Genre

We all know genre means a kind of music. The very word itself means 'kind' in French. There are many genres such as country, jazz, pop, hip hop and so on.

A genre of music that I am a huge fan of which is written by Coldplay is alternative rock. I have never listened to Coldplay music in my life but one day, I walked into my apartment after getting home for the university to the song "Gravity". Instantly, a sense of calmness washed over me. I felt so relaxed. I think it is great music to play when you are just laying down after a long day of work or when you are on a road trip. It's slow pace makes you feel, floaty and dreamy. This type of music is the best for when you're at home alone and need something to fill up the silence in the house.

The main stream music now, is mostly club songs and dubstep music, which in my opinion should only be played in clubs. There is a time and place for each type of music. Music influences how you do things. For example, when you're working out in the gym it would be easier when you listen to upbeat music. The fast beat influence the way you do things. It is proven in research that people who listen to upbeat music tend to drive faster while listening to it. We tend to keep up with the pace of the music. If we are working out, it increases the intensity and speed of your work out.
