I love locking myself in a practice room and "having deep emotions" just as=
much as I love "rockin' out" to something I can totally go crazy and dance=
to! Everyone identifies themself with a music genre (or a few) because it =
is something that brings people together. A common theme. Rappers=2C emos=
=2C rocker people (lol)=2C classicists=2C etc. =3D)
