music and culture

My music culture I suppose should be something influenced by where I grew up and what surrounds me daily.. well, I grew up in the South--born in Atlanta , raised in Birmingham--but I don't really identify myself with Country music.. I actually don't like it very much at all. Haha but, my favorite song when I was little was Song of the South by Alabama.. so, I guess that reflects where I was raised although whenever I heard it, the song put me to sleep.. My parents took me to the concert (apparently) and I slept through that too.

Anyway, that song is nostalgic but I don't go out of my way to hear it.. I hear a lot of Pop around me (most people do) but I don't really get into it as much as other genres.. so that's kind of like an outside culture in relation to its significance (or lack of) to me..

The music I listen to is sort of graffiti ish--just a collage. I associate driving anywhere with more of classic rock, and just like earlier forms of rock. Indie is for chilling in the morning or late at night, or just more personal listening. Sex Pistols and Rage Against the Machine find my ears before soccer games or just like while I go running. Electro gives me something to dance to. Jam music and Psychedelic music is for chilling with friends. But I'm just in to actively looking at/for all types of music and just making them a part of me via the internet through blogs and file sharing.
