My perspective on music and effects.


For over a surplus of years, an abundance of people have been wondering if music has an effect on people. I'm going to share my perspective on this subject. I believe that music has effects on us until a certain point. If i listen to a certain type of music, many times i will get into a certain type of mood due to the music's beat, rhythm, tempo, lyrics, and such. Therefore, that proves the fact that music does affect me ;However, sometimes i could be in an extremely obnoxious mood and might turn on my ipod but end up turning it off because no matter what music genre i listen to, i will still be in a bad mood. Also, let's say i decide to listen to rap. Most likely, my adrenaline will rise somewhat, and i will get a little pumped. That is an effect it has on me, yet the song might have lyrics that state extreme violence, or stealing, etc. That does not mean that i am going to go act violent or start stealing from people or anything. In summary, i think music has a limited effect on people.
