Teenagers love music. They, specifically, attach meaning to and take aspects of their
identity from music. This is not surprising that music holds so much meaning for today’s teens.
Music creates a much needed sense of belonging in the lives of teenagers. Teenagers are known
for feeling isolated from society and friends. Music, as an art form, can help them express the
feelings of frustration that come with feeling isolated. Listening to music can also give teens the
chance to feel connected to musicians and other fans of specific musicians.

Music is a well-known tool for stress relief. Many people actively turn to music as a
coping strategy when processing stress or sadness, because it helps shut out the noise of the world
and the noise inside our heads. Furthermore, music is increasingly being used as a form of
therapy, and music therapy has existed for centuries. Teenagers, especially those going through
puberty, conflicts with friends, or the college process, are under a high amount of stress.
Listening to music has been seen to help teens process or release difficult emotions in a healthy
way.
Experiences tend to be very different depending on race or ethnicity. Music provides the
opportunity for teens of all races and ethnicities to share a common bond and learn about each
other’s cultures and backgrounds. For instance, much of the Rap and R&B genres originated in
Black culture, and many of the prominent performers and names in those genres are Black. Music
is also usually very personal to the experience of the artist, so through those things, music can be
used as an educational tool for teenagers to learn about backgrounds differing from theirs.
Music can also provide teenagers with a skill or hobby that is special to them, which can help
further build identity and give teens something to be proud of during a period of life that is often
characterized by low self-confidence. Music is an incredibly powerful tool that can be accessed
and appreciated by people of all ages and backgrounds.
