So, I play classical guitar. I can read music. I can tell you what a fugue is, and a sonata, and a concerto.
If you ask me what musicians I like, I'll give you answers like J.S. Bach and The Beatles. I'm 31.
Now, I really *want* to understand contemporary music. But I'm completely overwhelmed by it. I don't even really understand what the categories are.
I know there's house, techno, EDM, something called EDC which might be like EDM. I know there's all these indie bands and groups. But I really have no idea what I'm talking about.
How do people come to discover all of this stuff? What are the general categories? How do I classify something when I hear it? And why do they like listening to it?
Anyway, I realize I sound like a total idiot. Please help.
