Do u believe that the kind of music you listen to affects ur mood? for eg, if u listen to sad songs, ur in a sad mood, romantic songs get u romantic and bubbly songs get you into a cheerful mood?

Absolutely! Music is everything to me and I tend to make "playlists" based off of mood. Sad List (tends to be full of sad slow songs about life and love) Love List (all love related songs) Cleaning Mix (this is for when I want to clean and need upbeat fast paced music) Party Mis so on. I primarily listen to certain particular things based off of mood PERIOD. So yes, I totally think music affects the mood or else I would not revisit those particular songs knowing it will help for w/e reason! :) How about you? To answer your own question?

I totally agre with what you said... I too have a playlist based on the mood... sad, romantic, peppy, life etc... depending on what mood i am in, i listen to these songs... And if im listening to songs on the radio, the kind of music playing always has an effect on my mood.... Thanks for the reply. Have a great day!

Of course. But I think that people listens to a certain type of music according to their moods. I don't think a song can change your mood, but could make a feeling grow.

I think to some degree they do. I also think that if you are already in a certain mood that it can possibly make you choose the music you will listen to. But either way I do think that music and moods are connected.
