~ Blink-182
This subgroup of bands consists mostly of boy bands or girl bands such as One Direction, 5 Seconds of Summer, Little Mix, The Vamps, and Fifth Harmony. These bands are usually bands that are one gender based, and has a wide variety of types of pop, however most pop songs nowadays are by trending celebrities such as Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran and Lorde. Pop has several sub-genres, which makes it one of the most vast genres of music.
My favorite pop bands are Maroon 5, MAGIC!, 3OH!3, Neon Trees, One Republic, Flume, Disclosure and 5 Seconds of Summer. Some of the bands in this category also fit into the Electronic genre like Flume, Purity Ring, Owl City, Disclosure, and Years & Years. I listen to more of the electronic side of pop, because I love the beats and rhythms.
This other subgroup of bands consists of bands such as Nirvana, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, R.E.M, Radiohead, Green Day, Arctic Monkeys, Muse, and Coldplay. This type of music strays from pop, has a bit of rock flavor to it, but does not fit into any other category. What makes alternative music different from any other genre is that it originally comes from the underground scene. It is occasionally viewed as indie, however this genre has many different sub-genres.
My favorite alternative bands are Smallpools, Cold War Kids, Grouplove, The Killers, New Politics, twenty one pilots, WALK THE MOON, Vampire Weekend and AWOLNATION. This genre happens to be my favorite type of music as I find it relatable, and really moving to listen to.
This subgroup of bands consists of bands such as Blink-182, My Chemical Romance, Bring Me The Horizon, Fall Out Boy, All Time Low, Paramore, and Green Day. These bands sometimes scream their music, as a way of showing their emotions. But this group strays far away from straight out punk-rock because of it's melodic and cleaner sounding rhythms. On the contrary, there is a huge difference between Pop-Punk and Punk-Rock. Punk-Rock singers tend to have their music beats a lot faster, and their words don't come out as clean.
Although I only listen to a few bands in this genre, some of my favorite Pop-punk bands are All Time Low, Blink-182, Panic! at the Disco, Yellowcard, and Death Cab for Cutie.
