Music Preference
My neighbor’s son used to play really great classic music with his guitar. I used to listen often when they have this special gathering. But, things changed when he turned into his teen years which got me a little worried.
His preference for music has changed into what most people call "Black Metal". His voice sounded like the ones coming out of Emily Rose. It was creepy and gave me the chills when I heard it. Being the worried parent and friend that I am, I gave his parents a call. I talked about the music preference of their son.
They also noticed it but they said that their son is also doing well in school and in fact, he will be receiving awards for poetry and music. They said that the music is alright because he started getting into metal at the right time - when he can make decisions for himself and not be influenced by musicians. It was then that I realized that music indeed has an effect on people but the final answer will always land in the people who listen to them. If they want to get affected, then for sure they will be.
