Q: do you enjoy listening to music that you don't like so that you can learn how to not do the things that kind of music does? Or would you rather be listening to music that you like so that you can learn how to use elements of that music in your music? or both? or neither, maybe?
A: it is nice to listen to music i 'don't like', but not to learn to avoid it. to learn to like it. it is always good to find an understanding of everything that happens in your world
