Ok…
So one time when I was working at one of the many jobs I have worked at one of my old co workers came up to me and asked me what kind of music I listen to? I told him I listen to mainly rock, jazz, some hip hop. He than proceeded to look at me astonished and asked me if I listen to r & b? I told him that I hardly listen to r & b and he seemed shocked because he is black and I am black and we are genetically designed to listen to r & b, he seemed shocked that I said rock as the first genre of music I love.
I wasn’t sure if I was offended or relieved but I kind of was thinking he just stereotyped me even though we are the same race. Listen you can listen to whatever you want, who is to say what you are supposed to listen to because you are white and you are to listen to nothing but pop and country music? That makes no sense, people are dumb sometimes.
Growing up I listened to every type of genre of music, my music of choice however was rock, pop, and rap. Rock was and is my favorite music to listen to though. I remember when I got Disturbed’s first album, my mom saw it on the table, picked it up, and said,”ew what is on the cover of this?” “why would you listen to this type of music?”
My mom is by far the most judgmental woman I know, if it isn’t reggae or r & b, it’s weird to her. My mother and I don’t talk, we can’t be in the same room for long periods of time, I like it that way.
As I get older, my taste of music as evolved to a little more pop, jazz, rock, some country; I couldn’t be happier because that is what I like dammit. I listen to a lot of music from the 90s and blast it in my car, sing uncontrollably. When Backstreet Boys came out I didn’t have a car so now that I do, I plays what I feels loudly.
I think many people have a misconception of me, they think I’m just an angry, shy, and dumb fool; well they are wrong. I would like to think I am smart, I speak proper english, I have a sense of humor, I can be angry, and I am sensitive; pretty normal to me. I think people think I listen to Usher and Trey Songz all day, I don’t, I don’t care about them as much as I care about Miles Davis, Nirvana, and Spice Girls. Listening to Trey Songz will make your panties drop, that is sex music.
I think we are all unique souls. I believe I am an old soul that was born in the wrong era, I really do believe it. I think I am more mature than most people but hey it’s all good; be yourself, love who you are, listen to opera, if it makes you happy, do it, people suck. 🙂
