An open topic I've decided today: Music.
Starting off with a mini history of music genre, trends, and culture. Around the time of the 18th century, classical music was invented. It was full of orchestras and composers, and famous people from then like Mozart and Beethoven. Then in the early 20th century and sometime in the 1900s-- jazz and rock'n roll. It had rhythm and beat to music. Some famous people back then like Elvis Presley changed the symphony orchestras to electric guitars and rock performances. Around the late 20th century, hip-hop came into the music world-- lots of rapping, DJ, break dancing, etc. During this time period, hip-hop was a time for self-expression and expressing issues of inequality, urban life, and more. Pop music also came into the world in the 1950s, bopping and catchy beats to artists like Michael Jackson, The Beatles, and more. With today's present time, K-pop, Indie and other kinds of music are more popular. K-pop (Korean pop music) is known for its catchy tunes, and choreography, indies and other kinds for mini artists or non-mainstream music genres. Some (k-pop) groups are BTS, Blackpink, etc, and (Indie and others) Radiohead, Nirvana, etc.
Where I use music
All I need are my earbuds and my phone with me. Pop and K-pop are my main genres, but I do listen to other genres (using Spotify or YouTube Music). I use music for school, home, and really anywhere I go. For school, I use the pomodoro method (that’s having a fixed set amount of time to do homework and/or study, and a fixed set amount of time for break. An example is 25-5, 25 minutes for studying/homework, and 5 minute break). Also have music to write or get some work (whether it’s for doing some stats/math problems, writing a paper for english/writing class, work on my psychology busting myths journal assignments, etc) done at the library with music as the background sound. At home, it’s pretty similar to when I’m at school— I use the pomodoro method to do my work– sometimes I just blast my music and just work for hours without a break. I get distracted easily and need to focus and get my work all in one sitting most of the time. When I’m not studying/doing homework, I would have a mini karaoke session in my room and just sing away! A way to relax. I also dance while I sing sometimes. Other times I use music in the car, jamming out with my friends while getting to our destination, my sister and I jamming out in the kitchen, on a walk in my neighborhood with earbuds and music on, and wherever else I go, dancing as my workout, going to an actual karaoke place and sing away, and more.
Effects of music on us
Music has so many effects on us! It could create certain moods, relieve stress/depression/pain, bring or make memories, motivation and concentration, understanding us, helping us sleep, connections with others similar taste in music, and just overall a positive effect on everyone's well-being. I relate with everything I listed, because music just understands us and creates happiness and understanding that we, ourselves, might not be able to realize or understand.
