What are yours?
There’s a big difference between disregarding them and just simply not liking them for their sound.
Also, all my dislikes are subgenres. I could see why it would be ignorant if someone hated an entire genre such as rock.

House
Electronica
Death Metal
Thrash Metal (Just a wee bit)
Celtic Metal
Doom Metal

‘Modern’ Rap (Hate)
R&B (Dislike)
‘core genres (Dislike)
Jazz (Meh)

Thanks to a couple of young promoters who brought the musicians to Europe–where they were treated with a good deal more respect and dignity than in America–we get an extraordinary lineup of bluesmen and women: Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Buddy Guy, John Lee Hooker, Sippie W… |

Kentucky or Tennessee? (Which do you prefer most and least? Why?)?
I prefer Tennessee because of its (mostly) friendly people, music heritage and appreciation, gorgeous mountains, warm climate (while still maintaining four distinct season,) strong economy, great schools (Vanderbilt, Tennessee, Rhodes, Belmont, etc.,) and Memphis and Nashville, which are awesome cities. Plus, it’s close to Texas, the Carolinas, and the Gulf beaches. A great state!
I do not prefer Kentucky. I’ve lived there, and it sucks! The people are rude, impolite, and unhelpful. Heck, it’s hard to even get a person to smile there; talk about some sour folks. People in Louisville and Lexington are cliquish and snooty; even in churches people get hateful with you. Some of the small towns (namely Corbin, Frankfort, Lawrenceburg, and Bardstown) aren’t much better. The economy sucks, and the education system isn’t much better. The ONE good thing about KY is the scenery; gotta love those gorgeous rolling hills!
KY and TN are rival states, that’s why I asked the question.
I live in Louisville, Kentucky and I love it here. I agree that people in Lexington are rude, but not all people in Louisville are, it all depends on where you go. The educations system here is great, yes there are problems, but it is improving. Just because you had a bad experience don’t down a place because of it. Not everyone in the state is alike.
