1) If I wanna listen to a band/artist music, not based on hype. Maybe its clear that I wanna check them out for myself. If I like them, then I like them. If I don't then I don't simple as that.
2) I listen to pop, rock, metal, edm, jazz, classical music, country, maybe some rap or r&b. But I listen to music that is very good with me, so that idiot calling me a wannabe fan is clearly stupid. You don't have to be black to listen to rap, you don't have to be white to listen to rock, pop, or country. Just because you're Hispanic, you don't have to listen to reggae etc.
People can listen to whatever they want, it shouldnt be based on the color of your skin. Not gonna lie, I like listening to 5 Seconds Of Summer, One Direction, Justin Bieber, The Wanted, Ariana Grande etc, not based on hype....I really like their music. So i don't see what the big deal is....
