We all have our own musical tastes. Not all music affects us the same way. I started out 0-12 yrs old having nothing but the music that made me happy. The rest was just... blah, little opinion. Kind of not there.

Then i got into guitar music mainly metal 14-16 yrs and it became tribal. Belonging. Inside and outside. I ignored a lot of good music due to attitude.

Luckily i still listened to all the music of my time . And so i can now listen again without prejudice.

But still it was nearlly all guitar based. Some of my best friends who love music and have major collections only have guitar based stuff.

I got lucky cause my dad sowed the seeds early aged 6 with jmj and vangelis. I'm so grateful now i love synth stuff. I was 19 in '91 living in Stoke on Trent with two major rave clubs and a broad enough mind to have friends who could introduce me there. Happy days. My music collection thanks you.

Guess not. You're taking the piss. Fair enough. Everyone does. I don't fit too well. Boo hoo.

I am not following every single drama on this forum. I am afraid I do not understand what you mean.
I guess people on the internet assume everyone has the same culture, the same background. Your explanation regarding the fact you grew up listenning to JMJ inspired me. 2 artists I really love (among many others). JMJ and Ennio Morricone. None of them have any links to my Caribbean background. So I agreed and I shared something that is not from my culture but I love, with you.

I love the music I shared.
Musical prejudice. Not just.
I am not your enemy.

No one would admit to being my friend.

And I've been here forever.

In our family, Rap has been dissed, including Rock to some extent. I even felt guilty and sort of sick when listening to Wildstyle in GTA Vice City, haha.

I found RUN DMC - Rock Box pretty cool. It's Rock and Rap, lol.
...but I also was hooked on The Message, Bassline, Clear, etc. Okay, oldschool hip hop, but to be fair, the later rap songs made the genre look pretty bad.

Morale: it's not about the genre, but the music itself. At some point, I decided to listen to what I like - nothing else mattered.
Last song (before I started a learning-hiatus a few years ago) that I finished, was sort of a mixture of everything that influenced me. xD

I think a lot of it has to do with how we grow up, certainly. When I was younger, I had very specific genres of music I thought were awesome, and all others sucked, and anyone who listened to those other genres "just didn't get it". As i've grown older, I've come to respect almost all forms of music, realizing that this is much more part of the human condition and being a human, than anything. I fell in love with music in general, not just specific genres. There's something redeemable in pretty much everything out there, IMHO.

Now being prejudice against bad grammar is another thing entirely. Stay in school, kids! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Reasontalk is free therapy. I know no one is "my friend" on the internet. Only people I've known in real life for at least 15 years are my friends.

Yikes - I can't use the same bar for measuring real friends with new people. I'd be way too old to enjoy their company if I waited that long for them to make the grade! :lol: I give people 1-2 years before I welcome them into my "friend" circle IRL. Of course, their mileage may vary, and it depends on how close I get to them before I'll share too much.

I guess we all differ. I can make a friend in a day. Some people i just 'get'. Almost like i don't need 15 years to know them.

Edit: surprisingly often it comes after an initial conflict... I've known coo since we were 12 and had a fight in maths class. Happy days.

Oh that's lost to history. I'm ok with my negativity. It feels like a natural response to my world.

As for me and coo. 34 years, that's a brolove in modern terms. He has 2 families. I have none. He got no education and has constantly out earned me. His dick is bigger than mine (marginally). I'm more intelligent than he is (for bettr and worse). We just get each other. And he takes the time to remain friends. Appreciates its importance

It is free and it's the kitchen so take it or leave it. My therapy opinion is that we all communicate for a reason. Those reasons are complex.

But i appreciate some people find soul searching posts uncomfortable.

I am here to stay. I love musical prejudices. It defines what soul searching is all about. :puf_smile:

Grew up listening to Rnb, soul, reggae, etc.

Then at 16 I discovered Muse.

Well before that I was playing lots of Nirvana and other guitar music, but Muse was the band that really changed everything. Then came Linkin' Park and the first Evanescence album.

I've since indulged in everything from Arabic to Eastern European gypsy music.

Only thing I still can't get my head around is Country music. I can appreciate a few acapellas. In fact now I think of it their acapellas are pretty awesome.
