Some people say that music is a good way of bringing people of different cultures and ages together. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

Music
 is one of the most complex ways in which people express their feelings, either by creating
music
, singing or even just listening to it. Some people consider that
music
 is a good
way
 to bring people of different cultures and ages together. In my humble opinion, I do agree to some extent that
music
 is a great
way
 to bring people together. The best example would be
music
 festivals. I have been to several
music
 festivals myself, including Electric Castle and Awake. Everyone who takes part in
such
 an event has a sole purpose: to have fun. I have seen 15-year-olds dancing and having fun with 60-year-olds and nobody gave any importance to their age gap. They were socializing and living the moment to its best.
On the other hand
, being a heavy
music
 listener, I can say that
music
 did not bring me closer to anyone. Usually, all of my
friends listen
Accept comma addition
friends, listen
 to different genres of
music
 than me. I have met people that listen to the same type of
music
 as I do and no bond was created whatsoever.
Moreover
, I have never heard anyone getting close to a person or a group of people because of their tastes in
music
. Most of the time when people listen to
music
 is when they work or commute when they are alone. For most of us,
music
 is a
way
 of being less lonely, of brightening the day a little bit. It is a
way
 to relax, concentrate and escape the real world. In conclusion, I disagree with the idea that
music
 is a good
way
 of bringing people together. There are indeed some contradictions to my opinion,
such
 as
music
 festivals, but I believe that not
music
 is the key factor which brings people together as much as alcohol and drugs are. For me,
music
 is an instrument which helps to order my thoughts and feelings.
