Q: hey i asked the ska question from an hour or so ago. man i gotta talk this out, i hope you will listen because it feels important to me and i want to get your thoughts. i used to LOVE ska. streetlight manifesto was probably my first musical love. yet nobody else in my rural community seemed to like them very much. my mom called my music "mariachi music" which upset me, because her deliberate mischaracterization showed me the lack of care she had for what i liked, and that the music didn't resonate with her, so she belittled it.
A: are you belittling mariachi music
