wow...the ignorance in this thread is amazing!
talk about generalizing!
"Anyone who likes country music is a hillbilly, has more beer empty's in his pickup truck than teeth in his mouth, has a confederate flag license plate frame & has gun rack mounted in his truck. Not to mention the big "Git R Done" graphic that they have on their window"
"Anyone who likes classical music, is an tight-A$$ preppy, driving their camry in the slow lane @ the designated 55mph on the way to their luncheon with their country club snob friends"
"Anyone who likes heavy metal is a leather wearing biker, who hasn't shaved in 2 weeks & drinks all day & parties all night. They get into bar fights & ride in motorcycle gangs to the next bar only to do the same thing again."
all this is hilarious looking @ the fact that everyone that is criticizing rap music now, what was happening to you when you were a teenager? I'm sure your parents were telling you to "turn down that damn rock music" & that you shouldn't be listening to hendrix, kiss, led zeppelin, etc etc & thats not music @ all.
what do they say? "different strokes for different folks" Some people play their music to loud, yes, thats a given. But for those here that live in an appartment, condo, etc. I'm sure your neighbors love having things rattle off their shelves thanks to your home theater system.
You're not going to do anything about it (rap music, loud stereos) so just deal with it. I'm sure you all have habits that annoy somebody. Nothing is going to come out of this thread, so arguing about this is pointless. hopefully a moderator will acknowledge this & close it down.
You all need to accept the fact that there are different forms of music for everyone
...is continued use of the oxymoron of the century...that being the term: rap music...
Secondly, the "parents" were right, as were theirs and theirs before them...ad infinitum, ad nauseum...each successive devolution of music which reflects the contemporary "tastes" and mores of the audience, is a simply a continued "lowering of the bar"...simply a fact.
Third, as an avid outdoorsman, whose Jeep sports a Confederate battle-flag, travels @55mph
because it's the law and whose car stereo plays country from Hank Williams and Patsy Cline to Allison Krauss, classical from Bach to Wagner, jazz from Charlie Christian to Charlie Parker, rock from Blue Suede Shoes to Deep Purple to Pink Floyd and nearly every other genre from Natve American flute music to zydeco...I'm much too large to fit in a pigeon-hole...however, I don't force-feed anyone my taste(s) in music...My windows are closed when I drive, music (when playing) is at a reasonable level so as to hear horns/emergency sirens and well before I pull into my driveway and open my doors, the music is off so as not to intrude...and as I recall,
that was the thrust of the thread at it's outset...
And no, the thread shouldn't be closed, moved to the Steam Vent maybe...definitely not closed...
Anyone catch Nancy Giles commentary on CBSs
