Writer's Block: Bitter aftertaste
Do you judge people based on their taste in music? How has musical taste either enhanced or detracted from your relationships (including friends, roommates, and romantic partners)?
I try not to, but I will admit that it has happened. Usually, it does so when I find out that a person listens to specific kinds of rap or country--the former being the sort which glorifies a gangster "lifestyle," the latter pertaining to country songs that encourage bigotry, with or without religious themes. There are probably other styles of music that have these sorts of themes as well, but I find that it's very alarmingly common amongst these two. In most cases, when I find out a person does like something like this, I become uneasy around them or cut all ties, depending on the situation.
