A band that I choose to blog about has been around for a very long time and there are also popular and influence a lot of people. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are typically known as a rock group but I would have to say that a lot of their songs sound like pop and alternative music. All of their music has meanings and lots of emotions to them, some emotions to some of their songs include sadness and loneliness. One song that describes these emotions is called The Otherside. On the other hand the song called Scare tissue has an emotion of relief and comfort. The overall felling of their albums and songs all relate and form one emotion; pureness. The Red Hot Chili Peppers have such a popular sound that a lot of other bands and artists sometimes get mistaken as them like Coldplay and The Goo Goo Dolls. The similarities include the instrumental music like the guitar and drums. Another similarity also includes the voice of the singer which puts the groups in a specific genre which I thought they fitted in more of an alternative and rock sounding genre. A lot of the Red Hot Chili Peppers songs relate to me and a lot of other people as well, the songs describe some troubles and some times in life that are not very delightful but I would say that this music can help us get through those times. Of course not everyone would agree with me and some critics would disagree on my opinions. I would definitely take time to just listen to some of the songs and you might get an idea and understanding of the group and that they are a big part of the music industry. I would definitely recommend buying and listening to an album. Even if you are not a rock genre or alternative listener you might still love the sound and feel to their music.
