The effect of music on teenagers. - General

I've mixed some information that I found from different websites. [url]http://www.socyberty.com/Psychology/Music-How-Does-It-Affect-People.831591[/url] I'd like it if this thread could keep going by you guys sharing what music means to you. For me, I guess it's what motivates, and I like the beat, it keeps me singing a song all day long.

It pleases my ears.

It can pretty much dictate my mood.

Music is probably the first or second most important aspect of my identity. Not just listening to music but creating music(I play an instrument). BTW. Stupid article. I thought it would be interesting but it sucked.

All this seems to do is describe a few genres of music and not describe any of the "effects" it has on teenagers. The thread title confused me :downs: Also, I sing and smile to my music :buddy:

Yea, it kind of did I guess. I wasn't too happy about it either, that is why I posted it, hoping I could get some pointers :D?

[QUOTE=AhAndy;15754292]Yea, it kind of did I guess. I wasn't too happy about it either, that is why I posted it, hoping I could get some pointers :D?[/QUOTE] Wait, did you write it?

Yes I did, at first I thought it was kind of nice. Then I read some articles about the effect of music from other writers, and found them to be extraordinary. So yea, mine sucks.

I updated it. I am waiting for it to be edited on the blog, will post back when it is.

Yea I ended up deleting it.

It was sort of stupid how you lumped all of music into 5 or 6 categories.

Effects of music on teenagers: Chavs listen to rave, therefore rave makes you a chav. Emos listen to My Chemical Romance, therefore My Chemical Romance makes you an emo. Goths listen to cradle of filth, therefore cradle of filth makes you a goth. I listen to folk, alternative rock and ska, therefore they make you awesome in every way. Logic.

Is that sarcasm

Marilyn Manson makes me want to shoot people. [editline]08:00PM[/editline] it's that bad

I thought that was the whole reasoning behind music (just like it is in films) to make you feel a specific emotion/s

Music doesn't dictate my mood, however I do tend to listen to specific songs when I'm in a certain mood, but since I'm in a normal mood most of the time, I just listen to whatever I feel like.

Music inspires me to make music.

Heavy metal (if you want to get specific, then thrash metal and death metal) helps me modulate myself. It helps me think clearly and productively. It puts me into a deeper state of mind. Where most people only hear noise and guttural brutality, I hear beauty and wonder; I hear melodies within harmonies and harmonies within melodies. I hear technical work that can only be achieved by a master, yet played so subtly in some cases that if you don't search for it you don't find it. Metal is an enigma that you can't unravel. A puzzle you can't solve. A game you can't win. And I absolutely love it. It's nothing like pop, radio, or mainstream, that gives you four minutes of satisfaction and then you're done with the song. It brings you back to it time and time again. Every time you hear it a little different, you hear something new, or you find a single minute detail that suddenly shifts the paradigms of which you viewed the song with previously. Suddenly the music has a whole new meaning, the lyrics paint a different picture, and the very structural integrity of the song begins to phase and undergo a state of metamorphic change. It becomes a different song every single time you listen to it. Plus it's great music to kill zombies to.

Music is the most important thing in my life, I listen to everything from pop, black metal, to noise. The reason I love music, is because I enjoy playing music. No matter whether I'm playing something technical, or something really free and improvised. Music, regardless of the genre just calms me. Even harsh noise calms me down.

It can chill me out when I need it, It actually makes me a little more happy than most

To me music isn't just music, it's more of a way of life, though I hate to phrase it like that. I tend to connect a lot better to people with the same taste in music as myself than other people, though I do have friends who'd never listen to a couple of the bands I listen to.

My life revolves around music. Music can definitely dictate my mood. For me, Hardcore puts me in a state of comfort, a state of something I'm used to. I'm used to hard ships. I'm used to being pissed off at everything. I'm used to wanting to punch everyone and everything. So for me, Hardcore is a fall-back zone, a comfort zone, a safety zone, persay. Hardcore defines me. I'm not saying I'm some "br00tal xtuffguyx" But hardcore embodies me. It embodies my tempo, my rhythm, my speed in life. I used to be really aggressive and I would listen to alot of grindcore/power violence/Hardcore punk, but now I've mellowed out (in the sense of how I handle things) a tad and taken a more metal approach to hardcore, defining my life as what I call a hardened, weathered stance on life. I used to be more open minded, but my mind has molded and shaped like metal, I'm no longer accepting other people's ideals and no longer tolerant of what I deem foolishness. I put off a very asshole-ish vibe because I'm rigid, and I keep my form, just like metal. I used rap as a way to make myself less ignorant, I'm no longer tolerant of racists. Whenever some one says something racist towards any race, I become violent. I'm just a very violent person. I grew up in a violent neighborhood, a violent home and a father who was used to violence. Not all hardcore is about violence, but most is. I'm also a very logical person, and alot of hardcore is about wanting to change the world, and I know that won't happen. I can't stand to listen to people who want everything to be perfect, or who want the world to hold hands. I know it'll never happen. My internet A.D.D kicked in, so yes, music defines me. I'm sure in the upcoming years I'll still listen to hardcore but I'll listen to more mellow music.
