Music, what is it? Music is the structured arrangement of instrumental sounds and vocals to create a mixture of noise that appeals to the brain, otherwise known as a song. These things called songs can be very powerful in ways. Music has been a form of entertainment since the age of humans. Every culture has their own diverse variety of genres. Music has played a very large role in my life ever since I was young. My dad introduced me to all kinds of legendary bands which got my whole interest in music started. My dad is a huge music nerd, so he has been teaching me all sorts of things about music and artists over the years. Sixth grade was really the year I started to develop my own taste in music. I didn't really know how to find the artists I liked so I spent most of my time watching music videos. Those music videos are what really sparked my interest in the rap scene. My music taste has been all over the place in the past years but it is never bland. I always listen to a wide variety and have multiple playlists for various occasions and moods. Music is one of my go to coping methods, there is always something available. I listen to music to work through my problems, to hear and feel through sound that what I'm going through, I'm not doing it alone. Whenever I'm struggling, I know I can always find comfort in my songs. Music is a great strategy to help cope rather than turning to self destructive methods. Music is also a great way to bond, communicate, and find a sense of belonging. Music can develop great communities based on different genres or artists. My best friend and I started our whole relationship based solely because we both liked Lil Peep, and $uicideBoy$, we ended up having way more music taste in common and just kind of went from there. Making music is also a great passtime. I recently downloaded a software that allows you to create beats virtually called FLstudio. It allows you to create your own creative sound, or re-create the sounds of other artists. You have complete control of the sounds. Hewitt L

I can relate to having differing taste depending on what mood i'm in, I love to listen to music while I play games or do homework because it acts as background noise which helps me focus.

Music really helps me too! I'm listening to music right now to help me focus on reading. My dad is not much of a music nerd, and just listens to whatever is current. Sometimes I'll hear him listening to a song that was trending a couple months ago and just be disappointed in him.

I can really relate to what you said, personally I can see the development of my character. It’s kind of weird to listen to the old playlists from the 5th class when I was way younger. Well I guess I will still like my favorite music from today. For me music is also there to solve problems or also to turn off your head and to have a clear mind.

Especially now that I got to know so many people from all over the world I can only agree with you, that music does connect and that it is a great way to communicate.

I agree that music can be such an amazing coping mechanism, it can transport us wherever we want to be and become an escape physically, or just from negative thoughts. I like what you said about becoming friends with people through music, the way it brings people together truly is awesome!

I think your connection to music is really relatable. It helps you when you're down and makes you feel even happier when you have a good day. Music can understand you always, even when nobody else can. Also music helps connecting people like you and your best friend. Thank you for sharing! Great blog!

i can relate to music being a coping mechanism. i have anxiety and use music to help me get through the day (especially when having to be around other people). music has always been a prime coping mechanism for me and i am so very grateful for it. I think its kinda funny to me because it seems to me we have a similar taste in music!
