Let's say this: the music you like tells a lot about you. Some music is uplifting, while other music is not. Certain music is harsh, yet that does not mean it is not music.

Usually, it is music not to our liking. Music can break up thought form in a society. For example, look at music of Elvis Presley and the Beatles. At first, the media made fun of it. That soon changed.
Teens' music is sure to offend parents, and vice versa. Music, like anything else, becomes very negative when we try to push our tastes off on others - like blaring our music in public. And yes, many people do serious harm to their ears by playing music too loudly through headsets. That is a very negative side of music - though of volume and not of kind.
