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 hangout 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 its 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 theirs 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 artists.

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 likings as you.

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 makes me who I am.

  1. Good article gan,
    I agree with what is in this article, music not only a lyrics music alone but also serves to optimize brain development in children, listening to music in the first 3 years will shape brain function that strongly support the learning process. It also can improve problem-solving skills, stimulate creative thinking, increase memory, increase motivation and ability to learn, activate both brain (left and right).
    So choose music according to your taste, to shape our personal character:)

  2. Well what can we imagine world without music? Everybody needs music to cheer them or even for work. Every people has their own musical tastes and that what makes people so different of being who they are. Even it can alter the listener's mood. For me music is like a magic. Thank you.

  3. I agree.
    Music surely reflected our personality. What kind of person we are can be seen from what kind of music we listen to. I think that music is not only just an entertainment anymore, it has become a essential part of our life. For me, music is a motivation. I like music that have good lyrics. Lyrics that contains motivation, or touching story will always capable of lifting my mood and giving spirit to keep moving on.

    I agree with this article. Music is so inherent in our lives. No day without music. Certainly music can affect our lives, depending on what kind of music we consume. Besides the entertainment, many other musical benefits. Benefits of music that not many of them are known to improve brain performance, can increase stamina during exercise, can help reduce stress, can be a therapy to accelerate recovery of the body, and many others. So, I think music is very important for life, especially teenagers who are still growing.

  5. I do agree with this article, I think music is very influential in people's life. music can be a place to pour the idea or simply as entertainment. in a case study, the music can also affect the feelings of his audience. so it is better if we listen to music that contains about motivation or vibrancy of life so that we can be motivated by the music.

  7. It's really nice article, I do love music too, almost everyday I listen to many kinds of music, usually what can make me comfortable. Sometimes I can like those music from the singer, genre, music instrument or lyrics. Those things will take effects to the listener sooner or later from their mindset, attitude, etc. And I remember that One wise man said "music can changes the world".
