I remember saying "I don't listen to music" in high school and half of college because I didn't feel I could listen to the music I enjoyed without being made fun of. I basically didn't listen to music until I was in college and I had space to explore what I liked and didn't like without peer pressure.

To this day I don't listen to music in front of anyone other than my wife and kids. I still remember the exact derogatory quote that a person I thought was my friend said in regards to me showing them some music I liked... from about 40 years ago.

That's one thing I instill in my kids, everyone is allowed to like and not like what they want and they should not be made fun of for any of their preferences.

What kind of music?

Yeah, music is a weird one. I also always said I didn't listen to music. I did listen to a lot of songs from video games though. When I was annoyed enough I told them something like Rock, but that always led to the question if I can name some artists or songs. Didn't knew many. I hate these kinds of conversations.
