want to live by that song. That could be a positive thing or a negative one. If the song has a subliminal message in it telling them to kill themselves, then it is obviously a negative affect on the child. However there is music that can describe a life and end in a good way. Such as telling the listeners to hang in there, that everything will be alright. That is how strong I think that the music influences are in the world today. There is a lot of really meaningful music today about very serious issues that deal with the corrupt world. Music can also even be proscribed by some therapists and doctors for depression. There are certain uplifting genres that they can suggest that can relax you and help take things off your mind and slow down a racing mind.
