Music can be relaxing, motivational and inspirational. On the other hand music can also be disastrous to emotional, physical and mental health. Could this be associated with certain musical genre? How about the lyrics? This topic is an attempt to encourage intelligent perspective of different people group and age group. Can we hear your opinion?

Personally, I listen to music depending on the situation. If I am about to play a Water Polo game, I will listen to a song that will get me pumped up. I don't see music as disastrous in any aspect. People could argue that listening to sad music constantly would change your overall mood, but I see it as a way to express emotions, even if it's to oneself.

Some people say that certain kind of music agitates them increasing their blood pressures. In some cases, heavy metals music and the like can stimulate aggression and causes harm to the nervous system.

Hi Belle, thanks for posting in. I'm very sorry for this late reply post. Too much base negatively affects the heart though most most people deny it. I don not listen to music with too much and uncontrolled base on it.

I really think it depends on the person. For me lyrics are what get me most. I like a lot of music that sounds pretty heavy and a bit gothic but I don't ever feel bad when I listen to it. If I'm in a sad mood and I hear a sad song I'll get a little sadder, but if I'm not sad it really doesn't get to me. If I'm listening to Linkin Park I feel more energized. To me they are a high energy band. So I really think it depends on the person. If you are violent and you listen to violent music it could encourage that mood.

The lyrics are a powerful part of music for them can lead someone into action; it can cause someone to ponder; it can encourage or it can degrade. Well I do agree that if you are a violent kind of person, then you should not listen to violent kind of music and if you are depressed, you should not listen to music with a losers theme.

Personally I don't think that there is one type of music that is better than all the other types of music.I have a very eclectic music taste enjoying music from all different genres.I would bet I probably that I like at least one song from every music genre out there.Though there is probably some really obscure and specific music genre out there that I have never heard of that I won't like any of the music from.Though I have not found it yet.

Hi anlesmash, thanks for joining in and really adding color to this discussion. I like your attitude about music preferences. As one says, to other it is bad and to the other it is good.

Good music and great lyrics was created with many ideas,effort and skill.So we have to appreciated all kind of music.We can't judge that there is one kind of music is the best.All kind of music is best for people who like it.Maybe jazz and classic is best for you,but not for the others.I think it depends on people character and habit.Good choice for kind of music in any situations will give good effect for you.

Hi tedifa. thanks for dropping by and adding color to this discussion. Yes good music maybe are good when great effort, ideas and skill are spent on it specially on the lyrics. I believe that any music is meaningless without words that really make it realistic.

There is no such thing as music that makes you happy, music that makes you feel alright. Personally I love Rock (especially indie,alternative and britpop) buy I also really like Jazz, Tango and Classic music

hello champan, thanks for joining in. You have a wide variety of music choices. I would say that music can be a great way of expressing what you feel inside. If you are happy, the music you choose might represent that.

Hi urban, thanks for posting in and sharing your interest. I don't intentionally listen to jass and celtics but I think they are good music styles. I prefer country music, as for preference over jazz and celtics.

It is hard to say what kind of music is the best because it depends on the individual's mood as well as hobby. For me, when I miss my parents, I love to listen to songs related to Mother or Father and such. When I feel very happy, I would love to listen to fast songs. So different songs represent my mood. Thanks for the nice discussion.

These are the mellow type right? These kind of music are wonderful ones especially when their lyric is good. Good in a sense that it promotes moral excellencies, love for God and men.

I would assume that you are a calm type of person. There are those who find jazz and bossa as boring compared to rock and heavy metal music. I am not into rock and heavy metals, I prefer music with calm beats.

I like rock, rap and house from the 90s and early 2000s- I don't like Nicki Minaj and Justin Bieber type of music. I thin it's the crappiest music every.

Hi blackoutWorm, thanks for sharing you like and dislike of particular music genre. I guess you have a stronger type of personality that's why are fun of a rock kind of music. To others, they like the kind of music you dislike, so I guess the judgement on a particular music genre depends upon one's choice and personality.
