You know, speaking of music, last school year I took a class that was supposed to be about studying and appreciating a wide variety of music genres, but a thing that bothered me was that the teacher really obviously hated metal music. Like, she would talk about learning to appreciate all genres but make very backhanded comments about metal specifically (and saying stuff like "every time I listen to metal I think 'oh, doesn't the screaming hurt?'" when scream singing does, in fact, not hurt your voice if you do it correctly... in a class where we learn about different singing techniques for different genres...) That class was pretty awful for a lot of reasons but that in particular got on my nerves as someone who knows a lot of metal fans.

#not jojo related #personal #teacher was just. very obviously a ''thinks they're better for listening to classical music unlike those scoundrel metal fans'' person #my metal fan friends listen to like the coolest stuff #they got me into artists i wouldn't have known about otherwise (cough. listen to oceans of slumber. cough)#that class was genuinely the worst though... like 80% of the class failed (not exaggerating)#it really was torturously boring to sit through #i really did not absorb any information from it sdfklsdj... i really still feel like i do not know much of anything about music
