Music:
I really like almost every genre of music. There are a few genres, however, that I will never like: heavy metal, emo, and country. Metal is just noise to me, and emo is whiney, talentless, garbage. Country is also too whiney and twangy for me (except Johnny Cash). My favorite music is the classic rock of the 60s and 70s. Here are a few bands:
