(Turino,150)

Music is a primary way that people articulate the collective identities that are fundamental to forming and sustaining social groups, which are in turn, basic to survival. (Turino, 2)

Many people identified themselves through music style  sounds heard outside that represented how they felt and who they were inside. (Turino, 93)

I have owned all of these devices throughout my lifetime to help me listen to the music that I love. So each of these devices holds a particular special importance to me by individually holding a piece of my musical identity. Although I can listen to all of the music throughout the decades on my iPhone there is a nostalgic beauty to listening to the music on the corresponding device that was used during that decade. It helps me capture a feeling of what it was like to listen to that song during that point in time.

This is one of my most favorite songs to wake up to and want to listen to while getting ready in the mornings. It has been described as one of the most recognized and popular instrumentals of the 20th century. This song has aged wonderfully as it is still so enjoyable to me 80 years after its release. Not only that, but is still used and pop culture today such as in the TV show American dad. Such a timeless classic is what introduced me to the old music genre of the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s.

That is not to say that there is not someone who has the same musical preferences as me, but I think each person's musical preferences distinguish them as a person just like a fingerprint. I do not come across many people who enjoy listening to both extremely old music and new music as well as modern genres. I tried to find the beauty in all music and I think that is what makes me unique and my musical identity.

My musical identity has been a constant changing and constantly evolving thing. As a child I grew up with parents that listen to a very diverse amount of music. As I got older I was constantly encouraged to try new music, and was never told that there was any kind of music that I could not listen to. This led me to try many genres of music and find that I had no genre that was my favorite. It wasn't that I did not like any of the genres, it was that I enjoyed all of them equally. My music genre choice would change from day to day. I would listen to rap, rock, pop, R&B, country, Latin, electronic, and world music all the time. I believe this helped develop my sense of self as someone who does not identify with any particular group and that I can find similarities in any person I come across no matter their cultural background. I greatly believe that my taste in music says a lot about me as a person. I believe that it explains why I am a person with no prejudice against others, because just like my taste in music I was raised without being taught that anyone was better than someone else just like how I was taught that no certain genre of music what is better than another and that if anyone said so it was just a matter of opinion and never is that of fact. I love all types of music even if it is in a language that I don't understand. There is just something so magical about music. You don't even have to know the words to the song or the language of what they are saying but the melody can be so good that you're still trapped with the song stuck in your head. Music is a huge part of my identity, as it is a huge part of my life, and a huge passion of mine. No matter what I am doing whether it be working, studying, going to sleep, or simply relaxing, music stays with me all the time weather is being played out loud or simply in my head, and this is why I believe music as a part of my identity. Not a certain genre of music, but music itself is my identity.

One thing that I love about electronic music is that I feel that I can turn it on, set back in my chair and melt away. It's almost like a musical high, where are you feel as if your whole body is melting with the song. I also love how electronic music can be played to the background of almost anything that I am doing and I can continue doing that thing without being distracted. However that is not the case with other genres of music that I commonly listen to as I find myself distracted constantly by trying to sing along to a song. I was first introduced to electronic music through YouTube in 2012, and since then it has been one of my favorite genres of music to listen to, especially while studying.
