Musical Taste Writing Assignment

Musical taste to me is determined from where you grow up in the world, who you grow up with and what kind of person you are. Throughout history music has changed in a big way. As Jacob of Liege said in 1425 “Music was originally discreet, seemly, simple, masculine, and of good morals. Have not the moderns rendered it lascivious beyond measure”.

For instance, I like reggae when I’m chilling out with some friends because I like the lyrics and the chill beat that goes along with it. If I were to be working out I would go for some rap music because the lyrics are usually more upbeat and the beat is faster. Then again, I dislike some country songs because the beat isn’t my favorite and some certain songs make you more emotional than I would like to be.

My brothers influenced my taste in music because they would play their music around the house and when I rode around with them in their cars. My mom would play music in the house as well, mainly Christian or classical music. Different friends throughout my life have changed my opinion on some genres. Media has as well because I use to always watch MTV which originally use to just be music videos all
