My Least Favourite

HEAVY/ DEATH METAL SCREAMO!!! It's not that I don't respect the fact people are able to and have the talent to make that kind of music it's just that I can't stand it..Mainly for the reason that I can't relate to it and it's too loud, blunt, scary, all over the place, and frankly it just doesn't sound good to my ears. As for bands that sound like that, well obviously I'm not gonna listen to any bands that sound like that if I don't like their music, but the one prime example that scares the crap out of me is Otep. When I was shown this band and their music it was the most repulsive thing I had ever heard. I have not heard all of their music so at the moment I am only assuming that they scream through all their songs. Basically the day I'm listening to Otep without holding my ears is the day I'm DEAD! Anyway..moving on, there isn't really any other genre of music that I absolutely hate, only songs by bands that I hate or dislike muchly. As such an example, I definitely don't hate all the music made by Lindsey Lohan, I mainly just hate her. Some of her music sounds pretty good. I would definitely listen to more of her music if I was not watching her sing or if I was completely oblivious to the fact that she was singing, it was her song or that she even existed. But I should probably stop picking on poor Lindsey and focus my attention towards other musical things that I hate. I'd rather not listen to pure techno music, it's not that I wouldn't listen to it, it's just that i'd rather not. To me It is WAY too repetitive. Now I'm not saying I hate repetitiveness, i'm just saying too much can be a bad thing(for me). And that goes for screamo music, It's not that I hate all screamo music, I don't mind a bit of screaming every once and a while, but like techno, too much can be a bad thing(for me). When it comes to country music, like the others, I don't absolutly hate it, it's just that most country music songs sound too much alike. When it comes to rap music, I only hate the message most rap songs present, which is stuff that I don't agree and can't relate with. To say that I don't use some of the music that I hate in my daily life would be a lie, because in some particular cases I do tend to use this music in diffrent ways. Take screamo, I use this music when i'm feeling angry to a point of almost releasing that anger physically. When It comes to listening to country, depending on the song, can be used in various ways. examples of this is I may listen to Brad Paisleys "Whiskey Lullaby" when i'm sad, or take Reba McEntires "I'm A Survivor" I may listen to that song if i'm feeling like I need an ego boost. I may also use techno when i'm feeling like I need to dance or use a bunch of energy. That is basically all I hate about music genres, bands, and how I use those hated things in my day.

My Favourite Music

If I were to pick a favourite genre of music I suppose I would have to pick Rock. Rock music can be used in almost any other genre of music, ex. Country rock, pop rock, jazz rock, etc. This kind of diversity gives me, not only my pure enjoyment of rock, but also the enjoyment and aspect of other genres. With this observation of other genres attached to rock, I become interested in that single genre and usually grow to enjoy it to just under the point of enjoyment of rock. When It comes to bands, I usually try to look past the bands image and only concentrate on the music made by the band. This way I'm able to give my own interpretation of the sound without being influenced in a diffrent way. I guess you could say that I like to live in my own little world where I can make the music to be what I want it to be. I listen to All That Remains, they like to say on stage that they smoke, drink and do pot. I, myself, am against those sorts of things and yet I still listen to their music. Why? because when I listen to and like their music I don't think about the band and all the things I hate about it. I think about all the things that I like about their music. If your wanting to know what bands I listen to hears a sample. 3OH!3, Bowling for Soup, All That Remains, All Thats Low, Brad Paisley, Thousand Foot Crutch, POD, Relient K, All American-Rejects, Incubus, Elton John, Blink 182, Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, Sum 41, Alien Ant Farm, Smashing Pumpkins, Modest Mouse, Linkin Park, Rage Against the Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Wolfmother, Queens of the Stoneage, Queen, Jimmy Eat World, Billy Talent, Cobra Starship, Fort Minor, Muse, MGMT, Metric, Rush, Nirvana, No Doubt, Dragonforce, etc. I could probably go on for a lot longer with bands whose music I like but I don't want to find out the word limit on this website, so... That , in an Ostrich egg, is my favourite music. I feel like I could probably put in more, but I suppose this will have to do for the time being.

What is Music?

In my opinion, Music is anything you want it to be. The only definition that I can create for Music is that Music is anything that sounds good to you. For example, say that I'm listening to a song by Sam Roberts and someone comes up and says that isn't music. The reason behind that is because they don't find Sam Roberts entertaining or enjoyable so they don't consider it music. On the other hand I enjoy Sam Roberts so I consider it to be music. To me, music is any kind of sound that I enjoy. My variety of music enjoyment can be anything from Sam Roberts to Elvis Presley, from Brad Paisley to All That Remains. I even enjoy the classics. The reason for liking most of these diffrent kinds of sounds is because I can relate to them. The other reason for liking these sounds is because they sound good. If I don't like the way something sounds then I don't consider it music. I usually consider it "garbage" which it might not be to someone else. When it comes down to music in my daily life..well..it is my daily life. I can't function without music. Music is my entire universe. Without music I find it very hard to concentrate on most things. I listen to music when I work, when I'm able to in school, when I drive and when I go to sleep. My music is there when I wake up, when I'm getting ready for work/school and it's always in my head constantly going and keeping me headed in the direction I want to go. Without music I couldn't function properly and probably go insane. Music is everywhere, you hear it in school, at home, at your local grocery store and even walking down the street. Although sometimes you may not hear it but to many other people it's there and it's bringing enjoyment to someone.
