Can't a 16 year old like me just listen to her music peacefully?


Like don't you just hate it when people are like 'why are you listening to that' when they hear you listening to a certain music they didn't think you listen to?

Well, one thing is, people know me for listening to bands like My Chemical Romance, The Used, Bullet for my Valentine, Tokio Hotel, A Day to remember, Silverstein, Avenged Sevenfold, Escape the Fate, Ludo, Cky, Three Days Grace, Pierce the Veil, and other similar bands.

But these are not the only bands I listen to, I love love love to listen to older rock. I listen to the Beatles, Queen, Iron Maiden, Chicago, Michael Learns to Rock, The Smiths, Blackflag,Air Supply, Nirvana, White Lion, Styx, Bread, Eagles, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Guns n Roses, Bon Jovi, Aerosmith, and other similar bands.

I mean it just annoys me when some of them raise their eyebrows when they here me listening to old songs. Like they think that people should only listen to what's 'hot' right now. I just really hate people like that.

So my question is, do you experience this? And don't you just hate close minded people?

I listen to practically the same music as you (I'm 14), and when people somehow just pick up my ipod and look through the songs, they usually go, "What the heck is wrong with you? You don't have any good songs!" Then I have to point out that it's MY ipod and not theirs. Those close-minded people always download the popular song, listen to it, always get tired of it, and move on to the other. Usually they never listen to that song ever again. How are you supposed to enjoy what your hearing if you keep on dumping it out? And people always have different tastes, sometimes similar and sometimes completly opposite.
My playlist has like the smallest amountn of rap on it... Perhaps one or two songs out of the rock-ish ones which I've got. Who says that a person who only likes rap is going to like my music? There's so many types out there, and you've got to accept them all. If you don't like one kind, you don't spit words on them, you gotta accept it.
So yeah, I experience this and I agree 100% with you. But we've also got to accept that some people just can't accept that.

I agree..now days there into all the techno **** i dont mind it.
But all the music with real lyrics came from the classic bands!!

i love all the bands you mentioned they have the most expression into there lyrics. Its sad that only a small amount of people still appreciate them. Though i'd rather be a self-individual who listens to music not created by trends and sterotypes.

Because these bands represent the true meaning of expression and music!! aha these kids need to be educated!!

All the bands in the second paragraph suck. Some of the bands in the third are good(Nirvana, the Beatles, Queen, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Guns n Roses, Bon Jovi, and Aerosmith)
