Music has always been an outlet for many people, including myself, that allows for creative flow, relaxation, inspiration or reflection. As someone who plays instruments and is an avid Spotify user, I find music to be extremely useful and can provide an escape for people. Yet, it’s one thing to talk about music; however, to talk about its listeners? Well, that’s where uniqueness is truly found. From genre to genre, people can relate to music and these are just a few examples of fellow high schoolers who had something to say about their experiences with music.
