Favorite Type of Music


     Music has been a big part of my life. As a pre-teen middle school age I listened to mostly pop music. This was when my family and I lived in El Paso, TX. This was when I as well had a big stereo, I had a favorite stereo station that I listened to all the time, and you guessed it! it was pop music this was back in the early 2000's. I listened to pop music in Spanish. This was in my unpopular opinion when pop music was better the music, and lyrics told a story and in some way a meaning and such. Maybe I am being biased because I don't listen to pop music anymore. There are a few pop songs that I like in English as well. Jessie McCartney was my crush back in middle school, and of course you cannot go wrong with old school Christina Aguilera music, and YOU will never go wrong with Britney Spears because no one hates Britney in my opinion. One of favorite songs back then was 'Milkshake by Kelis' I did not know what the song insinuated back then until I listened to it again a few weeks ago and oh my goodness! Either way I still like the song anyway another favorite song of mine was 'Going Down by Young Joc' and do not give me wrong I still like it. I listened to it a few days ago on YouTube. Now 8th grade is when I started discovering about rock music, and I started liking it, the first rock band I liked and discovered was Good Charlotte. The one cd I owned from them back then was The Chronicles of Life & Death. It was one of my favorite albums I'm not going to lie. Then right when I started high school is when I started to discover more about rock music now called 'emo' music, but I'm not even mad about it. I embrace being an 'elder emo' now. I remember when I first discovered My Chemical Romance, I feel in love with the band, and had the biggest crush on Gerard Way. I believe I first heard of them when I heard Helena, and that was one of the song's I listened to them most. The main band I listened to and still do to this day is My Chemical Romance, but other than them I also listened to Seether, Simple Plan, Halestorm, Theory of a Deadman, and of course The Used. Little by little I was being introduced to heavier rock music, aka black metal, trash meal, etc. I was introduced to In This Moment by my boyfriend then. They are one of my favorite rock/metal bands that is fronted by a woman and let me tell you that Maria Brink is a lot more gorgeous in person, nicer and kinder than you think. I saw them live a few years back, I enjoyed my time at the concert very much so. Shinedown is another that I listen to and they were my first concert that I went to see at 19. 

    So all in all my favorite type of music since middle school has been rock & 'emo' music. I don't think it'll change any time soon.
