Music Identity

Decent Essays
Music can be a very important thing that gives a person identity. I like mostly clean songs, and ones that has an amazing melody and lyrics. I think some songs that define me are Fight Song by Rachel Platten, Heartbeat Song by Kelly Clarkson, Let it Go by Demi Lovato and Idina Menzel, Neon Lights by Demi Lovato, Sugar by Maroon 5, Style by Taylor Swift, and 22 by Taylor Swift. The genre of these songs are mostly pop. Some are pop and rock(Style), or a Disney song(Let it Go). Talking about genres, when I listen to music, I don’t necessarily like more of a song if it is a specific genre. I usually listen to songs that are popular and broadcasted multiple times on the radio.

Music can shape a person’s identity because the songs you listen to
