The kind of music that I’m into is country, hip-hop, and pop music. I like those because I grew up with those. I also like to listen to techno because it cheers me up when I’m down. I have been listening to country ever since I was little. For Christmas my family has always given me county music for me to listen to. When I’m sad or depressed I listen to county music because it reminds me of my family. Me and my family love country music, and while I’m in this program I listen to it because it tells me that I need to go back home to my family.

What makes bad music suck is the language. In a lot of rap songs rappers say swear words after every other word. Like in country the artist might say a little swear word like the A word or Hell. They don’t say the F bomb or any of the other swear words. That’s why I like country because they don’t say that much swear words. When rappers swear 50 times in their songs I don’t think that’s cool, and I don’t see how people like listening to it.

I don’t think that genre matters because if you write a song then that’s great. Not many people can write songs, and if you like country or hip hop then that’s the kind of music you like. All songs should get respect. The only songs that I don’t think should get respect is the songs that say a swear word after every other word. Because then all that person is doing is cussing and it’s not much of a song. But I think that every song at least should get respect. If not the song then the writer for all of the hard work that they did to make the song.
