Debate discussion

You know what I mean, does music really affect people badly? Do people take influence from it?

well, my guitar teacher told me that when she was about 6, her grandmother was blind, in a wheel chair, and had Alzheimer's disease and so her grandma thought that she was 6 years old and that her granddaughter, my guitar teacher, was her best friend when she was 6 years old but my guitar teacher didn't mind playing games with her grandma, but on one Christmas, they were all singing carols, and my guitar teacher looked at her grandma and said, "Hi Grandma" and her grandma said, "Hi Carol." and her grandma had never acknowledged her real name before but rather the name of the 6 year old friend so i thought that was cool.

i just generally think that music is powerful and amazing.

Nice story...

thank you.

i don't personally think music affects me... i mean, i like the song "bodies" (the chorus is something along the lines of 'let the bodies hit the floor'..... yeah...) and "getting away with murder", but neither song has ever made me want to kill anyone haha... actually, loud music sorta helps me blow off a bit of steam and calm down...

ok..wow...you and i have completely different taste in music...i think that the music thats all screams and about rape and murder is just absurd, and more than half of the rap out there i find perverted and sexist and racist but the other quarter or eighth or whatever i like.

oh, not rap, that i don't like. this is rock, and those are the only two songs i could think of that i know that have really violent tendencies, so i just used them as an example of how the lyrics don't really affect me. haha, otherwise i don't listen to stuff that violent-ish, haha, those songs are more like exceptions. anywayz. :\

Well music obviously has affects on large groups of people, sometimes entire generations. In my brothers school they're all so ghetto listening to T-pain and stuff. I hate rap. I like Hip hop. My dads a hiphop artist, an MC.

I like old school rock and old school hiphop a lot too. Tribe Called Quest KRS1. None of you know them so....

But i also like some new stuff like paramore and 3oh. I actually only like one song from them.

"And tell your boyfriend, if he says hes got beef, that im a vegetarian and i aint ****** scared of him!"

omgeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!! i've hav been playing classical all my life and its really annoying after the 7th year!!!!!!!!

well im not saying its bad but its not my fav...

but yeah... music affects lots of emotions and most of the time calms people down...:)

I think that music can inspire and effect your moods, but not majorly. I LOVE rock and alternative, hate rap. Do you guys like the killers, red hot chili peppers, or something?

i LOVE cake!!!! the band, not the food. although thats good too!!

ah! yesh, haha, i guess we do have some similarities in music taste haha, they're like my 3rd favorite group! and out of my about a million fav groups, that's pretty good.... haha, going the distance, luff that song... and stickshifts and safetybelts. but! even after lstening to it, i have no urge to cut the seat belts out of my family's car, so music doesn't effect meh :P

Um... guys? This is not a music type debate. It's how it affects people.

i love music

Make another topic then.

But monolith was so cool. Jeeves is cool too, though.

so wait whats your real name?

i use my real name... i like my name

Erm...

well I don't know if this matters much. But I know for a fact that the Army uses music to gets its soldiers hyped. I don't know the name of the song, its rap and I don't like rap, but it has something to do with percents. " 50% pain...10%skill...5%.." or something like that. Anyways, I think I was the only one, not singing along and not very motivated. In fact it gave me a headache.
I remember when I used to be on a swimteam I used to listen to Celine Dions "Power of the Dream" liek two times before meets to help me focus and encourage me. And yeah.... Oh and sometimes when I can't sleep I turn on church music, or night sounds, or classical. My room mate, when she used to live here, couldn't fall to sleep without her sound soother on....

"50% pain...10%skill...5%..:

Fort Minor?

Lauren - Maybe. I honestly have not the foggiest of ideas though, sorry. I don't listen to rap so i'm not to familiar with the diffrent songs and artists.
