Most people like to listen to music without fully realizing what effect it has on a person and his psyche. Sometimes music creates unnecessary energy, and sometimes it has a relaxing effect. But whatever the reaction of the listener to music, it certainly has the property of influencing the human psyche.
So, music is everywhere, its diversity cannot be counted, it is impossible to imagine human life without it, therefore, the influence of music on the human psyche is, of course, a very important topic. Today we will look at the most basic styles of music and find out what impact they have on a person.
Is rock suicide music?
Many researchers in this field consider rock music to have a negative impact on the human psyche due to the "destructiveness" of the style itself. Rock music has been wrongly accused of contributing to suicidal tendencies in adolescents. But in fact, this behavior is not caused by listening to music, but on the contrary.
Some problems of a teenager and his parents, such as gaps in upbringing, lack of the necessary attention from parents, unwillingness to put oneself on a par with their peers for internal reasons, all this brings the immature psychologically young body of a teenager to rock music. And the music of this style itself has an exciting and energizing effect, and, as it seems to a teenager, fills in the gaps that need to be filled.
Popular music and its influence
In popular music, the listener is attracted by simple texts and light catchy melodies. Based on this, the influence of music on the human psyche in this case should be light and unconstrained, but everything is completely different.
It is generally accepted that popular music has a very negative effect on human intelligence. And many people of science argue that this is indeed the case. Of course, the degradation of a person as a person will not happen in one day or in one listening to popular music, all this happens gradually, over a long time. Pop music is mainly preferred by people inclined to romance, and since it is significantly lacking in real life, they have to look for something similar in this direction of music.
Jazz and psyche
Jazz is a very unique and distinctive style, it does not have any negative impact on the psyche. To the sounds of jazz, a person simply relaxes and enjoys the music, which, like the waves of the ocean, rolls onto the shore and has a positive effect. Figuratively speaking, one can dissolve without a trace in jazz melodies only if this style is close to the listener.
Scientists at one of the medical institutes have conducted research on the influence of jazz on the musician himself, performing the melody, in particular the improvisational playing. When a jazzman improvises, his brain turns off some areas, and on the contrary activates some, along the way the musician plunges into a kind of trance, in which he easily creates music that he has never heard or played before. So jazz has an impact not only on the psyche of the listener, but also on the musician himself, performing some kind of improvisation.
Is classical music ideal music for the human psyche?
According to psychologists, classical music is ideal for the human psyche. It has a good effect, both on the general condition of a person, and puts in order emotions, feelings and sensations. Classical music is able to eliminate depression and stress, helps to "drive away" sadness. And when listening to some works of V.A. Mozart, young children develop intellectually much faster. This is the kind of classical music - brilliant in all its manifestations.
As mentioned above, there is a wide variety of music and what kind of listening a person chooses, listening to his personal preferences. This suggests the conclusion that the influence of music on the human psyche first of all depends on the person himself, on his character, personal qualities and, of course, temperament. So you need to choose and listen to music that is more to your liking, and not the one that is imposed or presented as necessary or useful.
And at the end of the article I suggest listening to the wonderful work of V.A. Mozart's "Little Night Serenade" for a beneficial effect on the psyche:
If we omit the verbose introductions about the positive influence of classical music and the details of various studies, we get the following. In psychology, there is such a term as "HEARING WAY". This is the path from the beginning of the sound to the result, which is achieved by stimulating one or more nerve centers in the brain. Every word, piece of music, or just sound has its own auditory pathways. Accordingly, sounds that are different in frequency, rhythm, timbre, oscillation affect a person in different ways, because this is directly related to the rhythms of the brain.
Receiving audio information through the organs of hearing, the brain analyzes it by comparing it with its own rhythms. Every person has rhythms with their own frequency. That is why tastes for music are so different. Let's go through the genres.
Rock music.
In many classical works, we find information about the harmfulness of rock and similar music to the body. Not surprisingly, in the not so distant 80s and earlier, rockers were almost equated with Satanists. In the minds of the "ancestors" the image of scary, violent, practically asocial personalities (as we see from our Nikita) has become entrenched, therefore in those years it was common for cultured and educated people to write only "correct" articles.
However, later a curious fact about rock music was discovered - scientists have proven that rockers have the highest IQs of all music lovers.
In modern rock music, frequencies are used that affect the brain, like drugs, since they combine from ultra-low frequencies of 15-30 hertz to ultra-high frequencies up to 80,000 hertz. This decently excites the human nervous system.
