Choosing a genre


 Before I wanted to pick my song, I wanted to get a clear idea about some music genres of my personal choice, to make my end product more enjoyable and practical. I also wanted to understand how the tone of music connects with the actual lyrics of the song to bring out its own feeling and meaning.

Some Genres of my personal choice

  • Pop(kpop)
  • Pop(western pop)
  • Indie

Pop(Kpop)

Kpop is under the main genre pop is the pop style of music in Korea that contains mostly Korean lyrics and has the same kind of music style to actual pop (western pop) music, This was one of my first preferences when I picked to do Music Video for my end product, since it is one of my preferences to make my product more enjoyable to do.

Practicality - but looking from the side of practicality, musically wise the most songs have good tones and in-depth lyrics, but since it is in another language, it will be much harder to create a story to the song if the song lyrics are not understandable.

Pop(western pop)

Western pop music is mainstream and catchy, it is versatile and widely appreciated, and has good meaning to its songs, but sometimes very straightforward and forward.

Practicality - It is easy to use for my end product since lyrics are mostly in English and the lyrics mostly match the visual image, but sometimes have meanings that are hard to act on visually, and it may not align with my personal choice to make my product more slow and anddream-likem like 

Indie

After considering different styles, Indie fits my creative direction the best. It balances poetic lyrics, emotional tone, and soft storytelling that aligns well with my concept. The genre allows for more visual and symbolic expression, which is ideal for my music video idea.

Why Indie?

Emotional depth

Easy to match lyrics and visuals

Popular in similar MV styles like Ceilings, Heather, Cardigan

The main theme and genre of my choice of song (Dancing with Your Ghost)    Main theme - Post-liminal, sad but beautiful Genre - Indie pop Some songs that depict a similar concept to the post-liminal theme and the genre of indie pop Ceilings by Lizzy McAlpine Heather by Connan Gray Ceiling By Lizzy McAlapine  Theme - Grief and blurred memory after a breakup Genre - Indie pop  The main meaning of the song  can be interpreted in two ways: as a lingering feeling of a broken relationship or as the aftermath of an imagined scenario. The song can be taken as an understanding of the real-world situation of a breakup, even though the relationship wasn't real. How does the song lyric match the post-liminal concept?  First chorus - The ch...
