Most people consider pump up music to be hard rock or metal (a.k.a screamo). and most of the time this is true. Songs that have lots of enthusiasim in them generally get a person pumped up. and most of the time it is being blared. calm down music is the total opposite. usually they are quite songs with slow melodys or beats. everyones pump up and relaxing songs/artist are different but here are a few that i like.
Pump Up:
- bullet for my valentine
- slipknot
- disturbed
- escape the fate
- metallica
calm:
- matt nathanson
- john mayer
- incubus
there are all kinds of different genres for different moods (working out, before a game, angry, etc). that is why a lot of people cant live without music in their lives, because it cheers them up or makes them feel better when nobody else can.
