I've never understood the frustration with what strangers are listening to. As long as it's not being played on obnoxiously loud speakers, who cares? If the volume is that loud, I don't really care what the genre is, tbh.

If music never adapted and evolved, practically no music would exist today, and that even includes most (if not all) old classical music. Beethoven would be unknown. There's no way that rock music would exist.

Ah, it's also a timeless thing. Anything liked by newer generations is bad, because new=bad. There was even push back when rock music first came out. I also don't understand the "specfic genre-only" mindsets, either. If you like it, you like it. So what if it's out of your normal scope? There's music out there for every mood. If you don't like it, cool. There's a whole world of other things to listen to instead.

There are also various reasons that people listen to music. Soulless music is great for studying, because it's easier to not want to dance to. Noise music can help drown things out. Some music can help validate how you're feeling, and some songs are just earworms. Certain songs might bring nostalgia, or they might hype you up.

Life is short, enjoy what you can, especially if it's something that's just to yourself. Why limit yourself based on the opinion of someone who doesn't even have to hear what you listen to?
