Music

You know what’s awesome? Music. Music is just awesome. All types of music. We all have our preferences…I have a really wide range of music taste…I like Metal and Rock (and all the subgenres of the two), Rap, Hip Hop, Folk, Classical, etc…and I don’t like country.

Now that I’ve established that…I know there are people you probably don’t like at least one of those, and does like country. See, it’s all preference. I think that people should respect other peoples preference in music. There is no “bad” music. There is music that lacks in originality, skill, and being listenable, but that doesn’t make it BAD just because you say it does. Someone out there likes it.

Metal, for example, is disliked by many people. I understand why, they don’t like the screaming. They don’t like how “loud” it is. Seriously, I don’t mind people not liking it…just don’t say it’s BAD; because it’s not. Metal, to be honest, has a LOT of skill, and technicality in it (depending on who you listen to…).

What I look for in music is originality, technicality, and listenability. Sometimes one outweighs the others…so yes, I do listen to music just because it’s fun to listen to, or “catchy”.

Anyway, back to what I was saying a the start, Music is awesome. Lyrics are awesome. Music has endless reaches, and can be changed or altered into anything. Lyrics can be about anything. You can take your life now, and apply it to SOME song written out there. Lyrics can apply to anyone. I love when you listen to a song and it applies exactly to how my life is. Don’t you?
