There are of course some genres I don't like, but I've yet to find them. The main genres I listen to are metal, EDM, so that's like hardcore, uptempo, drum and bass, those kinds of music. I love pop, rock, indie, Dutch rap mainly. Sometimes Dutch music is fine too. Those are the main genres I listen to. I listen to a lot of music, but sometimes I can't listen to it. For example when I'm at school or at work. The further I'm nearly always listening to music. When I shower, when I go to school, when I eat, when I travel, when I do homework. Always. Some of my favorite artists are De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig, Doemaar, Reaper, he makes drum and bass. Metallica, they make metal-ish music. Slipknot, they make metal. Rammstein, also metal. Slayer, also metal. But those are just a few artists of many. So you could say I am well-teached about my music knowledge. I love a lot of different genres. We know that now. But why, I don't know. I think it depends on my mood. Because when I'm in the shower I like to listen to EDM or when I'm traveling to school at 7 in the morning I like to listen to pop or hip-hop or rock. So it really depends on where I am and with who and those stuff. Then I have some songs. But looking at the time I don't have time for that. So I chose Ignemi May from Gersh Pardoe. The song is about a love story. And why I love it is because the music, the instruments just fit really well and the lyrics with the music just perfect. I like it. I can sing it all the way through. I've known it for all my life. So that's why I like it. And it's a bit of Dutch rap. Then I chose Smorgeliefd from Dumar. And I've known that not that long. I got to know it from TikTok I think. But I chose this because at the ending there's two voices singing at the same time and sometimes not aligned. And I like that a lot and I think it's quite an older song. Then Major Tom from Peter Schilling. It's a German song and I chose it because I just love songs in different languages. For example Polish or Spanish, Dutch, English, German. I love it because it's just stuff I don't know but it sounds good. And for this song in particular I chose it because the beginning is just amazing. Then I chose Eyeless from Slipknot. It's a very different genre. It's metal. And I chose it because of the drummer Joey Jordanson. He's an amazing drummer. I think he's dead but I'm not sure. And he just rocks. He's insanely fast and he can just turn the best. That's why I like metal in general. Then I have Release the Kraken from Destructive Tendencies, Warfare and Sefa. It's a hardstyle, hardcore song. And I like it because it pushes me further in the gym so I can lift more and stuff. And it just releases energy when I'm with friends or in the shower or something. These songs represent me because I listen to them a lot and it just makes me who I am. But some songs are quite new to me like Smorvelief from Dumar. I've known that for two months I think. And I don't really have guilty pleasure songs because everyone can know what I listen to. I don't really mind. But yeah, that was my Music is Identity project. And I'm sorry I didn't put the songs here but I've already gone past time. Have a nice day.
