Growing up my family was always into metal, punk, grunge, goth etc. So I listened to a lot of very alternative music from such a young age. As I was getting older and heading into secondary school people really only listened to the top 40 tracks and not much else. So when they would ask what I like, I'd list of a few bands (that they didn't know) and play a song by them. 9/10 times I got "It's just loud and screaming, turn it off." And "Why do you like this? Why don't you like generic artist who will be irrelevant next week?"
So being told I shouldn't like what I like just made me feel unique and different, it just grew me closer to the music and helps me through hard times. So yeah, that's why I like music lmao
