We all know what music is. There's a lot of musical genre, there's a lot of artist, various kinds of bands, solo acts and groups. From the cheesy pop to rap to metal. Music has some kind of influence in our life.
I grow up listening to music.I turn on the radio or hi-fi put on some music and make sure it repeats.The slow and calming ones makes me sleep. The heavy and fast ones like dance or dubstep makes me energetic and full of fire.Before i go to the gym for my workout, i'll listen to skrillex,tiesto and sean paul.When i'm in the office, i will turn on the radio and listen to latest hits nowadays.
I am ecclectic. I listen to many types of music. Rap, hip hop, dance,pop rock,slow rock, heavy metal techno,dubstep,pop,orchestra,epic sounds (like the ones you hear as background music in movies, sample artist is "Two Steps from Hell").I listen to artist such as Metallica, Celine Dion, Eminem. Depending on my mood of course.
So what does music means to you? What type do you listen to?In what sort of way has music influence your life?

I love music its my life.
I relate songs to things going on in my life, i know some people just like the rythem and beat, but i always listen to the lyrics. They are what hits me when i listen to songs.
I have so many songs that remind me of diffrent times in my life.
I like pop, country and song rock

Hello elguardian
I, too, like the musics and consider myself to be eccletic in my musical tastes.
I tend to listen to music to suit my moods. Sometimes I need something soothing to help me relax, and I may listen to the classics. Other times, still wanting something somewhat soothing, I will listen to the jazz.
When I am preparing for some aspects of my vocation, I will often listen to the rock and the roll, especially groups like Metallica, Rage Against the Machine, Bush, etc. Then there is classic rock as well. While I tend to listen to a lot of classic rock, I also like Rock from the 1990's.
About the only style of music I don't appreciate so much is Polka music. I find it all the more ironic that I have now moved to an area that is seemingly saturated with Polka music. Perhaps I will learn to appreciate this music as well. And yodeling.

Ahhh i found a friend in musical sense. Welcome aboard. It takes time to understand and learn about things that we have not like, but give yourself time to love Polka. You might end up producing and become an international Polka artist.

You are very encouraging, elguardian. I would love to see the looks on my friends' faces if I were to become an international Polka artist as well as an international man of mystery. I noticed that there is an accordian player just down the street from me. I am thinking of seeing if he might teach me this instrument. I would like to make the blending of the polka music with the bagpipes.

yeah music is infact very much important for all of us as it is like a stress buster that gets u relieved from most of the burdens and tensions.
I mostly listen to fast tracks as it gets me into dancing. Music has always lifted up my spirits in my life.

Well, i like country music more better than other kinds of music. I know most of my friends don't like this kind of music. I have to say that music is very important part in our life. When i listen to the music, i feel peaceful, it's a feeling which you can hardly not find it in the real life.

I love music with all my heart, especilly since I am a dancer I need to be able to understand music well. I need to have it practically flowing from my veins. Listening to my music is the best way to understand the type of person I am. It's also one of my other various ways that helps me escape the world. It relaxes me, soothes me, helps me study, clears my mind. Music is wonderful

Hahaha yes, one of the reason i like music is because i love to shake it. But i do it privately. I dont look sexy when dancing. I love to watch movies like Step Up 1 2 and 3. Seeing all the dance moves and how they choreograph it with the music that is on play. I wish i have the body of Channing Tatum so would shake it shamelessly even when i'm walking in the street.

music means a lot to me, it makes me energetic,calm down, and happy, some music makes me inspired sometimes. When I'm mad, sad and feel like crying, I listen to heavy rock musics and it work like magic for me cause it either make me sleep (yes make me sleep),or forget im mad and sad. When Im bored I listen to dance music from, LMFAO, JLO, Rihanna, David guetta, tiesto,etc. then when i feel like singing i listen to RnB and love songs, in short music does help me a lot with my moods. It's like a healer to me, it makes me feel better.
