Hello, Cath's here for another Sunday's mini thread posted on a Monday!
I recently have been quite sadden when I heard about the death of the Red army choir and the death of George Michael. I love music, it gives some rythme to my life and I'm sure you like music too.
So, today's topic is... your genre of music!
It's all up to you, what you like and why? What do you listen to? Any exemple?
I'm an alleater, there are a few subgenres that don't rub me the right way, but for the most part I can enjoy anything. This is one of the songs that I'm listening to a lot, for now. ^^
Grew up on the eastside in Oslo with mostly second generation immigrants (prepare for stereotypes), so rap and hip-hop was pretty much 100% of the lyrical diet. Also came to like reggae, the real reggae, not those modern hip-hop tracks with a bit of reggae beats and drums.
If I want to listen something more upbeat I'll go for rap/hip-hop or metal (not gonna state which type of metal, cus I have no fucking clue).
Then there's either reggae or more melancholical music if I'd want it to be chill. Reggae is usually a bit more cheerful, so I tend to go for that.
Also listened to some songs/tracks which I'm not sure what to label.
Example:
But yeah, my taste in music isn't limited to a couple of genres. I also came to like metal by listening to a couple of songs by Deathstars even though I knew I wasn't that big of a fan of it. ^^
Honorable mentions: Gym class heroes and Arctic Monkeys. ^^
I enjoy every genre except country. Just can't stand it but I respect the roots it has in all other music.
Usually I listen to rock or rap but then when the moods right some blues and jazz is perfect.
