Black Men Only Listen to Rap, R&B, Gospel & Reggae

I listen to rock (favorite type of music), electronica, trip-hop, jazz, punk rock, and the lists goes on and on. I listen to music that sounds good to my ears. My favorite bands are Nirvana, Led Zeppelin, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam and many others. I grew up listening to grunge and alternative rock and I didn't start listening to rap until I was 13 (1997). I hate gospel music (I am atheist). I do listen to R&B, reggae and rap/hip-hop.

Many blacks call me a "sellout" because I listen to "white music." I am listening to MGMT "Electric Feel" right now. I had a CD collection and some of the white women I hung out with were like, "Damn, you listen to Ryan Cabrera, Avril Lavigne, Alanis Morissette, Stone Temple Pilots, David Bowie and even the Beatles? Now I know how to call when I need to borrow music."

I am a very diverse person and I love to learn about other peoples cultures and backgrounds. Listening to Jeff Buckley (incredible singer) is like listening to R. Kelly to me. No big difference. I have so much music I uploaded on my computer (16,000) that would surprise so many people. Do any of you listen to music and you feel you are stereotyped because of your personal taste?

 

In europe and south america i never heard something like this before!

this guys need to open their minds double time!
Now i need to have to be a white folk to listen some rock music? hahaha

 

Only an idiot would say that these days. The world is globalized we all listen to everything now.

 

I mainly listen to Electro and Hip Hop.


Every now and then some Rock, used to listen to a lot of Punk, and occasionally some Classical or R&B.

 

shit...you guys are ruining another stereotype for me. first it was the black people don't swim thread and now you don't all just listen to rap, r&b, gospel & reggae...??? pfffft

 

Soon you'll find out we all don't have.....
Wait...

 

Quiet, andrae, you will break the hearts of all the fetishists on the board... Not naming names... lol

 

Well its one of those stereotypes I don't mind floating around especially if it gets me hot girls lol.

 

I dont listen to todays music much....but I have gotten into country a bit, soul music , old school hip hop, Im just diverse in it all. if it is hot then i will listen to it.

Im more into watching the news.
