Music, Good or Bad?

I don't normally do this kind of posts, but i thought i shall give it a try. Today during maths, i stopped work at 9 and told myself the remaining 15mins shall be rest, just with my handphone's music in my ears.

So i was just had many wondering thoughts through each song.For some reason, the songs that caught my attention through that 15mins were Simple Plan's. I'm not a desperate fan of theirs but i don't exactly mind listening to their music either. So i just listened, i realised that music (generally) can actually change people's mind in a very drastic way, just like the way someone would be able to drive you to suicide, that would be the case if you're like depressed or something that sort.) But i realised it is when people are emotionally drained/ depressed / stressed, they listen to bands like Simple Plan.

Once again, don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Simple Plan is bad, because i do listen to it too. But for songs like these, i don't pay attention to the lyrics. But today, i did pay attention to it, i wanted to know why people actually write songs like these? Imagine someone thinking of taking his/her life and then decides to turn the player on to Simple Plan's and suddenly 'Jump' plays. It would be like some confirmation to take his/her life. This isn't like the only song.

Wondering, i decided to go to Simple Plan's album and played every song to take notice of the lyrics and then thought to myself, what on earth is the world becoming? Songs playing that if you can't take it, just give up. Or songs that say Jump! As long as you can't handle it. Everything is like in a negative way, what has happened to most of the postive songs, telling you to endure, to not give up. Where are those love songs, why are all these emo/depressing songs so popular, at least to teenagers?

I imagined people actually taking their lives, just maybe because they can't that the pressure, the sorrows, or whatever that sort. So they result listening to music like this, and what does the song tell them to do? Die.

So why do people write music/songs like these? One thing's for sure, this ain't happy music you should be listening to if you aren't in the right mood. I know for me, i don't normally follow these kind of musics and i know i make sure that this kind of music does not teach me any negative things in anyway.

Some of their songs are this sort, but some are nice too. So you should not be paying attention to those negative songs, but listen to the nice ones, like Welcome to my life?

What's your opinon on this kind of music? Are you a fan of these kind of emo music?
I shall end of with the lyrics to show you as an example, if you want to listen to the song, find it in youtube, i'm not going to upload it into my blog. :)

Jump

I don’t wanna wake up today
Cuz every day’s the same
And
I’ve been waiting so long
For things to change

I’m sick of this
town
Sick of my job
Sick of my friends cuz everyone’s jaded
Sick of
this
place
I wanna break free
I’m so frustrated

I just wanna
jump
(jump)
Don’t wanna think about tomorrow (jump)
I just don’t
care tonight
I just wanna jump (jump)
Don’t wanna think about my sorrow
Let’s go
whoa
Forget your problems
I just wanna jump

I
don’t wanna wake
up one day
And find out it’s too late
To do all the
things I wanna do
So I’m gonna pack up my bags
I’m never comin back
Cuz the years are
passin by
And I'm wasting all my t-t-time

I’m sick of this house
Sick of bein broke
Sick of this town
that’s bringin me down
I’m Sick
of this place
I wanna break free
I’m so frustrated

I just wanna
jump (jump)
Don’t wanna think
about tomorrow (jump)
I just don’t care
tonight
I just wanna jump
(jump)
Don’t wanna think about my sorrow
Let’s go woah
Forget your
problems
I just wanna jump

I just
wanna jump

I can’t
take it anymore
I can’t take it anymore
I
can’t take it anymore
Can’t take it any
Can’t take it any
Can’t take
it (take it
anymore)
Forget tomorrow

I just wanna jump (jump)
Don’t wanna
think about tomorrow (jump)
I just don’t care tonight
I
just wanna
jump (jump)
Don’t wanna think about my sorrow
Let’s go whoa
Forget
your problems
I just let them go whoa
Forget tomorrow
I
just
wanna jump (jump)
I just wanna jump (jump)
Yeah
I just wanna
jump (jump)
I just wanna jump


Is this what you are supposed to do when you can't manage, Jump?
Please think twice if you said yes.
