Growing up, I was exposed to many different types of music, ranging from country to 80's rock to Christian music. I listened to each of those genres and liked them all. This explains why my music interest is so diverse today. I am into pop, techno, country, alternative, blues, rock, and Christian music. To put it simply, I like to listen to whatever I am feeling like at the moment. Although I do not like opera, classical, of jazz too much, they are tolerable because overall, I would say that I am not opposed to any type of music, or at least any type known in the U.S. However, I am opposed to certain lyrics. There are songs that I like because of the sound, but the words that are sung ruin it for me. I am a firm believer in Jesus Christ and I realize that there are many songs that are not glorifying to His name. Because of this, I know I would enjoy more popular songs of today if only the words were different. This is why I sometimes listen to Apologetix, a Christian parody band.
This is an example of one of their songs. It is called "The Real Sin Savior" instead of Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady". I know that many will see this as a lame alternative, but in my opinion, this is better than not listening to that song at all. It has lyrics that I completely agree with and to me, that's a win-win.
