Back in the olden days when I used to listen to POP and Tamil and Hindi songs, I used to be a singer. People admired me and loved to listen to me.

But as I started to move away to Rock music, I was having a very hard time living up. I didn’t want to sing along in public anymore. Once when I lost control and sang along with my headphones on, a friend pulled my headphone off and told me to “Stop making that noise!”.

Now, after having listened to a considerable amount of Rock and Metal and other similar kinds of music, these are my observations:

1. In Rock, you don’t sing. You shout.
2. Rock vocalists or the whites in general work a lot more on voice modulation than we do.
3. Some of the best Rock songs were created under the influence of LSD or other strong drugs.
4. Alternative Rock bands (Linkin Park, etc.) suck.
5. The more you likes Rock, the more you will loathe other forms of music.

Well, I also listen to Carnatic music. I don’t know if that’s normal for Rock fans but Carnatic pleases me too. Now that college is over for me, I wonder what the people I work with like to listen to.