The power of sound also plays a role here. Our ear picks up a sound of 55-60 decibels in the best way. Loud is a sound of 70 decibels. The sound volume at the site, where the walls with powerful speakers, used during rock concerts, are installed, reaches 120 dB, and in the middle of the site, up to 140-160 dB. (120 dB corresponds to the loudness of the roar of a jet plane taking off in the immediate vicinity, and the average values for a player with headphones are 80-110 dB). In this situation, the adrenal glands also secrete a stress hormone - adrenaline. You can imagine the effect on the body. But why it is commonly believed that this is bad, I do not know. Personally, I am in favor of adrenaline and all sorts of psychoglucks - we already deal with them every day, so why divide them into "good" and "bad"? This is stupid!
Electronic music, trance
Here, of course, rhythm plays the main role. Rhythm is generally one of the most powerful ways of influencing the human body. Simple but powerful rhythms force the person into a response (movement to the rhythm), from ecstasy to hallucinations, from hysteria to unconsciousness.
Influence of Pop Music on Man
Well, what can we say about her? Pop music more often adjusts to the heart rate and rather slows it down than vice versa, unless it is of course party music. I don't really see psychotropy in this music, and I don't see evidence of the opposite either. Here "nice" - "not nice" acts more. Words are echoing or not. In pop, music has never been a strong point. In general, it is "considered" that popular music has an extremely negative effect on intelligence. No one is offended, but personally I was convinced of this more than once - this is called "rolling" is clearly not casual ...
Influence of Jazz Music
Jazz has practically no effect on the mental state of a person. He just relaxes in the "waves" of this musical direction. But relaxation very quickly "evaporates", dissolves into the melody of music. You too can dissolve with them. But on one very small condition. Condition: this music is close to you. Because he has so few followers, because this is music of taste, but I want to note, excellent, because in this music a person does not seek sensations, he enjoys the music itself
The influence of classical music on humans
All the best words of course are given to this musical formula. It is believed that the classical style of music is ideal for a person and society as a whole. It harmonizes feelings, thoughts, mind, emotions, drives away all sorrows from you. Whatever you listen to, find something of your own in a classic or a modern instrumental. As far as this is good, you will find enough information on the net.
Impact on the psyche of rap and hip-hop style
In turnips, rhythm and words are in the foreground. Those. he can transcend in his own way. But at the same time, the leading role here is given to the texts and their subtext is rather key. I love rap, but its influence is more on the level of pop - everything is decided by words, there is no sonic depth here. They make you freeze, or they can turn the essence of the rhythm into fun.
Horror movie soundtracks.
The main purpose of the music for these films is to create fear, unpleasant emotions and create tension. To achieve this goal in this music, periodic structures and their synchronization must be violated. Horror films can create fear and anxiety in many people, the main thing is more tension and surprise in the sounds.
Something like this. Do not forget that music affects the human psyche, depending on what kind of person he is. He himself chooses what is closer to him. Actually, this is why it is often possible to recognize the properties of a person from music. Personally, if I want to know more about a person, I definitely look in his audio recording. There is something to pull out of his psychotype.
By the way, it is also a fact that in humans, rabbits, cats, guinea pigs and dogs, under the influence of music, blood pressure can change, the heart rate can increase, and the rhythm and depth of respiratory movements can decrease up to a complete cessation of breathing. Among other dogs, for some reason, in dogs from the Pinscher breed group, these changes are stronger than in other dogs. I don't know why, but curious.
A person's intelligence depends on what kind of music he listens to ... While other scientists are researching proper nutrition for weight loss, mysterious "British scientists" made a sensational statement that the intelligence quotient (IQ) directly depends on what style of music a person likes. Everyone knows that the level of intelligence, which has long been invented to measure using the IQ (intelligence quotient), depends on musical preferences. Scientists selected subjects with whom they conducted a series of tests and surveys. The main thrust of the research was to determine which styles of music negatively affect a person's mental capacity. Most likely, British scientists entered into a conspiracy with the parents of rebellious teenagers, since the list of potentially dangerous to the intellect includes the most common and beloved by young people. By the way, scientists quickly identified a curious trend with the help of tests. The lowest results in IQ tests were shown by those who have been fond of the hip-hop style for many years, as well as r'n'b. Thus, the rappers were called the most "dim-witted" among all the subjects. For the tests, a classic questionnaire was used to determine IQ, and according to the traditional test according to the school curriculum, the basic general educational material was included there. Their peers, who prefer classical and symphonic music, had higher rates. To the great chagrin of parents, THOSE CHILDREN WHO LIKE HEAVY MUSIC AND ROCK ARE ONE OF THE HIGHEST INTELLIGENCE INDICATORS. There is a very close relationship between the musical preferences of people and different types of personality, according to British psychologists, who interviewed 36 thousand people from around the world. This study is considered the largest ever conducted. Judging by its results, classical music lovers are timid and shy, while heavy metal fans are kind and laid-back. During the study, scientists interviewed 36 thousand people from around the world. They had to place 104 musical styles in order of personal preference and answer questions to determine their character. Some of the research results were unexpected for scientists: “One of the facts that surprised us the most is that people who love classical music and heavy metal are very similar. Both are creative and laid-back personalities, but not very sociable, ”says one of the professors. “In society, there is a stereotype of a hard rock fan as a person who is deeply depressed with a tendency to suicide, it is generally accepted that rockers are dangerous elements of society. In fact, they are harmless, and even useful for society as a whole. They are very subtle natures, ”the scientist adds. Musical styles and characteristic traits of their fans:

