2. POP
The term Pop originally came from the word 'popular' showing that it
is one of the most well known genres around. I enjoy the genre myself
also, because I feel that it is quite broad in terms of the music within it,
whether this is the pace of the song or the melody of it there is always
a song for your mood. Pop music draws thousands of listeners
worldwide with the main UK charts mainly devoted to this genre.
My love for the genre has partially stemmed from my Girlfriend.
She began listening to this kind of music (Katy Perry/Lady Gaga) I
guess I just got used to listening to this type of Music and found it
amusing.
The type of Audiences that’s listen to POP music are
young who don't want to make an effort to look for good
music. Some of them actually like the music, but most
of them are just following the crowd.

3. It seems that most people enjoy Music that only consists of
repetitive, and the same notes, over and over again.
Mostly Teenagers tend to listen to POP Music, Since they build
their taste according
to the fashion, They prefer Music that’s not too loud or Hard to listen, They
like Music that they can get addicted to and as we all know POP Music is
an ideal example for that
They also enjoy "Rhyming Words", since it apparently has a nice "Beat" to
it whether it makes any sense or not. is probably because of Peer
Pressure, The Neighborhood that they are in, or probably hear a name of
a song at school or something.

4. Now There are types of POP Music
The most common one is Country POP, Girls tend to listen to Country
Pop Songs because it is easy listening, fun to dance to and you can
usually find a good pop song you like to listen to get you in a good
mood. Most people are too lazy to find Underground bands so they
simply turn on the radio or turn on MTV and there is music for them. What
their friends recommend them at school. After listening for a long time it
embeds into their mind and passes as "good music" and if introduced to
a new genre most of the time they will ignore it simply for being different
and stick to theirs.
The Ideal example of Country Pop is a song performed by American
recording artist Taylor Swift. It was released on April 21, 2009.
The song contains many pop music elements and its lyrics have Swift
desiring an out-of-reach love interest.

5. ROCK
Music is something that every person has his or her own specific
opinion about. Different people have different taste, and various types
of music have many ways of leaving an impact on someone. It can
be relaxing, angering, soothing, energizing, and many more.
TEENAGER Boys Prefer listening to Rock Music as they find it a little
manly and the fast tracks just keep them going.
Most teens like mainstream music such as Wiz Khalifa , Rihanna. But
also people artist like Kendrick Lamar are admired often. Rap and hip
hop seems to be what most teens like well male teen some females
also. For girls they usually like J Cole , Wale, Miguel, Rihanna, Cheryl
Cole, Maroon 5.

6. Rap and Rock music are two very important types of music
in the world. They both send out different messages and help
kids. The lyrics sung or rapped by the artists can be things
going on in their own personal lives, and people with the
same types of problems can listen to them so they know their
hope and their people like this out there in the world.
But as I said choices and tastes vary in every different
direction of the world, Some people might even be
annoyed by a song you
love the most, And some
might find it just okay but
according to a lot of
research girls sometimes
tend to find ROCK music
too loud and annoying.

7. TRANCE
Trance is a genre of electronic dance music that developed in
the 1990s in Germany. It is characterized by a tempo of
between 110 and 150 beats per minute,
Trance refers to an induced emotional feeling, high, euphoria,
chills, and uplifting rush listeners experience. A characteristic of
virtually all trance songs is the soft mid-song breakdown.

8. Most of the people don't like Trance Music because they do not
understand it. Trance isn't for everyone, like Lady Gaga is or rap music
is. Trance is a little bit more special, and it requires a certain IQ to be
understood.
People listening to Trance music are usually peaceful and happy that's
what Trance provides you happiness and joy. Just go to a Trance
concert and see. After that, compare it to a rock or rap concert.
People who listen to TRANCE are either people who look for crazy stuff
to do or couples who like to party.
Choices may vary in every particular situation, even Romantic Adult
people find Trance music entertaining .

9. METAL
Heavy metal music, born fighting, rose out of popular music
in opposition to both the dominant culture and the
rock counterculture. Its heritage was equal parts the
heavy guitar rock that replaced the blues, progressive
rock and the neoclassical sounds of horror movie music. Its
name, composed of "heavy" meaning epic and having
emotional weight outside the individual, and metal,
meaning the gritty mechanical truth of reality, signified its
sound and message: a wake up call to hippies and
bourgeois listeners alike that reality is not the simplified,
individualistic, pleasure-seeking consumerist illusion.

10. Low-fi neo-progressive rock from the late 1960s started this
genre, in the form of Black Sabbath, who used power
chord riffing and dark modalities to express the paranoid
nihilism which was a sublimated counterpoint to the
dominant impulse toward simplistic absolutism ("peace"
and "love") of the time. Originally a blues/rock band, Black
Sabbath became a proto-metal band with morbid and
yet poetic songs, evoking for many a return to European
Romanticism of several centuries before. Cataclysmic and
industrial in its use of gritty organic textures, heavy metal
went through several stages including excesses of
commercial stadium rock before
returning to its roots in alienated and
rough but majestic music.

13. HIP HOP
Hip hop music, also called hip-hop, rap music, or hip-hop music, is
a music genre consisting of a stylized rhythmic music that
commonly accompanies rapping, a rhythmic and rhyming speech
that is chanted. It developed as part of hip hop culture, a
subculture defined by four key stylistic elements.
While often used to refer to rapping, "hip hop" more properly
denotes the practice of the entire subculture. The term hip hop
music is sometimes used synonymously with the term rap
music, though rapping is not a required component of hip hop
music; the genre may also incorporate other elements of hip hop
culture, including DJing and scratching, beat boxing,
and instrumental tracks.

14. Most musicians try to get their music heard by everybody.
Record labels however want to make the target audience
teenaged, usually white, rich kids because they are usually
the ones that spend the most money buying music, majority
of which is heard through the radio.
Lets face it, its mostly the wealthy 14,15 year olds who ask
their mothers for money to buy music. No, true fans of music
buy music too, but the majority of the music bought is from
these wealthy kids.
Rap is a fairly big genre, there's different types of rap music
that will appeal to different people, but the majority of it
appeals to males, as it's also a particularly male dominated
genre.
