somebody told me the other day that people like Amy Winehouse aren't real musicians - they're merely well-marketed hypes that have absolutely no talent in their blood.
but when it comes to music, does it really matter?
some people listen only to the most popular songs of the moment and criticise those who listen to oldies as out of their own generation, or out of the world.
others listen only to classics because they adore the exquisity and timelessness of the chords and rhythm. they tend to look down on the current trends, calling them fads or wannabes.
yet other people choose to drown their emotions in loud, angsty music. they don't like the mainstream music - because they consider themselves alternatives, read: unique.
many people are highly selective in their music preferences, conforming to pre-defined conceptions of themselves, the outward appearance of the artistes, the boxed-in classifications of music genres and other factors. most of the time, they don't listen to any music out of their usual range.
but is it all really necessary?
because when one comes down to it, we're just all out to enjoy ourselves to a good beat, beautiful lyrics and pleasing music... why not broaden your horizon and experiment the different styles?
that said, it's not necessary to have to spend the effort to move out of your comfort zone (if you're not already capable of that), since it's something as non-serious as music, after all.
haha random =P
