WHERE MUSIC LISTENS TO YOU

One Love

Posted over 3 years ago
I must admit that I analyze certain things a bit much. Being that music is one of my life priorities, it gets a lot of cognitive analysis. Over and over the most puzzling musical riddle is this - Why would anyone choose to like one, or very few genres of music and no others?It seems to me that there are tons of people who stick with one cozy little corner of beats, nestle themselves down real tight, and banish the thoughts of other realms of appreciation. Could it be some form of sentimental distatchment from evil childhood figures? Could it be rockheadedness? Fear maybe? Simplicity? I try my hardest to avoid sterotypical attatchments...I try not to rip these people violently from their closets...I try to understand...For those of you who have clean cut collections, let me know what it is that turns you off from other markets of music. I used to say, "I like everything...well except country really". In the long run I learned a hard lesson. That I like all music and that there are good and bad in every genre. I know it's all very personal and subjective, but I crave to know why certain people steer clear, be it rock, rap, country, classical...For those of you who are diverse in rhythmic ranks, do you ever wonder about this issue?

  1. Slewzeus says Yea...I've thought about it some...I think that people are introduced initially to music by parents,friends, ect. and they like it...I do believe that good music is an absolute that anyone could enjoy if they allow prejudices to fall away...just like any prejudice we learn it...I had an anti-rap / country thing going on when I was younger...but I now have a great appreciate for both...it boils down to "If it sounds good, it is good" ~ Duke Ellington Good post

  4. tybees says I think when most people say the don't like country, it's the mainstream crap country playing on the radio. Someone once said that mainstream country is the "special olympics" of music. I believe it. If it makes me closed minded, I don't care, I HATE it. Most rap I can't stand either. It's not a lack of music appreciation, it's that when I hear a rapper rapping, he/she is talking about shit that I can't relate to. I'm a suburban white boy. I prefer to hear singing over spatting rhymes. I do like Outkast & the Roots though. Also, extreme hardcore/death metal does not sit well with me. I can't help it and I won't. I need some sugar with my evil, y'know? This opinion can and will change over time, I hope :)

  6. Egress says My favorite responses so far: If it sounds good, it is good Expand our headbands country is the special olympics of music this opinion can and will change over time one more thing... PIMP - are you serious that you've never had a vivacious spin around the polka dance floor? You must give it a try sometime. I think you may just like it. And that goes for all of you. Word
