A few years ago someone told me they believe if you listen to too much negative/ hardcore (rap) music it will gradually start to have an effect on you in a negative way subconsciously..

I agreed.


And too much meaning that's all you listen to when you listen to music..



Don't get me wrong I like a lot of ignorant/ negative music. Have a few on my workout playlist but I switch it up. I can't work out to non-stop "bytches bytches,drugs drugs guns guns (repeat)"

And I don't mean effect you like make you want to kill somebody or slap a bytch. I mean start to effect your mentality. The way you treat people and the way you view people or view the world. Effect How much you gaf about things you should gaf about

those are the same

it depends on the person. some people aren't influenced by music

Sounds like reverse causation.

Your mood determines what music you play, not the other way around.

I’d argue that a person who wanted to listen to too much trap music is the one having a negative effect.

I understand what y'all are saying but I don't think it matters..

Even if you aren't easily influenced or if you're the type of person who can separate entertainment from reality in music, I still believe you can overload mentally on negative music to the point where it starts to have some effect on you

What will be the negative outcome if Trap music is constantly driven into your subconscious?..u dont elaborate. Will a person start sleep walking with a knife in their hand going around stabbing people? Explain what u mean by it will gradually start to have an effect on you in a negative way subconsciously..

Are you that impressionable? So if you watched John wick twice it’ll have you ready to kill somebody?

It may if you are 12 years old, brain not fully developed, unsupervised, with few perceived options in a drug/gang infested community.

However, as an adult... I would hope not. I would hope you would view it as entertainment or art or whatever and not as your map for interacting with the world. If so, that's a you problem, not the music.

Again children are different. But adults shouldn't grapple with this.


Edit: that said... Trust yourself. If it's having that effect on you, don't listen to it or mix other genres or types of hip-hop. Protect your spirit.

Lol @ the smart dumb replies.

No u wont up and start selling drugs in school zones and break into houses, but it will affect ur mood.

There are hidden soundwaves in music that can put u in a trancelike state or influence ur spirit without u knowing. Thats why people have “turn up music”.

Satan was the angel of music.

No, I'd say you don't understand what I'm saying. The cause and effect is set up wrong.

Someone who plays negative music does so because they feel negatively, independent of and prior to playing any songs.

I get paid to play music for crowds of people. You think I get to influence their mood? Lol.

Those people showed up to turn up. I can try to depress them by playing sad shyt if I want, but they'll just leave.

Actions precede thoughts; moods precede song selection.

No what I mean by elaborate is what examples have u actually witnessed that it will affect u subconsciously?.....U never elaborated on that...You said you "believe" it does but what examples have u seen with your own eyes........U cant even make an accurate conclusion unless u did a case study.
