Music and Adolescence

It's a common known fact that music plays a vital role in the lives of adolescence. I believe that the music of a generation reflects the generation itself. Music, by definition, involves personality and emotion. Thus, the essence of a generation is captured and immortalized in the music. Each generation of adolescence brings something new to music. Nowadays, technology is a key component in the making and listening of music. We are growing up surrounded with a variety of technologies, so it's inevitable that the music we listen to reflects that. Personally, music is my safe haven. It serves as an escape just like books do, and I assume it serves the same purpose for all adolescence. Not only is it a way for escape, it is also a source of comfort and hope for many.
