Usually those opinions are very strong. Very, very strong.
I find it amazing how openly people can just say they hate entire genres. I -dislike- genres. I have tried. I really have. But jazz, film scores, very little early rock and roll, and Disney music, and some very select techno is about all I'll listen to. That music is made for me.
I also find it amazing how people try to stuff the music they like down other people's throats. As if they just know it's better than anything out there and it's a travesty that no one else listens to it.
Wrong.
That's why I try to stay out of music conversations. I am fully aware my taste is...extremely unique for someone my age.
But I don't mind. I keep my music to myself. If someone wants to see my ipod I let them see it. And I love seeing their confused/strange faces as they -gasp- recognize MAYBE three artists on there.
I love faster music. It's a very rare occasion when I enjoy a song that's slow. It's usually fast paced or nothing. Probably one reason why I like jazz so much. The early swing/big band stuff is fast paced and amazing.
My favorite song, if I had to pick, would be "Sing, Sing, Sing" by Benny Goodman.
Conclusion: Music is weird. We all have different tastes. But we all need a little practice in knowing what music to share and how to go about it.
