Why is it that people so often judge
someone else on the type of music they listen to? Why is it that whenever some
teenage girl says that she likes One Direction that automatically means that
she can’t like The Beatles or Mozart or Fall Out Boy or any other artist that
the person she has opened up to deems to make ‘good’ music? Because heaven
forbid someone listens more than one genre of music!
I
admit - I may not be entirely innocent when it comes to judging people on the
music they like. But I can still recognise how stupid I’m being and think to
myself:
‘You
go love that band! And that one! And any music you want!’
Because, really, another person’s taste in
music is neither my business nor my problem.
We
spend way too long worrying about (or should I say examining) someone else’s
taste in music. Way too long. Sure, talk
about a band as a common interest but don’t say how much you hate them if the
other person has already stated that they're their favourite band. That’s honestly just plain
rude. Why should you make a person feel bad just because they like a band that
you probably don’t care all that much about? It’s just getting them down over
nothing – and what’s the use in spreading even more negativity than there already is in the world?
If
someone wants to listen to classical music and rock music: let them.
Heck
if they want to listen to a classical-rock fusion let them!
Let them listen to any type of music they want!
If it makes them happy, why should it be a
problem?
