How does music infuence you(r life)?

Like the title says:
How does music influence you or your lifestyle?
Does the music you listen make you do things you normally wouldn't do.
Do you dress different because of the music you listen?
Do you play an instrument or do you sing (good!)?
How would you think your life would be without music?
Discuss, etc.

 

My life without music would be generally shit. I really can't do anything without music, i listen to it everyday. It's one of the few things that makes me really happy to be honest. I like to listen to my favourite songs over and over again, it keeps me in tip top shape! Lols.
But yeah, the music i listen to doesn't really influence my daily actions. xD.

 

music doesn't influence anyones daily actions (like when someone goes and kills someone etc. and people blame it on music etc.) unless they are already unstable or unbalanced and are so weak minded they have to listen to the music for decisions of there own life.

As for me I play keyboards and guitar and drums because I like the way they sound my goal is to learn as many instruments as I can and get really skilled with each.

Overall without music I would probably go insane with boredom at least 70-80% of my day consists of me listening to music.

 

(most things are answers to my original post)
I agree music kills boredom.
I listen to music every day (unless my mp3 player broke down for the millionth time, or I do not have access to a computer).
Actually, music infuences me, but not that much. I do play an instrument, the guitar, and I like to play it. A guitar is just a great way to express your feelings, and you musical talents. You can do so much with a guitar, from classic to the hardest death metal there is.
I do not dress myself diffrent because of the music I listen, but my schoolbag is written full of my favourite bands.
It's quite cool, becuase everybody has a plain schoolbag, or they have dumb texts on them, written by friends, and I have like all my favourite bands on them, including a self-drawed picture of the logo of The Offspring (the flaming skull).
I dislike emo kids because of my music, eventhough I listen post-hardcore (in my eyes, NOT emo!!).
I also go to concerts of my favourite bands with my friends, eventhough it was just 3, because almost no good (in my eyes) bands go to Holland.
I am quite lucky my friends listen to (almost) the same music I do. I do have friends who listen to completely different music, so I don't generelize my friends on their type of music.
It's just a big part of my life, and I can always enjoy music as long as I like it.
I hate pop, and like punk xD (and the music derived from punk).

 

100 percent false. Music has an insanely strong effect on the mind.

It's also a strong cultural thing which effects everyone personally.

Taking stereotypes out, each brand of music has it's own crowd of followers. Music is the leader, the crowd are the followers.

Style, sometimes the way you act, and your mental health can sometimes fluctuate depending on the music you listen to.

I generally listen to chill genres of music and it comes out in my everyday life.

If I felt I wanted to follow the emo sub culture, chances are I'd be listening to lame music and possibly cutting myself.

People choose music like that choose what kind of food they want to eat. It has a complete and total effect on one's life.

Sadly, your opinion doesn't count when it comes to emo and post-hardcore being synonymous. Take the time to listen to the melancholy and melodramatic lyrics, lame choice of power chords, lack of musical talent, and low quality voice of the singer.

 

So what you're saying is bands such as cannibal corpse all the people that listen to them must be murderers etc. or everyone that listens to bands like demon hunter must be religious, or people who listen to eminem must be gangsters?

overall I would say you are foolish if you believe this and weak minded. I listen to a little bit of everything excluding rap etc. but that doesn't mean I am a mass murderer etc.

 

I listen everyday to music (rock ).
I can't live without music
I can't sleep without music.
I can't eat without music.
So music is really important to me

 

Makes the day go by faster. (not a good thing sometimes)

Also a great thing to pump me up when I need it.

 

How does music infuence you or your lifestyle? I am always listening to music, so it has a large impact I guess.
Does the music you listen make you do things you normally wouldn't do. If you mean jump around and go crazy dancing to it then yes.
Do you dress different because of the music you listen? Umm I wear a band T-shirt about once every 3 or 4 monhts, does that count? I don't want to ruin the shirt by over wearing it lol.
Do you play an instrument or do you sing (good!)? I sing well, and I play many instruments: Most saxophones (Soprano, Alto, Tenor, and Bari), Piano, and Baritone/Euphonium.
How would you think your life would be without music? Umm my life revolves around band, marching band, etc, and I don't think I could live without it at this point, I love it too much.

 

Music keeps me somewhat sane.

 

It entertains me. Mainly when I'm about to fall asleep.

Well , i'm always surrounded by music , since i like real life arts ... However i listen to trance , house and stuff , that does nto lead to aggression and so on ... I couldn't sit by pc without listening to nice smooth trance ...

 

How does music influence you or your lifestyle?
I really don't think it influence my life.

Does the music you listen make you do things you normally wouldn't do?
If I'm doing something, music normally helps me to concentrate, or if I'm running, it normally helps me to push myself even more.

Do you dress different because of the music you listen?
Not at all.

Do you play an instrument or do you sing (good!)?
Used to be available to play the piano :$ .

How would you think your life would be without music?
Pretty damn boring.

 

Ive started playign drums, bc my idol did.
But now, im almost pro at it

 

Music IS my life. I feel without music, the world, would honesty be, black and white.
Music is harmless. Like Bob Marley sang about, "One good thing about music, when it hits, you feel no pain."
Music is soothing and good for the soul. No matter the genre, I've fallen asleep to Trance, Techno, Screamo, Death Metal, Soft Rock etc. It doesn't matter what kind of music. It's all amazing.

 

How does music influence you or your lifestyle?: gets me through work and school, pumps me up, mellows me out, basically helps me through the day
Does the music you listen make you do things you normally wouldn't do: it can help change my attitude, but not really make me do different things
Do you dress different because of the music you listen?: i wear band shirts, does that count?
Do you play an instrument or do you sing (good!)?: I play guitar and think of myself as a decent singer
How would you think your life would be without music?: bland

 

For one music gives you to look forward to (New hits, albums, etc.) something to carry on about. For those like me who listen to the lyrics they help you understand life. It helps me think of the future, what I want to be, its just a time where you can sit, law, relax in general, and be in your own world, of thought.
Life without music, is shit.

 

Right on!
