I'm kind of in an inquisitive mood today, and I have just been thinking... Has the music you've listened to throughout your life changed your attitude towards things? I grew up listening to the likes of Queen, Jean-Michel Jarre, Rondo Veneziano, Michael Jackson and stuff. Then between the ages of about 9 to 12 i didn't really care much about music. At 12 I moved to my dad's (my parents divorced in 1993) and I was subjected to stuff like Extreme, Metallica, Def Leopard (thanks to my step-mom) and the likes of Prodigy, Beastie Boys, Nine Inch Nails, Aphex Twin, autechre, Nirvana, Tupac, DMX (the rapper, not Ed DMX!) and things from sources such as school (I went to a predominantly asian school in Birmingham, England) and MTV2. I was thinking....if I hadn't been subjected to the kind of stuff I have been, my attitude towards everything.......people, authoritarian figures, life, the future, the past.......I'm pretty sure that my attitudes would all be different. |

Everything you do more or less changes you. So yeah, it has changed me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it probably works in both ways... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
how do you mean? both ways? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think it works both ways Music can sway you in certain ways, but the way you feel can also change the way you listen to music Like, if you're feeling really low, Nice Weather For Ducks would probably piss you right off. But if you were in a good mood you'd probably like it |

perhaps he means that the music he listens to changes him and that him changing changes -what- music he chooses to listen to? That was/is the case with me anyway. |

in music changing moods, I find listening to System Of A Down is really good for lifting a bad mood It has all the agression but with a funny undertone. Real good for making you smile =o) |

music causes emotional responses, surely thats why people listen to and like it? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I like it casue I like to boogie |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
yes. napalm death changed my attitude towards mainstream hard rock, aphex changed my attitude towards electronic music in general, primus changed my attitude towards the bass. :) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
i don't like System Of A Down, my brother likes them though... the music that comforts me and lifts my mood the most when i'm feeling down/depressed is Morcheeba. at least 'Big Calm', lovely album (i don't have any other ones by them yet)... =) |

Brian Eno is an artist who has changed my attitude towards life. |

music is an integral part of our everyday lives,if it wouldn't existed it would be really... hmmm,empty, so to say. music tends to influence me very random,like one day i'll listen to rock,the other idm,the other funk or downtempo. two months ago i was heavily under boc / freescha sound and thats the most fragile state i was in. it made me appreciate things that i didn't before and somehow it also made me a bit far from my friends. and now...i'm on this crossroad...everthing is jumbled up in one big shell,but nothing is finding it's way. |

Great topic, oscillik. Uh yeah, I agree with everything everybody's said so far...sometimes albums like SAWII and Eno's works make me want to go about not talking to anyone for days. And albums like Orbital's In-Sides (Snivilisation is playing atm) and the RDJ Album make me really happy to be alive. Albums definitely change my attitude towards life. For sure. |

*shales head* tsk, tsk. marlowe, you haven't changed a bit, have you? |

i bet if i listened to different music i might be genuinely happy |
||||||||

haha |

if one piece of music can really make you feel happy,sad or even cry then i wouldn't see music as just MUSIC,but more like an universal language or even an emotional trigger that works different on each individual. "I wanted to write joyfull music,music that makes people feel good,music that helps and heals, because i believe that music is a god's voice" Brian Wilson |

life changes my attitude towards music |

Not really. My life affects the music I listen to, but not really vice versa. I extracted the same feelings from Green Day and Metallica as I do from the weird shit I listen to now. Different time periods, different tastes, same results. Or maybe I'm just not thinking on your wavelength. |

FACT: listening to ibiza trance makes you an idiot so: yes. |

BoC helped me not to forget my love of the countryside (in my late teens my interest in technology made me a lot more urban), but other than that, it tends to be I select music that I can relate to at a particular time in my life/mood I'm in. Listening to drum and bass when I'm lethargic doesn't make me more active, just like listening to ambient when I'm hyper doens't really calm me down. My life changes my music, not really the other way around. |

this is an absurdly complicated question to answer. i spend several hours each day listening to music -- and usually at least an hour or every two days 'just' listening to music -- so it would be utterly ridiculous of me to say it doesn't influence me in a myriad of different ways. on the other hand, i think it's pretentious to assume it's something definite -- like "i worship satan because i listen to geogaddi" or something. the only definite thing i can say is autechre taught me to listen closely to random (not that autechre is random, okay!) noises around me, to pay attention to atmosphere. i guess eno would've done that to a lot of (older) people but by the time i discovered him his ideas have been copied endlessly. |

If you listen to The Cure and Morissey all the time, you're going to be sad and think life is all pain, suffering and break-ups. If you listen to The Bug, you're going to think girls are hot when they dance. If you listen to Squarepusher, you're going to think you're cool. Sad, horny, cool. life, General Gravy. |

This is a great topic, I think that the music you are exposed to when you are younger has an effect on your musical tastes as you get older. So you generally (subconciously vs conciously?) equate different emotions and feelings with different harmony, rhythms and beats. This might not apply to everyone but if you look at the music that people listen to and ask them what sort of music they were exposed to when they were younger, it can get interesting. My mother and to some respects my father listened to 80's New Wave (cure, smiths, early ministry, depeche mode etc), this has had an effect on what I like and listen to now 15-20 years later. |

"Has the music you've listened to throughout your life changed your attitude towards things? " Yes, but most wounderful and strongest influence was when I did not understand the lyrics. The things I have created in my head back than would make any band from 90's look like a pure joke. |

plato was wrong. music itself doesn't do shit but move a few air molecules around. it's what your perception makes of it. |
