I was talking to my friend the other day, and we were talking about how people keep what kind of music they like such a secret. She says I'm the only person who gets access to her online play list without her breathing down my neck, skipping over certain songs. And she still has a separate play list for her "weirder" songs. I haven't shared mine with anybody.
Why are people so judgemental about what kind of music you like? One genre of music isn't necessarily better than any other, it's just a matter of what you prefer. And yet people feel like their music is the best, and anybody who likes anything different is weird and/or stupid.
People have the right to listen to what they want. They don't need you giving them grief because you might disagree about what you think is good music. You might like one kind of music, others might not, it doesn't matter. So why don't we leave it at "I won't bother you about what's on your play list, you don't bother me about what's on mine."
It's just music. It's not something to make a big deal out of.
Except, you know, music is a big deal to some of us :P **coughcoughperformingartsschoolcough**
ReplyDeleteMusic is very important and amazing, but does it really matter that much what kind?
ReplyDeleteOr rather should it matter what kind. It obviously does to some people.
