not saying that it is just tempo and beats are the same that makes two types of genres the same, i am saying that you can find whatever style of music that fits a type of emotion in anykind of music,
generally speaking the two biggest disliked genres of music are rap and country (imo), and that is because people hear the very surface radio songs and singers that are played and are not very representative of the whole genre, its like being racist, most people that i have spoken with that are racist have only been exposed to a small fraction or a group that they do not like and make misconceptions about the whole because of it, just as in music, if you are not opened minded about a type of music then you will not like it before you can even decide if there are good things about it

this kinda shows what i am saying, rap is not about the bling, bitches and bass, there are many singers and songs that make good rap songs that don't fall into these stereotypes of rap, not all rap songs have violent lyrics, and not all hard rock is obscenely noisy

My Reasons:
1) I don't like the nasal singing style
2) Toby Keith is a nutbag
3) Don't like the style of guitar playing or the sound of a fiddle.
4) Alot of country has less musical value than a DMX song.
5) I just happen to like almost every other kind of music (I will listen to rap/jazz/blues/classical depending on my mood or where I am), and figure I don't need to give country another chance.
This doesn't mean I'm racist, it just means I have different taste in music. Good taste for that matter, because it's been scientifically proven that country is the bastard child of good music. I also think that suggesting not liking certain genres of music is based upon racism is possibly the stupidest thing I've heard all day.

actually man, this is exactly what i am talking about, you have just classified country with toby keith (which i think is 75% douschbag), and the nasally sung country of old, grouped it with the twanging guitar and fiddle sound, if country was a person i think i could officially call that a racist comment, because you have took the (obviously in your opinion) the worst attributes of country music and labeled everything else that way, and i have no idea where you are pulling the comment that "country is the bastard child of good music", country is where rap originated from and rock and roll, actually i think most pop american music today originated from some form of country and gospel of the first half of the 20th century
