Switching Styles,  a music blog, all started during a car ride with my family, and I had the AUX cord.

“Not another cover,” groans my little sister, “Don’t you have other music?”

“Nope, not really,” I tell her unapologetically.

This is how it all started. My sister’s annoyance with my fascination for covers, parodies, and remixes. This publication started because of the sentiment, “Tell someone that cares.” This fascination has led to a blog all about the different styles of various songs and artists, from comedy to reggae, to metal, to anything you can imagine.

Switching Styles is a way to connect with others who love weird and obscure music.
When it’s all said and done, she does have to admit that there are a lot of great covers out there. Switching Styles is here to bring you content centred around covers and parodies. Switching Styles is an online blog or publication that follows the topic of music. It focuses on weird, obscure, random topics and overarching music news. It’s a bit of a mixed bag. Focusing on music, this blog aims to bring exciting content and musical suggestions to its audience.

Why start a blog on cover and parody songs?

The short answer is that I like them enough to put them into a blog. I find them on YouTube, or I stumble upon them on Facebook. It interests me as a writer and a journalist, so I research them. I talk with people about them. The more I do those things, the more interested I get. I’m delighted by them, and I want to share that with people.

What’s the story behind the blog? The Long Answer?

The long answer starts with being an older sister. I grew up with a little sister. She’s annoying, but she’s my best friend. Anyway, we both have a love of music, but our musical tastes don’t always seem to mesh. We both like music that ranges from metal to rap, to reggae, to pop, and beyond. Though there’s a lot of chance for crossover, it doesn’t mean it happens often.

Thus, to avoid any hassle while driving anywhere, we would take turns controlling the AUX cord. Either you get to control the music, or you get to have the front seat. With the AUX cord, it’s a chance to show off new songs and hear the grumbling coming from the front seat. Both of us are guilty of this grumbling at one point or another. The main thing my sister complains about is the number of covers I have on my phone. For certain songs, I have numerous versions. For other songs, I don’t even have the original. This is her main complaint, as she generally prefers the originals to the covers.

Later, I knew I wanted to start a blog and asked my baby sister what I should write about. She was really helpful and said that I could write about anything my heart desires. Since that didn’t narrow it down, I knew I wanted to write about something that I care about, that I find cool, and that I spend time on anyway. Thus, covers seemed like a decent idea. The more I considered it, the more I realized that I could do it and enjoy it.

Music Blog Conclusion

The simple answer to the long story is that I started a blog about covers and parodies because I wanted to share them with people. I want to write about unique songs because they aren’t the original.
