Not really. prejudice can be defined as 'a preconceived preference or idea'. If someone decides they don't like a genre of music in it's entirety...so for arguments sake let's say R'n'B, then they'll never listen to any new R'n'B because they've already decided they don't like it - that's a preconceived idea.....and often that dislike isn't really based on any meaningful in depth exploration of that genre anyway. It's perfectly ok though...most people listen to music for fun and like music they feel affects them, or reflects them. That why there are so many different kinds of music and so many kinds of 'taste'...... ;-)

Every genre we dislike will probably have something, some example song which we'd really like, that doesn't make the genre any better than we originally thought, it just shows there's probably good in every genre. Which we know already.


But we're not all going to spend our time searching through comparatively 'low return' genres in the hope of finding the track or band which will convert us. There just isn't time, especially when you get past teenybop years.


I luckily have friends that filter stuff for me and lend me good music (in their opinion) and I can make up my own mind, meanwhile I have half a dozen genres which I'm still feverishly pursuing and where I find most of my musical satisfaction.

I see where you're coming from DJKQ and I take your point, though I think Otta put it better and more simply. It's true that some people just shut their ears because they don't like "that kind of music" no matter what "that" kind of music may be.

As to my own "taste" it is very eclectic and in that if I like something I like it. If I don't, I don't, no matter what genre it is from. I'm broad church and I'm broader than Broadway.


Anyway... time for lunch. dum di dum di dum. Have a pleasant afternoon.

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
