Have this ever happened to you?
Question:
Last time that happened to me I was in a meeting with my psychiatrist and a counselor (several years ago) with one of my parents and they all tried telling me not to listen to Marilyn Manson, Static X cause they thought I was getting bad messages.
I chewed them out really bad and told them I will listen to whatever the heck I want and wont let anyone dictate what or who I listen to? :P
Answers:
listen to what u want to.if u like the music then listen to it thats why its music we all have different taste in sounds.yeah i know not all music has good messages but as long as u dont take them seriously than listen to it.
well in sure they were just concerned that music sucks, i mean think about the lyrics and you cant agree there is a bad message?? but on the other hand, you have free will, no one should tell you what to listen to in the end your gonna do what u want anyway
no one has ever told me what music to listen to. you sound like you are angry at the world not at your parents or your counselor. i feel they were thinking that the music was controlling your moods and your ability to make good decisions. maybe you should listen to them. good luck
yeah thats happened to me before. same thing therapist and phychiatrist told me to stop listening to certain types of music, sadi it was bad and so on and so forth.
During my high school years it did. I could never understand why people blame music. I think television is far worse. Don't worry it will pass just hang on until then. Yes you do have the right to listen to whatever you want.
i can see why they would do that. but no, it's never really happened to me
Well.first off, I would like to say that people are going to listen to what they prefer and what they want no matter what anyone says..but on the other hand, I don't blame people for stating their opinions and making suggestions to you, it is their right as well to do that. Third, I would just like to personally state my opinion, if you are having mental health issues and obviously you are depressed or mad at something, then why would you want to listen to those artists..because I also know as well what kind of messages they portray and whether some may agree with it or not, IT DOES AFFECT YOUR MOOD. If you wanted something a little aggressive, plain rock music would do just as well with a little bit more meaningful message. Music is wonderful and healing too, but if you are in a depressed or angry mood, then you surely wouldn't want to listen to that all the time because it will effect you eventually and make your problem and feelings worse. Hope this helps!
u r right. last time I checked the US was a free country. If everyone listened to the same kind of music it would be a pretty boring place.
not yet. But if I started listening to rap or jazz they might ask why. I think people that are insecure about anything don't want their children (or teens) to listen to any kind of "bad" music. Angry I mean, or like ones that talk of suicide. What they don't understand is that by telling that person not to listen to the music they want to is kind of stunting them. I mean, I can understand if your four year old wants to listen to "Motherfucka" and you say no. But when you're a teen, it's harder.
