Why do you say you're a music lover?

That's my point. It doesn't matter what genre you are listening or liking. It only depends on how you see music based on your daily living.

Yes,in my opinion,If you like music,even though any genre,just enyoy it is ok.You can be a music lover.

Well just because she sings Jazz does that automatically mean she only likes Jazz? And I also can't tolerate heavy metal, but if I got presented by its lyrics, I could appreciate it. if we're being subjective, then of course it's about how you feel about music. But we're talking about music in general. Let me refute your example, if you're singer, you can sing very well, and you do it for a living, does that automatically mean you're a music lover? I can tell you a friend of mine or two who are good singers yet they don't listen to music. Again, if we're being subjective, yes you're all right. Nobody's opinion is wrong. But what I'm saying is that if you're a music lover then you appreciate all kinds of music regardless of genre.

Again, that's exactly my point. =) If you are a music lover, then you have to be open about music and love music for being music not because of its genre. I mean, how would you feel when your someone claims he is a music lover yet he knows just one song and likes it because it's popular and everybody listens to it. Of course anyone could say that they are music lovers. If that's how you perceive yourself then by all means, call yourself a music lover. =)

That's it right? That's what I'm talking about. Even though you have preferences in music, you have to have an open mind and not be biased nor prejudice when it comes to the singer or genre. =)

That's the music lover I'm talking about. =) You listen to all kinds of music and appreciate all genres. And you even listen to old songs not dismissing them outright just because they're old or whatever prejudices people have with music. I also play the piano, the guitar and the flute. Not to sound cheesy or corny but whenever I play music, I feel like it reaches my inner self. It helps me relax and it comforts me. =)

Ok you're missing the point here. Dude, even if you ask RnB song writers, I'm pretty sure RnB is not the only genre they're listening to. True, genre is just a classification of music. But again, how could you say you're a true music lover if you're biased when it comes to genres of music? Just like what you said, music defines feelings and emotions etc. so you have to love music in general and not be choosy with genres. If you prefer listening to only RnB music, would you say you really appreciate music? Please look at the discussion a little deeper and analyze the point more. The point of this discussion is if you're a music lover if you appreciate music in general regardless of genre. What do you mean "not because you appreciate any music genre you can call yourself a music lover"? Loving music as music means you love the melody, the feelings you feel whenever you hear it, the rhythm, the notes, etc. all of which means that you need to appreciate all kinds of music in spite or despite of their genre. Besides, your argument that "music defines feelings and emotions, mixed with rhyme, blended by note's and nurture by beats. Loving music is as easy as everyone does(what?)" brings the topic in a subjective note. I'm not saying that you're wrong. If we're being subjective here, then your arguments are absolutely right about the feelings. But this is an objective discussion because it specifically tackles the issue of a person claiming he/she is a music lover and yet he/she just listens to songs he/she prefers which happen to be included in one classification/genre. Please take a deep analysis of the discussion first before you refute the argument. =)

Anyway, you're cool for being a music lover in your own way. And I appreciate the response. Happy myLotting dude. =)
