Genres Of Music Video's.

Different Types Of Genres

In this blog I am going explore and investigate the different genres of music. Explaining their  differences, and what my chosen genre for my music video is going to be and why I chose to explore this genre.

Genres and What They Are:

Pop: Pop music is a type of music that primarily is popular with many people. Its usually played on electronic instruments, it mostly consists of short songs with a strong beat and simple tunes that are easy to remember.  

Rock: Rock music is developed from rock 'n' roll, it uses a heavy regular beat, electric guitars, singing and a tune that is easy to remember- and easy to dance and sing along to.

Indy: Indie music isn't a definite style of music, but most indie bands are influenced by each other causing a similar sound. the sound is melodic, the instruments are simple but well textured. it usually includes a simple but original guitar riff, another guitar riff layered to complement it, bass doing the same, simple drum beat (but fitting the song well) either a keyboard or violin or something to bring out the underlying melody, and soft vocals that are harmonised. Indie music is soft and it flows, its not harsh or "jumpy" it flows with each other very well. 

Alternative Rock: Alternative rock emerged in the late 80's and early 90's. Alternative rock came from rock- but with a added twist of having the "do it yourself" bands. Alternative rock is conformist attitude; that's why its "alternative".

Punk: Punk music came from rock music, its a loud, fast music, aggressive type of music- more so than rock music. 

Indie Pop: Indie pop is lighter and more light hearted then pure indie, the indie pop is mixing the light hearted popular pop music with the soft farm sad music that is indie. 

Soul: Soul music is music that incorporates elements of rhythm, blues and gospel music. The vocals are very deep and "soulful" they are very good and quality singing, to be a soul artist is very hard as its singing from the deepest part of your lungs. 

R & B: Rhyme and blues, a mixture of them both. They are quite soulful and can also included soft rap.

Rap: Rap is powerful, fast and point proving.

There are many different genres of music, but these are the genres that are most popular. For my video the genre that I have chosen is Indie Pop, the artist that I have chosen prefers Pop music and her song has been very popular in 2013 and still in the charts 2014. Although this song isn't like the "perfect" songs that are also in the charts making the song indie as well, therefore my song is Indie Pop.
