Reluctant Adventures In Music I Don't Like...

Decided to make a new journal. Feeling inspired and rest assured, there will be regular posts in both of my journals from here on out...

Forum member Exo_ has inspired me, after more or less putting me in a timeout corner, to venture out, to seek out music I know I have never been fond of as a way to possibly open my heart up to it. Ever since I took notice to music, I have had a specific taste in what music I like/lover, whatever way you could spin it. There have been very few pop artists, country artists, rap artists, so on and so forth, that I have found anything I could connect with musically, to any of those genres I mentioned. Michael Jackson is an exception, the guy made great music.

This thread will serve its purpose in documenting my adventures. I will post up little comments on artists I have checked out, outside of the genres I listen to every day. I hope that this will make me less bitter toward a lot of the artists I despise now, such as Taylor Swift or Niki Minaj...however her name is spelled. I think that my music knowledge could very well be a bit stunted with how closed minded I am to other genres of music I have openly expressed are garbage these days. I want to change my opinion on those genres.

I'll be checking out:

Pop
Country
Rap
R&B (don't actually hate it, just find myself bored of it...)
Emo
Punk (so, this genre in no way sucks, I just never found myself connecting with it...)
Folk
EDM
World Music

And some others. I will take suggestions happily. I am eager to start this adventure! Here we go!
