What is Music?




Music is sound produced by vocal or instrumental tones, whether it be organized or unorganized. Music is a type of art, passionate feeling, and important to a lot of people.


Many people are saying that some music is the reason for many of todays teenager's misbehavoirs. According to these people, rap and rock/heavy metal have become the biggest problem. They say-rap music should be the blame for many teen pregnancies, encourages young sexual activity, makes boys become "sex-driven studs", and makes some teenagers become threatening to other teenagers. They're also calling rock/heavy metal music "dangerous". Phsycologists say that teens who show a liking towards this genre of music usually get low grades and abuse substances. Teachers are also saying that music has a negative effect on their students grades.

People choose to do the things they do, by the things that interest them or that they have fun doing, which may, or may not go along with their music taste. However, people who share common interests may enjoy the same type music. Nevertheless, words in just a single song can have a very powerful influence. An artist can make a song very powerful and relate to a person's problem, this can can help them overcome an obstacle or become more optomistic about their situation. But I do not believe music makes teenagers do the things they do.

I agree, I do not think that the type of music that you listen too makes you act a certain way. You control your own actions and choose your own influences.

i think that music is an art and poeple choose to do what they do becasue of who they are or want . Music could have the slightest influence on someones actions but if your blind enough to do things becasue you hear them in a song ..... then there is something wrong.
