i don't appreciate how some people are saying kids today like we're
all the same and have no individual personalities or tastes. I happen
to prefer classical music. i can't stand loud music like metal and
rap can get really annoying. I'm only 15, so your generalization is
rather rude(i think that's the word i want) to me. my parents don't
exactly love classical, but they do try to keep it around me. my
brother mostly listens to metal, but go through his collection and
you'll find about 4 vivaldi cd's. just an added point, very calmly
stated, most people i know can't stand country, to twangy.
