How music affects listeners mental health (metal, rock, Queen, bling)

delusional_delirium · 01-20-2006, 09:35 AM

I totally forgot the address on the site! So I have finally found it again, and read all your posts over. Thanks so much, guys! Your opinions are gonna help me big time, gotta get those A's for Uni!! Test's on Monday afternoon! =)

I dunno why, but I expected to see that people who didnt listen to rock, slag it off... I was quite amazed - which is good I guess. All these silly chavs and rudies about these days - should listen to some actualy music where they play their own instruments, eh!

Anywayz, thanks again! x

Music affects me a bit. When I'm in an angry or sad mood the music sometimes amplifies it so i'm feeling it more. And I always daydream to my music, that's always fun. ^_^

If anything music has made me happier and more laid back as a person. When I'm down, I listen to some good music and maybe even sing along to it.

Well, I listen to a range of music...when I listen to something heavier I always feel the music grabbing me and making me heavier. If something has pissed me off like I just had a fight with someone then I put some heavy music on and I can scream and throw **** around my room and just skitz in general. But I think music has alot to do with people's mental health...listen to soothing music? One's mind hall be clear of all torment...Listen to loud, heavy music? One shall have demons in their mind, hearing voices and wanting to seek a way to get out of hell....

yea that pretty sums it up for me..
i listen to some different types of music.. bands depending on my mood.. but sometimes i try to force a mood.. like makin myself listen to something i know i'll sing to.. thus me liking my voice.. feeling good about myself.. ups the happy points.. and just keep listening till i'm in a good mood.. but ya...

well i listen to a lot of metal.. and i don't dress any differently.. i dont act any differently.. you don't see me wearing all black and chains and black lipstick and i certainly don't do drugs..

i think its dumb when people say music affects someone.. it only affects the people who are screwed up in the mind to begin with..

Ok So Here's some brutal honesty from me. I Listen To loads of really depressing music and most of the time I am a pretty miserable person. I listen to miserable music and It makes me feel better-understood. But im sure in the long term its not helping, possibly even causing me to feel that way. If you sorround youself with something it pretty soon becomes all you know. For me the time In my life when I started feeling depressed was exactly the same time I started listening to depressing music. I'm not sure to this day which came first.

that actually makes complete sense. i always listened to old rock n' roll music growing up, and the only thing close to new music i listened to was 80's pop and rock.. and some 90's bands.. it wasn't until i was 14 that i really got into tool.. then it opened up my eyes to all kind of depressing music. but i listened to tool when i was younger but hated it.. i was rather depressed but never tried to really understand myself till i was around 14 when everything was coming together yet falling apart.. then i listened to tool and i started to understand... and in some ways felt better like "something" actually new what was going on.. i've been listening to depressing music sense i was that age.. and relating to it.. its the only music that i actaully really get.. and i love it, i wouldn't say its holding me back from moving on and letting go of the depressing things, cause if anything it open's up my eyes and makes me question things, makes me think about things i don't think i would have thought about other wise. but when i do get really depressed, and lets say i'm listening to sad/happy by cold.. then it just gets me thinking about a situation like that one.. thus making me more depressed.. so it helps when i'm in my normal not happy.. but not in a killing myself type mood.. but when i'm depressed it just keeps me on that level.. doesn't make me what to die.. doesn't make me happy... it just keeps me mellow and sane..

does that make anysense.. or did you just read lots of spam?

Does what you listen to affect your mental state?
