4a. Listen and read the Internet forum. What music styles are they really into? What styles aren't very popular?

Tsunami: My favourite music style is techno. I know lots of people think it's stupid, but I think it's awesome. It's my favourite music right now, and I listen to it all the time. When I go to bed, I listen to techno because it relaxes me and makes me fall asleep faster. I looove techno!

Justin: I'm fond of hard rock and heavy metal music. My favourite bands are Metallica [mɪˈtælɪkə] and Nirvana [nɪəˈvɑːnə]. When I listen to their music at full volume¹, it fills me with energy! But when I work at the computer, I need some slower and softer music in the background². I usually listen to hip-hop then. ©

Nova: I'm really into rap and hip-hop, but I also listen to all kinds of music. What I look for in a song is lyrics³ and rhythm. Some songs are so touching that I listen to them over and over. ©©

Mich: I grew up in the country, in my dad's family who listened to NOTHING BUT country music; but I didn't get into it as much as my brothers. I like any music that sounds good to my ears – techno, pop, R&B and others.

Josh: I can't get into rap! I think the lyrics of most rap songs are very rude, and they sound so angry and hateful! Why do people listen to rap?

Click: I can't stand heavy metal. It's awful! The melody is hidden behind men screaming and acting like crazy⁴ frogs. Guitar solos can be good, but you can't hear them. Most of the time their music sounds like a clash of noise to me.

4b. Which of the people in the forum do you agree and disagree with?

4c. Work in groups. Discuss your attitude to music: What music is good in the background (for relaxing / getting energy / dancing / a workout¹)?