**********************************************
Rock increases intelligence, however, if it sounds low. This is the conclusion reached by physiologists from the Institute of Higher Nervous Activity and Neurophysiology of the Russian Academy of Sciences, having studied the effect of music on the brain. According to the institute, the study involved a group of volunteers aged 22 to 47 years. The volunteers listened with headphones to classical music (Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, etc.) and rock music (including the performance of the Rolling Stones). And in parallel, the subjects looked at the monitor, recognizing what kind of pictures were displayed on it. It turned out that under the influence of some pieces of music, people's brain function improved, while from others it worsened. Even the sound volume mattered. It turned out that the brain reacts to classical works in the same way as to solving problems or listening to texts. The thought process is improved if such music sounds loud - in the range from 40 to 60 decibels. Rock, on the other hand, stimulates mental activity and memory with a quiet sound - no more than 30 decibels. If you turn it on loudly, then it increases emotional stress and anxiety, and also suppresses the intellect.

Do you still think hard rock music is for morose teenagers? Or that calm and sophisticated people prefer classical music? And pop and R'n'B are listened to mostly by party-goers, fans of fun?
Scientists have been researching the relationship between a person's musical preferences and his character, intelligence and mood for many years. Believe me, the results of their research can surprise you. To begin with, rockers ... They are sophisticated people with a high IQ. According to the results of various tests for intelligence and erudition, they surpassed even the lovers of symphonic music. And those who listen to pop music are hardworking and executive. Unexpected, right?
In the not so distant eighties, rockers in our country were almost equated with Satanists. Gloomy guys and girls in leather jackets with rivets instilled fear in the surrounding grandmothers and young mothers. Due to the attributes and the rebellious spirit inherent in rockers, a stereotype has become stronger in the minds of ordinary people: fans of this music are dangerous, practically asocial personalities. They ride roaring motorcycles, rattle with chains, drink alcohol ... In general, it was clear to everyone that a decent person should stay away from such a company and their rumbling music.
Cultured and educated people were instructed to listen to classical music, at least blues or jazz. Fans of uncomplicated songs "about love" and other pop music were treated a little more condescendingly, but they were considered idlers, who can only go dancing.
Another popular belief was that cheerful music cheers you up, while sad and gloomy melodies, on the contrary, drive you into depression. This myth is still tenacious. Try admitting to friends and family that you are in a bad mood, depression, or trouble on the love front - and then play a tearful song. There will certainly be a person who will tell you: "Why are you poisoning your soul, turn on something more fun!"
All of the above are examples of various stereotypes about the connection between the music that a person listens to with his lifestyle and character. At some point, scientists became interested in the question. They decided to test whether there really is a relationship between music and character, emotional state and even - what the hell is not kidding - the level of intelligence of its listeners. And if so, which one? The results of their research were a big surprise.
The fact that music really influences mood is hardly surprising. But not everyone knows that it is not recommended to listen to major melodies in a bad mood. No, there is, of course, a certain category of people who it really helps - but there are not many of them. The fact is that the dissonance between the performer's mood and yours can drive you into even greater depression. But hysterical songs, oddly enough, in this state give a feeling of empathy. So if your friend is sad and listens to sad ballads about death and the vanity of being, do not bother him. Perhaps this is his personal therapy. As soon as it becomes easier for him, he will certainly turn on “Don’t worry, be happy”.
What about the connection between music and character? In 2008, scientists from Heriot-Watt University (Edinburgh), led by Professor Adrian North, head of the Department of Applied Psychology, decided to test whether musical preferences are related to the intelligence and character of the listeners. During the study, scientists interviewed 36 thousand people from around the world. To determine the level of intelligence of the volunteers, classical tests for IQ were used, as well as a list of questions for the general school curriculum. Perhaps the scientists colluded with their parents and decided to prove to teenagers that listening to heavy music and rap is not safe for their brains.
The results surprised the researchers themselves. There really is a connection between music and character type. But what a!
"One of the facts that amazed us the most is that fans of classical music and hard rock are very similar," admitted the author of the experiment, Adrian North. To the delight of teenagers and to the chagrin of parents, the highest intelligence was demonstrated by fans of classical music ... and rock and roll! Their performance was equal. What a gap in educational practice! Now you can't say to your son or daughter: “Don't listen to heavy metal, or you’ll get stupid, turn it on better than Mozart”.
