People get judged for the type of music they listen to, but why? Those people that judge say aweful things about people and the kinds of music they listen to, but for what reason, and at what cost? Everybody has an opinion, which they are entitiled to, and the freedom of speech gives them the right to say whatever they wish to a certain extent, but there is no need to be rude about it or say things that could hurt others. That's the problem with society today, nobody cares about anyone elses feelings, its all about whatever benefits themselves. But as a human being, you should respect other people, and respect yourself in doing that. The golden rule "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" is exactly what people need to learn. If you expect to be respected, you must give people respect. That even pertains to music. You may not think music is that big of a deal, that it means nothing, but it is so much more. Music is EVERYTHING. People use music every day just to get through the hard times. Those suicidal people, that hurt themselves when they get hurt, most of them listen to music as an escape, so they can be happy, or try, so they don't hurt. If listening to music with screaming is a way for them to do that, what's it to anybody else? Nobody HAS to listen to it. If you can hear it, ask them to turn it down. Other than that, there's no need for anybody to comment rude things, except for personal gain, because some people make themselves feel better by tearing others down. Even though in reality it just makes them look like the messed up one. A friend of mine once told me that he didn't like a teacher, so I asked him why, and he told me that it was because she made a comment that everyone that listens to screamo is going to kill themselves someday. That friend was so upset about it, and still gets worked up about it to this day, and that was a year ago, because that is the kind of music he listens to. Everyone is entitled to listen to whatever music they wish, just as they are entitled to their own opinion. Nobody has more of a right than any other person, and nobody has the right to take that right away from anyone else.
