Indie Music



Indie Genres are probably the most underrated genres at the moment. They served to be the traditional classic garage bands you would hear in your suburban neighborhood. They are known for their laid back and their emphasis on drums. Artists like Clairo, Monsunne, Pablo etc are probably my favorite. They're nice to listen to when you're just going through a vibe. They sort of like Lofi in a way since they emit such a laid back vibe.

Jazz music gives that emphasis more on saxophones with its awesome vibrato and rich soulful voice. It makes Jazz such a fun bop to listen to when you're trying to feel soulful or even attending an event that is a jazz scene can be very soulful. Fun fact: Listening to Jazz can actually have an effect on the type of brain waves you produce which can be stimulating or relaxing.

Disco Music


Disco music has been around the longest time as a genre of dance music and a subculture that emerged in the 1970s from the United States' urban nightlife scene. It's mostly an Underground scene back in the days but this type of music still slaps today! Back then you had to wear fancy attire to really get on the groove of disco Funk! And it's really nostalgic! I wish we still had disco! It's fun to reminisce about the past with colorful Attires!

If you ever walk into parties You would know the majority of the songs are playing are songs from this genre. With Bass giving that extra hit on these songs it makes that beat go hard! Hip-hop culture is a global culture – we use, enjoy, implement, and borrow from the culture in music, fashion and elsewhere. Hip-Hop was born in New York and South Bronx from Black, Latino and marginalised communities, and hip-hop used to be an underground thing where it was DJ record playing at Karl Hurc’s Party which generally was the birth of hip hop and rapping wasn't even a thing back then either. Hip Hop was shaped due to political and environmental factors which ultimately transformed this genre to something wonderful.


House music


House music is mostly played underground. Their electronic funk and beats makes everyone want to let loose and just enjoy the moment. Its energy gives an up tempoed vibes that make these scenes vibrant! These paired up with flashing lights makes you want to jump in a heartbeat! I love this genre because songs like `212” ' by Azealia Banks really showcased something to me that made me feel like “woah I can dance to this!” and it's just really fun! Cute tempo and really different