However, as life shows, in adulthood, many rockers become familiar with classical works. But rock and roll is not forgotten either. Unsurprisingly, the characteristics of the fans of both genres were similar. “Both are creative, easy-going, but not very sociable personalities,” the researchers say.
In addition, rock lovers turned out to be quiet, subtly introverted. “There is a stereotype of the hard rock fan as a deeply depressed person with a suicidal tendency in society, and it is generally accepted that rockers are dangerous elements of society,” says North. - In fact, they are harmless, and even useful for society as a whole. They are very subtle natures. "
The most narrow-minded, alas, were the fans of rap, hip-hop and R'n'B. They showed the lowest IQ test scores. But they, like reggae fans, demonstrate enviably high self-esteem and good communication skills. Lovers of jazz and blues do not suffer from self-criticism either. Their summary characteristics were as follows: "Confident, creative, sociable and easygoing." Moreover, blues fans for the most part turned out to be kind, but scientists for some reason kept silent about the kindness of jazz players ...
Connoisseurs of classical music were characterized as self-confident, creative and uninhibited introverts, while opera lovers were described as confident, creative and kind. Those who love dance music, for the most part, turned out to be creative and sociable, but tough people in character.
Indie lovers, according to the researchers, are people "with low self-esteem, creative, not very hardworking, tough." Who would have thought, right? And reggae listeners have high self-esteem, sociable, kind, but not too hardworking. And the funny thing is that the most hardworking were just the pop fans. Only those who love country music can compete with them in zeal. In a word, the Soviet grandmothers were wrong all around. Rockers are quiet and intelligent people, and those who like to jump around discos are the most hard-working!
**************************
From myself I will add that since childhood I have been listening to rock and am not a fool or a Satanist.
Hard Rock- music for morose teenagers who are aggressive and not too educated. Classical music people prefer calm and sophisticated, and pop and R'n'B listen to party-goers, lovers of fun. Do you think it's true? Scientists have been researching the influence of musical preferences on intelligence for many years. The results of their research are surprising to many. In fact, pop fans are hardworking and rockers have the highest IQs.
In the not so distant eighties, rockers in our country were almost equated with Satanists. Gloomy guys and girls in leather jackets with rivets instilled fear in the surrounding grandmothers and young mothers. Due to the attributes and the rebellious spirit inherent in rockers, a stereotype has become stronger in the minds of ordinary people: fans of this music are dangerous, practically asocial personalities. Cultured and educated people were prescribed listen to classical music, as a last resort - blues or jazz.
TO dance music fans treated a little more forgiving, but considered them idlers, who can only have fun. Another popular belief was that cheerful music cheers you up, while sad and gloomy melodies, on the contrary, drive you in.
At some point, scientists became interested in the question. They decided to test whether there really is a connection between the music and the mood, character and even the level of intelligence of its listeners. The results of their research were a big surprise.
Firstly, not all people in a bad mood are advised to listen to invigorating pop music or major classical pieces... The dissonance between the performer's mood and his own can drive a person into even greater depression. Harsh songs, on the other hand, give a feeling of empathy. So if your friend is out of sorts and listens sad ballads don't blame him for wanting to heal his wound. Perhaps it is his personal therapy.
And not so long ago, scientists from Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, led by Professor Adrian North, head of the department, also decided to check the connection between musical preferences and the intellect and character of the listeners.
During the study, scientists interviewed 36 thousand people from around the world. To determine the level of intelligence of the volunteers, scientists used classic IQ tests, as well as a list of questions on the general school curriculum. Perhaps the scientists set out to prove to teenagers that listening to heavy music and rap is not safe for their brains. But the results surprised the researchers themselves.
“One of the facts that amazed us the most is that fans of classical music and hard rock are very similar“, - admitted Adrian North. To the delight of adolescents and to the chagrin of parents, the highest intelligence was demonstrated by fans of classical music ... and rock! “In society, there is a stereotype of a hard rock fan as a person who is deeply depressed with a tendency to suicide, it is generally accepted that rockers are dangerous elements of society. In fact, they are harmless, and even useful for society as a whole. They are very subtle natures, ”the scientist emphasizes.
However, as life shows, in adulthood, many rockers become familiar with classical works, moreover, without giving up their favorite metal. Unsurprisingly, the characteristics of the fans of both genres were similar. “Both are creative, laid-back, but not very social,” says North.
Fans of rap, hip-hop and r'n'b were recognized as the most dull-witted - they showed the lowest IQ test results. But they, like fans reggae, demonstrate enviably high self-esteem and communication skills. Do not suffer from self-criticism jazz and blues fans- their self-esteem is also high.
