Me As A Consumer Of Music

Me As A Consumer Of Music

What genres of music do you enjoy listening to and who are your favourite artists?

Its quite hard to say which genres I enjoy listening to because I am interested into arrange of genres that do not really link together or relate, the only thing they have in common is that the music makes me feel most emotion in different ways. However I can say that i enjoy raw acoustic music with meaningful lyrics and artists/bands like alt-j, amber run, the eagles and many more all relate to that. My most favourite artist is the eagles and alt-j at the moment because their music is crazy and unusual but emotional and raw. 

Why do you like these genres /artists?
Like I said before I like these genres and artist because the music brings to life all the emotions I can feel but also the lyrics are more than words, they are stories that can relate to many people. 

What has influenced your choice of music as you have grown up?
My parents and nan play a big part in the music I liked, from my dad introducing me into classic rock songs , my mum and nan playing Elvis in the house and when visiting my nan I would be surprised to walk thought the door and hear heavy metal blasting through the house. Funny enough i enjoy all these types of music, however i am interested into anything unique, so I find different and not well know artist/bands very intriguing. I can't say that my friends or people around me have influenced my choice of music because I don't like the majority of their music as its boring and basic and there is no emotion or thought gone into the music itself, the music is just sounds covered with an emotionless voice singing irrelevant words. 

How and when do you listen to music?
I listen to music using CDs and my phone and i use these methods because both can be an easier and more connected way to listen to any music i wanted whenever i wanted. I prefer to listen to music before i sleep and when i need to concentrate/distance myself from everyone else. I feel that music is a great way to change someone's mood for the better or for the worse and that is the reason i listen to the music at those certain points within my day. 

Do you listen to the radio, listen on your iPod/phone, watch music to channels?
The only time i listen to the radio is in the car to break the awkward tension or in the kitchen in the morning to boost my energy. I also listen to music on my phone as it is an easier way to access any music whenever and wherever I wish but I do not listen to music on an iPod as i do not own one. I tend to watch music channels when i workout at home or sometimes the music channel is randomly on which fills the house with a nice atmosphere. 

Do you buy physical/digital music or do you download music in other ways?
I buy CDs but I also download music in different ways onto my phone. I buy CDs because i enjoy having a copy of a soundtrack or album knowing that I will always have that music to listen to knowing the fact that anything thing could happen to music on social media. However I download music onto my phone because I like to have the choice to listen the music wherever I am, as i like to listen to music in certain situations.
