I have to say that one can sort of tell a person's racial values that lie under the skin by what genre of music they like, and what genres they disparage.

And for clarification, I am never going to love Rock and Metal music, I just happen to like a lot more music now than I used to.

Recent escapades into electronic music has revealed to me just how white my tastes used to be. I used to look down on Hip Hop, Rap, Pop, Country and EDM and listen to nothing but Rock, Metal and some Jazz.

And it does feel that a lot of it has come from being exposed to and influenced by western sensibilities at an early age. A lot of white people love Rock, they especially love Metal, especially when they can use it as a way to roleplay their imagined Nord, Teuton superiority, and Jazz is only really considered acceptable by white folk when they colonize the Jazz scene and profit off of it while black Jazz musicians usually take a nightstick by bastard cops because they didn't believe that a black person has any place in white dominated spaces.

Meanwhile, the music I was taught to look down upon are genres of music that were invented by, or influenced by people of colour.

And there is a big contrast I see between Rock and Metal fans and fans of EDM, HipHop, Rap and Pop music. In that people of the first camp tend to be indifferent at best, and hostile at worst to your identity if you're queer in any way. I've seen a LOT of acceptance and kindness from the EDM/HipHop/Rap etc community, in contrast.

My brother, Gen, told me that it does sound like a cross between Chillhop and IDS

Learning to use MPC Beats by learning to compose Trap.

Oh yeah, quickly dropping in here to say that Val has summoned me. I'll be hanging out at @DemonISM@snouts.online

...and you know what? I will throw what's left of my rep away all over again in order to do the right thing.

Just like how I did when I left that Altfurry and Furry Raiders shit behind. (I was well-liked there back in the day, but I willingly gave that up because it was making me spiritually sick, and I was hurting the ones I love the most.)

Speaking as someone who has been cancelled many times, white people need to get over it. After all, I did, and I left the whiteness behind. It was colonizing my mind anyways.

Yes, when you spend a big chunk of your life trying to fit in and playing to the tune of white people's cultural narrative, you are white while also being a POC. It's how whiteness erases your cultural identity.

White people: Colonizes every space they find, forces people to behave in a neurodivergent-exclusionary way, and gets disabled, poc and trans people suspended, or bullied off platforms if they don't follow the script.

Also white people: "Why are you cancelling us!!!????!?!?! How dare you speak up against us, we will violate your privacy and drag YOUR dirty laundry out in the open, and then we'll see who the bad guy is!"

Yeah I think I am gonna head to bed, I am exhausted. And I think I may have a nasal-ear canal problem.
