Music is the best effect possibly done to any game/movie or any sort of media... |
| Jilkon Posts: 108/227 |
I guess music can kinda enhance some emotions and stuff, so picking the right kind for the right mood is nice. Although mostly I just mix stuff I like, more mixed than most people I know at that. I can go from some heavy psychedelic to fancy piano tunes to some anime opening to industrial. What I want from it depends on the kind of song etc, but I consider lyrics to be kinda important, as long as I understand them. If there is no lyrics, or I don't understand shit of it (hi French), it all comes down to how it sounds. |

I listen to hip hop and a some songs do make me wanna get hyphy, and what not  .
I thought music influnced people a lot.. I would put more, I'm sorry..I can't think.. YAY NO MORE SCHOOL..okay anyways, music has influenced me..at times. I've seen its influence before in others.. To be continued.. |

I listen to a lot of metal and rap (or rap metal). It does make me get very psyched up sometimes. I like it that way. |

I have to agree with Skydude's post. See, I basically listen to old-skool hip-hop. I really am into it but I also listen to jazz, 70's R&B, and some new school rap (basically the songs that are on my ipod). For example, if I'm really ticked off, I probably listen to a rap diss (ex:LL Cool J's Mama Said Knock You Out). Or if I'm in a good mood, I'll probably listen to anything that is basically hyped or has a good beat. (ex: Digital Underground's The Humpty Dance or E-40's Tell Me When to Go). |

I find more often that the kind of music I listen to depends largely on my mood. During a rather depressed period of time this past January, I basically compiled a lot of songs that I already had on my computer which together made what I called my "emo playlist" and listened to that...a lot. When I'm a bit happier, I will often listen to funny things as well as the more normal selection of music I have. |

I think music affects everyone differently. I listen to music in the rock and metal styles where people are usually angry and screaming. I never really get too agressive and I'm usually a calm person. I never really get any bad thoughts about myself or others when I listen to this music. Even when I listen to the heavier sounds, it's still calming to me. |

Music has been a large part of my life for about half of it's existence (existance?) so I should have a decent amount to contribute to this topic. However, as far as music and moods are concerned, everything's been said (angry music amplifies pissed-off moods, et al). I believe it goes somewhat deeper than that though.
I think that over time the music that you listen to dictates what kind of person you are. For example, I used to be way into Tool's music and I think that much of my smart-ass attitude came from that experience. Even though I didn't really get to be a big "wise guy" until quite a bit later on I can't help but think that this came from that time in some subconscious way. Combined with listening to Big Black, Wolf Eyes and other "careless"/generally "fuck all" bands, I think my mindset has changed in recent times. It's sort of hard to explain. Another example: Lots of chicks these days listen to pop music which generally focuses on the topics of falling in love, breaking up and repeating the process. This, I bet, influences their decisions to step "onto the market" at a younger age, and makes them more liable to get pissed over small-time break-ups. Stepping back a little bit... When I'm doing homework or whatever I usually listen to something droney, no matter how quiet or loud it is. The repetition usually keeps me focused on what I need to be doing. When I have friends over I'll usually play something "out there" to see if I can broaden anyone's horizons but it never usually works. Otherwise I just play some old favorites at a soft volume. When I sleep, I listen to something I know and love so that I'm not trying to remember something new and keeping myself awake. It's usually slow stuff (Sunn o))), Jane, Growing, etc.). Yeah. 
Hmm, yeah. |

I lost my ipod while I was drunk... so I haven't had as much music to listen to lately.. and honestly... I've been more stressed out. I've actually had this empty feeling in my soul where all my music used to be. Strange I guess.
I believe that you listen to music that reflects your personality. I listen to alot of pop punk.. like blink182, all american rejects, greenday.. my chemical romance.. I dunno songs that make me want to go out and conquer the planet.. because that's the kind of person I am. I'm also very love-oriented.. I guess.. I think about relationships and people alot.. which draws me to alot of emo and love songs... and cheesy old songs from the 60's.. like "god only knows" by the beach boys. Or even songs with a message get me going.. songs that say something... like "imagine" by john lennon.. because I think way way too much. "BOOM!" by system of a down is another good example. Yummy. However.. I cannot listen to techno if my life depended on it. I can deal with some rap.. and that's about it. I don't like these genre's because they don't pry deeper into my life.. and I can't relate to anything these songs are about.. they don't speak to me... on any level. But in clubs.. they are a hellofalotta fun to dance to. |

