It's not entirely my style of music but I do have a deep appreciation for it. Without Jazz we wouldn't have Rock 'n' Roll, an without Rock we would have metal, punk, alternative, etc. We also owe the black community way more credit than they're given for creatin' that style in the first place.
Did ya know the first real Rock an' Roller was a black woman name Sister Rosetta Tharpe? Some white git named Elvis decided to steal her style, and use it t'gain popularity and money. Meanwhile, no one remembers Sister Tharpe, but I do.
She's practically the mother of rock music and deserves so much more respect and honor.
