My Musical Identity





So for those that know me, you know I listen to a wide variety of music along with my attempts at writing raps. I don't express this here commonly, but I have made attempts at writing your average song about a sore heart, of course like my freestyles I don't write them down I just let them out as a spontaneous outburst of passion. But I have a reason for being a fan of such a variety of music. Because I identify with the expression of anger, love, sadness, regret, etc. All those negative things that I happen to feel too. It just shows because I hate to listen to pop songs and mainstream music because there is no expression. Of course I can't listen to screamo most of the time because I can't understand the lyrics. Although there are some songs I listen to for the rhythm and chords more often than to pay attention to the lyrics. But most I listen to for the lyrics, I mean half the time I'll start singing along while it's playing that's got to show something. And pop music can be good and all but I think stuff like pop and things by groups like LMFAO should be saved for clubs where it's more appropriate. And while I predominately listen to rap and rock I listen to metal and other forms of hip hop enough also. My decision for what to listen to, and probably yours without knowing it, is based off of my overall happiness. I mean when I'm madder at myself I listen to some pretty heavy rock. Like earlier albums from Papa Roach, Atreyu, Avenged Sevenfold, Three Days Grace, etc. But when if I feel normal it's rap like Hopsin, Eminem, Bad Meets Evil, G-Eazy, etc. And feeling in an overall happiness I listen to mostly punk rock like Blink 182 and Sum 41. But other types of music I commonly listen to are grunge and alternative. It's just I'm a rocker and a rapper. This is purely because they are some of the purest expressions you can find of passion and emotion. I doubt that Young Money can say that Bed Rock was influenced by some orgy they had or something that made them realize they love each other a lot. I mean like seriously, when you get to the music biz almost everyone gets corrupted by the fans, but at least most of them retain the ability to produce legit, passionate songs. It's cause of the way I identify with music that I wish that they still did Anger Management Tour. I don't know if there are plans to do another one but the most recent one was in 2005. But I'm really hoping that my friends want to go to Uproar, I don't like to go to stuff like that by myself. The bottom is just going to be a gallery of some of the artists that I tend to listen to a lot more often than others. I tried to make it into some fancy fit but it didn't work as well as I'd hoped. (I managed to fit most of them on the side doe.)
