I don't like rap, but I like Rock, Death Metal, Nu-Metal, Heavy Metal, Thrash Metal, 60' 70's, 80's Pop, Jazz, Classical, Blues, Film Music, Japanese Music, and Disney Music.

I love music with melody. I tried making my own melody and I realized that it is very hard. I wanted to make my own melodies, but my own is very cheesy, almost like nursery rhymes.

The more I was down and out, was the time I realized and appreciated melody even more.

If you notice I listen to metal and it is not even melodic. It is something I listened to when I was a teenager. I was just originally listening to metal and watched Disney movies when I was a kid. Then there was a time where I was in a particular church where the pastor asked me throw away all my metal cd's in the garbage because metal is demonic, satanic, blah blah blah. During that time, I felt like being slave to the church. But that event allowed me to listen to other genres and that's why I listen to a lot of genres.

We moved to a new church after that and the new pastor is a music pastor. He plays keyboard, bass, and drums. The whole band in the church, plays by ear. I never talked about spiritual stuff to my pastor, I just talk music to him and I started listening to metal again.

I won't be in this hole forever. I just discovered a melody book in the internet and there are composition and improvisation courses in my school so hopefully I can make my own melodies.

Wait, what?

The riffs and solos are obviously melodic, but the screaming is not. That's what I meant. I was originally rock oriented and then I started listening to a lot of genres.

I'm not an expert, but screaming can be melodic can't it? Unless you're just talking about insanely extreme metal bands, but even they have some melody in their voices.

What I was trying to say is that I am more rock oriented. Rock was the only genre I listened to. Then there was a time I was in a church where listening to rock music is forbidden and my mom told the pastor that I have a bunch of metal cds.

Aside from a few Christian bands, I don't really like Christian music and I listened to other genres and I found some pleasant discoveries along listening to other genres.

We moved again to a new church and the pastor was a music pastor. He sings and plays keyboard during a sermon. His church was not strict and he talks about "grace" all the time, that I just shrugged, stopped caring and started listening to rock again.
