1.Rock

It was a continuous battle whether to choose Hip Hop over Rock but finally settled with Rock. In today’s world full of stress we guessed Rock music helps people to let go of their anger. Personally if you like rock I believe you’ll also find Punk, Nu metal, Metal, Indie rock and Industrial rock music interesting.

3.Pop

Yeah Pop music is at third rank. Not our fault but since it’s popular among people( thus the name pop) we had to give it a position at top 3 music genre. In my opinion Pop music is loosing it’s reputation cuz of using so much Trance, Electro and other digitally printed material

A demanding style esp. among young people, that originated as a distinctive genre in the 1950s. It is generally characterised by a strong rhythmic element and the use of electrical amplification.

It is a bland watered-down version of rock'n'roll with more rhythm and harmony and an emphasis on romantic love. "Pop" and "rock" were roughly synonymous terms until the late 1960s, when they became increasingly differentiated from each other.

It’s not my honour but certainly my duty to present these Pop tracks to you.

Uptown Funk (Uptown Funk, 2003)

Shape of you (Divide,2017)

I Gotta Feeling (The E.N.D, 2009)

Billie Jean (Thriller,1982)

We Found Love (Talk that Talk, 2011)

4.EDM ( Electronic Dance Music)

Electronic dance music is a broad range of percussive electronic music genres made largely for nightclubs, raves, and festivals. EDM is generally produced for playback by disc jockeys (DJs) who create seamless selections of tracks, called a mix, by segueing from one recording to another. In the United Kingdom, EDM is more commonly called 'dance music' or simply 'dance'.

By the early 2010s the term "electronic dance music" and the initialism "EDM" was being pushed by the U.S. music industry and music press in an effort to re-brand American rave culture.

Despite the industry's attempt to create a specific EDM brand the initialism remains in use as an umbrella term for multiple dance genres, including house, techno, trance, drum and bass, dubstep, and their respective subgenres.
