There have been many studies attempting to figure out just how music affects the human mind. For example, why do different people like different kinds of music, what parts of the brain are activated and if said parts are affected more or less by different kinds of music, and others.
Some of these questions have remained unanswered, and might stay that way for a while. One thing, however, ic does affect our daily lives.
Just look at the simple facts. Most people listen to music. If someone doesn’t, they’re sometimes viewed in a strange way. How could you not listen to music?
Music affects our emotions. When we listen to sad songs, we tend to feel a decline in mood. When we listen to happy songs, we feel happier. Upbeat songs with energetic riffs and fast-paced rhythms (such as those we hear at sporting events) tend to make us excited and pumped up.
There are also the memories songs, the ones you connect them to one specific memory or person.
Music is something that help us concentrate to study, work. It can also relax us.
No matter what people listen to, there seems to be a common consensus as to why they listen. It seems that genres that have a fast paced, upbeat, and catchy rhythm (like pop, rap, etc.) are attractive to those who do sports, or at least, those who are looking to get pumped up.
Rock also stands to achieve this goal. Most people agree that music just makes them happy. They can ‘get into a mood’ based of the style of the song they’re listening too. I must say that I agree.
With all of these effects that music sets on us in a daily bases, it starts to change the way that we act around people, the way we talk and express. A person that seems happy and open normally listens to music that excite herself, that reminds her of good things, normally rap, pop, mainstream music. But sometimes people seem weak and sad, these type of people, normally, are in a stage that listen to emo music or something that don`t makes them" feel alive".
Overall, here’s the final conclusion I could come up with; music is simply a force that cannot be explained. It messes with our heads, it makes us feel different emotions, sometimes even physically changes us. Music unites us. In my life some friendships established based off music, it is a thing that really connect us, make us feel similar. In the end, we know that music has a wide range of effects on us. It is a life changer...
