What Is Your Favorite Genre Of Music?

@TheAnimeLogician Was not sure if the DAW question would come up.

I use a free app Music Maker Jam (I've tried it on mobile it's ok, the outdated but functional enough PC version I use). It's not great. It's one of those more you experiment for fun then a 'serious' one many would recommend of course.

The company has a more technical one but I couldn't get into it and the garbage free trial 1 use was just so bad I went nah.

I have never used Ableton, FL, Repear or others. I know of them but I don't know about free tiers/trial and I don't have the skills to use them. I should move onto those types and if free or more basic then their level of complexity one of these days.

I am not music educated at all by the way, had some artists see my stuff and had to explain that to them.

I just pay attention to music very closely for fun. XD Same with game design, same with other things. I don't over analyse everything but sometimes you just can't help it or probably ask why do I like this song, book, game, etc. or what you may think works and why it does. Or just experience it and move on that works too. XD

Like I don't go the whole oh I know a game designer/composer/programmer and so on or the same as anime fans that know and follow the staff's work either. I don't do any of that. I may know or hear of key ones that appear in interviews but that's about it I don't go 'that' deep.

Here is many of my works on my 2 YT channels for what sort of odd stuff I've done over the years. I haven't had any ideas in my mind transferred to the app but I usually just go with what I think sounds cool and sometimes inspired by songs I listen to (sometimes in a bad way to 'replicate' them with other samples so those ones are bad but the inspiration but still making it my own ones work).

Not intending on just selling myself here it just furthers the points I'm trying to make in the post. XD

Some are on my Soundcloud but I usually keep it for likes/playlists then uploads due to how the free accounts have limited storage kind of like how cloud services work. So YT is where 99% of my uploads are besides I keep them on my local hard drive as well just encase. The Mp3 not the videos I'd re-download them if need be which have had to do when I lost the MP3s for one era/set or whatever I call them per sample pack mixing periods.

I took a break from it for a while and back at it just not uploaded them. Or publicly at least yet. It did take a bit of getting used to again but eventually found my way back into it.

I don't have any craze towards music since HS. I used to be huge fan of metal. But I need music at times.

Classical, folk, metal, military themes and recently jazz too

- Opera
- Instrumental classical
- Folk metal
- Black metal
- Some industrial metal
- 1930s big band
- Some jazz
- Historical and martial/military music, as in different national and subnational armed forces' and political-factional anthems and marches and such
- Sublime OSTs, of course including those from anime and it's something I only started to truly pay attention to in depth and detail and take extra notice of after becoming aware of it as a phenomenon through/in anime, but doing so made me go back and even appreciate more of certain (live action) film soundtracks too, and some for cartoons, video games, etc.
- Bluegrass
- Some country
- 1960s and 70s soft rock and pop

That about covers it, but my strongest longest-lasting loves are in opera, instrumental/non-operatic classical, folk metal, and black metal (at least if we're leaving aside something like OSTs from entertainment media, which are like their own thing and a world of their own).

But I essentially like at least something or some examples of practically every genre to varying degrees, except like rap, hip hop, and salsa. And most techno too.

Hip-hop is a favorite genre of mine, but not the absolute favorite.

Lately, I've been reading people saying Snoop is a snake, that he was jealous of Tupac (hating on him for 30 years? Prove it!), crying, whatever on social media and that's bullshit. His critics having like 3rd grade English makes their criticism seem more groundless and immature. How about they go back to school? Get out of that ghetto mentality altogether.

They're just hating because he's a prominent figure in hip-hop and he should have been CEO of Death Row long ago instead of that muscleheaded, divisive has-been football player acting hard since the 80s called Suge Knight. Old has-been in general and is as much of a cowardly puppeteer as that other overpaid, convicted has-been from New York that used to be called Puff Daddy (go to hell, you freak! Say goodbye to your net worth you stole from your star performer and no more freaky punkass parties for you, potentially desecrating Christopher Wallace's grave). Two old has-beens responsible for the deaths of their star rappers because of some old California vs New York rap war. Totally their fault and I would never jeopardize my star entertainer's life by any means if I was his manager, producer, etc.

Everyone knows that Snoop is a Libra or had a birthday around last month. It's no huge surprise that Libras are non-confrontational (Tupac was too direct, bold and confrontational, even for his own good) and I know those people. What is a huge surprise is that people still have no idea that media often inflates or twists conflicts between celebrities, especially in a high-stakes environment like the gangsta rap era. Still acting like media sensation never happened. Getting overwhelmingly played, misled, etc by the assumption of make-believe jealousy based on an overblown narrative from journalists or fans looking for drama. Just goes to show you how ignorant as well dense his critics really are (face-palming towards mankind now). They are also too nostalgic over some fallen star rapper for their own good. They need to get that nostalgia out of their heads and use common sense.

In reality, while there were moments of tension between the two, both Snoop and Tupac shared a mutual respect for each other's artistry, and Snoop has often expressed sadness over Tupac’s death (as shown on interviews). That imaginary jealousy that said critics deny is more of a myth rooted in misunderstandings and media exaggeration rather than an accurate portrayal of their relationship. Critics either being totally clueless or just plain retarded.

In general, I have very eclectic tastes in music overall. Sometimes! I listen to the best of rock (I love that fact that some metal bands survived the grunge era where as others aged poorly after the 80s), country, jazz, bubblegum pop, underground hip-hop, J-Pop, etc.

I even try to delve into great music in video games.
