What music should you listen to? 1/2

Hello Steemians,

Today I am going to tell you the music I think it is worth listening to! :) This is the beginning of the music topic, this is why it will remain more general.
Firstly, I am going to first describe you the evolution of my music taste. After that, I am going to introduce the criteria that I believe determine if the music is worth listening to or not.
P.S. Just to specify, this article is about my beliefs and obviously, anyone can have different beliefs and I would never blame anyone who has different criteria or different music taste. (even if they listen to Justin Bieber and nothing else... I think)
P.S.2 I am not going to list all the bands and music I listen to because there is just too much to write it all down.

Rock

I believe I went through a lot of phases and I can say that what made me really get into music is Rock. I was about 10 years old when I bought my first CDs and this is what made me interested in music. Music became a passion for me, I got into playing guitar (even though I soon realized it was not as easy as planned). I went to some concerts and I talked music with my friends all the time.

This period gave me a lot, the love of rock, some metal, and punk. My first concert was Linkin Park in 2008, I was about 11 years old (I wasn't in the pit at that age obviously). 2 years later, I went to see Slipknot in live. (I am going to talk more about concerts below). My favorite band was Sum41, I listened to some Green Day, Nirvana and more. I still like most of the bands I listened to and enjoy listening from time to time to that music.

Dubstep and some electronic music

While still listening to some Rock, I became about 16 years old. It was time to party and this needed a different kind of music. What I got into at that time was a lot of Dubstep or some other electronic music. I listened to some classic stuff like Skrillex and Borgore, some more hardcore dubstep like Figure or some lighter stuff like Justice and Sydney Samson.

My girlfriend offered me a ticket to see Skrillex live, I loved it. I don't often listen to this kind of music anymore but sometimes I get the opportunity to see some live and this is where this kind of music really shines. If you are at a music festival and get the opportunity to see something like that live, you totally should, the atmosphere is really something different!

Folk, Indie

At about 17-18, I finally began to listen to some more calm music. It is at this moment that I believe I started to enjoy music for what it was. I could enjoy almost all types of music as long as I believed they were beautiful, I could at that point listen to really calm and sweet music while enjoying some more hardcore violent music the next day if I believed it was good music.

At this point, I was actually in America as an exchange student. Some friend of mine taught me how to play the ukulele. We made some concerts for some school contest and it was great! We played "Somewhere over the rainbow" dressed up as hawaïan female dancers in front of the whole school. I played the ukulele and sang while one friend of me was playing the ukulele too and I had two very hairy friends who would dance higher up on the scene. We actually won the contest with this good/bad performance. Me playing the ukulele helped me develop my love for the folk music (or just calm rock/independent music) as I tried to replicate what I heard.

At that point, I loved bands like Bright Eyes, Death Cab For Cutie, Iron and Wine, Angus and Julia Stones, Mac Demarco and many more! Whatever kind of music you are listening to, I suggest you give a try to some of these bands and if you want more, I will probably write some more articles about it in the future. I believe this music can be enjoyed by everyone, whether you like metal or rap, this genre helps to get an open mind about music. What I would probably add in this category is lo-fi, chill music that I listen when I study, this would include Joji, XXYYXX, and more. I add this genre because it is in the category of chill music that helped me being openminded about music.
