Anxiety, one of Generation Z\u2019s most pressing issues, can sometimes be soothed by a favorite song. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a rule, and maybe it doesn\u2019t happen every time, but music seems to have something special that gives you inner strength.<\/p>\n
I think many young people turn to art when they feel that the outside world no longer understands them or, worse, judges them for no reason. I think they\u2019ve grown tired of explaining how they feel, especially to<\/em> I think Oana reminds us of something very important\u2014young people\u2019s fear of being judged for what they feel and the repression of their own emotions. Repression that, in the end, finds its place in music, in an artist\u2019s soul, where you can feel whatever you want without anyone looking at you like an intruder\u2014but as part of the story. Basically, our favorite artists always welcome us with understanding and make us feel like we belong\u2014that we\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n I suppose it\u2019s the way these artists express their more personal feelings and emotions\u2014experiences that young people can relate to. For example, the death of a loved one, that first love that broke your heart and hurt you, a bout of depression, or a rough patch you\u2019ve gone through or are still going through. Often\u00a0 people\u2014or young people like us\u2014can\u2019t clearly express in words, whether written or spoken, everything we feel or go through can be hard, difficult, so the easiest way to get past that pain or get used to it, to become aware of it, is by connecting with something or someone else who was able to say it for you: a song, a poem, a work of art, a painting. Even a book\u2014absolutely any form of expression or art.<\/em> \u2014Iulia, 22<\/p>\n Vulnerability should be a good thing, something to be proud of, something that brings people together and helps everyone in their healing process. It\u2019s hard and uncomfortable, but we have to be brave. I was struck by something. M\u0103d\u0103lina (22) said\u2014vulnerable artists set out on this \u201cjourney\u201d alone, without help. I think that, together with our favorite artists, we can go on this journey together and seek help when we need it. Another beneficial method that supports this entire process is music therapy, which helps you express your emotions and repressed feelings.<\/em><\/p>\n Liu (2025), drawing on the research of Croom (2021), argues that music therapy provides a nonverbal medium through which patients can express repressed emotions, especially those who struggle to articulate their feelings through language. This can foster a deeper therapeutic connection and significantly reduce psychological resistance. It is important to know that we can always return to music, like a warm embrace, Sources:<\/strong><\/p>\n This article was written by Cristina Ungureanu, student.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Anxiety, one of Generation Z\u2019s most pressing issues, can sometimes be soothed by a favorite song.

\na generation that is often not open-minded or doesn\u2019t know how to approach emotionally charged topics. I\u2019m not judging either side. I\u2019m just saying it\u2019s easier to keep your feelings to yourself than to try to explain them. And if you find an artist who sings exactly about your pain, it\u2019s like receiving a hug in the form of a song you can put on repeat as often as you need<\/em>. \u2014 Oana, 28<\/p>\n
