Importance of Diversity in Music

Over the years I've noticed myself listening to a more variety in music. I used to only listen to one certain genre but as of last year and this year I've come to like basically all types. The reason for this is because of all the different activities I do. Music sets the tone for me. If I'm studying, I like to listen to alternative, like NEEDTOBREATHE or The Lumineers. Before a volleyball game, I listen to hip hop cause it gets me pumped up (and makes me seem pretty cool). But before a softball game, I listen to country. Whatever I do, I like to have a different type of music for it. Through doing this, I've come to notice that music is a very big part of my life and I've become more informed on what I listen to. I notice things in songs that I've never really thought about before such as what the lyrics are saying, what songs have the same sound, and what I specifically like about a certain genre. Music really has impacted me and if you're very selective with your music, try new things, it's not gonna kill you.
