That's the only genre I ever see you use to try to claim open mindedness. I mean is that it? Experimental ****, (experimental) hip hop, some stuff from your childhood, and a few scattered artists here and there?

I used to hate jazz. I always thought folk was a bunch of lame crap not worth checking out. I used to think all country sucked. I used to not be able to listen to a song with screaming. I thought punk was plain stupid. I thought that classical music was just cliched, boring string music. Want some more? I could list pretty much everything I listen to today that isn't metal or rock.

Again, it's probably my bluntness throwing you off. I don't usually go "well shucks it sure is a nice album for an indie rock band but it's not for me." I usually just call it ****.

How much of that did you decide you liked after high school? It kind of doesn't count when you're a child/teenager without even a basic sense of their own taste. I'm inclined to think that was in the past, cause those are some really cheesy views for an adult to hold.

Folk, country, and classical.

Classical doesn't count cause you're already pretentious, and folk and country are too similar for that to truly count as being open minded, so I'll give you 1.5 genres discovered in a 4-5(?) year period. Top notch.

Thanks. I was just ****ing with you anyways, I only like free jazz. I didn't realize that before and was trying to trick myself into liking other non-God genres. Thank you for helping me realize this.
