What do you void listening?

I find making blanket statements about entire genres insulting and degrading.

It's mainly just ignorant.

What music one chooses to listen to is, in great part, dependent on your life experiences.

When you took that first ride in a red convertible on a warm summer night with a stunning blond sitting next to you, you're pretty much going to like whatever you remember was playing on the radio.

If your father was a concert violinist, you're going to like classical music.

If all your friends in high school shunned a particular band, likely you will too.

Is an acquaintance was a fan of fusion jazz and took the time to explain it to you, you're at least going to consider listening to it.

If you attend a liver performance, whatever is played is going to move up on your preference list.

So this thread really has nothing to do with music

"So this thread really has nothing to do with music"

Bingo, its about likes and dislikes. Nothing ignorant about a man who knows what he likes and doesn't like.

I'm with Goose all the way.

Hip hop and rap are dying styles now. Not as many young black Americans nowdays listen to it as it used to be 5...6 years ago. Substantially less other young folks from other ethnic groups listen to that either. It's fading away in most of the US AMEN. I can see these statistics as I sell music. HipHop and rap records or CDs are dead investment and hardest to sell
