I'm sure many people can relate to me here. There was a long time in my life where I didn't know what genre of music I liked.
Growing up I only heard what my parents, sisters, or what the radio had to play. I was surrounded by shit all my life. It was just hip-hop, country, and your occasional gay rock songs that became popular.
People would ask me if I listened to music and I honestly told them "I don't listen to music really." Then the reason why was that I simply just didn't like the music.
Now after so many years I found what music I like and found my favorite songs. Now when I play my music around my family they don't like my music -_- go figure. I had to deal with their shit my whole life and they can't handle it for 10 minutes...

Edited by Magiktako: 9/20/2015 5:56:36 AMI have the short end of the stick when it comes to music. I had nobody to show me the genres I listen to today except for myself. I have nobody to really share and collaborate about said genres, both family and friends. That said, if I were to meet someone who was very knowledgable on these genres, I'd look stupid because I only know so many songs, which my knowledge is limited to the fact that I don't have anyone to share with. I only progress when I go out of my own way to find new music, instead of learning it from others. I like other genres too, like grunge or alternative, but I don't get as crazy about it as other people, which makes me feel left out. Then they're blabbing about all these 'popular' people I should know, but I don't. It really does add on to the isolation in my mind and life.