The most creative were dance music fans, all the same rock, blues and jazz, as well as opera connoisseurs... And the most hardworking were country music lovers and fans of trendy pop hits - people who, when asked about their musical preferences, answer “I listen to what is being played on the radio”.
The influence of music on the human psyche
Music "captured" our entire planet. We cannot imagine our life without music. She's all so different. Like the colors of the rainbow, like the days of the week. The difference is incredible. And the quality did not disappoint. Everything is in music: the city, the people, the virtual world, and people's relationships. Even poetry can be set to music.
Music affecting the psyche. What kind of music do you prefer? Rock, jazz, popular, classical? Or maybe you are fond of such a direction about which little is known?
Exposure to Rock Music. Rock music is "destructive". This is the opinion of many novice researchers. They recall a case when, at a concert of a famous rock band, a raw egg, which was under the column, was soft-boiled three hours later. Is it possible that the same thing can happen to the psyche?
But you rarely meet people who like classical music... She is very hard to perceive, they feel uncomfortable.
Real case for example... One young boy decided to conduct a very interesting experiment on himself. He gave all discs with your favorite music to my friends. I didn’t give it, I just gave it away. For a while. So that there is no temptation to listen to what you like and what you are used to. He planned listen to classical music the whole day. But he could not resist: it lasted literally for several hours. Here's what stopped the listening:
1. The pressure has risen.
2. I was tormented by a migraine.
3. It became hard to breathe.
The guy wanted to get away from the music. This is how he “cured his bad mood”. After such an experiment, the young man never listened to the classics again. She remained only in memories.
Generally, music affects the psyche of a person, depending on what kind of person he is... Both temperament and personal qualities are intertwined here.
Older people, for example, relax their souls when they immerse themselves in classical melodies. They can listen to classical music all the time and will be delighted to be able to listen to classical music online for free 24 hours a day and at any volume. It seems quite incredible, but it only seems. All people are different. Remember how the older generation tried to understand the love of the younger generation for rap culture, for example. It didn't work out. Understanding replaced humility. Yes, I had to come to terms. What was there to do?
Human psyche- patient, but flexible. Sometimes, it is impossible to predict where it will "carry". Sometimes incredible things happen to her: what, it would seem, should cause irritation, unexpectedly, serves as a means to calm her down. Yes, it happens. It is important to be able to correctly accept and perceive this or that accident.
In truth, hardly anything in modern life is capable of "infinitely" shock humanity. What "shocks" can there be in the musical world when people strive to combine notes with incompatible sounds, while getting, at the same time, a very good melody.
What if you like music very much, but condemn and criticize it? Treat her the way you want, not the way others expect you to be treated. Feeling love for any direction in music, you are not doing absolutely anything wrong, you are not interfering with anyone with your "addiction". So what's the deal? Are you afraid of judgment? If yes - give up music and "readjust" to another. If not, enjoy what is so dear and valuable to you.
There is another option: write the music yourself! Put your whole soul into music with all its “depths”. Perhaps you will become a famous person. Perhaps you are on the cusp of a "great" future? Time will put everything in place. // likar.info, pravda.ru, sunhi.ru
The author of this article was an outstanding surgeon of our time, one of the founders of Russian thoracic and cardiovascular surgery, a laureate of the Lenin Prize, the First National Prize for the best doctors of Russia, the Andrei the First-Called Prize, the A. A.N.Bakulev, academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, editor-in-chief of the journal "Herald of Surgery named after I.I. societies that have made a significant contribution to the annals of world surgery, entered in the Guinness Book of Records as the world's oldest practicing surgeon (during his lifetime). He was a non-replaceable chairman, founded at the end of 1988. Uglov considered tobacco and alcohol to be "permitted drugs", referring to the work of A.N. Timofeev "Neuropsychiatric disorders in alcohol intoxication." , Uglov also attributed rock music, the spread of which, in his opinion, is supported by the Illuminati Order.
Over the past four decades in the world, invisibly, but more and more tangibly, there has been a destruction of consciousness, and through it of morality as the highest and most responsible function of the intellect. Perhaps for the first time in the history of mankind, music, songs and rock and roll stars were chosen for this sabotage.
In the beginning, this music was not taken seriously by anyone. It was believed that this is another fashion that will soon pass, as was the case with charleston, boogie-woogie and twist. But, as Jean Paul Regimebal writes, “The social and cultural phenomenon of rock and roll, which appeared in the early fifties, unleashed such a wave of dirt, slag and human sacrifice on the world that thirty years later it became the most powerful destructive force for the body, soul and heart that ever came from the depths of hell itself. "
Music can be music, that is, one of the highest forms of art, only when it keeps pace with progress and even shows it the right path. Meanwhile, progress is necessarily directed along the path of goodness, humanism, human relations to each other, friendship and mutual understanding. Progress is the creation of the best, noble, accessible to all people. That is why they attach great importance to music in educating the best qualities of the human soul.
