How does one simply pick one favorite artist?
I'm famed on Mene for liking Korean pop music, K-pop, A LOT. K-pop isn't just about music.
Before I found K-pop, I was obsessed with a singer named Kerli. She helped me through an interesting point in my life and is part of why I am who I am today. SHE IS SO PRETTY AND SO COOL.
/oh, gosh
/the end there reminded me of a K-pop song.
I like anything that…
gives me pretty mental images,
reminds me of something/someone I like,
brings back good memories,
or makes me want to sing and/or dance.
On the flipside, I can dislike anything that falls into the opposite of those three things.
Pop, be it American or K-pop; techno/dance/rub-a-dub-dubstep/trance/trap/the list goes on/LET'S CALL IT ALL ELECTRO; and rap tend to fall into at least one of those categories. Kid you not, I could go through life describing songs as orange, purple, blue, starry, flashy, et cetera. Some songs are a scene, like a room or a city street at sunset.
I was brought up on rap, so I can like it very much, no matter how uncomfortable the lyrics get.
I consider pop the musical equivalent of "Default" mode, so I'd feel weird if I didn't like it.
Electro is the prettiest. It takes me traveling through infinite spaces filled with colorful lights. Sometimes it reminds me of those gorgeous pictures of outer space. I see whole fantasies, not as a story, but as random scenes I wish I could bring into reality for everyone to see.
Shoutout to Alley Cat for reminding me of that term. Is what I'm talking about in general called EDM? Like, does that term include everything? Anybody know?
VOCALOIDS FTW. MATRYOSHKA!
On the other end, we have rock, metal, that kind of thing. The mental image is messy. Just an unattractive lump of colors and lines. Static. Maybe no colors and just black-and-white. Lack of color is normally okay. I'm just saying what rock makes me imagine. The music doesn't take me into it. It's too messy. We do not become one.
This makes me sad because I want to get into J-rock. J-rock is beautiful, but the music part is not my cup of tea. It seems there isn't much to J-rock besides the music and pictures, unlike K-pop. It's a much calmer industry, I take it. So, big sadfais.
It's a "duh" that I can like anything of any type, but I consistently like or dislike what I've mentioned above.
