In my life, music has affected me in a lot of ways. My interests in music branch out into a lot of genres. Even most adults assume, I don’t only like hip-hop rap music. I grew up with two music fanatic sisters. So you can say I had to hear a lot of music I didn’t particularly like. But some artists that I listen to on a regular basis include; Future, Rhoddy Ricch, Gunna, $uicideboy$, Juice wrld, Lil Baby,  Montana of 300, Van Halen, Flatbush Zombies, Rage Against the Machine, Metallica, Jack Harlow, and Shoreline Mafia. The list goes on forever, but one thing for sure is that there are specific reasons why I like their music. These songs spark a specific mood or feeling within me that I relate too. Although some songs I like don’t have relatable lyrics at times. But, what drags me in usually relates to the beat and flow of the song. Usually, the kind of songs that inspire me are motivational based songs that I can relate to a sport or life too. But at the same time, there have been multiple songs growing up that have inspired me. All I can think about when thinking about inspirational music is the Rocky movie’s soundtrack. As a little kid growing up, I don’t think any film, or songs have inspired me the way these did. If you have seen these movies, there’s a chance you have felt the same emotions or have understood what the film is trying to make the audience feel. When it comes to music nowadays, if any song gives me a sensation whether it would be from the sound or lyrics that made me feel inspired, motivated, or uplifted there is a good chance the song is added to my library and listened too. But, personally for me it’s not always about the good, happy, or motivational music. In some cases, I have a darker side of me that a good amount of people know about. Ultimately, this seperate part of my mind tends to be attracted to aggressive and violent based music. Growing up playing the sport of football many of my friends, coaches, parents, majority of teammates, and even teachers have told me about the different person I become and the fire that ignites inside me when my mental switch has been made.To me, there’s is no better adrenaline, feeling i get when I express myself through my sport.  Some of these songs help me get into the mental state of mind I need to be in, in order to perform how I want to. Even though I like some of these dark lyrical songs. It does not mean I am satanic, but some songs that I will show you mention demonic messages that aren’t in my interest fyi($uicideboy$). It is just something about loud music, and angry/violent lyrics that reel me in. So now that I have confessed to you about my borderline psychotic mentality, I will let you know about the music or artist that doesn’t catch my attention. Music such as some country’ and jazz music don’t really get my attention unless I like the context and lyrics. But some examples of rappers I don’t like are such as, G-eazy, Chance the Rapper, and Lil Peep. When it comes to rap artists I don’t like, it is usually because I don’t like the artists voice or lyrics. Even though some songs can actually be good structure and lyrical. But if the voice nauseates me, I can’t do it. When it comes to older people hearing my music, the only person I can say likes a couple of songs I do is my dad. My dad is 51 years old, I grew up listening to all the ACDC, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Snoop Dogg, and Dr. Dre. So, my dad can adjust to the new and sometimes ends up liking it. But, I feel most adults don’t understand the newer hip-hop realm because they most likely grew up on a different type of music like rock, or classical music. So, when young teens get in a car and play music about drugs, guns, and girls theres a good chance the parents won’t like it as much as the teen.