Aristotle wrote: “Music is capable of exerting a certain influence on the ethical side of the soul. And since music has such properties, it should be included in the number of subjects of education for young people. "
Of course, the person who is more prepared for it, that is, the one who has a musical education or natural data and an interest in music, understands and loves music more. Suffice it to point to combat music, which raises people into battle stronger than a verbal command. Appropriate music is used as a healing factor in a number of medical institutions.
However, music, built on the frequency and power of sound, going beyond the easily assimilated and beneficial effect on a person, can and does have a dramatically negative effect on the psyche, intellect and behavior of a person. And while musical education or innate human abilities perceive these sounds as annoying and even causing a painful state, in people of little culture, with coarse character traits, prone to various anomalies, these sounds cause excitement reaching ecstasy.
In view of the fact that rock music has a sharply negative effect not only on the intellect, psyche, moral and ethical state of youth, but also on the physical health of a person, I will allow myself to express my opinion on this issue, based not only on my own perception and understanding of this music, but also on the study of scientific literature on this issue.
First of all, I must say that not all young people, as they often say, are attracted and captured by this music. As I already said, people (including young people), brought up on classical and folk music, perceive rock and even jazz music negatively. I was told by a young woman, a doctor with good musical skills, that she, being a student at a provincial university, came to Moscow during the next boom in jazz and rock music. She decided to listen to this music in various performances. Having bought tickets for all the concerts of this kind that were taking place in Moscow then, she listened to all of them, although after the first evening she no longer wanted to go there. Nevertheless, she carefully listened to all the performances - and nothing but a negative attitude towards such music! Each time it was strange and incomprehensible to her why some part of the youth comes to ecstasy from those elements of the concert that aroused the most negative emotions in her.
Consequently, the judgment that all young people “go crazy” about this music, and only older people do not understand it, is fundamentally wrong. It's not about age, but about intelligence and upbringing.
What is rock and roll, to which so much attention is paid by television and those newspapers that for a long time (and some still) have taken a position of encouraging "cultural consumption" in relation to alcohol?
The development of rock and roll began in the West, in the USA, by arranging the beat-rhythms and blues of the Negro population of the South. The term "rock and roll" itself means two movements of the human body during sexual play and is borrowed from the African American ghetto. The main emphasis is on the beat (the beat is a continuous repetition of regular pulsations combined with shortened rhythms, which are usually provided by the drummer and played by the bass guitar. It is the beat that characterizes the rhythm of rock music). Distinguish between hard, heavy, bad and acrid; then satanic and finally punk rock, which is also not considered the end of this ascent to madness.
Even with hard rock, the beat is perceived in such a way that it strongly arouses the sexual instincts and, as a rule, attracts persons with sexual pathology. That is why Elvis Presley encouraged young people to cast aside sexual taboos and found pleasure in exciting the audience not only with his music and words, but mainly with those obscene and provocative places of a sharply sexual orientation with which he accompanied his performances. The emotions evoked by him led in a number of cases to a change in life habits, clothing, the emergence of a fashion for long hair, etc. Under the influence of such musicians, indignation, fury, mass hysteria, sexual excesses arose, especially among girls.
Hard rock is characterized primarily by the improvement of the rhythm (beat), the loudness and fury of the beats. The sound intensity reaches 120 decibels, which exceeds the limit of human hearing, which is tuned to an average intensity of 55 decibels, loud sound corresponds to 70 decibels. To the erotic pulsations of the beat, the effect of annoying noise is added, which by its nature leads to nervous overstrain, the appearance of an uncontrollable feeling of dissatisfaction and the desire to satisfy it at all costs. The purpose of this music is to create an ocean of frenzied sounds: drums, cymbals, trumpets, shrill screams, electronic synthesizers - all this comes together for a decisive onslaught against the feverish crowd. As experts write, hard rock is not listened to, it is immersed in it in accordance with the ritual of sex, seduction and rebellion.
The 90s saw the birth of punk rock (in England the word "punk" refers to prostitutes of both sexes, the Americans translate this word as "scum"), the goal and philosophy of which is to lead the audience directly to suicide, collective violence and systematic crimes. The limit of punk in the sphere of human and musical experience lies in the ability to inflict a bloody wound on a partner with a razor blade sewn into jeans or a shirt, and beating him, already wounded, covered with spikes and nails with a bracelet - that is, brings to an extreme degree of sexual perversion, to sadism.
