Is it normal to think this?
Okay, I'm going to sound like a close minded douche. But is it normal to be annoyed by certain types of music and styles? In particular, mainstream screaming/death metal or whatever. I know it is music but I just get so annoyed 'cause like the people I know who listen to that type of music, most listen to and dress in that style like in a wanting to fit in way. Like oh, I'm cool because of this, or they WANT to be considered weird by others. Like an attention thing? Or having the huge headphones that everyone on a bus can hear the screaming, and not even the listener can make out the lyrics. I don't know. Maybe it's just a pet peeve or whatever they call it. Other things too. Other things too, I love rap but I get sooo annoyed when I hear all this "Swagg" And "In the club" "Shoes and money" crap actually being considered rap. All that commercial, monotonous, negative stuff makes like a whole stereo type of the genre. I go onto iTunes and look under Hip Hop/Rap and it's all the same artists you hear on the radio. Most of it sounds pop-ish and too plasticy, I really think iTunes should label it under a whole new genre. Those are NOT rappers. They are business men. I understand it's technically music, this new-rap, but c'mon. Do you really think they all want to sound the same? No, most do it for the money. Real rap should be more than just business. Heck, all music should be more than just entertainment. But what I see in certain sections/artists is nothing but an money making entertainment business. Also, my favorite band released an album in 2011. The instrumentation and lyrics were great, 5 stars in my book, but the only thing I disliked was that it seemed too polished and a bit plastic-like. I've noticed this with other recent releases as well. I don't know. What is this about?

Maybe give some free advice about: Music?
You are perfectly normal... it just means you know what you like and what you don't. I personally do not like the heavy metal/ rock kind of music... it gets on my nerves and I don't understand why people listen to it. However it is just personal preference and everyone likes something different.

It means you have a mind of your own. There's nothing wrong with hating certain types of music. I'm 16 and I like gospel music. Don't be afraid to go against the crowd because it's the individuals that will lead the crowd.
Hope this helped.

Well, in short, music is a business. Mainstream music that is. When an artist signs with a label, the label makes them make money. That is what they are there for. In return for you making them money, they promote you.
It's a shame that often, music is like that. But it's just the way it is. If a certain type of music does not sell, the artist has to change: because they need to make a living.
If you wish to make music because you enjoy it, and want it to be pure, then you have to do it as a hobby, not a career.
That is really all I have to add to this :)
