Ignorant ramblings on music (part 1)

Dude, I got this song you gotta listen to... no, this is too generic.
Bro listen to this song, its the shit... nah, why did shit become a good thing.
Have you heard X, really, its a great song that you should listen to... You know, this seems good.
Let me serenade your ears, with this melody of pure awesomeness....

There is a steady rumble of 65 mph beneath you as you go down the high way. Two other guys that are in the cars as well, a good friend is in the drivers seat, but the Liam who is 5'11, has black curly hair that bobbles an inch above his head and he smells of both axe and old spice some how. Everything else about him is a mystery. Conversation has died down four minutes ago, until "Let me serenade your ears, with this melody of pure awesome." With in a second a few buttons are pressed, and the dial adjusted. SHIT, its country.
Or shit its rap, its bubblegum pop, its flying squirrel funk , its heavy metal, its edm.

The genera of the song is not important, rather the instant judgment that occurs. These judgement are made from of personal tastes, and what is considered poor taste is generally avoided. Of course some styles of music are in general thought to be less sophisticated than others. This is my personal reason that I appreciate EDM, electronic dance music, and similar styles. Yes, many un-natural computer generated sounds, synthetic vocals, one-liners, and maybe a cacophony or two. This is the style of music I am drawn to, while it is not the only genera, it is the one I personally know best. I feel that there are many misconceptions with EDM. If this sounds unfamiliar, dub step should not. There is a joke between me and a friend that dub step is three blenders being turned on at different times, and a boy slamming the refrigerator door and screaming. This is the point were we start scratching our heads and asking why would anyone listen to this?

Give me a second while I go rethink my life's choices.
