Norteño Music

Norteño is what they call Tex-Mex south of the border. Norteño songs, or "corridos," are named for the ballads about 19th century battles between the U.S. and Mexico. The music's origins are as mongrel as can be: mazurkas, waltzes and even a central European dance called the schottische all contributed to its distinctive sound. With the addition of the accordion (and polka influences), modern Norteno was born; today it's marked by nasal singing, accordion flourishes and streetwise lyrics that celebrate the deeds of the little guy: petty criminals, down-and-outers, people fighting the ubiquitous "system." Unlike most regional styles, Norteño is popular throughout Mexico.

Norteño Music: Espinoza Paz, El Trono De Mexico, Alicia Villarreal, Chalino Sanchez, Conjunto Primavera, Grupo Limite, Intocable, Julio Preciado y Su Banda Perla De Pacifico, La Mafia, Los Huracanes Del Norte, Los Invasores De Nuevo Leon, Los Tigres Del Norte, Los Traileros Del Norte, Los Tucanes De Tijuana, Luis y Julian, Tony De La Rosa, Jenni Rivera

Classical Music

A genre containing brilliant, timeless works by musical geniuses such as Beethoven, Mozart, Bach, Wagner, and a whole host of other European dudes you've probably never heard of. Absolutely brilliant music, especially considering the difficulty a person had to go through to compose before electric instruments and computers. Technically, "Classical Music" refers to the instrumental music of the 1750-1825 period, containing composers like Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, but nowadays the term covers pretty much all music made with orchestras.

Also, a word used by upper class snobs used to justify their shitty intellectual tastes in music that they only listen to because they want to consider themselves to be educated and classy. Some composers of classical music, such as those of the atonal and serialist genres, deliberately make their music as out of key and musically senseless as humanly possible, and then justify it because it's "intellectual", and took a lot of intelligence and effort to create. The proponents of this form of music then go out and loudly proclaim how their musical tastes are far superior to those of the common unwashed plebeians, who dirty their ears with foul peasant music like rock, or even *scoff* "rap".

These musically educated persons then retire to their weekly top hat appreciation parties and discuss with other like minded individuals about kids these days have no respect for their elders.

I personally think that classical music can be utterly brilliant, but the classical music enthusiasts who constantly insist that they're intellectually and musically superior to everyone else just piss me off.

music chad

someone who is really into indie/alternative music in a snobby way. this person religiously follows and adheres to the opinions of Anthony Fantano (theneedledrop) and listens to all genres of music except country. they constantly talk about music and try to out-snob each other. some bands music chads listen to are death grips, swans, daughters, playboi carti, kero kero bonito, beach house, xiu xiu and much much more because they have heard every song ever. they are also big into memes and are definitely not normies.

Music Chad 1: Wait bro are you playing Neutral Milk Hotel? I love Jeff Mangum!
Music Chad 2: Dude are you retarded this is Car Seat Headrest.

Music Chad 1: Fuck my bad bro I'm a huge fan of Will Toledo though.
Music Chad 2: Yeah same, Fantano introduced me to them and now Twin Fantasy 2018 version and 2011 version are some of my favorite albums ever!

musical genius

To have an ear for sound, the ability to write lyrics and melodies and to compose music that produces a unique rhythm that does not fall into a pre-determined music genre but one who uniquely creates a new genre of music that will transcend time.

Bono Vox of U2 is a musical genius!

JT Music

The only person keeping the assassins creed fandom alive apart from the developers. His songs can cure depression and not wanting to play assassins creed.

“Man, I was on the fence about the new assassins creed game, until JT Music released his new song. Now I’ll have to call in sick for work next week”

Apple Music

The rich, preppy girl's Spotify. It's considered innovative because it was made by Apple and copied from dozens of music streaming programs before it.

Wow! Apple Music is amazing! Why didn't anyone think of this before?!

Dude, everyone thought of this before.
