Sample Answers
What kind of music do you like? I'm really into indie rock music, I love the energy and the creativity that comes with it. I think it's because I grew up listening to bands like The Black Keys and Arctic Monkeys, and I just fell in love with the sound. Plus, it's the kind of music that's always evolving, so I'm always discovering new artists and styles.
Is there any music you dislike? Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of electronic dance music. I know a lot of people love it, but I just can't get into the repetitive beats and synthesized sounds. I think it's because I prefer music with a more organic feel, you know, like guitars and drums. But hey, to each their own, right?
What’s the most common kind of music you listen to? I'd say I listen to a lot of alternative rock music. I think it's because it's just so versatile – I can listen to it when I'm studying, working out, or just relaxing. Plus, there are so many great artists in the genre, from Foo Fighters to The 1975. It's just a great way to unwind and get pumped up at the same time.
What kind of music do your friends like? Do you enjoy the same type of music? My friends are actually really into hip-hop, which is cool because it's introduced me to a whole new world of music. I wouldn't say I'm a huge fan of hip-hop myself, but I appreciate the artistry and the storytelling that goes into it. We often have debates about the best rappers and songs, and it's always fun to share our different perspectives.
What’s the most popular type of music where you live? Where I live, I'd say the most popular type of music is probably pop music. I think it's because it's just so catchy and easy to listen to – everyone loves a good pop hook! Plus, there are so many great pop artists who come through our city on tour, so it's always exciting to see who's coming next.
Which singer or musician would you like to see in person? I've always wanted to see Paul McCartney in concert. I'm a huge Beatles fan, and I think it would be an incredible experience to see him perform live. I've heard he puts on an amazing show, and I'd love to hear him play all the classics like 'Hey Jude' and 'Let It Be'. It's definitely on my bucket list!
