Music Is Personality


In the world today there are many different types of people and music.

Music is something that makes someone’s personality. When you think of

personality, you should think of the way people walk talk and even think.

Music does not only effect those parts of the personality. It affects the way

people dress and even their attitude, expressions and the impression that they

give people.

By its beat, lyrical content, tone and vibe, music creates all different

types of people. It is not just instruments, sounds, and voices, music is much

more. When walking down the street you might see many different types of

people. If a person is seen walking with baggy jeans and big clothing with

a “swag” in their walk, what might be said? People would say that’s a person

that listens to hip-hop music. Hip-hop music is sometimes cool with a very get

loose beat and rhythm. That is shown through the person’s clothes by the loose

clothing and the coolness is shown with the swag in their walk. A different

person might come by with spiked hair, chains hanging from everywhere, black

nails, and eye-liner. Obviously it could be told that they are a person that

listens to puck rock music.

Attitude is something that a person develops over their course of growing

up. Attitude can be seen as your expressions and the impression that you give

people. Music is one of the many things that effect the development of

attitude. People that comes off as smooth and more down to earth with a

strong soulful feeling, are people that listen to R&B and maybe a little jazz

also. People that are loud, active, talk with slang and might be “thuggish”

listen to hip-hop music. You can tell this because a lot of hip-hop’s music

give off that same vibe. Some people are very unpredictable and has a new

personality all the time. They can be classified as people that listen to a

very diverse group of music types. In The Source Magazine rapper Styles P.

said “ there are two reasons I am the way I am. One is my mother and the other

is hip-hop music…” Music affects everyone’s life even before stardom.

Music is something that makes up someone’s personality. Music affects

personality from the way people act and feel all the way down to the way they

dress and speak. In an interview with Vibe Magazine Online Japanese singer

Toshi Kubota said ” It doesn't matter where you are born or come from.

Music is everyone. When I go to the studio, I sing the soul of my heart." So

music does not just make up some people, it makes up everyone. The world

wouldn’t be so diverse with personality if there weren’t so many various types

of music. Even though people do make music, music with out a doubt makes

people who they are and the world what it is.
