Everywhere you go you are influenced by music. As soon as you walk into a shop, there is music in the background, the media is filmed with X Factor goss, music channels, the radio blasting in the car, night clubs - it's hard to avoid! However, would you want to avoid it? Silence is never exciting. Music can get you in the mood to go out, help you relax and make you escape, get to sleep, can give you and stranger a topic of conversation, and can keep you company on long journeys.
Music can also reflect your moods, and even make your moods change. For example if you're feeling really low and down in the dumps listening to Damien Rice is going to reflect your mood, and you will be able to relate to his lyrics and the tone, but if you listen to likes such as Bruno Mars, who often has rather upbeat songs, with quite optimistic lyrics.
Youtube (www.youtube.com) has made it very easy for people to view music videos. However, do you watch them to listen to the music or to see what the artist looks like and how they are performing? In my opinion I think that music will always beat music videos. Music will always be listened to and appreciated more than a music video will be viewed - yet sometimes a music video sells a song and makes it more popular. For example, Katy Perry, Rihanna and Beyonce have very sexualised videos and can sometimes be very bold and OTT, and sometimes even people who don't like these artists watch the music videos to see what the attraction of the music video is. Below is a perfect example of how erotic and sexualised music videos can get.
