All around the world, music is an argument. From old classics to edm trance songs, music is used as a way to express one’s inner self and the music you listen to can say a lot about you and your interests. Music is used to express different emotions and thoughts. It is used to get in touch to people’s inner selves. And the best thing about music is that it can be used in so many different ways. It can be used to reflect on one’s self, actions, and life. Or it can be a way to shut out the world and get lost in the music. Personally, I like the second option better. After a long day, it’s nice to just lay down on my bed, music blaring, and forget about the world. At the same time, music is a way to connect to others. People connect over their favorite bands or types of music, and going to concerts with friends is great way to spend time together. There are many blogs and sites dedicated to fandoms celebrating and connecting over their shared interests.
The type of music you listen to is an argument. It is the way you chose to view the world. The music you listen to plays on your emotions in a way that’s different than to someone else. That is the beauty of music. Anyone can have whatever view they want, nothing is right or wrong. Whether you chose to shut the world off or reflect on the world, music has a way of shaping your views. That’s why music is used in advertisements, movies, etc. Music is a way to hook people in. An ad showing a cool new product with upbeat music is far more effective at getting you to buy the product, than an ad filled with statistics and reviews about the product with boring or no music. Whatever music you chose to listen to, music always has the effect of leaving you with a feeling or putting you in a mood. For example, after listening to a song about a terrible breakup, you tend to feel sad, while after listening to a song about letting go and having a good time with friends, you tend to feel happy and excited, ready to go out and have a good time. Everyone has their own playlists of songs that can put you in a certain mood. Athletes have their perfect playlist that they listen to before a game, while a playlist of Adele songs is sure to put you in a completely different mood. The songs you listen to is a way for you to express yourself about the way you feel. At the same time, music has a way of pulling you in and effecting you in a way that changes your mood.
So, the next time you grab your headphones, think about what argument you’re making. What are you listening to?
