When your 19, you break free of the school world, start working, going to college university, your life is going 200 km/h in the wrong lane. I have not yet reached this stage in my life but I would assume that music takes a second priority.
Anways, for me, music serves lots of purposes in my life and that just why I love it so much. Music can always agree with me. No matter what mood I'm in, theres always something. The other thing about music that really makes me love it, is the diversity. These days, music is so varied, I can't stand how people put barriers in their minds about music. Especially at my age group (14), people assume that because you belong to a certain group or 'cliche', that you have to listen to this type of music, and listening to anything else is totally unacceptable. Thats such a crime to yourself. Music in general is so amazing that I coud never even comprehend doing such an injustice to myself. People put stereotypes into their heads about a genre, and then automatically judge anything in that genre as crap, without even listening to it.
I cant really say much about adults and music, I guess most just assume that whatever they listened to when they were young is the only music out there and, again, dont even give anything else a chance. Thats not true for everyone, however, I have an uncle who was basically my introduction into music, and he doesnt limit himself at all. He listens to everything from Bjork to Bach, no joke. :P Hope I'm like that when I'm older.
