Favorites
If I’m to be perfectly honest, I don’t have many favorites. Sure I tend to like some genres over others and green will always be my favorite color, but I like a myriad of things.
Favorite music genre is both specific and not; it honestly depends on the mood I’m in or what I’m doing. I will forever harbor an appreciation for classical music, especially movie scores. There is nothing like solving a complex Calculus problem with the Superman soundtrack playing in the background, I promise. But on the complete opposite side of the spectrum, alternative rock is my go-to genre any time of day. I was raised with groups such as The Red Hot Chili Peppers when my mom played them in the car, and I endured heavy metal when my brother went through that phase. So my all-time favorite bands are somewhere in between the two: Muse and 30 Seconds to Mars. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve belted out the lyrics to, “Call Me Maybe,” too many times to count, but it’s the raw voices and guitar solos of alternative rock that will always consume my ipod.
