Music Effect

 In today's society we have all different types of music. All separated into genres.There's many different genres around today. There's pop, rock, classic, rap, hip hop, etc. But how is this music affecting us? Each genre affects people differently. For instance, listening to heavy metal music may cause the listener to feel depressed and dark. But a genre such as pop, can cause the listener to feel upbeat and happy. Most people do not realise that music can affect the way you think, learn, and act. This is mostly a concern for young people since their brains are still developing and they are more easily influenced by their surroundings.
  Music isn't all bad though. Many people can actually learn through music depending on the genre. Genres like classical and jazz can actually help stimulate your brain and make you more relaxed so you can learn easier. Many teachers and tutors also use music to teach an important topic to students. I have found through personal experience that this is a excellent strategy to use when studying for tests. It has been proven that students are most likely to get better scores when using a strategy like this because if the song is catchy, it is easier to memorize.
