How to create hype up music

Hey everyone! So today, I’m going to share with you all how to create hype music. 

Let’s get into it. 

What is hype music?

So I don’t think there is a textbook definition of what is hype music, but I’ll do my best to explain it right here. 

Hype music is music you listen to that your purpose in listening to the music is to get inspired and amped up for a big event.

It could be music that literally elevates your heartrate, it could be music that’s just plain inspirational.

Either way it’s something that plays heavily on the emotions and you really need to hone in on your relatability skills in order to really find something that’s going to hype up people.

So let’s talk about the different types of hype music.

Hype music to workout to

So what happens is that you should know that hype music that you workout to is different than hype music that you listen to at the club. 

Hype music that you workout to has to be brighter and fast paced.

So this means that you use major tonalities and fast tempos.

In the terms of pop music it’s usually around 120bpms and above.

And major tonalities could mean a few different things but in all reality it just means using major scales and major chords.

And also when you make workout music that hypes you up, it usually means that you have to make music that amplifies your mood. So that means making music that’s actually happy.

And there’s a reason for that.

The reason is because when you are working out, and you listen to music that might be depressing or sad, it can actually cause you to stop your workout altogether.

Which is not ideal in workout music.

In workout music, you want to be able to continue your workout for hours.

So there’s that

Hype music anywhere else

Hype music anywhere else means that you’re just trying to feel like you’re the top dog there. 

But it doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re trying to do anything extraordinary physically. 

So Hype music anywhere else usually is faster as well but can be slower than workout music. 

In anywhere else, the tempo is usually around 100 bpms and above. But can be slightly slower depending on how great the rest of the song is. 

And also with anywhere else, you can use more minor tonalities but still being heavily influenced with major tonalities. 

So say for example in a four chord progression, you would use 2 minor chords instead of 1 and 2 major chords. 

But in all reality, if you’re trying to create a great pump up song, you should stick to no more than 2 minor chords in the chord progression in a 4 chord progression. 

And try and keep it major. 

Now those are some basic rules you can follow. 

So obviously not everything is set in stone. 

Like right now, I’m listening to a pump up song that’s mainly minor and relatively slow. 

However, the way that they mess around with it is that they put in fast elements into it so that way it can get your heart rate up. 

So like yeah you mess around with your pump up music however you want, I’m just giving some general guidelines.
