In this text we wanted to research which kind of music youths listen to, why they listen to music and how they listen to music. We were interested to find out how music effects them positively and negatively. We chose to interview 14 students attending middle- and highschool, both girls and boys, to find out how youths listen to music and how they perceive that music effects them. We concluded in our interview study that youths listen extensively to music. We could clearly see that our informants use music in different ways. Many informants use music to enhance their feelings and many use music to increase their ability to concentrate. It is also evident that the informants use different kinds of music for different situations and contexts, for example when they are sad they want to listen to happy music or when they are doing sports they want to listen to music with a high tempo to endure and to want more. Many informants want their music to be cool, in other words skrill.
