Re: What are your favorite music subgenres?

[(Anonymous)]

Same. I don't listen to genres so much as I listen to songs I like, which are sort of all over the place.

Like, just scrolling down through my playlist, I've got Taylor Swift, Madonna, Linkin Park, Disturbed, Ed Sheeran, Yuna, Niall Horan, Katy Perry, Evanescence, Lindsey Sterling, Three Days Grace, Stevie Nicks, Florence and the Machine, Halsey, Paramore... IDK.

"pop"

you like pop music (and that's fine pop music rules)

OP - I mean, there's definitely a large amount of pop in these examples. Which is cool, I like some pop too. But a lot of these are only pop in so far as they are/were popular. Linkin Park, Disturbed, and Three Days Grace are mainly in the metal/electronic/alternative vein. Evanescence was...trying to be that too? Not sure they succeeded, but ymmv. Stevie Nicks was more classic rock than anything. Florence & the Machine is indie baroque rock/pop if ever I've heard it. And Paramore is alternative punk pop.

If I had to pick two genres for AYRT's music I'd pick pop and metal/alternative, which both have strong presences in the list they gave us. But there's more than a couple of definite outliers in this list as well.

Pop is a broad church. I've never listened to Disturbed but Linkin Park and Three Days Grace fit comfortably within the pop ambit to me, in terms of the songwriting choices. And Evanescence and Paramore are just 100% pop. I think that the definition of pop music has to allow, like, a broad range of different instrumental and emotional affects and genre affectations. And I think that's the best way to understand most of the artists on anon's list, if not all.

I want to be clear that I don't mean that in any minimizing or negative sense. Pop music is brilliant.

I mean, you do you, but I think you're wrong. In fact, I'd say you're just factually wrong. Google "Three Days Grace genre" and "Linkin Park genre" - they're not pop, like, at all. They're popular, but that doesn't make them pop. Pop is a sound and a sensibility. If you disagree with that, if you think pop is some kind of catch-all for music or all sounds and sensibilities that's accessible enough to get broadly popular, then it's no longer a genre at all.

IMO Evanescence is like...49% pop, max. Paramore might be like 65% pop. Again, google the names of these bands plus genre and you'll see that they are not considered "just 100% pop." That's an incredibly simplistic view of genre.

Good for you for not hating on pop. It doesn't change the fact that only like 1/3 of the artists AYRT listed are predominantly pop.

I'm familiar with Three Days Grace and they are most definitely not pop. If anything, I would call them rock/alternative. I would say Linkin Park is the same.

They're both alt-metal, if you want to get persnickety.
