THIS. I've always felt strongly about this topic. Everyone has different tastes and interests so naturally some people like certain types of music while others don't. However if you claim the types of music you don't enjoy aren't real music then you are being very ignorant and close minded. There is good (opinion) and bad (opinion) music made from every single genre however it's all real music. The subject of a song also has no correlation to the quality of it, for the most part. Music isn't made personally for you, it's usually based on the particular singer or bands life and things in general they can relate to. If you can't relate to it that doesn't make it any less real. I listen to rap, hip-hop, rock, alternative, and EDM (electronic dance music). I don't really enjoy country music all that much, however just like the genres I do listen to, I realize that countries singers can be just as talented as anyone else and they produce quality music. You don't have to like something to respect and appreciate it.People who want you to accept their music taste, but call the music you listen to crap.
