On occasion your view on something is a yes and a no. This is where the debate begins.

My dad was pretty impressed when he arrived at my house a couple of weekends ago for fathers day. I cleaned up my house so it looked like a hotel. He loved it as he hadn't seen me like this since I was doing chores around his house in my teens. What he didn't like is the music coming from the speakers when he walked in. I had forgot how unattractive metal-core music sounds with the volume even slightly past normal volume. With this whole scene in mind, he walked in and greeted, heard the music, and immediately told me I need to stop cutting myself!
This last part made me chuckle since he said it with a tone that meant he was poking fun at me. He doesn't care about my taste in music as long as I live and no matter how horrible it will sound to him. He never says anything when I blast it in his ears but I can tell he doesn't enjoy it as much as some of us do.
But this makes me come to my point. Why is it so stereotypical for someone to be called goth, emo, or dark just because they listen to music thats not so mainstream (I'm not asking for anyone to reply)? No one has ever bullied me for my taste in the subject, but then again, not many know because I don't advertise that kind of music in public. Only with my friends who enjoy the same stuff and when I'm alone. Only 8 of my extremely numerous and diverse friends listen to it with the same loving/obsessive feeling I do. It doesn't make me mad though, which is good I suppose since other topics that kids around me disagree with turns me into.... let's just say I get mad. I can't think a way to describe it at this moment.
I don't mean to post about something almost no one likes.
