How Important is Music to you?

To a lot of teens, music is such a huge part of everyday life. Many teens have air pods, headphones, or other devices that they use to listen to music throughout their day. Everybody has a different music taste and an individual's music taste often changes based on their mood. For example, if you are doing homework, you might want to listen to gentle, instrumental music to calm you down. But if you are doing some kind of physical activity, you might listen to rapid-paced, upbeat music to pump you up. Music can really change the entire mood of an atmosphere.

Music is more important today than ever. Musical artists can express their ideas in a creative way that brings joy to other peoples' day. In the process, they are spreading a thoughtful message through song. Personally, I love music and often listen to it in my downtime, especially on a long and boring bus ride. 

Overall, music can make a big impact on people and can represent the emotions they are currently feeling. Imagine life without music. A party… with no music? That sounds horrible! So how big of an impact does music have on your life? What kind of music are you into right now?
