Response to Will Ferguson

Question: Do you think music gets marketing to consumers the same way products do?

Yes, I do believe that music gets marketing to consumers the same way products do because there are different types of music out there that target different people. I also believe that the different types of music someone listens to describes their personality and what type of person they are. Different types of music can target a wide variety of people based on their age, race, and even gender. For example, Justin Bieber targets most teenage girls as opposed to males. People who listen to country music are considered to be hillbillies or Southern people but that is just stereotyping.

I am the type of person that listens to any type of genre music but, I am not a fan of heavy metal or country. There is something about their music that does not satisfy me and I just can't stand listening to it. Part of me feels like that is just my personality and it just says what type of person I am. The type of music that I listen to also depends on my mood that day and that second. For example, I would listen to upbeat music if I am excited about something or when I am at the gym because it motivates me more to listen to that type of music. I am also that type of person who would also put some songs on replay. For example, Taylor Swift is the person who I go to to make me feel better, somehow whenever I feel down I would listen to her songs and everything will be alright and she makes me in a better mood.

Do you have a artist/band that you listen to whenever you are feeling down and they are able to fix it?
