My name is Megan Rodriguez, and I am a Broadcast Journalism Major at San Jose State University
I dread the question "what's your favorite type of music"?
My reason being that it's never the same for me. My answer tends to be "well it depends on what I'm doing or how I'm feeling".
It would be impossible for me to tell you what I like to listen to for EVERY emotion or activity I have experienced, so I'll narrow it down to the top 4 for each.
HAPPY: I tend to gravitate toward Funk, and Rock n' Roll (ex. James Brown, or Elvis Presley)
SAD: Some times it’s good to cry. Alternative Rock, Soft Rock, or Acoustic music allows me to do that. (ex. Keep Your Head Up- by Andy Grammer)
MAD: I like to listen to music that will allow me to be angry and then feel better about it after. So Metal, Dance-Pop, or Pop-Rock do the trick. (ex. Strip Me- by Natasha Bedingfield)
LOVE: There are a few specific songs I listen to and they fall into the Folk-Pop, and Jazz genres. (ex. Use Somebody -Tyrone Wells edition)
CLEANING: Pop, Country, Soul-I can sing and dance while cleaning so it’s more like a hobby than a chore. (ex. Amy Winehouse)
DRIVING: R&B, Rap, Reggae, Hip Hop- these songs make the drive an enjoyable experience. (ex. Beyonce)
Doing HOMEWORK: Rock n’ Roll, and Acoustic Rock because the tempo keeps me at a consistent rate of progress. (ex. The Rolling Stones)
EXERCISING: Dance-Pop, and Mix’s to keep me motivated and moving. (ex. Lady GaGa)
Music is Magic
