We got both kinds. Country and Western.
I see you’ve been to Bob’s Country Bunker as well.
Rawhiiiiide
Well it is a beautiful place, Bob
Came here to say this!
That ain’t no Hank Williams song.
Turn the power off!
So she’s mastered Air Music, Water Music, Earth Music and Fire Music? She might be ready to take on the Fire Music Lord.
*Fyre Music Lord
I can’t believe I missed that! LOL!
Idk about water, but earth, wind and fire are already covered by one group
My cabbage music!
I wanna hear her songs in the genres of:
Serbian Turbo Folk
Euro Dance
Doo-Wop
Bebop
Ex-Yu Rock
Bosnian Sevdalinka
Techno
Dance/House
New Jack Swing
Hell if she releases a chiptune album, I might listen
Taylor Swift bebop album when?
Her Black Metal era was truly refreshing.
Honestly the Punk Goes Pop albums have taught me that some of her songs translate super well to heavier styles
I Knew You Were Trouble - We Came As Romans
You Belong With Me - For All Those Sleeping
I Don’t Wanna Live Forever - Ice Nine Kills
Also honerable mention, Ice Nine Kill’s cover of Animals by Maroon 5 is brilliant and also does a good job of making fun of how weird the original music video is
that time she released that album under the name ‘tool’ and it topped her own in the charts surely must’ve been a career highlight :D
The four genres of music:
Country, Airpod, Forest, Dariacore
Lol I wish Taylor Swift was doing something as interesting as Dariacore
I’m a drums teacher and I’m this close to breaking my sticks with my bare teeth if any of my students request learning another shitty Swift song ever again. Or maybe I’ll smash the window in by throwing my kit at it. Or myself. Or my students…
got it. Early 2000s Hatsune Miku songs it is
(plays punk music angrily in a corner…)
Art teachers must have gotten a lot of anime-style painting in dragonball era.
I’ve definitely been there. I think it’s like what English teachers say when they see their students reading whatever latest YA drivel has been published (e.g. Twilight):
At least they want to read something.
Encourage their passions, even if you really hate what they’re currently doing with it, and trust that eventually they’ll get a better sense of taste when they learn more about what else is out there.
Take the “lead a horse to water” idiom but add the corollary that the horse definitely will not drink if no one leads it to water in the first place.
Oh, no worries. I teach them 50/50 what they want to learn and the other half is what I think it’s good for them to learn. That includes Blues, Jazz, Grunge, Funk, Soul, and so, so many more genres. I just hate dull pop music with a passion. :D
Not a musician, so honest question. Is her music actually bad from a theory perspective? I mean its unlikely to be ground breaking. But for pop, my assumption would be that it’s more towards the upper end.
Imagine this being bored to your tits:

Imagine being even more bored by pop music… ;-)
It’s just always the same. Doesn’t matter if it’s Taylor or any other pop musician ever since the early 90s.
Damn, now I feel old - and I’m only 38. ^^
I just have fun on the drums playing and teaching when it comes up to speed and different tempos. I love playing challenging stuff - for example Sam & Dave. I do love playing kicks that are not going well initially with crashes. It’s just me, being jaded.
But apparently all my students dig my classes, so I can’t really complain.
I know next to nothing about what actually make good music but man the moment I had access to music outside of the local radio stations I was blown away by how good music could actually be.
especially drums, idk if I could ever learn how to play them but it’s easily my favorite part to listen to when they’re done well
May I introduce you to Drumeo? :D Rock on! I know some of the people from the channel on a personal level and some of the “listen to the first time” teachers actually taught me the ropes when I started out playing (I used to be coder / keyboarder before getting into playing drums).
Even as a non-pop music hater I can’t imagine going to a drumming class and wanting to play that all the time, it’s just not a drum centric genre. Very few pop songs have prominent or interesting percussion.
I would imagine a drum class would be full of metal, jazz, punk, funk, etc. fans.
Most of my students are kids / teenagers and especially group classes can be somewhat annoying every now and then. But at the same time it’s very rewarding. Sure, sometimes I’m a bit underwhelmed by their taste in music, but hey, I’ve been a dumbass kid as well back in the day. I love the lessons when I’m not taking any requests, just giving a big lecture about different music genres and then getting into the drumming zone. I teach one advanced class every 2nd week (beginners class is every week) and I love seeing my students light up when it comes to proper challenging stuff. One is a fun nu metal fan who once asked me if I knew how to play “Word up”. You mean the Korn version or the actual original? Lol, his mind was blown away after hearing the original for the first time, and that was the original song plus me on the drums playing along to it. :D I might’ve had shitty parents, but oh dear, both of them had good taste in music and thus I know boatloads of cool stuff all the way down from the mid 50s up until the early 90s.
