Is anyone else here as narrow minded (musically) as I am?

also considering the fact that he has done no research and has had very limited exposure to blacks outside of his very few personal experiences and his "hypothesis" is clearly worthless.

I guess I should just chalk it up to my experience living here in Buttfuck Ohio. but you can't disapprove that notion either. I bet neither of us have been all around the world and have experienced various cultures throughout. I think its just a matter of personal experience. I mean things may be different for you in Jersey and I guess thats ok.

Ive given most styles of music a shot, and I listen to quite a bit more than metal. However, metal's the only genre I $upport right now, i'm sure i'll tire of metal eventually and move on to other genres. Rap was a phase I went thru and for some reason the style of music doesn't sit well with me anymore. I can't listen to it at all, and I grew up on it. there's nothing wrong with having narrow tastes if you've given other types of music a chance, shit isn't for everyone.

I found some music in just about every genre of music that I like except for songwriters. Songwriters are way overrated and in my opinion they are as boring as blah. But imo metal is the best out of every genre.

Stereotypes are often terrible portrayals of a certain culture or lifestyle, but there is some truth to it as they aren't generated out of nothing. I admit I do get the impression that black people preferably listen to rap/hip-hop over metal, prefer basketball over hockey, and for example, if you watch boxing, black boxers tend to hold more faith in their religion. To deny this is ignorant, but at the same time it obviously doesn't amount to absolute truth.

In saying this, I think its a lot easier to stereotype a non-white race. Partially do to the fact that 'white people' are often mixed with more cultural background than say asians, natives or black people. And I mean this in a way that there really aren't as many pure white people as there are pure asians etc. I live in Canada btw.

Half the black people on my campus act like retards...and they dress like 50 cent. The other half are from Africa, and are quite cool guys.


I found out some motherfucker attacked a WWII veteran today as he was trying to steal his car...I'm so fucking pissed right now. Punched him in the skull more than ten times...

Songwriters isn't a genre, but that's only the beginning of what's wrong with your post.

Some of the backpack rappers are white, actually the big majority of them are - Eyedea (for the record I've never heard a better freestyle/battle rapper than Eyedea), Slug, Sage Francis, Aesop Rock, Mac Lethal, etc. but there are a few like k-os and Pigeon John that're black. I've found that the fans are mostly white.
