I am mostly white and was raised in a white household, and I like rock music and can’t dance. I can’t dance I guess because as a kid no one ever showed me how, but I have white friends who can dance very well, and when they have tried to show me, they said I was too stiff – I guess I would have had to start earlier. Also, I do like to dance, even though I am not good at it, but sometimes when I do, black people laugh at me ant say it’s because I’m white, which I think is racist and sort of embarrassing because it makes me feel less confident of my capacity to eventually figure out how. I like rock music because I like the melodies and lyrics and the sounds of the instruments. I don’t like all rock music, but I like a lot of it. My best answer would be to ask why WOULDN’T someone like rock music? It sounds so moving and beautiful to my ears, so I’d like to know.
