Hello everyone and welcome back to the blog! Today I wanted to do another Top 5 list and this time I wanted to take a look at something a little different...my Top 5 music genres! These are of course my own taste and if you like these or don't this is not a judgement against you or anything, I just felt like talking about my favourite types of music! So, without further ado let's dive into the list!
No 5 - Classical/Jazz
So, I may be a weird kid, but I grew up not always listening to the latest hits (except when they played on the radio) and really I loved lyric-less music where I could read a book and have music playing in the background. It was just such a peaceful existence in my opinion. Classical I certainly loved Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and Tchaikovsky, but almost any orchestral music was good to me. Jazz on the other hand was (and sometimes still is) great to listen to for just chilling and relaxing. These two go together because in a way, that have a similar vibe in my opinion, it is all about the instruments.
No 4 - Post-Grunge/Grunge Rock
This really goes out to the 2000s kid in me! I am not really into 90s grunge (Nirvana and all that), but I am certainly into late-90s, early 2000s grunge and grunge rock! We are talking the likes of Nickelback, Default, Skillet, Evanescence, Hoobastank, Gob, Alien Ant Farm and so many others from that era. Where some people in their mid-20s grew up with their parents playing Elvis, ACDC, Metallica and what not in the house growing up, I grew up with this type of music. It will always have a place in my Top 5 and really has only been beat out because other, newer genres have eclipsed it in my mind.
No 3 - Modern Pop Music
I do not keep up with all of the latest trends, but eventually they do get to me and I find quite a few songs that may have been popular a couple of years ago, but man are they bangers or what! I love 90s-2010s pop because in a way I feel that it keeps the vibe of happy, dance music and something that you can just listen to over and over again on repeat for hours. This is just something I have fallen in love with. Yes...there are 80s pop songs that are quite good, but I just am not really a fan of the 80s, it all starts really around 1995 for me haha! Hopefully the 2020s can keep that going, I have yet to find a song since 2020 that hit that same vibe, but I know I will.
No 2 - Nu Metal
I am such a fan of Nu Metal! I understand all of the metalheads out there scoffed when they saw this, but honestly Bullet for My Valentine, Avenged Sevenfold, Disturbed and My Chemical Romance are fantastic! Fell in love with these bands from playing a lot of EA Sports games (and still do) and this is just where the love of a Nu Metal soundtrack comes from! This was for sure more of a 2010s thing for me, but I have to say it still beats out everything except for the number one entry, which is also the newest genre on the list.
No 1 - Low-fi/Chill Step
This one is very similar to the number 5 entry on the list. It is about the sounds not so much about lyrics. I can put on any Chill step playlist and really just relax and read or think or play games or literally do anything without the music doing anything but setting a vibe. This genre emerged back around 2013-2016 and is going strong in some places now, but it is the slower variant of Dubstep which I also do not mind at times. Low-Fi I discovered around late 2019 and it has already in 3 short years passed all others for me! Gives me the same vibes I got with Classical, but I am keeping modern!
