The most prominent art form in my life is music. Being raised in a Spanish home amidst a white neighborhood played a large role in my music taste. I would hear salsa and merengue playing every night while my mom cooked, but still learned about American classic rock and listened to anything spanning in between those two opposites. I can honestly say I give any type of music a chance. That is not to say that I like EVERYTHING within the different groups, but that I don't like to discriminate based on genre or artist. No one can say what type of music is better than another because different genres are created for different purposes. For example, some people like to say that pop music is, to put it nicely, bad. Sometimes the artist doesn't write their own music and there may be some voice alteration to make the singing sound better. But the purpose of the pop genre isn't to try and show of lyrical skills or vocal range, it's to entertain and to make a song so catchy that people can't get it out of their heads. Classic rock on the other hand, while having some of these ideas in mind, incorporates more personal artistic expression. Bands like the Rolling Stones created music that guitarists, including myself, still attempt to emulate 30-40 years later. I could go on about music for hours, but I just wanted to put out the idea that every song has something different to offer. Just looking at genre is like judging a book by it's cover. By doing this you may be robbing yourself of some really enjoyable music.
