What is music? It its the way people express themselves through the
use of voice and/or musical instruments. I think it is important for
musicians to expose themselves to a varitey of musical backgrounds, so we
can have a well-rounded understanding of music and stlye. Also no one has
the right to say which type of music is wrong, if you don't like it-don't
listen to it, or at least try to find some good quality in it to tolerate it.

I say
Wasnt their a philosopher way in the past somewhere that said music judges
people, people dont judge music?
