Dương Tuấn Dũng's Profile

My favorite genre of music is country.  I’ve grown up surrounded by country music. My parents usually sang country songs to lull me to sleep when I was a child. To be honest, I don’t know when I started to love country music. When listening to country songs, it feels like I slowly disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the world surrounding me.Country music is a genre of popular music that originated in the Southern United States in the early 1920s. It takes its roots from genres such as folk music and blues. Now it’s one of the most popular kinds of music in the United States. Country music is about simple but strong human feelings and events like love, sadness, good times and bad times. It’s perfect for telling stories of our daily lives.Whenever I am in a bad mood, I just listen to some country songs, close my eyes and begin to relax to the sounds around me.  For me, listening to music can also be a great way to reduce stress, improve mental clarity, recharge my battery for new days. I can’t imagine how boring my life could be without music.It is my life.

I like all kinds of music, but I can say that my favorite one is Pop – a short term of Popular Music. Most people listen to music, and Pop might be the most common music around us. It originated in the United States and United Kingdom during the mid-1950s, and nowadays it has become a worldwide wave. The characteristics of Pop music include an aim of appealing to a general audience, and it also aims to encourage dancing and uses catchy rhythms. This kind of music has lyrics which are easy to understand and sing along, so I can sing to most of the songs after hearing them thrice. My favorite pop musician is Taylor Swift. She is not simply a singer, but she is also a song writer, dancer, and producer. Most of her songs are about many different shades of love, and this subject is also the most common one in Pop. Recently, Pop culture has strongly developed in Asian countries, and it can be said that Korea is the leader of this wave. Many bands have been born, and they have introduced their national values to the whole world through their music. While Western Pop music focuses mostly on the catchy sound of instruments and singer’s voice, Korean Pop is more on the side of synchronized choreography and main concept along with the catchy tunes. I know many other countries also have good Pop songs, but I just listen to US – UK and Korean ones. My dream is to be able to attend a real Pop concert with famous singers, gorgeous stage with a lot of colorful lights, lively sound and professional dancers. I am saving money for a Pop concert in my hometown in the summer, and I cannot wait to listen to my favorite kind of music in real life.
