hate crime

as a society we are use to the term hate crime, but to clarify a hate crime is crime motivated by prejudice. typically a hate crime is directed at a group of people or an organization. however the hate crime i'm focusing on today is one that is directed at genre's.

i don't understand how people can hate an entire genre of music. i'm so sick and tired of hearing people say, "i hate country music," "i hate rap music," or "i hate pop culture mainstream music."

i believe that all music is created equally and should be treated with respect because it is after all music. all music has it's time and place. not all music is appropriate all the time, but you can't discredit an entire genre of music because you dislike a song or two. if you are one of those individuals that claims to hate a genre of music i would challenge you to stop being such a small minded nit and open up to the idea of challenging your social stereotypes and musically narrow ear. with a greater grasp and appreciation of all music genre maybe you will become more enlightened and not such a nit.
