People under the age of 20, please?

[Neil]

I am 17, when I was a baby I listened to Micheal Jackson.. My parents would play his music for me to eat. For some strange reason I liked it from the beginning of my life. Then, I was updated to something update at those times.. Like, Puff Daddy's I Will Be Missing You and The Police's Every Breath You Take. They had this catchy tune.. I loved the sound of a guitar and the bass at it.. But soon, I was blinded by the 90s boy bands.. I was listening to both NSYNC and Backstreet Boys.. I used to dance to their music, as if I was trying to impress a girl. Then I went to more alternative music from 90s..
I remember singing songs like Cold Play - Yellow.. And then I was hit.. Anything I listened on the radio was subjected to my mind.. Anything on the radio, I would be listening to that.

But my Parents wasn't done with me.. Every time they were on the road.. We had this 80s and 70s Greatest Hits albums.. Songs like "Open Arms" "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing" "My Girl" "Wonderful World" and the like.. Although, at that time in my childhood. I said "I hate old music." But I never knew the music I loved was old.. I kept listening and listening to my music.

When I was 10 I was that type of rowdy, emotional preteen attitude. My Parents said I was developing fast, and so was my music.. I listened to a bit of country, hip hop, rap, alternative, and rock at the time of 2000-2005.. Most notable artists I liked were, Eminem, Ludacris, John Mayer, and more.. I eventually got into the Good Charlotte, Blink 182, Matchbox 20, and Green Day fad.. I was a depressed child from the sudden over look at this music.

The angst stage continued.. BUT THEN! BAM! GUITAR HERO CAME OUT IN STORES..
Now, at this moment.. I was already listening to ALL the music I hear in GTA: Vice City
So I liked 80s Music.. But I wasn't sure. At the same time I was into Anime, and constantly listening to JPOP. Although I was listening to the radio still. I eventually got tired of listening to Shakira and turned off my radio FOR GOOD. I wasn't sure to get Guitar Hero.. Till GUITAR HERO 2 came out..

In the past I would complain why guitar solos are short.. But as soon as I played Guitar Hero 2..
I would find my place in a genre that I haven't heard the likes of before..
It was different, it was emotional.. And I boy.. did I love it.
But I still kept quiet.. My friends would always ask about today's music..
But I didn't care! I loved ROCK MUSIC. It was like something I wanted everyone to hear..
No one didn't care. They called me weird and old..

I loved tons of Rock bands. I could careless about Chris Brown, Ne-Yo or any artist at that time.
They couldn't deliver what I listened in my house every day.
My passion for rock moved to different types of Rock, slow rock, hard rock, progressive, folk rock..
Blues, Metal, Grunge, Screamo.
I listened to all the music my family disliked and my Dad hated.
My family and friends said it was NOISE.

It was ROCK.
But I was a 60-80s music lover.. I soon learned to love other artists during 60-80s in different genres
As music from 2008-2012 came in..
Music was so bad, I thought 2000-2005 was way better!
During 2008-2012 I learned more about The Beatles, AC/DC, and KISS more than I ever did in my childhood. Everyone thought I was boring for listening to that music. I was an outkast in my highschool. It would be like that for the entire 4 years in highschool.
Now I'm in college, music is just as bad..
But the only modern music I liked was
Adele- Skyfall
But even that song sounded like the past..
I like Gangnam Style.. But I was the type who understands lyrics..
While my friends followed a trend shouting "GANGNAM STYLE!" in public
(I'm still in Asia btw.)
They don't even know what its about. Yet, they make fools of themselves.
Even the Koreans in my area laugh at them.
I think music choice is really sad these days.
I honestly think that a lot of kids have tight preferences to music.
Hell, I even LOVE OPERA AND CLASSICAL MUSIC NOW.
My friends? They can't even feel emotions from a song.
They think its stupid and sounds weird.. But its all about the emotion and feeling.
My music is very broad.. But I don't listen to anything Mainstream.. Cause its just annoying and bland.. Every time I listen, I feel like I'm listening to the same stuff over and over but its different artists!
Kids laugh at my music choice. But they're not mature enough to feel it in heart.
Today's music makes brains dead.. Cause honestly? There is no meaning in it anymore.
