Of course, this is sort of an obvious one. If it had no impact on your mood, why would people listen to it?

music does affect your mood...

Did you happen to notice this thread began almost 6 yrs ago? Metaphorically, you are replying to a message in a bottle. The author of this message has not logged in 5 yrs.

Reminds me of looking up at the stars and realizing the star I am looking at, may have already burned out, but its radiated light is still reaching my eyes. :rolleyes:
 
maybe you mean the other way around...music is someway of supporting that emotion of yours

I'm not sure, sometimes I think my mood affects my choice of music as much as my choice of music affects my mood.

While I think music can invoke certain emotions, I also think that is dependent on the listener's state of mind at the time they are listening.

I would say it depend all on the state of mind you have because I for one find punk rock claming & inrageing. it all depends on what has or is happening.
 
put it this way, how did you come up with your exapmles for the type of music to mood, because it kind of answered your own question, meaning your brain at some stage has already made those assosiations with sound.
