Music is vital to various people, whether it is for heartbreak, homework, or hard partying. It is even called “the medicine of the soul” due to the fact that it influences our emotions. Music is also proven to help with brain development, especially in the hippocampus. Research has shown that listening to music can reduce anxiety, blood pressure, and pain as well as improve sleep quality, mood, mental alertness, and memory too. We interviewed some peers in our homeroom class and created a playlist that could be the medicine for your soul as well.

Introducing period one’s poppin’ playlist. My personal favorite song is “Beggin’ “by Måneskin, a pop song, which turned out to be the most popular genre in the playlist. It was a close win, country lost by two songs right behind pop, and rap lost to country by one. The pop songs consist of “Party in the USA,” “All I Want for Christmas is You,” “Stay,”” Dora” theme song, and last but not least, “Beggin’.”. The country genre playlist consists of “Mama’s House,” “Dirt Road Anthem,” and “She’s Country.” In last place we have rock, which consists of “God Gave Rock ‘N’ Roll to You” and “Money for Nothing. As you can see, our class has a varied taste in music that illustrates their poppin’ personalities.”
