I used to be a snob and say that I hated country music or whatever, but now I try and appreciate all the music I hear. There are definitely songs I don't like, and there are genres that tend to have a lower "hit" rate for me (country being one of them), but every genre has bands and songs that are worth listening to. If someone recorded it, they probably put some soul into it... why not give it a listen?

I can't recall who said this, but one suggestion that has worked for me is to listen to a certain genre exclusively for 30 days. Country, Hip-Hop, House, various kinds of Classical. At the end of 30 days I always have songs that I really like, and kinda get the genre even if it's not going to replace my love for 80s trash rock.

I view music as I do eating - sometimes it's fun to sit and savor something, other times I crave junk.

Nothing wrong with either. Sure there are definitely artists I respect more than others, but sometimes it's more fun to just put on some trashy [insert genre here, I wont get specific] and enjoy.

There are pieces on all genres that speak to me. If there’s a genre you don’t like that is telling you that there is a feeling in life that you have not yet keyed into.
