Doesn’t music just affect our moods so much? Whenever I need more energy to work or to get myself excited before going out I always start by putting on some music.
Different music genres evoke different feelings, and here are a few of my favorite music genres.
Genres I love
- Lo-fi
- Trap
- Techno
Lo-fi – Chill rainy night
Does “Lo-Fi beats to relax/study to” sound familiar? If not, welcome to this amazing and focus-inducing music genre. (Okay, I know that there’s been a huge hate-wave towards lo-fi music recently… But I still like it.)
I love listening to lo-fi music when I’m working or studying. Especially at night time or when it’s raining. It’s perfect background music that doesn’t require you to focus on it.
What is Lo-Fi music?
Lo-fi music is characterized by imperfections in the recording or performance, often deliberate. Examples of imperfections can be environmental interference such as bird chirps, traffic, and café talk. Within the lo-fi genre, some tracks can for example be influenced by jazz or hip-hop.

Trap-ish – Energized and focused
Trap music (and related genres) make me energized, as well as reminds me of how gloomy the world is. That combination weirdly motivates me.
What is trap music?
For me, it’s like hip-hop without the rap.
For a technical explanation, here’s a quote from Wikipedia:

Okay, I know some of these aren’t really trap. But I’m not sure what else they are, so they are included here anyway.
Techno – Smoke and lights
This is what I enjoy hearing when going out.
