Well, the form of art that I don’t understand or appreciate is most definitely rock music. I think the reason that I don’t comprehend is because of the inconsistency it has, even though most people tend to enjoy it. I have encountered it and the first experience of rock music was very bad. I was there in a concert. A friend took me to a concert and he told me it would be just music. So I thought it was some traditional music or you know some classical music. So I went along but when I went there I encountered and you know experienced rock music for the first time in my life and thankfully it was the last time in my life because I can’t just seem to handle the rock music I can’t seem to like understand it I can’t seem to comprehend it and I can’t seem to like think why people is so like they’re so intrigued about this genre of music because in my opinion I think it’s just bass less noise with a lot of screaming and you know with just high pitched basses or guitars and they just you know even though I would still say that there is a lot of rhythm in it they still compose the music they isn’t just you know some something that has no rhythm but even if it has a rhythm or or whatever a basic music requires, but still it’s too noisy. It literally, if you are just standing very close to a live concert, I think there’s a higher chance that you’re going to get your eardrums like damaged because the amount of noise, the amount of like the sound levels are so high that it is unbearable. And I think we can’t even hear or you know like what they are saying or what they are trying to say and I don’t appreciate it because it can cause a lot of health problems for us because this form of art is not what music was meant to be.

Well, the form of art that I don't understand or appreciate is most definitely rock music. I think the reason I don't comprehend it is because of the inconsistency it has, even though most people tend to enjoy it. I encountered it for the first time at a concert. A friend took me to a concert and told me it would be just music. So I thought it would be some traditional or classical music. I went along, but when I got there, I experienced rock music for the first time in my life, and thankfully it was the last time because I can't seem to handle it. I can't seem to understand it, and I can't think why people are so intrigued by this genre of music. In my opinion, I think it's just bassless noise with a lot of screaming and high-pitched guitars. Even though I would say that there is a lot of rhythm in it, they still compose the music. It isn't just something that has no rhythm, but even if it has a rhythm or whatever basic music requires, it's still too noisy. If you are standing very close to a live concert, I think there's a higher chance that your eardrums could be damaged because the amount of noise and the sound levels are so high that it is unbearable. I think we can't even hear what they are saying or what they are trying to convey. I don't appreciate it because it can cause a lot of health problems for us. This form of art is not what music was meant to be.
