Does your music affect the mood that you are in?

Well, I'm really a music lover. I can't go on a day without relaxing myself. But the type of genre I'm listening depends on the mood I'm in. I have favorites on almost all types of genre but I don't go into those metal rock because I can't really understand them already. When I'm in a good mood, I listen to mellow ones or love songs especially when someone is making me inspired and happy. But when I'm sad, I tend to listen to those music with meaningful and related lyrics to what situation I've been depressing into. Usually those sad and slow genre that just makes me cry more. When I'm so energetic or when I just woke up, I listen to those lively music where I can dance and wake myself up as like on an exercise. When I'm angry or upset, I go into a little rock to distract myself. Before, I really like to listen to linkin park's and simple plan's screaming and sing my heart out too to let my feelings all out. How about you? How do you use music? Does it always connect with the mood you are in? Happy mylotting!

I usually listen to j-rock songs, acoustic of paramore/meg and dia and the like... I always use music in daily life - while playing games.. or traveling from work to home and vice-versa to feel relax instead of getting piss or worn in the hot environment and too much people to collide in riding vehicle.. LOVE IT!! :)

Of course like that, but I do not always follow the mood to use the song as perantasa my heart. Sometimes when I feel sad I choose to listen to the song that gave me the motivation to keep me awake.

I love music, I mix and match, I have my favourite artists but I also really like hearing the new songs that come out. I like listening to house and hard rock, even metal when I am stressed, it seems like the heavy beat relaxes me. Which may seem odd but it works for me. I like listening to music when I am busy around the house, again pop and upbeat music. I listen to classical and mellow music when I am busy online or doing something that requires concentration, normally songs I have heard before that I can blank out as this allows me to focus and ignore surrounding sounds.

There is an obvious connection between your mood and the music that you listen. For example I have some songs that I listen to feel better whenever I have a cloudy day 
I consider the music some kind of medicine.

I'm also a music lover. It's true that music affects the mood that we had. I use to hear songs depends on my mood and even in places or travel. I do want all the types of music except for classical/theater music. Honestly it's kindda boring, maybe I just don't appreciate it.

Yes, most of the time I would listen to music that suits my mood. But my favorite would be sad songs. Well, I don't care if people would think I am a lonely one. But there's just something about sad songs that always makes me want to hear. I feel I can relate to its lyrics. Although when I feel bitter sometimes, I changed it and turn to pop rock. Sometimes when I liked the artist I would have a folder separately for them so as I can listen to all songs of such artist.

Latening to music is what really helps me to spend a day..whenever i feel down i always turn my music into a lively song or something that can reflect what i feel that time and whenever i do that my sad and angry emotions just fly away thats why i aways want to have my ipod with me to be able to listen to music whenever i need to

Yes, my mood habits are connected to which music I listen to. When I am in a good mood, I listen to soft rock, classical, and jazz. When I am sad, I listen to alternative metal and hard rock. When I am angry, I listen fusion genres like punkcore and rapcore and even just punk rock, grunge rock. Sometimes, when I just want to forget about something, I listen to techno, electronica, dubstep music. Generally, it's my moods which determine the genre of music I will listen for that day.

The music I listen to is definitely related to my mood. Or maybe it's the other way around - my mood decides which music I listen to. I love music, but days can go by without listening to any music. I have to really feel like it before I listen to any music.
