Music itself cannot lower your vibrations, and people tend to think this way due to societal perceptions of music. Regardless of the genre of music you like, difficult and negative emotions tend to be expressed.

To answer this question, we have to actually unpack where this idea comes from. It is said that the lyrics of the music are going to lower their vibrations, but more than often the lyrics are overlooked by the person listening because they just want to listen to music. Some of the songs that they play on the radio have underlying sad messages that you will never notice unless you intentionally look into it. Self expression being limited in the name of high vibrations is actually damaging to the throat chakra, so any benefits you get in the short term will be mitigated by the lack of self expression that you imposed onto yourself. Additionally, that kind of music is usually therapeutic for people with those emotions.

While it technically can lower your vibrations under certain circumstances just don’t even worry about it, because being paranoid about this stuff also lowers your vibrations worse than if you just did nothing. Art cannot be sanitized to get rid of negative emotions or things because then it would not be art. The world is full of things that lower vibrations but we just need to deal with it.
