Music is who I am Gump (Forest)

Music. It is probably one of the most influential things of all time. This being said I have been greatly affected by it. This is because music represents who you are. Meaning you are attracted to music that goes along with what you are used to feeling. This is not only in lyrics however because the style and sound of the music you listen also shows your inner emotion. For example think of the stereotypes when you think of different types of music. For rap you might be thinking of gangsters while when you think of hard rock you think of Goth. While I know that not all of us are these type of people just because you listen to certain styles of music but you do hold some of the same basic interests. For me I listen to mostly rock and alternative. This shows that I have some of the same interests and feelings as Goth. For example rock music can be empowering but also when you start getting into the harder types it gets more angry. This allows me to let out some of my everyday problems through listening to my music. On the other hand when I listen to something softer and smoother I am filled with hope and resolve. So I chose the music I listen at a certain instant based on what I want to accomplish. So when I want to think I put on something smooth and calm like soft rock or even classical music. My favorite album for chess is a album of renaissance music. Before I started writing this I just put my MP3 player on shuffle so I could write about the different types of music as I listening to them. The song right now is actually pop which I would consider to be music that is meant to dance to.

Music can also change the person who you are. I grew up on classical music, my parents say that is why I so smart, show tunes, and smooth alternative. So when I started listening to pop then rock then hard rock it was a big change. I first did it out of pure rebellion of classical. But slowly it grew on me and I began to notice that, despite my parents opinion, it made me calmer. I now realize that I was, like I said before, able to take my problems out through the music. So I would have to say that music made me the person that I am today.
