i love music part 3 of 3

  • How does your musical style taste differ from your family (parents/siblings) or friends? Discuss your reaction to this type of music and explain why you dislike it, but your family member (or friend) likes it.

I am literally the only person in my family who has my music taste. My sister likes Rap/R&B/Hip-Hop, while I am open to all things. I can't even count my parents because they just like the music from Laos. My sister blares her music from her car, while I like mines quiet in my headphones. We often class on what music we want to listen to, but sometimes we can appreciate why one person likes a certain kind of music. She's introduced me to artists like H.E.R, Kendrick Lamar, Frank Ocean, Rihanna. And I've tried to introduce her to The 1975, Lorde, Neck Deep, Panic! At the Disco. I won't say that I don't like her music, because I do.

I grew up not really finding interest in music. Like, age 7 or 8 I didn't see the appeal in finding music that you like. I guess I would say that my music taste growing up was just whatever was popular and playing on the radio. More recently, I listened to Pop, or what I like to call, Tumblr artists. Because they are the biggest artists that are talked about on there. Tumblr is a place for freaks and geeks who worship people. These artists have a distinctive look or sound that is often called weird, or "white." Melanie Martinez's baby aesthetic, Halsey's teenage/blue/strangely fashionable style. I would be ashamed to tell someone I liked them. Actually, I do like them still, but I have grown to find others more appealing in time. In reality, I can't define my music taste as one singular genre.

WOOOOOO I LOVE THIS PROMPT I LOVE MUSIC

My preferred style of music is probably R&B. But it was just a recent development. My favorite R&B artists are SZA, Jhene Aiko, Her. (I'm just now noticing that these are all female artists im so gay wtf) I used to just like Pop music. I feel like R&B is a genre that is very expansive, and can go from upbeat songs like Bad Blood by NAO; to slow, lamenting songs like Focus by H.E.R. I can't really say why it is appealing to me, it just is. Just sound waves that my brain just happens to like hearing. R&B songs have a vibe that I just like.
