Music is everybody's favorite activity to engage in. Why? Music is awesome and the feelings that are generated are uncontrollable. You can listen to music at work, school, and even at home. The best thing about listening to music is that it is very versatile. Everybody has to have at least one favorite song. Don't you just love having private jam sessions in your car?! Here are three genres of music that are popular in this generation.

1. R&B/Soul

This is personally my favorite because this genre could get you in a thoughtful spirit. If you are in a romantic or sultry mood, R&B songs are right for you. Ladies if you feel like your bae needs to listen to you or give you some attention, try putting on a nice Aaliyah track. Not to mention artists like Janet Jackson, Erykah Badu, and many more can bring all of your emotions to the forefront. As for the men, a slow jam from artists like Usher and R Kelly always makes a girl smile.

2. Hip Hop

This is one of the trendiest genres for this year. With hot artists like Future, Drake, Kendrick Lamar and J Cole, who wouldn't want to hear their rap game? Trap music is everyone's favorite category of music to party to, but thought-provoking hip hop is good to listen to as well.

3. Gospel

Don't you just want to feel the spirit? Do you need a certain wake up call whenever you are feeling down. Gospel is for you. Everyone needs to celebrate God through music. I suggest listening to artists like Mary Mary, Kirk Franklin, and Yolanda Adams. These artists put a mixture of R&B, hip hop, jazz and more into gospel music. Don't forget to listen to a nice praise and worship song as you're on your way to church.
