Now that we’re thinking critically about genre this week, let’s look at some specific examples!

Choose a song in your favorite genre (if you can pick a favorite). Note that this does not have to be the same genre you chose for our genre assignment!

Listen to the song again and provide a link so that we can hear it, too. Think rhetorically about the features that mark this song as an example of this genre, and maybe even take some notes as you listen.

Justify yourself. What about this song– use musical terminology here!– reveals that it indeed belongs to this genre?
Why does this song speak to you?
Why does this genre speak to you?
