Who I Listen To ...

My favorite music genres include heavy metal, pop punk, punk rock, emo. Some of my favorite bands are Three Days Grace, P.O.D, Korn, Slipknot, and Sevendust.

Heavy metal music started in the 1960’s and early 1970’s. Some of the first heavy metal band playing around that time was Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple. Heavy metal was broadly popular around the 1980’s. Todays heavy metal bands are Slipknot and Lacuna Coil.

Pop Punk music started in the 1970’s and is still around today; some of the newer pop punk bands are Green Day, The Offspring, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, Simple Plane, Yellowcard, and Fall Out Boys, to name a few.

Punk rock music started between 1974 – 1977. Good Charlotte and Green Day are pop punk and punk rock bands combined genres. Mostly today’s pop punk and punk rock is the same thing only a little bit different in some ways. Punk rock started before pop punk. Punk rock is sloppier and grungier then pop punk.

Emo music started in the 1990’s. It is a mix of pop punk and heavy metal put together. Some of the emo bands that are out today are: The Hated, Circle Takes the Square, Dashboard Confessional, and Evergreen, just to name a few.

So those are the genres of music I listen to. These are some more bands I listen to. Linkin Park, Good Charlotte, Slipknot, and Three Days Grace.
