Music is used today for many reasons. They’re used for enjoyment, different mood settings, calming settings, and ability to cope with some uncontrollable situations. I did some research on this topic for a class project and A college in Missouri called Missouri University they studies that happy people listened to happy music to express their emotions, sad people used sad music to express their sad feelings, and angry people listen to angry music to express their angry feeling.On average a person can go through numerous emotions in one day and most teenagers that have a cellphone or a device that plays music typically have a playlists based on their moods. Personally, I have multiple playlists even some songs that can’t be categorized to only one genre of music.

Some good playlists that are popular today:

• R&B early 2000 love songs.
• Today’s Country.
• In my Bag (Emotional Songs).
• Jazz music.
• Rhythm and Beats.
• New Music Friday’s (which is the newest releases which usually contain rap, country and R&B.)

There are many songs that can be listed in these playlists. Some songs that could impact your mood positively could be:

• “Happy” by Pharrell Williams.
• “Uptown Funk” by Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars.
• “Love On Top” by Beyoncé.

These songs have positive impacts because they are songs that are very upbeat and also very catchy. These are songs that are easy to remember and also very good songs by phenomenal artists.

Some songs that could impact your mood negatively could be:

• “Changes” by XXXTENSION.
• “I don’t wanna know” by Mario Winans.
• “Five more minutes” Scotty McCreery.

These songs have negative impacts on your mood typically when they are able to be related to. The first two songs are about change in a relationship that may not work out which could cause your mood to be very sad and change. The last song is a song about wanting more time doing things in life such as growing up and hanging out with friends and going to miss those days at the end of the song he wishes to have five more minutes with his grandfather that is passing away quickly.

Music is a very emotional thing for most people. Today, many young adults know how to share playlists publicly or with their friends. Doing this can help other people decide what they may be feeling.

Music is a way to express ones self and relate to other peoples struggles or successes.

If you’re ever unsure on your music interest or want to explore different music genres there are many different playlists on spotify that have variety of different songs in them. Which is very helpful when you don’t really know how to express how you are feeling or just to spice up your music taste!
