Music can be a magical thing for some and an escape for instance some use it to relief stress. I personally tend to listen to different types of music depending on my mood. For example if I feel emotional I listen to Lofi or slowed down songs. I tend to find myself loving most genre’s and having an appreciation for them. My top genres that I listen to the most are Indie, Lofi, Japanese music, Classical, Acoustic and Rock of all types. However my favourites always change so this may not be accurate in the future. If there are any genres I do not like then I would have to say Pop. I tend to find it can be really generic and uncreative. Not to mention they usually don’t have any outstanding qualities. However alternative pop is usually something I may listen to rarely since it’s slightly better. I think pop music used to be good when artist were more expressive and made music for the love of it.
When I talk to my friends and peers about their music tastes I tend to find it matches their personality. For example when I talk to my introverted friends they are more into songs like Rock/Metal or emotional pop/remix’s.
When I speak to some of my extroverted friends they tend to like Pop or Rap music.
Music taste is a great way to bond with someone and learn about them and find common ground. Its also personal to you and the most powerful thing music can do is bring nostalgia or inspiration.
