I happen to like the Good Charlotte Band, Busta Rhymes, Pink, Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Lopez. Each one of those Music Artists fall in the categorys of music that I listen to. I'm very versitile. Rock music may have alot of Screaming and you can barley hear all of the instruments but that doesn't mean it's bad music. Some rap songs may seem pointless or have no meaning, but every song tells a story, you just got to listen to the words of the song. I don't appreciate it when any and everyone discriminates a certain music category, but I'm glad the music industry doesn't care because rather if you like their music or not, there not doing it for just YOU!
I agree with what you're saying CoasterPeeps3. I am African American too, and I listen to and love all types of music from classical to heavy metal. I say listen to what you enjoy, who cares what style it is or if it is normally accepted by a certain ethnic group. That's not what it's all about.[:)]
