These day, thousand of people listen to music from all around the world. People have different views about whether modern music has good effects or bad effects on young generation. Personally, I believe that nowadays music has positive impact on the young.
On one hand, music can help people share their emotions. Music is often used to expressed emotions by listeners. Teenagers may feel the melody, lyrics are related to their feelings and also what they had been through. They listen to those songs to empathize with the composer and share their feelings to everyone around them. For example, young people listen to pop or R&B because those songs usually tell a story or the situation that the singer has experienced. Moreover, music can reduce stress, anxiety and increase concentration. As an example, I always listen to music while studying due to the focus I gain and also reduce my worries about my homework. Studies have found that listening to music in 6 minutes can help calm your nervous system and reduce the hormone cause tress.
On the other hand, some music genres such as heavy rock and rap can has bad influence to the teenagers. As the lyrics in some rap songs refer to violence, gangster and anti-social view, which can cause violent attitude, behavior in young individuals. According to some experts that teenage who are exposed to rap music videos are 3 times more likely to hit a teacher and more than 2. 5 times as likely to be arrested. Furthermore, heavy metal rock is often listened with loud volume, for this reason listeners ears which can be damaged and lead to permanent hearing loss.
To summarize, modern music has either good and bad influences to young generation. But I strongly think that listening to music has much the positive effects than the negative.
