The Affect Music Has on Different Teens

(https://www.teenink.com/reviews/musicreviews/article/123483/How-Music-Affects-Teens)

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 big impacts on how people act. People
usually become friends with others who have a same taste in music as the rest of the
people they hang out with, or it can be vice versa. People may not want to associate

with people who have different tastes in music because they’ll argue about what
they think is better but it’s just their own opinions.

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, and people with the same types
of problems can listen to them so they know their hope and theirs people like this
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 because they’re exposed to different
people like the artist.

A lot of people come to the conclusion that rap music has a very big impact on the
world. Listening to the lyrics, they usually revolve around sex and drugs and those
are topics many parents don’t want their kids being involved in. Many of the music
videos made by rap artists in the world show these topics in them. Studies show that
people who are more into rap music do drugs one time in their lives.

People can use music to express themselves, in ways it can’t be expressed through
behavior, 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 likings are and you see how many people have similar liking
as you.

“Music expresses that which cannot be said and

on which it is impossible to be silent”
Victor Hugo
