Musical Stereotype

First of all please view the following link. It is crucial to the blog's topic.

When I saw this for the first time I laughed and laughed. It really brightened up my day. While I was reading through it I noticed some of the MAJOR musical stero-types coupled with how much people hate their jobs. Please note that I am speaking in the stereotypical forms and they do not represent my actuall feelings towards said type of music.

Phase one uses Jazz music. More or less Jazz music is listened to by people who are laid back, mellow, and overall are relaxed. Also, Jazz music is a good way to relax. First day of work you're feeling awesome and 'wishaw' esque. You are just kind of chilling and loving work and of course loving life.

Phase two uses Pop music. Pop music is up beat and makes you want to dance. It is frequently used when somone needs to feel more up-tempo or work out etc. etc. At work things have gotten VERY busy; sign here, initial there, type this, answer the phone, watch your email. Oh, man it's hectic. You're bouncing off the walls trying to keep up. Are you at work or have you been transposed into a music video for a popular Pop artist?

Phase 3 uses Heavy Metal. Heavy metal is that deep, sometimes dark, and always loud music that makes you want to 'head bang'. You want to thrust your head back and forth and scream along with the music. You've been working now for 6 months. You know how to handle the speed of everythign but man this job has gotten stressful. Time for some headbanging. Maybe something will get in your way and you will slam your head. Wohoo a day off!!(even if it does result in a headache and possible medical bills)!!!

Phase 4 uses Hip-Hop. Hip hop is listened to by stoners. People who lay around and get fat. They wear baggy clothes to make themselves look even fatter OR if they are a skinny whiteboy that wears layers of baggy close to make themselves look fatter. You have the general feeling of 'Oh yeah man...the walls are moving'. You're at work with a bandage on your head. You had a little to much fun with the headbanging. You are having hard time fitting into your cubical. You are convinced it has gotten smaller; the walls are moving...closing in! In all actuality you have just gotten super fat.

Phase 5 uses Gangsta Rap. Gangsta rap is the screwed up hybrid between Hip-Hop and Heavy Metal. You don't go full out headbanging but you are bobbing you're head around and dancing in your chair a little bit. Your at work completely convinced that your cubicle has it out for you. Your doing your little dance when the chair breaks. You have become so freaking fat that you can't even function. Your hair is a mess and you belly is falling out of your shirt. This is completely pathetic but your are almost to your mental breaking point.

Phase 6 are the Voices in Your Head!!! Over another period of time you have lost all of the weight you put on and thensome. You have been pushed past your psycological limit and are listening to the voices in your head. You are twitchy and don't trust anyone. You have moved on from believing your cubical has it out for you to believing your over cheary co-workers are coming for you. You mumble to yourself and type continously on your computer. But today is your lucky day!! Your best friends are here to see you!! You smile and wave to the men in the white suites. You are so ecstatic that you are going on a field trip as they escort you from your cubicle and into the plush van.

A lot of people would look at these stereotypes and laugh. They are extreme but two some degree they are all the ways that people actually look at those types of music. There is no real way to fix a stereotype. People are always going to have their opinions and that is what is great about the lives we live. we are free to believe what we want and how we want.
