Music genre/style definitions
Chou's combines a number of popular and culturally-distinct music styles. The following criteria are used to categorize music styles mentioned in the above list:
Common styles used in Chou's music:
- R&B
- Contemporary R&B is a genre of pop music, characterized by smooth vocal arrangements and a smooth beat. This is very different from traditional "Rhythm and Blues" which is not usually used in Chou's compositions.
- "Zhong guo feng"
- Chou has popularized a style of music called "Zhong guo feng", which means "Chinese Style" (中國風).[1] ("Feng" on its own means "wind," but in context it is a shortening of the phrase "feng ge" (風格), meaning characteristic style or genre.) Zhong guo feng features traditional Chinese instruments and Western instruments, sometimes written in the Pentatonic Scale. Lyrics may be in the form of Chinese poetry and discuss themes related with Chinese history and folklore.
- Hip-hop
- Rap and beat-heavy; may involve use of scratch, sound sampling, synthesizer music.
- Pop
- Although "pop music" can be used to describe any music that is popular, pop music refers to songs with a simple melody and beat, having a repetitive structure, and is easy to sing along.
- Rock
- Music with heavy use of guitar, drums, bass; strong beat.
- Soft rock
- A genre of rock music, using similar instruments and others such as the piano. Lyrics are usually "less confrontational" than rock music.
- Electronic
- A general term for music where the instrumental track is largely synthesizer-based.
- Classical
- Classical music in this article refers to Western classical music styles of the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic era (1600-1910).
- Orchestra music
- A genre of classical music. Instruments include woodwinds, brass, percussion, and strings.
Less common styles used in Chou's music:
- Hip hop soul
- A genre of R&B and soul singing styles, mixed with hip hop beats. Lyrics tend to be darker in theme.
- Spanish
- Involves distinct Spanish musical styles such as Flamenco music and the use of instruments such as the Flamenco guitar.
- Tango
- See Tango and Argentine music
- Bossanova
- A type of music which originated from Brazil.
- Lullaby
- Tonally simple music intended for children.
