Music

       This is a subject that has been on my mind a lot lately, because of peoples arrogance and closed mindedness toward different types of music.  I can say this because as much as I don't want to admit this, I used to be one of them.  I used to just think the music I was listening to was the best just because I liked it, then from hanging out with different groups of friends I was able to hear just about every kind of music.  So before you go and say " You're music sucks and is stupid" try to have a somewhat educated conversation with the person you're telling that to, and see why they like that particular music.
       
              Lets take country music for example.  Country isn't for some people obviously... but you can hate if you want but they reasons why I love country music is because I feel like I can relate to a lot of the songs that I listen to, and that its what a lot of people go through on a daily basis not songs about hitting the clubs with your gang, hooking up with everyone there, selling or consuming drugs and alcohol, making it rain on the shawtys. I know country music can seem very dumb and uneducated at times like the song "Red Solo Cup" but I really do think that country music offers good messages and is overall happy.
       
              HardCore/ Metal/ Screamo Music is often just looked at as "Devil Music" and by often I mean everyone who doesn't listen to it, I understand not liking the screaming in it but let me tell you why I listen to such bands as The Ghost Inside, Attack Attack, Pierce The Veil and We Came As Romans to name a few. I listen to this music because I enjoy the Guitar and drum Shredding, it pumps me up like no other, the "Stick it to the man" attitude, how basically anyone can start a band and better their life because of it,  and the thing I like most about it is the Lyrics behind the screaming and shredding of the instruments. The Lyrics are kind of hard to understand sometimes, but if you look them up you will read very good, clean, inspirational Lyrics.  Lets take The Ghost Inside for example. TGI's new cd is called "Get What You Give" This CD and The song "Engine 45" are wrote for the  people and friends and family of drug addicts.

"This addiction came like a freight train. 
You're coming off of the rails again. 
It's hard for you to see the light at the end of the tunnel. 
If it's a war you came to see you will never see a waved white flag in front me. 
I can't end up dead, I wont be misled. 
I'll keep singing this song inside my headOn a one way course set for destruction, full speed ahead.                                                
The time has come for you to start things over. 
So hold on, full speed ahead. 
All my life I've been waiting for something, 
That never came. It never came. 
But I'm still saying... 
All my life I've been searching for something, 
To break these chains. To break these chains. 
But I'll keep swinging... "
       So before you go say someone else's music sucks, find out why they like it and don't be a closed minded idiot. :)
