People and Their Music

Music, it has been around for many, many moons. Everyone has their own individual tastes. For me I most listen to alternative rock. It puts me in a peaceful mood (for the most part) and keeps me motivated. I am not too fond of modern pop or rap music, mostly, because, I find it reparative, crude, disturbing and it isn't very appealing. But that is beside the point. Music allows people to find their own escape in many different varieties.

Music sets peoples moods, changes their appearance and develops them as a person. Growing up in Seattle there are many different types of music people listen to. Here in St. George, mostly the people who grew up here, it seems like most people listen to country and shapes them into more of a cowboy or cowgirl kind of style. Looking back to growing up in a different place, a lot of people listen to various styles of rock. Alternative seems to be the favorite. Looking at the style in  the Seattle area people tend to have their own sense of style called the "hipster" look. Another thing that is very popular is dub-step, which also is a pretty hipsterish style. If you look into other genera's such as; rap, people sag their pants, wear baggy clothes and looks like they are trying to be a gangster.

When listening to music, peoples moods seem to shift. Party music, such as; dubstep, electronica, pop; makes people want to jump up and start dancing and acting crazy. Heavy metal, screamo and other various types of rock make people rude and angry. There are some hybrid music styles that can make people feel upset, joyful and excited. Alternative, country, pop can be hyperactive or mellow. Causing people to want to jump up or making people just want to sit down and relax. Test this by listening to different styles of music within a 10-15 minute period, selecting from songs from a variety of genera's.
