Music is really a great thing in the world. I can not imagine what life would be if there were no music, because music is essential for many people including me. Music makes life more colorful. There are many kinds of music and each kind of them attracts different people. Rock, a popular type of music, is mainly a combination of jazz, blue, and country music. Its history is about few decades. Moreover, the rock music is related to the Black people. I think listening to rock music is a good way to vent emotions. When under a great pressure or be in a bad mood, listening to rock music and singing the songs loudly or dancing freely with the songs will reduce the bad emotion. The second kind of music is Hip Hop. Hip Hop is also a pop music today. It originates from the poor Black people, then spread to America, finally to the whole world. Actually, it is a kind of culture including music, dances, dresses, DJ, B-BOX, graffiti, etc. The third one is rap. Rap originated from Hip Hop. However, there are some differences between them. For instance, the rhythm of rap is faster than that of Hip Hop. Rap is also related to the Black people. Originally, they spoke quickly to vent their emotions. Then it became a type of music, rap. The forth is my favorite: soft music. I think soft music will never out of fashion. Listening to the soft music is both good ways to relax and calm down. I always feel peaceful when listening to the soft music. Music is really essential to me.
