Music that Im not particular about!

Before Taylor Swift I may have said that I like all music except country and heavy metal. Well nowadays it seems like all genres are crossing and collaborating making it impossible not to listen to certain genres that were once easily avoidable. Well last year my favorite music artist Kanye West, interrupted a new contemporary artist, Taylor Swift on stage while accepting her award. Well opened my eyes and I decided to research this Swift lady that caused all of this bad media for Mr.West! Before I knew it I was listening to the country sweetheart left and right. I even realized a song that I previously had stuck in my head was her singing it and the whole time I thought it was Carrie Underwood. The world of country music isnt much different from the genres I love most (r&b an hip-hop). The main thing that musicians talk about in hiphop and r&b music is love and the life they lived before making it the the music industry aka the "struggle". In country music they talk about the same thing; artists in r&b and hiphop discuss the "hood" and selling drugs and country artists take about the trailer park, their pets and drug addictions. The similarities are endless but the main points stand out well. Since finding a new love for country I ve listened to artist such as Carrie Underwood and Rascal Flatts. I continue to listen to country and now have a more open mind to different genres; except metal!
