Have you ever wondered why almost all people listen to music?
Have you ever wondered how music affects our daily lifes?
Music gives your brain what you need to think and feel at the same time.
Music, first of all, affects our emotions. When we listen to sad songs, we tend to feel sad. When we listen to happy songs, we feel happier. Upbeat songs with energetic riffs and fast-paced rhythms, make us excited and pumped up.
Some simple questions have been made to the students of Basehor-Linwood High School, asking them how music make us feel. The survey showed that usually teenagers listen to more music than adults. Many of them also listen to music about 5-6 hours per day. Only a small amount of people listen to less than an hour’s worth of music every day.
Music helps us study, work and concentrate as well. Pop music is the #1 choice of people's interestings. Also, a big amount of people listens to rock and rap. Pop music, literally stands for "popular".
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.). Many of them claim that music make them happy. They can ‘get into a mood’, based on the song and its style they are listening to.
Music also give us a feeling of unification. Fight songs, national anthems, product jingles, theme songs. All of them have a common thing. They trigger unified feelings and emotions to every body who listen to them.
Without music, life would be a mistake.
