I think it'd be more appropriate to say, --"Young Caucasian males in the Midwest listen to country OR metal."

Wow... sad to say that that is pretty much exactly how my friend from Lebanon (who has moved away now) was like

He loved electronica, some rap/hip hip, and was in love with Dream Theater and Nightwish. His only redeeming features were The Sex Pistols and one or two other songs by other artists. Oh, and he hated R.E.M

Oh yes, hip hop, you are quite right. I should have said country or metal. But now I wonder, is my stereotype true? Or, is Abdullah closer to reality when Abdullah says most young white males (in the city) listen to hip hop and rock?

I hope you don't think this is one of Maze's redeeming features.

No I meant to continue his list of faults

I personally stereotype at least 90 percent of all races, genders, and sexual orientations, and even style of clothing worn, as liking music I hate.

It has been a very accurate standard that hasn't let me down so far, sans the delightful moments in which you meet one of the 10 percent.

Yea, it's lonely... but at least I don't give a fuck.

I'm black, but growing up everybody black, chinese, arab, white, etc etc etc was in to hip-hop.

In canada there isnt this african american experience which goes alongside hip-hop, so I often laugh when cats throw on a crazy NYC accent or what have you.



but I think gender is an interesting one. I havent read the entire thread so maybe somebody said this. but overtime I've realized that women are generally expected to have a ****tier taste in music.

do I believe this? it's a stupid generalization. however, at a time, there were a small handful of women I knew who could list of Wu tang members names, or albumns...or who could tell you what the 8th song on Enta Da Stage is. Or could recite every word to Quiet Storm when it was THE tune. Many of them could tell you when Nelly was going shopping or what colour hat Diddy wore to the MMVAs.

It's similar to when BET allegedly came up with a list of artists they would no longer play on their station. The reason being that many of them weren't marketable to their target group of whatever age teenage girls (you'd assume boys as well).


as far as Im concerned NOW, women, men, sheep, goats, cows, ants, vultures, and everything else under the sun as a whole have let their ****ty taste in music take over the mainstream. thats another story though

I do expect a girl to have a bad taste, tho I'm a girl myself. It's just that in my country girls tend to respect their stereotypes. You just have to drive on the freeway for less than 5 minutes to notice how women are shitty drivers.

I still have this prejudice against girls but in a weird way I have the same against males (maybe with a slight change, but still bad taste for both). And I usually am right, and still not talking about forums.

from seeing the music that girls at my school listen to, i have to agree.

I don't know about that one. I've met some girls who have great taste in music.

I think it was a girl that played Radiohead for me the first time actually when they hit the scene.
