No, this is not a thread about tolerance generally, but about music. Really.

I realized it a few days ago, when I was at work and recognized that we only listened to the music our two guys like. That's not a problem at all. At least, it wouldn't have been, if one of them hadn't said something really... stupid today. This is what he said: "Hardrock/Metal is shit." Oookay.
So that made me think.

How tolerant are you towards other genres? Do you accept them silently but still hate them or do you not hate it at all... or even tell everyone your opinion like the one I mentioned?


Personally, I'm very tolerant, I suppose. While working, I've listened to Folk, Country, Rap, Hip Hop (is there a difference? I don't know xD") and Techno. We've never listened to the kind of music I like yet, but I have no problem with that. I accept everything as it comes and sometimes I experience that the songs are quite nice. (Not many though)
The thing about it is... I don't tell them that I don't like it. I said that it isn't the kind of music I like. But that's it. I wouldn't ever dare to say that something is "shit" or even bad. O.o" As long as the musician who made that song wanted to express something, it's okay. And as I said, there are even some good songs...
One thing I definitely dislike is when people are too intolerant to accept other people's music. The guy I mentioned is the best example. xD" I don't even want to imagine what he'd say if I ever brought a Metal CD one morning. ^^" He'd probably hate me. XD I really don't get those people.. xD"
