me and music

Back when I was growing up we had music like, poison, and offspring, and Metalica. My parents hated the music that my brother and I listened to. I think that part of the reason that we did was because they hated it. I used to listen to all kinds of music from country to rock and roll. I didn't really care as long as it was loud.

I think that most of the music that I listened to was pretty raunchy. It had a lot of swearing and they mostly talked about killing and stuff like that. Metalica is more heavy metal and it was loud. My mom would constantly be yelling at me to turn it down that it gave her a headache. Offspring was a little more mellow.

I really liked the music because it gave me a sense of freedom when I listened to it alone. Like nothing could touch me and I was invincible. Also it's what all of my friends were listening to at the time. I spent most of my time as a teenager listening to music and waiting for the next great band to come out. My friends and I would hang out listening to new music. None of the adults around us at the time couldn't understand why we listened to the music that we did, they thought that it was just a bunch of noise and it was no good.

When I was 16 almost 17 I remember going to a Garth Brooks concert with my boyfriend and I thought that it was great. I have also been to a Charlie Daniels band concert. I have heard so many different kinds of music in my life that now I will pretty much listen to anything that comes on the radio.

I still have cd's from when I was younger, and now that I am a mother and an adult myself I realize why my parents hated it so much. I listen to it now and even I think that it is to loud. Now when I am at home I listen to children's songs like Hannah Montana and The Naked Brothers Band.
