Forms of Music

Like all cultures there are many different genres of music:
And like all genres of songs there are new styles as well as old styles.

Romantic
This genre happens to be my mothers favorite type of music. Though she prefers to listent to the older versions of this style than the newer version. I on the other hand would rather listen to the new style of romantic music than the old one any day...though there are some classics...

Kabhi Kabhi - Kabhi Kabhie
Dekha Ek Khwab-SilSila

New:
Saans - Jab Tak Hai Jaan

Hip Hop
This genre is pretty well known to most of the younger generation and much more preferred than the the older more romantic music. Actually most of my friends enjoy listening and dancing to this style of music more than any other...

Old:
Bolo Ta Ra Ra - Daler Mehndi
Jhalak Dikhla Ja - Emraan Hashmi
