In this world, there is music and there is music. Most poor, uneducated souls listen to the first type. They will spend their entire lives, listening to what they think to be rap, but is really some white guy whining about how he can't get laid (Justin Timberlake). In hopes that romance exists, they drown their sorrows in pop (Jonas Brothers). Just stop. That is not real music. Seriously? In order to have an understanding of good music, one has to a) listen to oldies. I know that is painful. The 60's weren't that long ago. Cry me a river, build me a bridge, and get over it. b) listen to many types of music. Even if your thing is jazz-blues, try some punk. If emo is a passion, try opera. Don't just limit to genres. Try music from different countries as well. And c) listen with an open mind. Death Cab For Cutie may suck now, but a couple years ago, their stuff was pretty good. Don't be a music snob. Try a little of everything, even if you think you won't like it. Who knows? You actually might.