Who supports, finances the development of rock music and contributes to its further dissemination? It is believed that rock music is called upon to develop a socio-cultural, political, economic, moral and spiritual revolution. And this revolution is part of a much broader project conceived and funded by the Illuminati. The Illuminati is an old mystical order founded on May 1, 1776 by several apostates, in particular Canon Rocca, the English bishop Albert Pike. This society dedicated to Satan sets as its goal the worldwide conquest of all economic, political, military, religious and other forces with the aim of establishing one single world government. For the complete possession of youth indifferent to politics and society, the Illuminati began to distribute rock products on a massive scale in order to ensure the worldwide distribution of the most aggressive groups. It is an integral part of a world conspiracy conceived by the Illuminati, the clear goal of which is to educate young people in the spirit of cosmopolitanism, corresponding to the coming to power of one single world government.
The consistent severing of ties with family, nationality, culture and ethics leads to the fact that young people lose their sense of belonging to society, to the country, but feel like citizens of the world without faith and law, without any obligations towards anyone. except for the Illuminati and Satan, although the consequences of addiction are not realized.
This state of mind manifests itself in the growing number of divorces, broken families, and the proliferation of works and social movements focused on individualization and self-satisfaction (egotism). This philosophy is too narrow to leave room for love, that is, one of the most beautiful and noble feelings.
The following data indicate the degree of influence of rock music and the spread of discos: according to the results of a survey conducted in 1981 in the United States, 87% of all adolescents spend from 3 to 5 hours a day listening to rock music. Later, the spread of this music increased even more. With the advent of more advanced equipment, they spend 7 or 8 hours in this lesson. Of the records sold annually all over the world, 90% are records of rock music (130 million per year). Add to this another 100 million rock albums.
Is it possible that this influx of musical frenzy has no effect on the physical, psychological, mental, moral and spiritual planes, both on individuals and on the masses? What data allow you to assess the seriousness and depth of the impact of rock and roll on young people?
I. FROM A MEDICAL VISION
a) Physical effects. Numerous studies have been carried out to assess the influence of rock music, which causes severe trauma to the hearing, vision, spine, endocrine and nervous systems in persons addicted to this genre of music. Bob Larsen of Cleveland has identified significant changes in the body in more than 200 patients. He noted that this music caused a change in pulse, respiration, increased secretion of endocrine glands, in particular glands that regulate vital processes in the body. When the melody rises, the larynx contracts; when the melody descends, the larynx relaxes.
Basic metabolism and blood sugar change during listening. These effects are amplified as the sound intensity is increased. Above 80 decibels, the effect of music is unpleasant; at 90 decibels, it becomes harmful. During rock concerts, the measurement shows 106-108 decibels in the center of the hall and almost 120 decibels near the orchestra. Therefore, in young people listening to this music, hearing changes are observed to the extent that is usually characteristic of people over 50 years old.
In addition, the number of people with cardiovascular diseases and disorders of the balance in the body is sharply increasing.
The intensity of special lighting and the use of laser beams cause irreversible damage to vision, since if the beam enters the eye, it can burn the retina with the formation of a blind spot. In addition, short flashes of light, following one after the other in the rhythm of the music, cause dizziness, nausea, and hallucinatory phenomena.
Adam Knist writes: “The main effect of rock music stems from the level of its noise, which causes hostility, exhaustion, narcissism (narcissism), panic, indigestion, hypertension, an unusual drug state. Rock is not a harmless pastime. Rock is a drug, more deadly than heroin, that poisons the lives of our youth.
As for the sexual plan, here, according to Larsen's data, the following changes occur: the low-frequency oscillations created by the efforts of the bass guitar, to which the repetitive action of the beat is added, significantly affects the state of the cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid, in turn, directly affects the glands that regulate the secretion of hormones. As a result, the balance of sex and adrenal hormones is disturbed, and the level of insulin in the blood changes. As a result, the functions of controlling moral inhibition fall below the threshold of tolerance or are completely neutralized.
B) Psychological action. As destructive as the physiological consequences of rock are, its psychological consequences are even more dire, since rock music inflicts deep psycho-emotional trauma on its listeners. Here are some of the consequences of these injuries:
1) Change in emotional responses arising from the containment of the desire for uncontrolled violence.
2) Loss of control over the ability to concentrate.
3) Weakening of control over mental activity and will.
4) Nervous-sensual over-excitement, causing euphoria, suggestibility, hysteria and even hallucinations.
5) Serious impairment of memory, brain function and neuromuscular coordination.
6) A hypnotic or cataleptic state that turns a person into a semblance of a fool or a robot.
7) Depression, reaching neurosis and psychosis, especially when rock music and drugs are combined.
8) The tendency towards suicide and murder increases with prolonged listening to rock music.
9) Self-mutilation in its various forms, especially in large gatherings.
10) Unbridled impulses to destruction, vandalism, rebellion after concerts and rock festivals.
