Remember That Music Is Subjective
People are allowed to have their own opinions.
I have been a huge music lover my entire life and I noticed that a lot of people don't understand that others are allowed to like different music than them.
I have seen people say "this music is crap" or "this isn't real music" when in reality, yeah it is real music. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's not real. I have no idea where this notion started but it needs to end.
I know that there are many people including myself who hate listening to music out in public for fear of being judged for the music that we listen to and like. Even when I'm alone I use earphones just because I'm so used to it. We need to stop judging and realize that each individual is just that their own unique person with their own likes. Maybe one day we'll get to that point but right now is obviously not the time.
So to the people that judge others for the music they listen to I have a question for you: what do you gain for putting others down? Do you feel better about yourself for it or is there some other psychological reason that I'm just unsure of? There has to be a reason. Or (and the most likely one) just someone who needs to get a better life instead of telling people what they can and cannot listen to. They're not hurting you with their likes and dislikes.
The same goes for people who don't like certain music and are often judged for that as well. As I stated earlier, everybody is different and is allowed to like and not like whatever they please and shouldn't be seen as different or weird or odd or any other word you can insert here. Let people listen to what they want to listen to. We'll have a more accepting world one day. I'm hoping that day is soon.
