What Type Of Music Moves You Most?


Country music holds a special place in my heart.

The stories. The imagery. The rural working class grounding and populist appeal. The intentional embrace of simplicity and a lack of sophistication.

It is the music that most closely represents the values and emotional ethos of the culture in which I grew up. (Rural Kansas)

And therefore is able to tap into a part of me that most music never hits.

This is the music of my home.

I'm sure many have their own music styles that function similar for you, hitting your soul in a way no other quite can.

Maybe it's country too? Or maybe something else. Feel free to share!

Mostly exaggerated music, they make me feel all the dramatic experience

They usually are progressive/alternative stuff.

 

[RandAlThor]

Music that lifts me up(gospel, church, Christmas, Country , Bluegrass, pop). Builds me up. Cheers me up.(pop)
Music that helps me be a better me. Soaring might be a solid term






opps went over 2 ill stop.

Indie-alternative music from the mid-80s/early-90s that I could hv access to in S.E.A. then like Suzanne Vega, R.E.M., Tori Amos, Nirvana, even some (for awhile) Alanis Morrissette{she seemed like indie/alternative to me then}, even Britney n Avril Lavigne for a short time{Edit-OT}[you don't know wat it's like to live in the arid (metaphorical) desert of S.E.A. in the 80s/90s looking for stuff I liked. It was so empty of the music I found in UK in '94. I bought remaindered cassettes for 50p n played them constantly (like how I'd stream SNSD/Gfriend/Everglow now, maybe). Later in the 2000s I got into newer indie/alternative singer/songwriters like Rachael Yamagata n Vienna Teng but smh it wasn't the same even tho I got to see them in concerts in S.E.A. Even Suzanne Vega came by to perform. Slowly lost touch with it ard 2015/2016. Then I started stanning SNSD in mid-2018, n I barely listen to the above much anymore. (I really wanted to get into Jane Siberry just from listening to her song from the crow movie but never could get her cassette albums then n don't bother to buy the crow cassette soundtrack, a pity; years later I saw the best of compilation cd set at borders but don't buy it then. Still regret it. But not as much now.)
I just like intensely personal, to me, music that moves me. This may or may not explain why I listen to kpop.

probably musicals

 

[Darkseid]

Guns N'Roses, RHCP, early Metallica, Led Zep among older bands. I listened to only rock for years, but not into heavy metal (Iron Maiden being an exception), death metal and stuff. I do like progressive rock as well, and psychedelic.

Outside that genre, I really love Daft Punk and Gorillaz.

And lately, anything with 80s synth puts me in a great mood. It's part of why I love April's Oh My Mistake and Dalshabet's Someone like you so much.

Rage Against The Machine is a greaaaaat choice.


What's your favorite band of all time!

That was quite eloquently-stated. I don't care much for country myself, but I have total respect for your devotion to it. And that actually makes me want to not lurk for once and comment...

Even though I was born and raised outside of Europe, I belong to it heart, mind, and soul. It's been that way for me most of my life. European music makes me feel at home and at peace and like someone out there in the world understands me. Of course, Europe being an entire continent full of a wide variety of different musical genres and such means that I can't list everything I listen to, but...

I think this song does a good job of capturing a lot of the things I love, in general...

Oh I love this. Especially the instrumentation.

Any particular region of Europe that holds most dear for you?

 

[Evergreen]

R&B ballads

 

[Jichuus]

Hmm Spanish (Mexican to be specific) ballads and the occasional mariachi song too; I was raised listening to classics. Sadly don’t know their names by heart. Tbh ballads and 80/ music makes me emotional. Italian music is pretty too.
