CANDIDATE

The first time that I heard about a band by the name of Afghan band, they were very, I mean, they don't rock players. They are like playing soft music or, for example, they are playing different kind of music. And their leader was Muhammad, but I think nowadays it's someone else leading them and they are playing. It's a famous band in our country and we love them and they're. They sing different, they play different music. And I think it makes someone to be relaxed when you hear about them. The first time that I heard their song, I mean, I was 40 or 30 years old, and I heard about them. Then I heard about them, their music, and I became their fan. When I hear their song, I try to sing with them, and it makes me very relaxed and comfortable, especially when you study hard or something else. or when you do hard job. After that, when you listen to that band, it makes you relax and be comfortable. Especially, I love to hear their music before sleeping because it makes me to be comfortable and be relaxed.

Okay. Do you think it's possible to judge someone's personality from their taste in music?

CANDIDATE

According to my opinion, it doesn't mean that we have it like, it doesn't mean when a person loves songs, different kind of songs, for example, rock or pop, they don't show their personality. We can't judge a person by their, for example, clothing or for their body. they're listening, when they are listening to the music, we can do that.

EXAMINER

Perfect. Do you think pop stars can be a bad influence on teenagers? Why?

CANDIDATE

I mean, it depends to the person. For example, at Tunisia, under the age of 14, 15 or 16 years old, it's not allowed because they use a lot of different kinds of different bad words and they don't love that somehow they study something from them and they want to do that. because their brain is not perfectly working in that age and they can't decide what to do.
