Music is in my opinion a very strong topic. It can be taken very literally or as a joke. But in any way that you interpret music, make sure that it is personal to you. Your preference for the genre of music you listen to or the band should be determined by your personal liking. Not what is currently popular.
Right now I'm super into indie-pop and indie-rock. There's something about the music behind the lyrics that really does speak to me. I have a connection with what I listen to and I truly think it allows another way for me to express myself. I mean isn't that the point of music. Another system in which we can talk or understand each other. The music industry is so large that there are so many ways we can find something that brings out the real us.
Around a week ago I picked up a mini Cordoba acoustic guitar, which was originally my little brother's, and started learning the ins and outs of the guitar. I previously was in guitar lessons a few years back but never really found the grove of the instrument. But this time, it's different. I almost have a bond with the instrument itself and it's a way for me to escape reality and do what I like. Someone told me a story about a hard experience they went through at around my age and how music really changed them as a person. They said that they focused on their music because it helped them get out of the hard situation they were in. And now many many years later they find happiness in the little moments where they can play an instrument they love and have such a strong connection to.
That story allowed me to understand that playing an instrument or listening to music should not rely on the society around you. Play the instrument for yourself, or listen to that genre of music because it makes you happy. And make sure that your doing it for yourself not anyone else, because if you do it for yourself, then in those little moments you can find happiness in doing something you love and are passionate about.
THINGS TO TAKE FROM THIS:
Find what you like, listen to it, maybe even play an instrument, and really learn to love music for the literal side of it.
