Musical Art

           Musical art is a very important aspect of my life. Most adults think that music is a waste of time because they do not see the relevance of it. In all reality, music affects people on a daily basis for multiple different reasons. Music is an outlet away from the pressure the world puts on a person, and it keeps people, especially teens, from getting overwhelmed or into bad situations that they are faced with as they mature and develop.
          Personally, music calms me down and keeps me from getting stressed out and thinking to much about what is going on in my life. In the past, music has kept me from saying very insensitive things, as well as helped me get my emotions out in my times of need. Most people would say, "How can music possibly do that!?" The answer to that question is music has the capability to help people when they are going through hard times because it is soothing and it distracts them from their internal struggles. Whether they write music, perform, or just listen to it, it can help an individual accept the things they can not change or help them become strong enough to be the change they wish to see.
         There are many different types of music that a person can listen to that may help them cope with what they are going through or just help them enjoy their time spent. I enjoy listening to all types of music, such as pop, rock, hip-hop, R and B, and even country. Although that is what I enjoy listening to, others may not feel the same way. That is acceptable because people listen to different types of music depending on their personalities and preferences.
        Adults need to realize that music is a way for people, maybe even their children, to express themselves. For some individuals, including myself, music is a remedy to help them overcome obstacles by keeping them level-headed and grounded. The next time that an adult thinks that music is meaningless and useless, they need to sit back and really think because music touches peoples' lives and hearts every single day. There are multiple stories about individuals who heard a song or album that changed there perspective on an idea that they had once believed true. The adults that think music is unnecessary need to learn not to judge something without knowing the deeper meaning behind it. I believe that adults in this century must keep an open-mind as the technology and music develops because they may be surprised. Like they say, "You learn something new everyday."
