How to understand the rhythm of music

1. Hip-hop originated from Black culture. It is a laid-back and elegant form of music, named after the original rap lyric "SAY HIP YOU DON'T STOP". It is divided into RAP (rap, tongue twisters), REGGAE (reggae, originating from Yamaha), TRIP-HOP (confused, melancholic), FUNKY (tight, rhythmic, and upbeat), R&B (rhythm and blues), BLUE (pure blues), JAZZ (jazz music), ROOK (rock), SOUL (soul music), POP SLOW (popular music), FUNK (funk ), and RAP FUNKY FUNK (collectively known as Hip-hop). For example, (1) REGGAE: relatively relaxed and lively, symbol R2 (2) RAP: tough and dry, symbol R1 (3) R&B: style is similar to the previous two, the music is more lyrical, the rhythm is blue, symbol R3 The above three types have a BPM of less than 125 beats, and the rhythmic expression is: A. V^. VV^ (boom boom boom boom) B. VV^. VV^

2. HOUSE: has a mysterious and quiet feel, and is good at expressing its connotation through changes in rhythm, drumbeats and melody. The BPM is above 120 beats. HOUSE types include: ENERGY ATTEMATIVE HOUSE, DISCO HOUSE (with vocals, blending 70s DISCO and FUNK styles), TECHNO HOUSE, SOFE HOUSE (soft and gentle), SOFE HOUSE (hard), TRANCE HOUSE (more pop and sophisticated), DREAM HOUSE, TRIBAL HOUSE (tribal style, featuring powerful electronic synthesizers, Belgian-style bass, male rap, female vocals, a modern and "spacey" feel, explosive rhythms, and incorporating drums and metal music), HAPPY HOUSE, DRUM'S & BASS, DREAK BEAT, POP HOUSE, RAVE, and SONG OF HOUSE.

 3. TECHNO: Techno dance music, it feels very mysterious, mechanized, and uses a lot of modern scientific and technological equipment in the middle to mix, similar to TECHNO HOUSE, such as heavy metal.

 4. TRIP-HOP: Combined with electronic and music tones combined with timbre sampling, combined into processing and other means, with weird, miserable, color singing style, music sounding distracted, faint, psychologically slightly abnormal, neurotic mood.

 5. FUNKY: The rhythm is strong, cheerful, and the rhythm is relatively tight. Rhythmic Expression: VV^. VV^, similar to HIP-HOP rhythms, but with tight intervals

 6. POP: Pop continental beat, vocal performance is a lot, similar to HIP-HOP rhythm, but the BPM is above 125 beats.

 7. DRUM "N" BASS: Electronic music (JUNGLE), drum beats change faster, is a kind of JUNGLE electronic music. The dance party is crazy, but the music is infinitely accessible.

 8. BREAK BEAT: The third beat of the traditional 4/4 time HOUSE becomes two fast and small "crackling" beats.