I call this piece, “the sound of
musicdefenestration”due to my specific kind of autism i have to ask: how often do people play cynthoni?
Lol, I had to look it up online. There’s some very nice Breakcore elements in that music. To quote a friend of mine (who is crazy enough to actually play that sort of stuff live on an oldschool kit every now and then): “Sure, I can play Breakcore live - for about 20 minutes and then I’ve got to stop because otherwise it would give me a major league heart attack!” :D
The four genres I can see based on the pictures and nothing else:
- radio pop
- retrocore
- second wave black metal
- celine dion
The primary 4 genres as I know them are
- Rock, Rap, Pop, and/or Singer/Songwriter
- New Age
- Roots Reggae
- Chamber Choir/Madrigals
Very nice - however you’re forgetting the generation defining ‘alternative forward slash punk’ genre that covers everything from sex pistols to aled jones doing the snowman theme
I would absolutely love to hear Taylor Swift covering some mutiilation type black metal
What four? Pop country, pop soft rock, girly pop, and acid jazz?
I think it’s; shit, mid, aggressively mid and coworker music
I wish I could master shit. I’ve been an amateur shitter for years, but breaking through that 2000 ELO cap is tough. Steamy ray vonn is my idol btw
I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever heard a Taylor Swift song in my life. But, let me take a guess.
- Pop. I’m pretty sure she’s a pop singer. I get the impression her fans are mostly young girls, so that’s probably her core demographic.
- “Modern Country”, a.k.a. “country-pop”. She just seems like the type who would do a pop song but add a bit of twang, a bit of acoustic guitar, and voila, she’s mastered “country”.
- Hip-hop. I wouldn’t be surprised if she released some so-called “hip hop”. I really doubt she’s be the one rapping, but someone that famous can probably just do a collaboration with a rapper, and sing while they rap. Just adjust the beats a bit, throw in a turntable (or a turntable-type sample), and you’ve mastered hip-hop. Unless… hmm… maybe her fan base is so white that she’s afraid of offending them even with extremely mild hip-hop. In that case, category 3 could be “Rock”, i.e. pop but with a bit more of an edge.
- Hmm, this is a harder one. There are so many other genres of music, which one would be “the only other remaining genre” according to a fan? Probably not something too foreign, so not K-Pop or Latin. Probably nothing too old because her fans are so young, so no Jazz, Blues or Classical. It probably comes down to “Rock” or “Dance”. I’m gonna go with Dance. It’s pretty easy to take a female vocalist and emphasize the rhythm, focus on electronic instruments, etc.
Far from actually mastering “all 4 genres of music”, my guess is that almost everything she plays is in 4/4, with maybe an occasional 3/4, and that it’s almost always in a major key. How did I do?
I don’t know much about genres, but I do know she started as a country artist and pivoted to pop later.
Wow, that’s 50% of all possible genres already!
She’s probably had some songs which crossed into Western, so all she had to do was pump out one grindcore track to get all four.
Taylor Swift became my favorite noise artist when she released her magnum opus Track 3
Schlagercore, cinematic-nederdoom-sludgeterror, gospel-grindcore-dub, what is the last one?
what is the last one?
Wiener Klassik
Gospel grindcore dub. I’ve heard of clowncore so I doubt this is any more wacky.
Taylor swift Gregorian chant album when?
Mongolian, but I feel a collaboration with The HU is plausible while unlikely.
Wasn’t that her big album 999 everyone went crazy for?
Now we just need:
- Djent
- Nightcore
- Bardcore
- Whatever genre Flash animation used in the early 2000s
I’m waiting on her crust punk album to drop.
Powerviolence when?
Whatever genre Flash animation used in the early 2000s
It’s called J-HipHop and is how I got into RIP Slyme.
I’d prefer thall over djent. I like the ambient melodies.
Grindcore
Still waiting on a Swift x Pig Destroyer collab. Any day now!
Give away her wealth in an effort to curb the devastation of climate change.
Edit: imagine how much she could lobby in Congress. She could change legislation for the next decade. But she doesn’t. No billionaire does.
beans, bacon, whiskey, and lard
Saw them when they were just a front bar band
I’m old enough to remember the days before the band had Lard holding down the beat on his accordion.
