I noticed in my community that young people is greatly influenced by the music they are listening... example if you are listening to eminem then you would dress like him........... or if you like love songs then you are easily move with crushes or about love. Does music influenced you and in what way? Me? I love encouraging song, so I am very encouraging to other people....

I wouldn't say that it affects the way I act, but it affects the mood I'm in. If it's a happy, upbeat song then it'll put me in a good mood. If it's a depressing song, it'll either make me sad and on occasion make me cry.

I guess too much exposure to some things may affect how you act. If I listen to a dance song while walking I think it brings a faster footsteps in walking because of the upbeat. I guess that is the reason too why slow songs are being played on a memorial procession. Music gives the mood for that moment. Like when you sing "when you're happy and you know it clap your hands" then you clap and you know you're happy About the dressing like eminem stuff maybe due to over exposure you tend to express what you feel through dressing up.

Sweetie, any music actually relaxes me and keep my temper at bay. Young ones are easily influenced, by eminem, which i personally think his mother should have roasted his butt more, but to get to the point, a lot of people actually live to their music and that is so very wrong. TATA.

I listen to a lot of emo and I don't think it has an effect on how I dress, though I do have a lot more band shirts now. :D I have been doing some Wii Fit free runs while listening to music, and I have noticed that faster songs make me go faster, while slower songs make me slow down. Weird I know. As far as influencing me, music is my life, so yes, it influences a lot of what I do.
