music genres

As Im not very into music, I had a little bit of trouble with this assignment (I don't really know how to recognize music genres). However, I looked up some songs, and for songs I knew I looked up what genre they are so that I could list them in the correct group.

House- Another Love by Tom Odell
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ZHwu0uut3k

This is actually one of my favorite songs. The most noticeable sounds in this song are done electronically, and the ones in the background are common instruments such as drums. Also, there are parts in the song where the voice of the singer is kind of distorted electronically so that it sounds different and better. This makes this song fit into technology and electronic.

Techno- Strobe by Death Mouse
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKi9Z-f6qX4

This DJ or character wears a mouse head whenever he performs. It uses electronic devices to create every sound in all of his songs. In addition to this, the mouse head he wears has lights on the eyes and mouth that turn on while he is playing/mixing the music. This makes this DJ to definitely fit into the technological world.

Electro- Can't Stop Me by Afrojack & Shermanology
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnTUwiDDSaQ

Afrojack is an Electro music artist, and just because of that his music uses many electronic sounds that are not only perfectly combined, but also create really active and nice songs that when put together with the singers create amazing songs. I really love this song, it is the type of song that I if its play in a club or party it will turn everyone up


Nineties- Dreams by The Cranberries
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tONsedTRCD4

I really liked this song and I feel like it fits with technology because although you can hear instruments like drums that are not electronic, I can also hear an electronic piano playing. I know how it sounds because I used to play one. Hearing this particular instrument caught my attention. Some sounds in this song are not acoustic but electronic, which makes this song fit in this category of electronic and technology

Punk- London's Burning by The Clash
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCw9_avTlYs

 I don't really like punk music because I feel like the artists of this genre force their voices while singing as well as the rhythm feels forced. However, this genre uses electronic instruments such as electric guitars.
