The Effect of Music on Humans

     Music has been involved in human history for thousands of years and it’s popularity overtime has grew exponentially ever since the 20^th century. The popular audio form of art reason for its popularity is because of humans. We like listening to sounds that make us feel happy and when we hear such sounds we tend to keep listening to those sounds because of chemicals released by the brain which is connected to happiness and euphoria when these emotions are released while an individual is listening to a song they like it causes it to be a connection between the two.

    The impact of music on people is huge and complex and even the region of the specific music genre has a impact on the musical background of the area. The special thing about music is that it isn’t only made by one set group of people it is made by people all over the world which is the reason for its diversity in genres and cultures. If this form of art was to only be made by one set of people the level of different ethnics and cultures and genres would not develop or begin.

     The ways of how music is performed is different depending on the genre and culture of the song. An example of this is the performance of opera and performance of hip/hop. Opera’s are usually performed at a large theater with a crowd of dressed up spectators sitting down, listening to the entire show to finish. Hip/hop on the other hand is the opposite. The show is usually performed loud in front of a large group of spectators with loud energy and excitement. If an opera show tried to perform like a hip/hop show the viewers would not like the show at all because it is not the style they like.

     Different people are effected differently from others with different types of music and sounds from tracks heard by different people. Some music that is listened by different people have different varying effects on the brain. Music is directly linked to dopamine being released by the brain to change mood or feeling. It can be used during therapy to calm the brain and relax the body. Music has many uses and purposes and different styles and genres of music.
