    The Music Genres on My iPod

    Once in a while, I download a song or two onto my iPod. That’s if finances aren’t dire and I can recall the song (s) I wish to download. Oh, I’m that person that does not carry their iPod with them. It lives on my iPad. Hey, I’m not that antique where I stick with the first iPad ever invented. It is the iPad mini. iPad mini lives! Like all its iPhone cousins and Apple Watch second cousins–
    What are we doing here? Music is omnipresent, but of course! We are in the twenty-first century!
    We are? *A dumb baby scratches her head.*
    Allow me to dive in and list the genres of music listed on my iPad–iPod. One in the same?

    Tribute:
    Kind of sounds as though these are dedicated to the ones who are gone. Nah. Just orchestral pieces combined into albums, written for Miley Cyrus and Three Days Grace.

    Ironic, right, that I care for rock, but classical, too? I love classical for its grandiose cadences. Hope I wrote that out correctly. The slight nuances I have to listen for, significantly when I can’t determine one piece from another.

    Additionally, I like me some Celtic music, Japanese music. Dark, gothic music perfect for those days when the sky is thick with storm clouds.
    To point out, I’ve grown with Celtic music. It’s reminiscent for me; in my younger days, the radio played those tunes. Celtic womens’ ghost-like voices crooned out from the radio. Along in the background played flutes.
    I get my love for Celtic music from me Dad. You’ve probably guessed my heritage points towards the Emerald Isle. You are correct.
    He has also introduced me to Scottish music. I’ve found a love for bagpipes in music. No, I do not play them meself, and I can’t bring meself to get close to them physically. Anyone who has been a good enough distance to them doesn’t need a telling of its deafening sound!
    Alright, I must write more about what classical composers I like! I may not have a broad collection of them on my Apple device, but screw that!

    There’s Bach, Beethoven, Grieg, Handel, and still others I cannot name because they happen to be dead! This isn’t to say I am a fangirl of them! I’ve listened to a melody of theirs and fallen in love with it!
    I gotta say, though, I can’t make sense of the numbers and letters written into the titles of orchestrated music. Not that I’m not intrigued to educate myself!

    I’ve enjoyed this laundry list! Tell me, what genre are you into (right now or always)? Any genres you can think of that I haven’t listed? These are a handful of genres, no shit. Feel free to write them below!
