Honestly, I'm from Louisiana, but I'm not THAT from Louisiana.

Every single person has their own genre that they defend, and their own group of people they associate with. They also seem to pick sides against genres they hate.
There is always hate with music lovers. People always denigrate and insult people who enjoy genres they deem unworthy.
But for some reason, even though everybody has their sides picked in this battle against each other, there is one group that they can all team up on and disparate together. Even as bitter enemies, the rappers and the jazzheads can all team up on me.
I am in the extreme minority of society.
I don't like any types of music. Every genre I've ever heard, I've disliked. It's the beats, the rhythms, the lyrics, all of it. It's grating, obnoxious, and intrusive. It violates and offends my ears. I can never hear myself think, or concentrate on work.
The only difference between me and you is that I hate more genres than you. Yet people seem to think they would rather I enjoy a genre that they think is laughable, as long as I am listening to some kind, any kind, of music.

All of society that I live in has music blaring. I'm a pariah, but there's nothing I can do about it because the majority in power wields that power with wanton disregard for anybody that might disagree with them.
As is any marginalized group of people, the majority never seem to think of them. They don't care as long as their own needs are satisfied.
I currently live a very secluded life away from people as much as possible (I do still have to leave to go to work) but even my home is violated by music! Ice cream trucks blaring discord into my very home!

I just wanted to share, so you people may in the future not act so childishly. Perhaps people on the streets don't want to listen to your favorite song, use some earphones.
Especially you people at work that wants to listen to some music right next to all your coworkers. They may not want to hear it, and you may be harming them by doing so. It's no different than going to work smelling of BO. Just try to be understanding of people around you.

Everyone has their preferences in music, nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong with someone extolling the virtues of a particular genre.

However for someone to dismiss a whole genre of music isn't really that sensible and tends to strongly suggest ignorance rather than any effort to understand it.

And music at work is just wrong unless it is agreed by all whom it is imposed upon (which would very rarely be the case I expect). There is definitely a strong case for banning music at work.

But I worked in a supermarket and hated 95% of the songs played, but when Rush's Tom Sawyer came on once in a while it was pleasant... In some places, to work without music... in silence... would be un-nerving. Especially markets... who wants to shop in silence?

Offices should probably be headphones only...

I leave for two days and this is what happens. I miss everything good.

I don't see the difference. And if you hated 95% of the songs played how could you have liked it? Imagine having to listen to the same music over and over again too. Music is something that is a choice, not an imposition.

I greatly appreciate listening to music while I work .. particularly if I'm working somewhere quiet and am bothered by tinnitus.

I also disagree with the notion that all who like music are music haters. There's stuff I don't like, but hate is too strong a word for me. I try not to define my taste in music by what I hate, but rather what I like, and I think that goes for many if not most. As Starrynight mentions, writing off entire genres smells of ignorance to me and I think of it as something mainly kids who like to think they know music does.

I think the most irritated I've been in a discussion was with a self-proclaimed music lover who, during the discussion, dismissed all of prog and all of jazz music, all of romantic classical music and the only thing he seemed to like was baroque. That's not a music lover to me. At best, he was a baroque lover.
