What type of song that I like

Some type of music I listen to are Hip-Hop, Rock, and Rap. I like to listen to these types because they're not to slow or not to fast. One of my favorite Hip-Hop artist is Kid Cudi. I like him because he makes songs about his life, about what he likes to do, and about whatever is on his mind. My favorite Rap singer is Eminem. I like him because he sings about his kids and his life. My favorite Rock singer would have to be Kid Rock. I like him because he sings about partying.

Why some people like to play music.

Some people like to make music to get their mind off of all the bad things that are going on. If they are having a bad day they might take their anger out on putting it in a song. So, if they yell in the song a lot, the song might be a Heavy Metal song. Heavy Metal is a type of song that people do yell in a lot.
If people are having a good day and they just feel like making a song then, that song could be a Hip-Hop.  Hip-Hop is when you write a song about what is on your mind. I think some people might do this because it will get all of the bad things off of their mind so they could live a better life.

Some music types

There are all sort of types of music. There are  Rap, Country, Hip-Hop, Rock, and so one. Rap is more of a swearing and about city life. Country is more of a slow song that most people like to tell you about that people who struggle in life. Hip-Hop is like just what what ever that person can think about and makes sense to them, they will right it down in a song. Some people who create songs, right down what ever they want then they will make the song. They make songs about their life or about whatever they think about.

Some Facts about music

No one is really sure who made music. Music could have been made by cavemen by all the sounds and there voice. Music is an art that whose medium is sound. The first type of music was from B.C. No one exactly knows, but im going to guess that the first sound of music is the voice. A lot of people think that if they don't have music, that life would be bad. In the 20th century  composer  John Cage thought if you could make a noise that you made music.  John Cage said "There is no noise, only music." I agree with John Cage because even tapping on a table will make a music noise.

Elvis Presley

Presley's first single, "Heartbreak Hotel", released in January 1956, was a number one hit. He became the leading figure of the newly popular sound of rock and roll with a series of TV appearances and chart-topping records. His energized interpretations of songs, many from African American sources, and his uninhibited performance style made him popular—and controversial. In November 1956, he made his film debut in Love Me Tender. Conscripted into military service in 1958, Presley shot his recording career two years later with some of his most commercially successful work. He staged few concerts, however, and, guided by Parker, proceeded to devote much of the 1960s to making Hollywood movies and soundtrack albums, most of them critically derided. In 1968, after seven years away from the stage, he returned to live performance in a celebrated comeback television special that led to an extended Las Vegas concert residency and a string of profitable tours. In 1973, Presley staged the first concert broadcast globally via satellite, Aloha from Hawaii, seen by approximately 1.5 billion viewers. Prescription drug abuse severely compromised his health, and he died suddenly in 1977 at the age of 42 :(. Presley is regarded as one of the most important figures of 20th-century popular culture :). He had a versatile voice and unusually wide success encompassing many genres, including country, pop ballads, gospel, and
blues. He is the best-selling solo artist in the history of popular music^. Nominated for 14 competitive Grammys, he won three, and received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award at age 36. He has been inducted into four music halls of fame.
