Why do people like electronic music?
Any music coming out of speakers is electronic music, by definition. This banal observation does serve to illustrate that the barrier to liking music that comes out of speakers has fallen away. There used to be a time when music coming out of speakers was considered a weird, artificial oddity ... and that view colored the reception of electronic music for a long time. Now, however, people have almost universally suspended their disbelief and consider all musical sounds emanating from speakers as "real" music. People will even claim that when they listen to a recording of a so-called "un-plugged" song they are actually listening directly to the acoustic instruments, when they are clearly listening to an electronic device producing music (i.e., electronic music).Therefore, since most people listen to the music that they like via electronic "instruments," there is no real barrier separating "electronic" music from "acoustic" music anymore. That may be one small reason some people can "like" electronic music, whatever you mean by that.
Person who writes soundtracks for movies?
1) The person who puts together soundtracks for movies is caled a music supervisor. This is different from the composer. The composer writes the score (and is often selected by the music supervisor unless there is a close relationship between director and composer such as Tim Burton/Danny Elfman). The music supervisor selects the other music that goes into the movie either by selecting existing songs that work for the particular moment or contracting songwriters and singers to perform new songs. 2) The film industry is very much a who you know business. The besy way to break into it is by doing jobs for free for student films or ultra low budget films. You need a rep to get work and you make a rep by working! 3) This is one of those jobs that people tend to fall into. One of my good friends was a music supervisor at one of the major studios. She had been involved in music as a concert producer and literally did one small job as a favor to a friend that led to more jobs. You also need excellent negotiation skills. You need to know a wide range of musical styles. She was out 4 nights a week scouting new talent and put together deals with everyone from Tom Jones to Tricky. Her college degree was in English.
What do you call the people that make soundtracks for movies?
Okay....Thanks for adding more detail to your question. The job you're probably wanting to know about has many different names with the main ones being Music Supervisor, Music Coordinator or Musical Director. Other than where the composer scores the movie with it's live instrumentation namely a symphony orchestra, They initially compile a list of songs based on what the Director wants to convey during certain scenes and get to select what songs go in what scenes depending on what part of the plot the scene is in, mood of the scene, what era or background the scene or movie is set in and where the scene is shot but ultimately, the director has the final approval on what song is used and where in the movie it is used. In some cases, this person also has to deal with making sure the songwriter/s of the music selected are notified of the use of their material, how it will be used and to try to get their permission due to copyright laws as well as negotiating how the original artist is compensated. Click on the link below which should confirm and re-iterate what I've just said. Hope this helps.
I listen to anime soundtracks. Am I weird?
Most anime fans do listen to anime music, and often J-pop/J-rock/J-rap etc... as well. That's not unusual at all. As for being black, there's no rule that says certain races have to listen to certain music, or that certain races can't listen to certain music. It's really not weird at all that you're black and listening to anime music. I don't think most people would think anything of it. Personally, I have nearly 1000 tracks on my computer from hundreds of different anime that I listen to regularly, and have for the past 15 years. Openings, endings, insert songs, instrumentals, you name it, and I'm constantly adding to that. That's in addition to hundreds of J-pop tracks, all in Japanese. There are also plenty of sites, like Nipponsei and Gendou's, that are completely devoted to offering anime music to fans outside of Japan, and sites like animelyrics.com that offer translations. Even here in C&A, people are always asking questions about anime music. It's so common for anime fans to listen to anime music that I think, if anything, it's harder to find fans who don't.
What kind of music do the most intelligent people listen to?
Typically smart people listen to music what appeals to their own taste, while stupid people listen to music which appeals to their group of reference. Smart people tend to be individualists while the lesser endowed of the cerebral performance tend to be herd souls.But there is a correlation - not causation - between IQ and musical taste; the higher one’s IQ is, the more he or she prefers complex melodies and lyrics, while the lower it is, the higher preference on rhythm. There is also a weird - really weird - correlation between latitude and musical preference: the closer one’s home is the Equator, the higher the preference of ‘light’ musical styles like reggae, soca or calypso, while the higher the latitude and closer to poles, the higher the preference of ‘dark’ musical styles like heavy metal. Unfortunately, latitude and IQ has also correlation: the average IQ tends to be the lowest on Equator and rise towards both poles, North and South.My own experience is that the most intelligent people tend to prefer classical music and prog metal. The reason is simple: classical music is extremely complex and full of all kinds of melodic and harmonic variations and decorations - and prog metal is today’s classical.Other “heavy” or “hard” styles, such as nerdcore, death metal, hero metal, experimental rock, progressive rock and art rock tend to be also popular amongst the highly intelligent. If someone likes Queen, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, David Bowie or Led Zeppelin, he or she is likely to be quite bright.Many highly intelligent are also into jazz, bepop, jazz rock and crossover styles.

Why do smart people like stuff that's old? Examples: old movies, old music, old clothes, old literature, old art, old timey pop culture, etc.
I'm not sure that appreciating old stuff has to do with intelligence. Though perhaps it does have to do, at times with not caring very much about what is currently trendy or fashionable. In high school, the line between "you geek, you like old stuff?" and "oh man, those are classics!" was a fine line indeed.I like old "things", such as things made of wood. Why? Because back then they needed someone with considerable skill to make them. And the material is real wood. Not wood shavings held together by glue. Or with a thin veneer that will bubble. And if it ever becomes really damaged, you can refinish it. I also like that it is the legacy of whoever made it. They are probably old, or dead by now. Yet what I hold took some of their time, some of their care, and some of their love. It's as close to a conversation as we are going to have. And I like that.I like old books. I get excited when I run into a book that is 50-80 years old. Why? Because I can imagine someone reading it - some little kid who is now old, some adult who is now likely dead... and sometimes you see in pencil, their name. In beautiful writing (people knew how to write their names back then, didn't they? Perfectly legible, and such beauty and calm flow in the script...)I like also the view into the world that was deemed normal around the time of that book. For example, I have the Latin high school textbook for Ontario ... it speaks of civilized people knowing Latin... and the Motherland (England)... it's hilarious!As to music, art? That's easy. If it lasted a few centuries, then there are a few centuries worth of people who deemed the stuff to be quite good. That is a filter that spans beyond some temporary fad or fashion. Beethoven's "Pastorale" and "Eroica" aren't great because Beethoven had anything to do with them - they are great because millions of people over hundreds of years across innumerable countries and cultures can't all be wrong.But that doesn't stop me from enjoying Pet Shop Boys, Ray Charles, and Saga. LOL which is "old stuff" to my kids. LOL
Why do people like pop music?
Thanks for the A2AWhy do people like pop music?I can’t speak for ‘people’… I can only speak for myself. Now, you’re more than welcome to expand that context, as while everybody is unique… There’s no doubt thousands, if not millions who would have a similar answer to mine.As for me, I love music, I love the cadences, the beat, the musical melodies, the chords, the rhythms. I like to dance, could even say love.. Pop music tends to ‘speak’ to me more for dancing that any others do. I’ll even find myself sometimes idly ‘popping’ or such to even Rock or other genres that it wouldn’t normally work with.Now, you may notice I left out ‘lyrics’. I can learn the lyrics, go along with them as it were. But personally as a rule, most modern pop lyrics are inane and idiotic. I can happily bounce along to Chainsmokers songs… Even sing along (not hard as there’s rarely much to them). But the lyrics often seem (to me) to be there more just to get words in the song, than any real meaning.I like pop music, because at least the ‘good’ stuff (again, subjective, so to ME, the good stuff), makes me want to dance, and often improves my mood.If it makes me feel good, why wouldn’t I like it?
