Vocal

Vocal music, which has been around since humanity discovered it could produce sounds other than just grunts, began taking shape in earnest during the Middle Ages when monks serenaded the heavens, possibly to distract from their dodgy haircut choices. Characterised by the human voice being the primary instrument, this genre ranges from operatic arias to cheerful pub singalongs, proving that sometimes a good tune is just a pint away. It's a charming reminder that, despite all the fancy technology, nothing quite beats belting out a ballad with mates—preferably after a few too many shandies.
