About Music Tastes

I have very various music tastes. I consider myself to be a metalhead - and I actually mostly listen to metal - but there are a few bands that I really like that are not remotely metal. And most of the time, I even avoid telling people that I like these bands because I don't want to be laughed at.

But for you, I'm going to reveal who these bands are ... Well the ones that would make people laugh at me, no matter the kind of music they listen to are : Tokio Hotel and One Direction. Then, they're the bands that would only seem a mistake to the "real" metalheads : Killerpilze, Good Charlotte, Green and Sum 41. These 4 last bands are not metal but they're not shameful either, from a metalhead's point of view.

You might be wondering why I'm talking about the bands that some people think are shameful to listen to. Well, for this exact reason : because people think listening to some kind of bands can be shameful. When people mock my music taste, I think "why on earth would you be interested in what I listen to ?" or "what does it change for you?". I mean, you don't like mainstream music ? You don't like that type of music ? Then, don't listen to it! And don't feel you have the right to judge someone's taste, especially when you complain that people are too judgemental about the type of music you like. 

I've noticed that poeple who listen to types of music that are badly judged or stereotyped (like metal) are the ones who would be the most judgemental about other music genres -and even different genres, in metal for instance. I know, fuck logic, right? 

That being said, I'm going to go on listening to the music I like, no matter what, because otherwise I would think I'm cheating on what I am, just to please others.
