Rap, metal, country, pop, and rock are some types of music that people like. No matter what kind of music it is most people like music for a lot of the same reasons. Some may say that people like music ,because it has meaning and the sound is good;however they like it mainly because it helps them escape reality.

Most people say that the reason people like music is ,because it has meaning and can make you feel different emotions. For example, if you listen to certain kinds of music they may make you want to dance while others make you want to cry. Also a lot of music has very meaningful lyrics that may help you get through a tough day. Music is played during different occasions. Like at funerals they play sad music to fit the mood. At parties they play music that may make you want to dance. So music does make you feel different emotions, but that is not the main reason that people like it.

Music helps people escape reality. It is a great way to escape the real world. Some people just get lost in the music and they forget all about problems in life. Even if you may not literally leave the real world music helps you get away for a while. If you've had a tough day at school ,and you just want to calm down and relax most people will put on some music, because it soothes you. Also it may help keep you calm. If something bad happens ,and you just want to cry you can put on some music and dance to cheer you up. Different kinds of music are used for different things but it all comes back to escaping in the end. For example; music is used at school dances to get the kids to dance. However; when the music is off reality comes back ,and hits you in the face and you realize that music made that fun. Without music you would be stuck in everyday life forever without an escape. I think everyone would go insane, if we couldn't get away for a while. Music is like a vacation. If you want to get away from work you take a vacation to somewhere fun whereas; if you want to get away from problems at home or school you can just put on some music and rock out. So, if you can't afford a fancy vacation to a faraway place just remember music is a great escape.

These are some reasons that people like music. It has meaning and emotion. Mostly it is a great escape from reality. Escaping reality through music is important because without it we would all drown in our problems of life. This is why music is very important to people and why they like it.
