Everyone listens to music for different reasons. Some people do it to make them feel better, some people do it to relax, others do it just for fun, etc. What's your reason(s)?

I listen to music because I like it. I listen to hardcore music to help concentrating too, because it covers external noise.

Interesting! I would have thought that that kind of music would make concentrating harder.

Well, I think it does not have the distraction factor that singed songs have because in hardcore songs the singed parts are small, the most part is played only. And it depends by the song: industrial subgenre, the hardest, could deconcentrate. Or maybe it depends on how much one likes a song: when he dislikes one, that one would distract him.

Very true. I always sing along with songs (to myself) so depending on what I'm doing, music can get distracting.

My reasons for listening to music to keep me awake from studying,to relax my mind from mental stress I get from working and to enjoy with what I'm listening.Singing out can help me relieve stress too.

I love listening to music, as I spend most of my day rockin' out! For me, music lets me relax and forget about all the crap that goes on outside my life. It helps me forget about the rough times, and picks me up in a way. I also love it while working out! There's nothing better than having your favorite tune playing while you're being active. Music just helps you through the day in many ways!

That's good. Music does that for me as well, but reading does that for me more than music does.

Different people listen tom usic for different moods. I mostly listen the music when I feel me very sad and depressed by someone.

I listen to music when I'm depressed at times, too. Surprisingly, what most may consider "depressing music" actually helps lift me out of those moods.

I like to listen to music because it relaxes me. I dont like to listen to heavy metal or rap. I enjoy something soft and mellow. What type do you listen to?

I listen to all different types of music. My main genres are rock and alternative, though. I'll try pretty anything though. At night, sometimes, I'll put on the tapes with relaxing sounds, which is nice.

I listen to music to relax and help pass the day. While I clean house I listen to music to make boring chores seem slightly more fun. I tend to dance around the house too :) it's fun.

listening to music is like going to another world. it lets you escape the reality. and it lets you express the feeling you want to burst out.

I listen to music for everything. I listen when I am doing homework, cleaning, getting ready, or any other thing I could possibly be doing! It calms me down and keeps me moving. Music has always been part of my life. It has taught me discipline, happiness, and rhythm!
