Hip-Hop Homework

I'm Hip-Hop Homework--nice to meet y'all's acquaintance!!

Soooo, everybody has a preferred genre of music...like your go-to or the genre that comprises the bulk of your collection because it just happens to be your favorite (generally). This is what you call your music main squeeze.

Then you have all your mistresses, lovers, side chicks, etc.

For me--my main squeeze is hip-hop, but I've been cheating on her a lot with hard rock and lotsa EDM (mostly dubstep) but some bubblegum poppy stuff too.

For example...I've been listening to a lotta Papoose but had Flosstradamus' "Total Recall" (samples Dutch Master's "Recalled To Life") and Sia's "Elastic Heart" in heavy, HEAVY rotation lately.

Today I discovered Margaux - Eyes On You (find the version that has no vocals and is basically like a 4-minute fleshing out of the introductory riff section of the official song. IT'S NASTY! It's Punk Rock...

I'ma music lover period tho. I can enjoy music from ANY genre, except caustic stuff with no melody (think die antwoord) but if there's melody and rhythm to it, there's a chance I could like something from it.




So with all that out of the way, long story short:

Hip-Hop's my main squeeze and my regular mistresses are various Rock pieces, lotsa EDM, and the occasional pop-tart song.

What are y'all's? Feel free to list any recommendations for others. I'll check back for anything I don't recognize from my favorite genres.

My main squeeze is good music, regardless of genre. I kick bad music to the curb.

outta all the pretty girls at the dance we call music...there's gotta be one you dance with the most. Don't be shy...it can be big bertha. All that matters is that she's the prettiest girl IN YOUR MIND!!!

haha

I like your mentality tho...

I bet your report cards as a kid always had that teacher comment "participates in class but DOES NOT FOLLOW DIRECTIONS!"

just ball bustin' and hope you gotta chuckle out of it...don't mean no harm by it.

Dude, seriously. I listen to my albums in alphabetical order because I don't play favorites. If I like it, it goes in rotation. If I don't like it, it gets deleted.

SUGGEST ME AN ALBUM - I'm probably not going to listen to it but I will if you bother me enough.

My main genre would be punk and it's affiliates: post-hardcore, garage, and skate particularly get most of my listening time. My secondary loves are, of course, doom/stoner/sludge metal, blues, and indie/college rock. I've been trying to get more into experimental stuff and post-punk recently, as those were always genres I didn't delve as far as I wanted to in.

Look at the link in my sig for the whole story.

Hip-Hop Homework

bro (assuming)...you have listed so many niche genres. I'm sure I've heard music of the like but damm it if I'm uneducated in all the minutiae that distinguishes one subgenre from another.

brostep? doom metal?

That's why I never got caught up in all the hype of labels...the details get lost in translation. These days, you gotta have a Ph.D. just to keep up...crazy!

I saw you like a li'l bit of everything tho so it's pretty safe to say you're a music lover period!! Kudos--me too!

I think it's smart that you posted your tastes in your sig too...might have to copy you "li'l brother following you like a shadow" style.

Hip-Hop Homework

nice wordplay with the mormon bit tho...

Tristan_Geoff

It gets easier the more you hear, you start to notice similarities between songs. Of course, some of my favorite artists are the oddballs who can't really be classified well under an existing genre tag.

Edit: And yeah, I'm a dude.

Cool, though I'm pretty sure I got my cue from everyone else using their Rate Your Music/Last FM pages, and my current lack thereof. But nice to help you out anyways.

Well my "main squeeze" as you call it would probably be Alternative/Indie Pop, Heavy Metal (many sub genres too many to list), Rock in general (too many sub genres to list) and Electronica (once again too many sub genres). My side pieces would be hip hop and jazz.

I just listen to a whole plethora of musical styles to keep variety in my musical experiences.
