Favorite Music Genre!

Favorite Music Genre!

I did this last year and it was really fun - basically, you state your favorite two music genres, and after a month, we go through and see what's the most popular genre on the Chatterbox. Here's the link to the previous one: https://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/puddingsplace/node/545985?page... You can also just talk about your favorite genres and why you like them!

Looks like Iffy's trying to say "pronouns" - she says <pnouz>.

*gasp* Iffy says <cidva>! El Cid is a famous hero of Spanish history, and "va" could mean "is going to" in Spanish, so... what's El Cid going to do, Iffy??

Results at last! For those of you who voted for three, I went ahead and counted all three. The indie category includes indie folk. So does the folk category, which also includes traditional music from around the world (as I think that genre is also referred to as folk). Foreign genres of pop are counted under "pop." I counted Tea'n'Tacos' vote for "worship" music as contemporary Christian music, I hope that was correct.

Results:

1. Pop! Leading the way with 8 votes. One vote was for K-pop, two for Latin pop.

2. Indie: Also leading the way with 8 votes.

3. Folk: 5 votes

4. Rock: 2

5. Contemporary Christian music: 2

6. R and B, neo soul, hymns, classical, rap, alternative, country, and musicals, which got 1 vote each.

So the most popular genres are tied for first place, and they are pop and indie, with folk, rock, and contemporary Christian music as other more major genres. This is quite a change from last year, when music from movies/musicals was the most popular. Rock and indie followed, while pop was in third place.  This year there were also votes for genres that weren't even spoken of in last year's voting, like rap. So indie's still popular, but the other genres have changed a lot! 

Hope this was interesting, we should try doing it again next year and seeing what changes have taken place by then... :) Thanks to everyone who participated!

Huh, yeah! Thank you for doing this, @Setti!! This was really interesting! And honestly, I LOVE musicals, it's probably one of my favorite genres too. I can spend hours singing random songs from random musicals (yes this is what I use my memory for...), I just forgot to mention it haha.
