Ok so last year i did an assignment were we could choose any topic and research it, i of course chose music. I no sadly no longer have the research paper that i wrote but i pretty much found out what im going to blog about in this post. So im going to tell you a little about me and my relationship with music. When i was little, I grew up listening to whatever my parents listened to as i grew older i still loved what my dad did. I was in love with rock music, my dad taught me everything that i know about all of the rock music i listened to, and still to this day i listen to rock music. Since my dad hated country, and pop, as did I. My dad listened to any type of rock and some other things but what he liked i developed a liking for. I really didnt have a choice its what i grew up with.
As i got older i started to hang out with my friends and they all happened to like rock too, however they listened to more heavy metal than i did, eventually they introduced me to more things and i started to like heavy metal as well, but i still hated country, rap, and pop. As I grew up I gained more friends with different tastes in music, and gradually developed my own liking for different kinds of music. I dont like all music, there is (in each genera of music) some song or band that i dont like (some more than others). I grew up listening to rock but as I got older i gained a very eclectic taste for music, I love a little bit of every type of music (rock is and will always be my favorite) country, rock, pop, hip-hop, jazz, rap, you name it.
Music opinions can change as you get older, just as music changes over time. I think that at first for most people their taste in music is based on their parents, but as they get older their friends change it (maybe a little, maybe completely). eventually there is a time when a person should just sit down (alone) and turn on the music, see what it means to them, dont worry about other people and just see what it is that they like for themselves. A lot can change they way you feel about music, even religion. Sometimes its nice to like a variety of music, because some days you might want to head bang, and some days you might wanna sing and car dance with your girl friends in the car. sometimes music can completely change the way we think about a situation, and sometimes it can give you answers to questions that you didnt know that you needed an answer to. Sometimes it feels that the music knows exactly what youre feeling, the music is expressing the exact emotion or even a similar story to the one youre living. Music is amazing, no matter what kind. Give it a chance.
I guess what the point of this post is is to both explain how taste can change with age, and the the people who mean something to you, and that no matter what, you may think that you hate a type of music out there, but dont give up on it. Give it a try you might be surprised and find that you like it more than you thought.
