VARIETY OF MUSIC
As mentioned in our introduction, I listen to all kinds of music ranging from Disco/Techno music to Progressive Metal. I am a very open person when it comes to music and so here I am today to tell you guys all about having a large choice of music to listen to. I hope some of you who have something against any of this music will eventually see its good.
EVERYONE'S CUP OF TEA..
Alright, I will start off with music which everyone likes. Even different generations would love to be entertained with these kinds of music. Usually, this type of music is referred to as 'mainstream' by all sorts of social media. The songs we commonly hear today are a little something like 'See You Again' by Wiz Khalifa featuring Charlie Puth. This song has easily achieved 700 million over views on Youtube. This song is made as a soundtrack for the film, Furious 7.
Another song with similar achievements would be 'Uptown Funk' by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars. This song is more upbeat and involves various dances compared to 'See You Again' which delivers a more melancholic feel.
ENGLISH POP
Having only slightly less popular songs than the ones above, these artists still managed to capture hearts and fans from all over the world. One of them which I personally like to listen to is One Direction. One Direction started with their debut studio album called 'Up All Night' which made a huge success and gained them tons of fans. This is one of their recently released songs, 'Night Changes' and my favourite from them, 'You And I'.
CHINESE POP/BALLAD
That is right, this is my favourite genre of music. As a Chinese who is not a complete 'banana', I listen to many Chinese songs. Some of the songs might be very familiar but you just can't recall where it was from or who sang it. That is what Chinese songs are all about, leaving unforgettable tunes in your head. To me, I think that Mandarin is a difficult language but easier to learn if you are interested in the songs involving them. One of the songs I would like to recommend is 'Rhythm Of The Rain' by Jay Chou. Yes, he is given the title as the King Of C-Pop if you didn't know and he even composes his own music, sometimes using band instruments to add a sense of rock music.
Another artist who is almost as famous as Jay is Wang Leehom. Unlike Jay who composes more pop songs, Leehom releases many ballad songs such as 'Your Love', 'Cracked Heart' and so on.
K-POP
I am sure this is not a very unusual topic in the world of music. In fact, the video with the most views and also the first video to obtain one billion views on Youtube is a K-Pop song, 'Gangnam Style'. Ever since the release of that song, many people accepted K-Pop and it eventually grew. I will not talk so much about K-Pop music because it just takes one to listen to it and immediately gather their thoughts. One K-pop song which I would recommend listening to would definitely be 'I Need U' by BTS(Bangtan Boys).
Another song I would like to mention is from a girl group and that is 'Heart Attack' by AOA. #KungKungDae
JAPANESE ROCK
If I have not mistaken, anime is so popular to an extend that everybody has heard of it. Most Japanese rock songs are made to be either a soundtrack, an opening or an ending for an anime. What I personally would say is that one can enjoy the song without watching the anime but to watch and to listen is a thousand of times better. One of the songs I would like to recommend is 'Always In This Place' by Ayane. This song is made as an ending for the anime-film, 'Steins;Gate The Movie'.
ELECTRONIC MUSIC
This will be the last topic I will touch on. This type of music is so popular that some songs are using electronic music without your realisation! Under electronic music lies many different types of genres such as DNB, house, progressive house, drumstep, glitch hop, dubstep(being the most popular) and so on. I recommend listening to 'The Girl' by Hellberg featuring a vocalist called Cozi Zuehlsdorff and 'Truth' by Tristam.
There it is, folks! We have come to the end of this post. Maybe some of you would be wondering why I am not talking about the Metal genre. Well, based on my knowledge, Metal has erupted a lot of controversial issues and is a sensitive topic for discussion. I know Metal music as good as I know the rest of the genres but certain things just cannot be said. Anyways, the next time you see my music playlist in my phone, I can assure you that it is just like entering a library with the largest variety of books possible. That is all for now, thanks for reading this long post. Here is a kawaii potato.
