Man I hate it when people criticize me for listening to music other than Hip Hop or R&B. Like just because I am black I'm not allowed to listen to other genres wth, I can't help it that I am a diverse person and have a versatile range of music. My Itunes library consist of Country music, Classical, Punk, Pop, Blues, House as well as Rap, R&B and everything in between....
It bugs me when people talk shit about me listening to underground music or music of artist who are known but not super popular yet. I am very open to new music that I have never heard before I give the song and artist a complete chance before I write them off, I won't say, "Oh I never heard of this person before so I'm not going to listen or they're probably wack", or "This isn't an R&B or Hip Hop song so I know I'm not going to like it." That's not fair to the artist and its not fair to me because I could really be missing out on some really good music. And if you know me, you know I LOVE music and I cant/wont pass up a good thing....
Anyway I'm thinking of all this because I have a friend that is always talking shit about the type of music I listen to and the sad part about it is this person claims to be a diverse and open minded person. But the fact that this person automatically wants to turn the song or says that they don't like it only after 2 seconds of the song has played, would suggest otherwise....
I guess my main thing is if I don't judge you negatively for the variety or lack of variety of music you listen, then don't judge me. We are not all the same and we are going to have different likes and dislikes but that's part of what makes having friends fun because you get to learn new things from each other and in the process you learn about yourself....