II. CHANGE IN MORALITY
The consequences of rock music are associated with the main themes of rock and roll: thinking, willpower, free will, and moral consciousness are so strongly influenced by all the senses that their capacity for sound judgment and resistance is severely dulled, and sometimes not at all. controlled. In this state of moral and mental oppression, it gives the green light to the revelry of the most wild, hitherto suppressed impulses - hatred, anger, jealousy, revenge, up to murder and suicide.
The best moral and spiritual education cannot resist for a long time before the erosion of consciousness, heart and spirit, which is caused by prolonged listening to rock music.
III. SOCIAL IMPACT OF ROCK
Concerts and rock festivals cause such mass hysteria that riots and fights break out in the midst of sensational events that spontaneously arise during a concert or public demonstration. Here are some examples. In Vancouver, Canada, it took 30 minutes for 100 people to be seriously injured in connection with a rock festival. In Cincinnati (USA) at the River Coliseum in December 1975, 11 young people were trampled to death by 10 thousand spectators, who knocked down barriers to get to the festival. In Melbourne, Australia, over a thousand people were seriously injured in connection with a rock festival. 650 young people found their death during a weekend in Los Angeles. This report was made by a Californian television studio.
In his scientific work "Big Bit" F. Garlock wrote: “Participants in chaos and disorder could not have found a better engine for transmitting and hammering their ideas and philosophy into the younger generation of different countries of the world. So, in the two countries where rock and roll is most popular, the United States and England, there is not only a high level of decline among young people, but also a rapid increase in the number of crimes committed by young people, the birth of illegitimate children, various kinds of violence, murders, suicide ".
Scientists believe that rock and roll over the past 30 years has caused a degree of corruption in the youth that has never been recorded in history. While billions are spent on fighting air and water pollution and fighting noise, there is no resources, no means, no strong will to tackle the moral and spiritual pollution of young people who fall prey to this vast conspiracy.
It is surprising that the authorities find themselves helpless in the face of all kinds of troubles generated by this deadly satanic musical wave. Old truth: "Decompose the youth - and you will defeat the nation."
From this cursory review of scientific data, we see that rock and roll is not a kind, not just one of the genres of music: it is anti-music, because not only does it not carry all the spiritual wealth that is associated with this kind of art, he not only does not bring up goodness, love, friendship - all those high feelings that raise a person and lead society to progress, but rock and roll, on the contrary, cultivates the lowest, most negative feelings in a person, corrupts his morality and discards his intellectual development far back. Moreover, developing anger and pathological sexuality, rock music destroys people and leads to the degradation of society.
The power of rock music is aimed at the moral decay of young people, in its program itself, in design and even in details, there are the most perfect forms and methods for bringing listeners to moral decay and bringing up all the most negative and evil in a person. Suffice it to cite at least the content of those songs that are performed to the sounds of rock music. Here is an excerpt from the song "God of Thunder":
Prepared to rule like him.
I am the lord of the desert, the modern iron man.
I collect darkness to please myself.
I command you to kneel before the god of thunder, the god of rock and roll. "
In order to subdue the listeners, to make them perceive that which contradicts the very human essence, rock musicians, in addition to violent, furious noise and thunder that suppress the psyche, use lighting effects in the form of a stroboscope, which is not a props, but part of a satanic weapon against youth. With the help of a stroboscope, it is possible to alternate between light and darkness, which leads to a significant weakening of orientation, the ability to judge. In the case when the alternation of light-dark occurs with a frequency of 6-8 Hz, this causes a loss of depth of perception. If the frequency of alternation reaches 25 Hz, the ability to concentrate is lost. As the frequency increases further, all control is lost.
The combination of rock music with the play of strobe lights leads to the violation of all barriers of moral judgment. The personality loses its reflexes, natural defense mechanisms.
When using exclusively specialized technical means, a human being experiences violence over his protective equipment and freedom of judgment. Hence the mental, moral and spiritual damage experienced by the audience listening to rock music.
Considering that the beat causes an acceleration of the heart rate and an increase in the adrenaline content in the blood, it can not only cause a corresponding reaction from the sexual sphere, but also a strong arousal, reaching intoxication, than rock musicians have an impact on young people, and which lead to a sharp decline in the general moral level.
Thus, it must be admitted that the increased attention of the media to rock music cannot be assessed otherwise than as a path to the moral decay of youth. This danger is very great and it is constantly increasing. Many, who in one way or another instill or contribute to the implantation of this corrupting music, stubbornly insist that a ban can only increase the interest of young people, but it's not just a ban. We must first of all stop the propaganda of this music. And the main thing is to oppose it with real music. Fill TV time and radio with classical, folk, folklore, thematic music, etc. at its best. And to give it not in the mornings, when everyone is at work, not after midnight, but at the time when we broadcast performances of rock and roll ensembles, that is, from 6 pm to 10 pm. And rock and roll should be excluded from television and radio programs altogether.
