Just because you listen to a certain genre in music, does that define the person you are?

I hear a lot of the time “What kind of music do you like?”  And because I’m a music major, does this mean I’m automatically expected to answer “Mozart.  Only Mozart.”  Likely.

However, if I answer Streisand, does that make me not modern?

If I answer Katy Perry to an average teen, does that make me “cool” ?
If I said that to a friend of mine, would they think me mad?

If I answer Metallica, does that mean I’m ‘gothic’, or a ‘metal-head’?

Whatever you like to listen to– listen to it because you want to.  Don’t allow it to define you, and don’t allow others to define you by it.  Music is meant for enjoyment, expression, and understanding.  Love it for what it is and how you feel when you listen.

Musically yours,

Chelsea
