Musical Tastes, Juliana Alcalá Padilla April 2021

From the very first register of it, music has been a part of the development of human life. It is considered one of the oldest communication vehicles that it seeks to transmit different types of sensations that provoke different reactions on an emotional level through a series of rhythms with a certain sequence.


What does it mean to have a good taste in music?

It is assumed that having a good taste in music depends on the common tastes of the general population, what is heard the most on platforms such as radio, YouTube, Spotify, etc.


So, if I don't like the common thing, do I have bad taste in music?


Actually, the word "taste" tells us that what catches our attention must be our personal liking, not only in the musical field, but in any aspect of our lives, when making decisions we have to take this into account in order to feel comfortable.



How do I identify the type of music that you like?


  1. Try different genres of music.

  2. Look for the one that makes you transmit all kinds of emotions.

  3. Once the genre is defined, try to listen to music from different artists belonging to it.

As referenced above, music is classified by genres, of which there are a great variety of them. It is important to note that these are represented by different artists known nationally or internationally. Now, if we tried to define which is the best genre in the music industry, we would fall into a discussion of tastes where it would be almost impossible to reach an agreement, this would happen because each one of them have specific characteristics that make them differentiate from the others. To mention a few, we have the rhythmic sequence and the theme of which the song speaks. Although there are people who identify with a single musical genre, there are others who do not because they are more open and versatile in that sense, which causes them to feel appreciation or value music in a more general area.

It is also important to highlight the effect that music has on our way of dressing. Usually when we think of a person who likes Rock, we imagine someone wearing boots, a leather jacket, tattoos, etc. Or in reggae case, we can think of someone who wears dreadlocks in his hair and has a relaxed style, clearly these are only stereotypes that are not always going to be fulfilled.

It is true, music has accompanied us since the beginning of time and I think that it has also helped us to believe as people since it influences our emotions and attitudes. Also, I agree when saying that no one has bad taste in music because it always varies depending on the person.

Many of the things that people have in common is that we have all listened to music in our lives and it has changed us at some point.🎶

I think that is completely true that is said in the article, Music in some cases of the daily life is a pilllow , it is our cloth of tears , when we feel sad, when we are angry or too when we are happy, is a shape to express our ideas to the world and in a way in which we will not be directly judged by what we feel or think, the music indepently about what type of that we hear it´s a way too for feel us free, depending obviosly of our common pleasures but always always the melodies, that are so strong because not need letter to transmit a special sensation , the letter, the abilit…

Music is part of all people, thus contributing to the activities of each of them as well as a source of relief for their problems (it depends on each one). My opinion about this is that music is something beautiful for human development, an incomparable feeling when you listen to a new song or remember the one you loved as a child.

It is very interesting what is proposed in the blog, in my opinion there are no good or bad tastes, only tastes. Many times these tastes for music can define who we are or how we behave, but at other times they are just established prejudices.

Well, Esteban, this comment means nothing. just a couple of words here and there, but there is not any actual relevance or discussion on what you are saying. The whole purpose of this is to discuss not to simply add some compliments.
