Since I was a kid, I have had music playing around me, almost all the time when I was awake. In my headphones, through the speakers, radio, CDs, mp3s, you name it.
And you know what? One thing I learned through all this years, is that what you listen to affects you. It affects you on a pretty deep level. It can make you feel very different, and change your whole outlook, the way you see life, the way you think. Especially if you're listening through your headphones.
These days, I am much more careful in what I listen to. It can make you slack all day and make you apathetic, it can make you depressed, or it can make you feel joie de vivre, in harmony with the world, you name it.
So; be aware of these things, and if you seem to be doing well but not feeling it, perhaps consider what is there on your playlist.

Absolutely.
Also, why is this in the sex section? Mind if I move it over to &Rock and roll?
Well, I figured it has more to do with personality than with music, and it's also the forum I frequent most often.
But yeah, move ahead.
I bet you one of those damn kids that
listened to marylin manson,had no friends at school.
Was fat and ugly, smell like cheese, and wanted to shoot
your school.
Music is for enjoyment, quit letting something so easy
run your life dip shit./
Although I'd think of the OP's point in a different way. Rather than the music affecting who you are, it's more who you are that chooses what music you listen to. So instead of being careful with what music you listen to, embrace it.
Moved to Headshrinkers.
Like Rap music for example. It is, for the most part, pretty violent and geared toward the african american community....which, for the most part, has a high crime rate.
Just sayin
Well, you still have a choice.
I know that sometimes I feel like listening to one song or the other; and then after listening to one, it leads me to other such choices and so on. In the end, one may lead me to feeling one way, and the other another way.
Yes, I normally pick the kind of music I feel like listening at the time, but I also tend to pick a piece to set/amplify the mood I want.
