16. Mainstream music

My taste in music is all over the place. When I am out with my friends and just in a dancing mood I love house, when I am at home I love rock or hip hop etc. I listen to old school and the new. When it comes to mainstream music then it depends on the specific song. Obviously the songs are "mainstream" because they get played a lot because they are good and people enjoy listening to them. Some songs have really good beat and some has really good lyrics while others are just shit. For a song to be good it either has to have lyrics that mean something and is memorable or a beat that will make you want to dance like a monkey.
I hear a big difference in today's music and old school music, and a lot of the time I don't think think that there is as much "magic" in the music anymore because so much of it is done on the computer. Also a lot of the songs have the same beat and lyrics throughout the entire thing. But really if you think about it, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles etc they all sang about sex and drugs too so the difference there isn't actually that big. However sometimes it is just so fun to stand on a dancefloor somewhere surrounded by lots of people with a beat and just dance. Gives me goosebumps.

Mainstream music I find catchy:
