What is mellow music?

According to Wikipedia:

Mellow, an English word which is a synonym for smooth or relaxed. It is often used as a description of flavours, sounds and music, or of an attitude or feeling.

So mellow music is music that is soft, calm, relaxed, laid-back, smooth … it has an aura of relaxation, of meaningful silence. It places you in a world without troubles or discomforts. Mostly it is simply though deep. Although it leaves you in a dream, it doesn’t make you numb. On the contrary, it makes you feel, it gives you this small butterfly-in-stomage-effect.

Another good description is given in the description of Soft Egg (a Last.fm-group):

All kind of music that is emotional but not cheezy, slow but not boring, diversified but not funny, melancholic but not depressing (well, maybe a little bit :).

But still … everyone interprets this in their way. You still can have mellow dance (that is now popular under ‘Lounge’), mellow house, etc. … But here we’re mainly going to focus on mellow pop/rock, since this is what people mostlly see under mellow music.

Who are you?

Some people will wonder who I am (probably many don’t care :p) and since this is the about-page, I’ll give a bit more information.

I am a belgian student, currently in my last year at university. I love music! Especially mellow music … this varies from alternative rock to poppy indie.

Here are some stats about my music preferences of last.fm:
