How music has a huge effect on teen's lives

        I believe too many teen’s take the type of music and lyrical content too seriously. Many think that the way their favorite artists live by is the way to go. Believing that one day they too could have the same type of life. But what they don’t notice is that this could lead to some terrible choices and even sometimes dangerous situations.

        There are many people who stereotype others for the lyrical content and type of music. Many think that someone who listens to metal or hard rock is a troublesome kid with issues and a lack of caring. People, who listen to rap or hip hop, are believed to be bad kids or do drugs. Country people think the listener is to be redneck or “white trash”. These are just few of the stereotypes used to classify teens, just because of the music they enjoy.

        But music can also have a huge positive effect on a teen’s life. Music has an extraordinary effect on people’s emotion. It can make them feel happy, sad, relaxed, angered, soothed, or even energetic. I really do believe not just teens but everyone in general needs a musical outlet in life. It’s always there when you need it, it helps you with you biggest problems, it can never fail you, and even for some, helps them survive.

        In conclusion, I believe music is the most dominant force for not just teen’s lives but everyone’s life. Even though many may stereotype teens for the music you listen to and the things teens like, it can be used as a gateway out of this place to another world where you can be left to explore your imagination with freedom from discrimination.
