   It can’t be bias. You can listen to whatever you like. There are plenty of Blacks out there who like it, too.

   HAHAHA I’m the opposite, I grew up around the white side of my family, and listen to old school hip-hop. And my white cousins join me, they love it becoz of me. I guess black culture is easier to embrace than the white one.lol

   Maybe they are just joking. We don’t take it, seriously, when our family or friends do it. If they treat you mean most of the time than that is different.

   Of course, everyone can listen to rock. But to me rock is just embarrassing, sorry, that’s just my opinion.

   There is nothing wrong with listening to what kind of music you like. I love classical and jazz music and sometimes I get made fun of because I like classical music. I just deal with it and keep listening to what I like. It is a free country so listen to what you like!

   I’m of African descent and I listen to rock music (heavy/alternative/Nu). Oddly enough, it is the British side of my family that teases me about it. A lot of black people listen to rock music as well (mainstream pop rock).

    they are probably not used to it and don’t listen to it much they may be a little narrow minded in their musuc tastes and not so open at first but maybe they’ll come around or they could just be teasing you don’t take it seriously but i think it’s great. I LOVE all music including ROCK and i’m black among other things so your not alone rock on lol
