Will your mood affect the music you listen to?

Hi angel, Actually it does. I generally listen to music that is in accordance with my mood. But sometimes when I am having some strong emotion, I listen to opposite kind of music in order to control it. For example, when I am elated, I try to keep my cool by listening to sad songs. When I am depressed I listen to positive music. I use music in modifying most of my emotions rather than boosting it. God bless you

I would have to agree with you. music really does affect my mood and my mood affects my choice of music as well. Wen I am sad, I tend to get more sad by listening to ballad music and sad love songs which is kind of weird. I know the right attitude should be to listen to lively songs to get rid of the sadness, but I am really a very emotional person so I would rather celebrate my being sad by listening to sad songs. It's more therapeutic for me. When I am happy, I also tend to listen to upbeat songs and even songs that I would unlikely listen to. :D

I think that most do choose tunes that reflect what we are feeling. After all, as usual, when two pals are about to choose some music, does one not often hear the other ask "What do you 'feel like' listening too? Happy mood usually prompts me to listen to a variety of my favorites, Enya especially. A sad mood may have me listening to something like Pale Sun Crescent Moon by Cowboy Junkies. When I am missing someone I usually listen to a variety of my favorites. Like yourself, when I am angry, I will crank on rock n roll, such as Black Sabbath or The Cult.

Yes of course, every kind of music have affect or influence for listener. When i am listening rock music in the nigth, maybe its not enjoy to heard that. Some music can make me spirit, enjoy the life, and romantic but some music can make me angry, bored and many more...

My mood never affect the music i listen too. Its the opposite. The music i listen, it can affect my mood, because im a very sensitive person. When im in a good mood, and then i listen to a broken heart song, the lyrics will affect my mood, and it can make me feel sad and remember to all bad memories i had. Huhuhu.. thats why now i only listen to upbeat song or instrumental music, to keep my mood in good.

My mood does influence the music I listen too. But sometimes the music I listen to affects my mood too! For example, this morning I was in a bit of a bad mood and I started to listen to some really happy upbeat music and after a few minutes I felt much happier and better. Music is a great thing to have when your feeling down or mad because it can boost your mood in just a couple minutes!

If I'm sad , I don't listen to music at all. I'm in too much pain. When I'm happy I play rock or country. When I'm feeling romantic , I listen to soft rock and pop love songs. when I'm angry I Rock the Metal, the heavier the better.

Yes it does. If I am a bit sad I try and listen to some upbeat music. Sometimes it helps to lift my mood.I don't really listen to music when angry.

I believe that thet the mood we are in as to have an overwhelming effect on our choice in music. If we are saddened, we tend to lisyen to more somber music. if we are happy, we listen to a livelier beat. The heart goes trough many emotions. Our musical choices set the tempo for us.

I think I am your type in listening to music..My mood really depends on the genre and tempo of the music I like to hear..I have a collection of playlist acoording to my mood..Its really fun yaar...

I never really thought about this, but the more that I do, that actually does happen. Different moods do lead to different types of music. I guess the fact that I enjoy certain types of music depending on where I am in the day would account for this. It is not something that I do on purpose but it has been occurring very often. I switch up the music very often. I cannot think of any examples off hand but there are different types of music that account for different moods that I am in. Especially when I do different tasks like school, work, or casual, that affects my mood and thus affects my music.

yes, I feel same. I love the songs based on my Mood. I listen music of my mood and fell better but if I am sad, sad songs deepen my feelings, So I avoid listening sad songs in same mood.

I guess not because I just usually love to hear love songs even if I'm not in love. I love hearing sentimental songs not because I am sad or I want to reminisce something. It's just my type of music, music with emotions.

Indeed. I favour slow, melodious music when I come home after a long journey. It relaxes my mind. Similarly, fast beats when I am getting up in the morning.

music really affects our mood i agree on that. i learned that supermarkets use music for there customers so that they will spend more time choosing what thing to bought and even malls. i guess it is really true that music had a great play in affecting in our mood each time we hear them.

yes my music depends on my mood..when i am sad i listen to slow songs or old ones ....when i am in a gud mood i listen to rock music !!! the type of music that we listen quite describes the behaviour that we r in at that moment or our personality

I usually only listen to easy listening, lite rock, or sometimes country. My current mood has nothing to do with it. I only listen to music when i feel compelled to not very often. SO its about my mood because I'll listen to the same thing when I feel like listening to music.

I can simply say YES, IT EFFECT A LOT

if i am in a good mood i will take a pop music to maintain my mood, when it goes onto bad mood i will chose rock music so i wouldn't take my mood get worst

I'm just like you. The genre of music I listen to depends on how I'm feeling at that specific time. When I'm excited and in a good mood rock is my music of choice. When I'm upset I go for the more mellow, light pop music.
