Music Made Me Do It

I really enjoyed your discussion entitled "Music Made Me Do it" because it tackles human free will in a unusual context even if that wasn't your intention. I though your quote that "Music may have loaded the bullet, but It is up to us wether or not we want to pull the trigger," was a great philosophical example. I agree that we place to much blame on what the music industry churns out instead of focusing on how those that listen to it, interpret it. We may be influenced by our environment but in the end its our own choice that decides the outcome in any situation or decision.

I really enjoyed reading your discussion, it brings up a lot of things that I have wondered about in the past while listening to music. Like you, I listen to a lot of hip-hop/rap genre songs. And yes, I can agree that there is a lot of lyrics that promote the degrating of women, sex, drugs, violence, and other unpleasant subjects. I also often wonder if I as a person would be any different if I listened to a different genre. I often get a lot of remarks from people generally saying that I'm not the type of person they would expect to listen to rap music. Maybe this backs up an answer to the question of weather these types of music affect who you are as a person. I guess all of these "unpleasant subjects" don't really effect me, but it may differ from person to person. 

I never really figured out what my attraction is to rap/hip hop music. Maybe it's just the interesting play on words that draws me in, or maybe its a particular sound that I think is pretty cool. I'm not sure. All I know is that this type of music hasn't exactly effected me in any way.    

Dear Nabill,

   I liked your responce "Music made me do it" because it's very intersting and it's nice to know that music part of your life and I can also relate to this because I love music.

  One sentence you wrote that stood out for me is " Music can help us express our selves in ways we never have before, it can even be a form of escape from our daily lives, because I feel that it takes away many stress and helps us to relax.

Another sentence you wrote that stood out for me is " Would I be any smarter, friendlier, or perhaps even more polite?, because your questioning your self.

Thanks for writing and I look forward to seeing what you write next.

Dear Nabill,

I very much enjoyed your post, "Music Made Me Do It," because this is something I myself have thought about a time or two before.  A sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: "Music is a huge part of life, it would prove rather difficult for some to walk down the street without hearing some sort of music."  I think this is so true because music really is all around us.  Many people just don't bother to realize it.

Another sentence I liked was:"Music may have loaded the bullet, but it is up to us whether or not we want to pull the trigger."  This stood out for me because this is what we need to show to parents when they say that music and video games are the source of violence in our society.  We need to show them that we have brains of our own, and the influence of music in our lives is rarely going to be the thing that sets us off to actually pull the trigger and do harm.

Thanks for your writing.  I look forward to seeing what you write next because I can really relate to what you have to say. :)

what's up nabill,
that's cool what you wrote I can relate to where you're coming from when you said your mom would not let you listen to rap music and you would have to listen to clean versions and when you said listing to diffrent music like country it probably made you a diffrent person I think I would be a diffrent person if i did'nt listen to rap music.

Dear nabill:
I am pleased with your post, "Music Made Me Do It," because I agreed with many things you stated. Also, how your post can be really comparative. I am also pleased with your post because it is one of the many things that I had thought about before and to finally find a post that discusses this, it’s great!

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is: "Do lyrics in a song subconsciously enter our brain's thinking process?" I think this is interesting and true because from experience lyrics do make me wonder about what’s it about and etc,. It also influences people to further this with research or even feel some type of way.

Another sentence that I am thrilled with was: " Music may have loaded the bullet, but it is up to us whether or not we want to pull the trigger. " This stood out for me because one can argue but for the most part I do agree with this statement. Music can adulterate a person’s thoughts, etc. to make them and do these such things like a song suggests or states. One reason I say this is because nowadays songs or raps include offensive language which attracts most adolescents but then again it is up to that person to make any further decisions then just listening. Another reason I agree with you is related to what you said that we should be able to think for ourselves.

Thanks for your writing. I look forward to seeing what you write next, because anything related or that has to do with music will bring me back to see more about your thoughts. Also the fact that I agreed with mostly everything in your post will bring me back to compare to other posts or thoughts to see if they're similar to mine.

I am interested by your post, "Music Made Me do it," because I love listening to music and the feeling of the beat that you hear.

One sentence you wrote that stands out for me is “it can even be a form of escape from our daily live" I think this is amazing because I use music as an escaped to from life. I love listen to music that talk about the situation I am going through at that time.

Another sentence that I liked was when you said “All I listened to was rap But now I wonder if my life would have been any different if I had grown up listening to a different genre, like country. This stood out for me because I never thought about if i had listened to a different genre i would be different it like saying what if I read different books I would be a different person?Thanks for your writing.

I look forward to seeing what you write next, because I would love to read more of your writing and see if you have more writing that I might can relate to

Hello,nabill.
I enjoyed your post. I loved when you said, "Music can help us express our selves in ways we never have before, it can even be a form of escape from our daily lives." It's true. Music is an escape from the drudgeries of daily life. When you said, "Music may have loaded the bullet, but it is up to us whether or not we want to pull the trigger." It makes me feel like it's important to let your emotions out in a creative way.