No. When I do strenuous activities, I listen to stuff like "Orange Crunch" by Green Jelly. or "Carnage Rules." |

Not in my case Thoughtless, I'd be too afraid to picture myself as Rocky and fall down from hysterious laughing. |
| Thoughtless Posts: 1512/2405 |
It all comes down to personal preference.
It's clearly shown that both of you have your own definition of what is 'good' and what is 'heavy' just leave it at that. Either way. Does anyone else find themselves listening to the "Eye of the Tiger" Theme from the Rocky movies when doing strenuous activies? |

Originally posted by mattp Chevelle is NOT pop. They are Hard Rock to Metal... And you know what, Rammstein, Slipknot, and Devil Driver beat ALL those bands... Ever heard of... "The Heretic Anthem" ...? Do so. You'll see what I'm talking about. |

:lol Listen to Necrophagist, Sleep Terror, Into the Moat, Hate Eternal, Dying Fetus, Dream Theater, Symphony X, Racer X, or Cacophony for musical appreciation, not post-grunge pop music. Also, to add to the great drummers list: Derek Roddy. Music can accentuate a state of mind, but it can't change one. Depressive music I find very boring if I am not sad or lethargic, but I can identify with it and really enjoy it if I am. Likewise, listening to death metal just won't affect me at all if I'm not in the mood for it. It takes a full on sensory assault to change a mood, not just one of the five. |

A good example of this happened at work tonight. We were getting killed in terms of the volume of orders that were being made, and everyone's patience was beginning to wear thin. One family came in and ordered 6 crunchwrap combos, which had to be the worst time of the night. In all, they got their 6 crunchwraps, 6 bags of fries, and 6 drinks. The latter two were easy enough to prepare, but the crunchwraps are a pain. Each one takes at least 1 minute to make, and when you've got drive-through orders, as well as other ones coming from people in the dining room (and with most orders having been on the monitors for at least two minutes), it can take quite some time to actually get everything done and given to whoever ordered it.
Anyways, that's not the point. About 9:30, I was ready to walk off line (where the food is prepared), as I was tired of the constant stream of orders. However, right then, a ceratin song came on the radio (Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace, if it makes a difference), and I was suddenly happy being where I was  Upon thinking about it a bit though, that could very well be because I wanted to hear the song, and moving would put me in a position away from the speakers. Whatever the case, after the song was over, I wished I could go home again 
The only other example that comes to mind is the following. When I'm doing computer work at Heart and Stroke, I find it next to impossible to concentrate on what I'm doing for a long period of time, unless I'm listening to a long song (long generally meaning an hour or more). I can still get work done if I'm not, but it takes a lot longer
That's about all I can think of to say for now though. It is nearly 7 in the morning, after all |

I play the keyboard, and I love to put together the scariest organ type of music that ends up fading to a beautiful angelic theme, it can be so cool how music can fade to another type, just like a rainbow... |

I don't, but I just want to let you know that I was talking about in my state... not among professionals. |

When I want to really push the bad feelings out of me I dive in my Death Metal, industrial, grindcore and noise tunes collection (A.C., Nurse with Wound, Carcass, Dying Fetus, Skinny Puppy, and the like) . When I need to do schoolwork I settle for Jazz (Herbie Hancock and Andreas Vollenweider come to mind), classical (Stravinsky anyone?) and ambient music (Eno, Boards of Canada, Tangerine Dream). Then, if I'm feeling neutral I can listen to anything.
P.S.: Eyeless, I'll consider you the best drummer/percussionist when you will provide proof that you are better than Terry Bozzio, Joe Morello, Buddy Rich, Lionel Hampton, The Bonhams, Mike Portnoy, Neil Peart and Walter Keiser (don't take that meanly, just teasing you) |
