Lewis. A B.S Psychology student from the Mapua Malayan Colleges Mindanao. Music has always been a part in my life. I always carry around earphones with me on the go, so that I am able to listen to music when I'm on the public transport or while doing schoolwork. Music genre does not matter to me, but for this I am choosing OPM music. OPM or Original Pinoy Music was a term that was established in the 70s and 80s as a successor to the 'Manila Sound' era.]]> 2023-05-12 08:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mlewis3072/b4cag9s6areqi3a7/wish/2588426401 mlewis3072 https://padlet.com/mlewis3072/b4cag9s6areqi3a7/wish/2588450702 The OPM definition refers to any musical composition with or without lyrics, originally created by a, Filipino, whether the lyrics be in Pilipino, English or other foreign languages, or any other Philippine dialect.

As well as their distinct fashion style and theatrical performances.]]> 2023-05-12 09:08:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mlewis3072/b4cag9s6areqi3a7/wish/2588450702 mlewis3072 https://padlet.com/mlewis3072/b4cag9s6areqi3a7/wish/2588459963 According to the Uses and Gratification Theory, individuals actively choose and use media to satisfy their personal needs and desires.
