Music Got Me Movinnnnn

     Since middle school I have probably went through every single music faze out there. I am so open to music and always make sure to listen to every genre because I usually find my new favorite songs out of it. Discussing music movements in class got me remembering some of my favorites over the years!

Deadmau5

     They were thrown into culture on the list but they are definitely progressive house music. Of course he is from Canada but still, the music definitely fits the house genre and he has created tons of music that can be heard at raves and parties because he is able to get people into his music. The beats he creates range and he is a guy you rarely see without his signature mouse mask. He also got Shigeru Miyuamoto to autograph his arm and then later got it tattooed. That makes him ten times cooler that he takes inspirations from video games.



The Cranberries

     A 90s Irish rock band that is still relevant in this days music. There music is able to touch me in ways not much music can mostly cause Dolores O'Riordan has a beautiful voice. Usually guys don't listen to music sung by girls but no one can deny they have released great songs! I wish there were more bands like this instead of the pop we have today.



Radiohead

     Another amazing 90s band and it is still one I listen to today and it's great because they are still around! Although they are a rock band, they have added a lot of experimental elements into their songs putting it into a league of their own. Rolling Stones even rated the 2nd best artist of the 2000s.



Vitamin String Quartet

     Literally just started listening to this group today! That is super strange. They are a gifted violinist group that remixes songs from any genre. They actually come out better than the real versions! They create the beats and lyrics all through the violins. There are no lyrics but they are able to create the sound through the strings. They are my new study playlist and show that the violin is still a work of art!



Hatsune Miku

     Anyone who doesn't call this music is crazy! Hatsune Miku is a Vocaloid created by the Japanese which people are able to program in lyrics and and the way they are sung. Even though it is not a real voice, it sure does sound like it. Since then, Miku has become a pop icon in Japan and is slowly making  it's way around the world. It is a revolution in technology and music itself knowing that people aren't the only ones to sing. She has spawned many video games too on the Playstation family and came out with one in the US last year. The games are decent but it's the music and the Vocaloids that sell it. I really need to go to her concert!
