Has music influence on people? Or is music influenced by people?

From my viewpoint, music can change our mood, this is, we can be happy in a certain moment, but after listening to a melancholic song, change our attitude. In addition, music is frequently associated to our vital experiences, to some memories, cheerful or distressing. He always know what kind of music we want to listen when we go to a party or when we go clubbing. Likewise, we are always aware of what type of music we would like to listen if someone hurts us. In the same way, the general ideas that a song transmit us can influence on our personality and optimism or pessimism. Even in the way we behave.

On the other hand, music usually give us what we want to listen, apart from the rhythm and melody. This is to say, songs reflect the society thinking. In this way, in the past songs used to talk about broken heart, go far, friendships, lifestyles, etc. However, nowadays most of the songs are about different ways to move your body, physical loves related to sex, be liberal, etc.

Thus, music is influenced by people and music influence people.
