A look at the different styles of music and how they are all unique in their own ways.

Classical Style Music

Classical music is often described as complex, whereas hip hop and dubstep are seen as simplistic. This is not always the case, but the majority of classical pieces are more intricate than those in other genres. Classical music often has multiple layers that the listener can appreciate, whereas hip hop and dubstep tend to be more focused on one layer.

Defining features

Classical music is art music produced or rooted in the traditions of Western music, including both liturgical (religious) and secular music. While a more precise term is also used to refer to the period from 1750 to 1820 (the Classical period), this article is about the broad span of time from before the 6th century AD to the present day, which includes the Classical period and various other periods. The central norms of this tradition became codified between 1550 and 1900, which is known as the common-practice period.

Emotional effects

Classical music is often seen as calm and serene, while hip hop and dubstep are often seen as energetic and exciting. However, all three genres of music can have both positive and negative emotional effects. Classical music has been shown to reduce stress and anxiety, improve mood and cognitive functioning, and increase

Hip Hop

It is widely known that many people have different taste in music. Some people like classical music while others like hip hop or dubstep. There are many differences between these genres of music. Classical music is usually calm and relaxing while hip hop is more upbeat and fast paced. Dubstep is a mix of the two with a focus on the bass.

Defining features

When we think about the features that define different types of music, we usually think about the instruments being used, the tempo or the melodies. But there are other, less obvious features that can also help define a genre. In this article, we’re going to focus on three genres of music – classical, hip hop and dubstep – and look at some of their defining sonic characteristics.

One of the most obvious ways in which these genres differ is in their use of instruments. Classical music is usually played on acoustic instruments like violins, pianos and flutes. Hip hop, on the other hand, often uses electronic instruments and samples from other recordings. Dubstep producers often use a range of different sounds to create their tracks, including synthesizers, drum machines and even live instruments.

Another way in which these genres differ is in their tempos. Classical music is usually played at a slow to moderate pace, while hip hop and dubstep are often much faster. This difference in tempo can have a big impact on how the music makes us feel – classical music is often calming and relaxing, while hip hop and dubstep can be more energizing and exciting.

The melodic content of these genres also differs quite significantly. Classical music often features long melodies with complex harmonies, while hip hop typically has shorter melodies with simpletonal harmony. Dubstep melodies are often very minimalistic, featuring just a few notes that are repeated throughout the track.

So there are some definite sonic differences between classical, hip hop and dubstep. But there are also some similarities – all three genres make use of rhythm, for example, and all three can be highly creative and expressive. Ultimately, it’s up to each individual listener to decide which genre they prefer.

Emotional effects

Different types of music have been shown to elicited different emotional responses in people. Classical style music has been shown to calm the nerves and create a feeling of relaxation, while hip hop and dubstep tend to get people pumped up and ready to go.

Dubstep

Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in South London in the late 1990s. It is generally characterized by sparse, syncopated rhythmic patterns with Basslines that contain prominent sub-bass frequencies.

Defining features

Classical music is art music produced or rooted in the traditions of Western culture, including both liturgical (religious) and secular music. Much of it is generally considered art rather than popular music. Art music was historically disseminated through the performances of written music, although since the beginning of the recording industry, it has been disseminated through recordings. Traditional classical music has a linear history dating back to the early Middle Ages. It is often contrapuntal and uses a variety of musical forms.

Emotional effects

Emotion is one of the most important factors in music. It can make us feel happy, sad, anxious, or even angry. Music can also have a physical effect on our bodies, such as increasing our heart rate or making us feel more relaxed.

There are many different genres of music, and each one can have a different effect on our emotions. For example, classical music is often relaxing and calm, while hip hop may be more energizing and exciting. Dubstep is a newer genre that is sometimes described as dark or aggressive.

So what are the emotional effects of dubstep? One study found that people who listened to dubstep experienced more anger and hostility than those who listened to other genres of music (1). Another study found that dubstep can cause people to experience negative emotions like fear and anxiety (2).

So if you’re looking for a genre of music that will help you relax or feel positive emotions, dubstep is probably not the best choice. However, if you’re looking for something new and exciting, dubstep may be worth checking out.

Comparison and Contrast

People have been making music for thousands of years. In that time, many different styles of music have developed. In this essay, we will be comparing and contrasting three different styles of music: classical, hip hop, and dubstep. All three styles have their own unique qualities that make them special.

Emotional effects of each genre

#Classical
Classical music is often said to be “uplifting” or “stress relieving.” Numerous studies have found that classical music can indeed have a positive effect on our emotions. One study found that students who listened to classical music before taking a math test performed better than those who didn’t listen to any music at all.

#Hip Hop
Hip hop, on the other hand, is often said to be “aggressive” or “angry.” And while it’s true that some hip hop songs do have these themes, not all of them do. In fact, many hip hop songs are about positive messages and social change.

#Dubstep
Dubstep is a relatively new genre of electronic dance music that is characterized by heavy bass and drum beats. While it is often said to be “intense” or “energetic,” it can also have a calming effect on the listener.

Defining features

What are the three primary styles of music that you would like to compare and contrast?

I would like to compare and contrast Classical style music, Hip Hop, and Dubstep.

Classical music is typically thought of as calm, relaxing, and elegant. It is often based on complex melodies and harmonies, and has a very formal structure. It is usually played by a symphony orchestra, or other classical ensembles.

Hip hop is a style of music that originated in the African-American community in the late 1970s. It is characterized by its use of rhythmic spoken lyrics, often over a sampled beat or instrumental track. Hip hop music has become one of the most popular genres in the world, with artists such as Jay-Z and Drake topping the charts.

Dubstep is a type of electronic dance music that emerged in the early 2000s. It is characterized by its heavy bass line and drums, as well as its use of wobbling synthesizer sounds. Dubstep artists such as Skrillex and Bassnectar have become some of the most popular DJs in the world.
