Hey everyone! Today I was thinking about starting an offtopic weekly discussion where we talk about random things besides the forum and MakeCode. This weekās topic is:
What kind of music do you like, whoās your favorite performer or artist ?
Feel free to share your answers and discuss music tastes, you could even link a playlist to demonstrate a point. Personally, I love alt metal and rock music, itās just so powerful! Iām open to listening to any other genres. Except K-POP. Iāll never listen to K-POP
The old alternative rock my dad loved and showed me which made me love it
The most absolutely garbage popular pop music from the 2000ās and 2010ās because who doesnāt love nostalgia?
My favorite song would be Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes! Its one of my dadās favorites and my first ārealā song I played on my drum set : D
Your style is really similar to mine! I love metal and rock like I said already (Linkin Park is my absolutely favorite) but I have a whole playlist on my Spotify just called āNostalgiaā which is full of '00s to '10s EDM and party songs. I canāt explain it, but it brings some kind of nostalgia in me despite the fact I wasnāt really partying or anything at the time of their debut.
Anyway, my music taste is quite varied. It goes into about 4 categories.
Bedroom Pop
This is mainly just BoyWithUke music; I usually listen to it when Iām feeling down. A few of my favourite BoyWithUke songs are Heart of Ice, Out of Reach, and idtwcbf (friends). Please mind that there is occasional foul language in his songs.
VGM (video game music)
This is mainly just Zelda music. Yeah, I like Zelda.
Soccer music (Electronic Pop)
Honestly, the genre is very varied in this category. Itās just a bunch of soccer-related music such as Ramenez la coupe Ć la maison by Vegedream and Waka Waka by Shakira. I have a playlist on Spotify named āsoccer powerā to get my brain in the zone for matches.
Romantic ballads/Slow songs
Makes me feel better about myself Jokes aside, I donāt know, I like the feeling or vibe they give me. Calm, soothing and the sobbing you hear every once in a while. My favourite songs in this category include Dos Oruguitas by Sebastian Yatra, try by Sami Rose (cover of P!nkās song), Until I Found You by Stephen Sanchez, Talking to the Moon by Bruno Mars, and Golden Hour by JVKE.
The music I listen to is primarily based on my mood (I mean whose isnāt?) so I wouldnāt rank these categories. All are number 1
I love the idea of a weekly tropic discussion to learn more about the forum users, by the way!
Read my āi donāt likeā list at your own discretion! I might hurt your feelings if you are offended easily
I personally donāt like metal, rock, K-Pop, J-Pop, and anime music. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.
Honestlyā¦
⦠Electronic music sounds like background music to me, nice for a game or show or exercise or something, but as a genre? I dont get it 0_0
Oooooh yees! Finally, I have a place where I can rant about the awesomeness of my favourite composersā music!
Ok, my favourite composer is Yoko Shimomura, and she makes some of my favourite songs OF ALL TIME! She composes music for Kingdom Hearts, my favourite game series! (Even better than Kirby: thatās CRAZY coming from me) Iāll only show my top 3.
Here are my favourite songs from Yoko so far:
Darkness of the Unknown: My favourite song to this date, has three phases to the song (last phase is my favourite). This plays during the battles against Xemnas in Kingdom Hearts 2. Itās AMAZING.
Disappeared: This chilling theme was used the first time Sora encountered Xemnas, in Kingdom Hearts 1. He was an optional boss at the end, commonly known as āThe Enigmatic Manā. If you hadnāt noticed, Xemnas is my favourite character! He looks like this:
And hereās the song:
Vanitas battle theme: This theme is just controlled chaos. Itās so, so, so, so, so, SO, SO, SO good. This plays in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, during the Vanitas fights. Itās a fusion of Roxasā theme, Ventusā theme and Soraās theme. Here it is:
I love the idea of random weekly topics.
I also like classical music, though some more recent instrumental pieces (I dislike most lyrics) that sound similar are cool. I donāt like too modern of music but I can understand why some people might like it. I donāt listen to music a ton though, sometimes I block out all sound and prefer silence, or use stuff like white noise to drown out the chaos.
My favorite music genres are Pop and Alternative.
My favorite artists are Imagine Dragons and Surfaces.
My favorite song is probably Sail Away by Surfaces.
