first epiphany of the year.

after years and years of being an avid listener of rock/alternative nothing really compares to it,
i admit,
i use to be one of those people who think hip hop, pop, and country and all that other stuff is trash.
what i listened to was the ultimate best of the best,
but over the course of two years i've opened my eyes.
i've explored different genres, experienced different emotions to fit each track, and over-all broaden my mind.

i mean,
when someone listens to country they might have the same feeling i have when i listen to rock.
we both love what we listen to, it helps us through the day and all the countless reasons why we love our type of music,
so who am i to judge?

now, whenever i hear people saying "oh your band sucks!"
i just think,
wow, you're an ignorant person.
i feel bad for you.

don't get me wrong,
i still don't think mainstream rap/hip-hop is any good i probably won't ever think it's any good,
all the prerogative and demeaning things being said towards women.
all the greed,
and ugliness is just not something i want to fill my ears with.

i just don't think everything other than what i listen to is trash anymore.
there are probably a lot of good country and underground hip-hop i've never heard of because i've been so closed minded,
but i'm willing to change that.
i'm willing to give it a shot before shooting it down.
