The music I like is stuff that sounds good to my ears and I'm sure most people feel the same way. I know that many people only listen to certain kinds of music because it's popular and then there are the people who only listen to certain artists because they're not popular, but I'm pretty sure that in the long run most people don't force themselves to listen to something they don't like just because they see it on MTV (if I'm wrong, this just means that most people are more shallow than I thought). Lately, it seems that there are many bands/artists out there that stir up lots of controversy between the fans and the haters. Let's take Hilary Duff for example. If somebody announces that they like Hilary Duff, there are some people who will automatically tell that person that they're an idiot, a loser, have no taste, and that she sucks. I myself am not a fan of her music (though I respect her career since I know that I couldn't do something like that) but I don't think it's right to judge people who are. If a certain type of music sounds nice to somebody then that's just one little part of who they are, not their whole personality. If you're a fan of rock and you meet somebody who likes pop, who cares? It doesn't mean they're less of a person just because they think that certain sounds are pleasing. It goes for all types too, like if somebody who was an avid hip-hop fan were bashing someone who loved heavy metal, it would still be pretty shallow to dislike the person just because of what they choose to listen to.
