Music

In your personal opinion, what is the greatest genre of music and why?

**Kilgamayan** · 10-10-2006, 11:42 PM

Why is attaching quality to a genre necessary? Songs should be judged on a case-by-case basis.

Moved to media. Certainly not CT, but I'll let Squeek decide its fate there.

Wtf is wrong with you, I like noisecore thank you very much. This highly offends me. Highly.

sonic_13 · 10-11-2006, 03:53 AM

Hmmm I think good old fashioned rock and roll. I'm talking about bands like The Beatles and Led Zeppelin.

The way 3 or 4 guys could just create songs with SO much depth in them amazes me. Classical was great, but many instruments were needed, and I feel that kind of music was matched in the 60's by The Beatles.

(heh... noisecore... ;P )

rap, because the emotions put into lyrics are so vivid.

Eh, it's fine here.

TK_Bakonfat69 · 10-11-2006, 10:16 AM

When you say rap, are you talking about actual rap, or like the crappy (imo) 50 Cent, etc. stuff? If you mean the first, I agree.

I am not really sure what genre this goes into, but anyone know Bright Eyes? I also think there is a lot of emotion in that too.

**TheRapingDragon** · 10-11-2006, 10:25 AM

By far too subjective of a question, even though 8-bit VGM completely outweighs all arguments.

Out of stuff currently being produced, indie. It's a broad genre, I realize, but here's my thinking.

The spirit of rock and roll has always been that of independance and going against the establishment. Indie is that, in genre format, because to qualify as Indie rock, the band has to basically be on their own independant label.

That, and a lot of the indie bands I've been listening to go from rockin' it out, to something incredibly laid back, with lyrics meant soley for their musical sound to stuff with deep meaning.

jewpinthethird · 10-11-2006, 07:15 PM

My taste in music changes, but right now I fine myself listening to a lot of artists classified as Psychedelic-Folk/Folktronic or Baroque Pop. Many of whom are being called members of the New Weird America movement.

The reason I find this genre of music so interesting is because it is based around experimentation. Folktronic in bridging the gap between electronic and acoustic orchestration.

In response to what Laharl has stated, Psy-folk spurred from the indie movement, though personally I think the "Indie" label has been whored and now applies to bands that are mainstream.

YungYung · 10-11-2006, 08:22 PM

I listen to music that 99.99999999999% of the userbase has never heard of before, besides maybe linus.

I listen to mainstream hong kong music, which mostly ranges from being pop, some rock, and some hiphop.

rofl shoot me
