I have been trying to figure out what my music taste is. I know what I like and what I don’t like. But, I never know what exactly to call it. I still really don’t know what to call it. My music taste is so broad and different, there really isn’t a way to put it all under one label.
So, I’m going to discuss the kind of music I like while hoping that whoever is reading this understands what the heck I’m talking about.
I’ve recently discovered that I LOVE music from the 60’s-80’s. Pop and rock mostly. I also love music that sounds like it should be from that era. Tame Impala’s “It Feels Like We Only Go Backwards”, for example, sounds like it should be straight from the 70’s. Another example is my strange addiction to the band ABBA. They’re a popular Swedish group from the 70’s-80’s. They’re most known from the movie “Mamma Mia” since the entire soundtrack (to both movies) was ABBA songs. (Mamma Mia is my favorite movie by the way.)
I also love indie rock/pop music. This genre also includes modern soft rock music. (Arctic Monkeys, The Neighborhood, The 1975, Foster The People, etc.) I’m a huge fan of classic rock, so hearing the genre continued but modernized is just *chef’s kiss*.
Now. Time for my most favorite genre of all time. Pink Floyd. That’s it. That’s the genre. This obviously includes Pink Floyd. But it also encompasses Alice In Chains, Queen, The Beatles, Soundgarden, Audioslave, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, etc.) This genre of music is technically Class Rock, but I call it my Pink Floyd music. (Probably because Pink is my FAVVVV.)
This next genre isn’t really a genre. It’s an artist that I can’t seem to place with any other artists. He has a VERY close spot next to Pink Floyd. And the artist is……..JOJI! I loooooooove Joji so so so so much. He has his own category because all of his music is different, but the same. Like, some of his songs make me want to be a wild teenager while others make me want to sit in a bathtub in a wedding dress and cry. I’m not even married nor do I own a wedding dress but oh well.
And to finish out, my last genre actually has a name that I really think fits it. I call this genre “euphoria and youth”. This genre includes music that makes me want to drive down an interstate in the late evening/nighttime with the windows down. I’d want to be hanging out the window, my hair blowing in the wind, and laughing with friends. This genre could also be described as the “teenage dream”.
Thanks for reading yet ANOTHER blog about music. I really do love talking about it.
Peace out, girl scout 🙂
