Does music affect the people you hang around?

Answer 1

people are influenced by the music they listen to for a few reasons. for starters let's say people are influenced based on their own beliefs,attitudes, and overall personality. for example.. some people like rock, some like ' screamo', some like rap etc. although the songs can all be related to a certain meaning ( love, loss, life, hardships, etc.) the way the music is presented to the listener, and the way that the music aligns it's self to the listeners particular personality, are what influence that person to relate to the style of music they listen to. music also has another powerful attribute that hits the listeners in way that makes them want the music they listen to for many emotional reasons. for example... a person will listen to let's say.. RAP, and the emotion that rap brings to them is a feeling of rebellion, a feeling of power, and other emotions that they lack and want to feel in themselves. or the emotions that they have and relate to. overall music as my understanding, thought, and opinion.. is about the emotions that it makes people feel. the stronger the emotions, and the more emotions a song/artist can bring out in it's listeners, the more affective and influential the music in its self becomes. which in turn, can start to grasp a larger audience. chris smith,

This depends on the person.

Often people say that those who listen metal get an attitude, or those that listen to pop get very soft, this is not true.

For most it just makes them feel more relaxed or energized thus making their actions more relaxed or energetic .

Of course there are those who get influenced by music in different ways such as a attitude, moreaggressive, or more kind.

But this is different for everyone, most of the answers like "they get a attitude" are not true.

Answer 3

If you listen to Classical Music, which is very calm, you may find that you are calmer. I did an experiment for a science fair in high school with 30 children/teens with ADHD (it runs in my family). 10 listened to Rock Music, 10 listened to classical/blues music, and 10 listened to no music for 1 month. The 10 that listened to rock music tended to show all of the signs of ADHD in all of its glory. The 10 that listened to classical/Blues Music were quieter, were not as hyper, and their symptoms were not as noticable. The 10 that listened to no music stayed the same, although 30% of them became slightly quieter. However, if you are asking if your choice of music reflects upon who you are, then I cannot say anything on the subject. I once knew a gothic bully that enjoyed listening to Mozart, Beethoven, and Vivaldi! I also knew quite a few girls in high school who dressed entirely in pink every day, but enjoyed listening to heavy metal rock! I myself, an ER nurse, who is the one who gives injections to sick patients, lollipops to crying children, and even once hugged a crying widow whose husband had passed away in the waiting room, enjoy listening to Green Day, Metallica, and Evanescence. So there is no connection whatsoever to who you are and the music you listen to.
