Me and Music

Music is an important part of our culture, but, each generation it changes. That includes mine and sometimes our parents are even shocked by what they hear. My music of choice doesn't happen to be all that shocking though. Can you guess what I listen to?

That's right, I listen to country music. It hasn't changed all that much, other than being a little more optimistic than it used to be and it has less of a twang sound to it. I like that it is very American and I also like the lyrics that come along with country music.

There are many different styles of music available today aside from country music. There is rap, techno, alternative rock and pop. Each has its own crowd of listeners. Rap is typically inner city music, derogatory toward women and violent. Techno, it is just weird and has weird people that listen to it. Pop music is kind of middle of the road and many artists cross into this area with their music. Country is all American and many people listen to it from coast to coast.

I don't believe that country music is very controversial from one generation to the next. My parents and even grandparents enjoy listening to my music. I like that I can listen to it and not worry that is offending anyone. It is a traditional form of music and I like it.

Music is something that has changed throughout time and usually, kids choose music to express themselves in a way that shocks their parents. There are many types to choose from and each is different from the next. But, the form I choose isn't very controversial and my entire family likes it.
