Accept The New?

As Americans, we went from Classical music...To Big Band...From Jazz...To Blues...From Country...To Rock and Roll...and so on and so forth. But eventually, we land on a little thing known as "Hip Hop" in the 1980's. Hip Hop, along with many of the genres before it, started as an outcast in music development, but eventually moves on to dominant pop culture.
BUT, the past year or so, I've found myself drifting away from Hip Hop altogether and enjoying music for being music (And not a genre). Someone told me the other day that I have a "weird" taste in music, and I figured that eventually, that person will be a fan of the same style of music as I; in due time. But just like all genres of NEW music, there's always scrutiny. But I encourage everyone to accept the new. Do I think Hip Hop is dead? Nah, it just evolving into something else.
