I’m not saying particular genres, we all have our less desired musical genres, I mean music in general.

When I was a child I was very confident to say that I hated music, all kinds, and my cousin used to say that was not possible.

Turns out he was right, and I only hated the teenage music my sister from the 90s used to listen to.

Secretly I enjoyed soundtracks and OSTs from several media, such as animes (digimon openings and battle themes for example) and some TV shows or even videogames.

Then my taste “evolved” and pretty much stayed at rock, heavy metal and alike.

So that little memory lane inspired me to ask about this.

    I’m curious to see if you find anyone. I do know there are some kids who are very sensitive to the moods of music and cry for Happy Birthday, for example, because it’s in a minor key. I can see how it could almost be like someone is whining at you or trying to get you hyped up and you just want to be with your own thoughts?

      Not trying to take from the emotional side of birthdays here.

      Going to put on my poindexter hat: It’s not in a minor key. But the melody is in a mode, called Mixolydian, which is more major than it is minor because its primary triad is a major chord.

        Sorry to be that guy but it’s actually just in regular ionian mode! If it was mixolydian the first note of the ‘insert name’ part of the tune would be flattened.

          Oh yeah. You’re right.

          There are a couple of leaps towards the end that threw me off.

          Actually, my enter sense of tonal center off. By a 5th 😅

        I had no idea, but I one hundred percent predicted some form of this comment. Thank you
