The music listed above shows a lot about the people that listen to it. Our personalities can somewhat be determined off of these lists. The music that we listened to when we were younger (Backstreet Boys, Britney Spears) is typically upbeat music. This shows that we are outgoing and have fun. Also, the variation in the music we listen to today shows that we are all individuals. There is a lot of different music and people listen to what is relatable to them.

As mentioned before, the music we listened to was fun and usually not very 'serious' music. This is representative of our generation as a whole. The outlooks and beliefs of many of the people in our generation is to live life to the fullest and enjoy yourself. Many people live by the saying 'you only live once."

The type of music a person listens to describes their identity in a lot of aspects. Some people use it to express or relate to events in their own life. It can also be used as a stress-reliever, like when you listen to music at the gym. The music a person listens to indicates what their mood or personality is like.

Music can say a lot about a person's personality and beliefs. For some music is a way to escape the obstacles that are put in front of them and for some it's just something to listen to. Through the generations of life music has changed the way people feel. To look at music through different generations is quite interesting because of how the music styles has changed.

Between the ages of 5 and 10, our generation was listening to music that was popular or influenced by the people around us; like family, friends, or just people in general. At a younger age, kids did not have a choice on what they were listening to so they were into other people's music that surrounded them. Whatever that was in the mainstream became the trend of that time. In order to be "cool" kids were trying to fit into the crowd by listening to the most popular music of that time.

Each person has their own different style of music they're interested in. At the age of 15, a majority of our generation might be interested in hip hop. The style of music might be a trend or something that is popular to teens and young adults. 5 years later, their interest of style might be the same because that is the only style that they are interested in. If their style of music changes after 5 years that would just mean their interest in music has changed.

At age 5, the choice of music that we listened to was influenced by only one factor. That factor was our parents. In other words, we listened to whatever was popular for our parents or whatever they chose for us. We didn't seem to mind mainly because didn't care much about music at the time. We just paid attention to the rhythm, and if it had a good rhythm, we enjoyed the song. It is very clear that we had no control over what we listened to at that time.

At age 10, we were influenced by a few factors. One of the main factors was our friends in school that we spent time with most of the day. We tended to listen to whatever they loved to listen to. Another huge factor was television that influenced what kind of music we listened to. There were songs present in cartoons, commercials, and channels dedicated to music. And the radio was the final factor that influenced our choice of music. The radio had nothing but stations full of popular music that we had access to which slowly began to develop our style of music.

At age 15, we became more independent in our choice of music. We began to listen to whatever we enjoyed the most. The biggest factor that allowed us to be independent was when we learned how to drive, and got our own car. We were able to listen to any music we wanted on the radio in the car. As a result, we began to develop our own genre of music. However, we were still influenced by others in a way especially since this is the time that we were in high school. We still listened to music that was deemed as popular among our classmates in order to fit in, but our individual choice was stronger overall. In the present, our choice of music has shaped our identity. We pretty much listen to a specific genre. For example, based on our group's songs at this time, it shows that hip-hop is taking over.

At five years old the music that we choose is largely based on many factors in our lives. Our parents are a big part of our lives and they influence a lot of things in our lives, music being one of them. We grow up listening to our parent’s music and we tend to pick up on them. Another factor that contributes to our music choice would we what was popular at that time. We are in school at that time and we make friends and we tend to share music choices. Finally, as children we tend to watch cartoons afterschool and we tend to pick up on the melody, rhythm, and beats of the songs. These factors are our foundations to our music choice. They are our guiding factors that help us find our music choice.

At age ten we start to form our own ideas about music and with the help the television, friends, and what’s popular at that time. We start forming our own ideas, and we start using our higher thinking and question things including music. Since we are growing we start making friends and start socializing in groups. We start sharing music, and introduce new artist to new friends. At this age we start showing signs of maturity in our music selection.

At age 15, we get drenched with responsibility. We start going to high school and we meet a lot of new people. With this meeting our knowledge of music enhances. This new enhancement we start figuring our true musical identity. At this age we start to learn how to drive. We start to tune into the radio more often and we are exposed to more variety of music. We are given more freedom to pick our music at this time in life. We also tend to pick up on the lyrics and understand the meaning behind them more frequently then we used to. As we graduate and go off to college meet a ton of people and we start forming bigger groups. We start relating to the artists’ songs and form bonds with the artists’

At a young age we listened to whatever was playing on the TV or the radio. We really did not care for music at a young age. And, because of that it really does not describe our personality. We listened to what our parents or siblings were listening to. For some of us if we listened to the songs we listened to when we were young, we would not like it.

As we grew up we started to branch out from our parents and siblings. We listened to our music. I can remember when I have to fight over the radio, so I could listen to my music. We also heard more music because at this time technology was a big thing. We had computers that could play us music, and we also could download songs. Youtube was the main reason why we could hear new and different music.

In conclusion we did not have one type of genre. Our generation had a lot of music to choice from. The reason why was from technology, and what this says about our generation is that we are willing to listen to anything.
