Music is a thing, which everybody likes, but is discussed by everyone. If someone googles “music”, he will be presented 2,910,000,000 entries. He does the same with “U.S.A.”: he finds just 713,000,000. There are so many genres in different ways, that making a list of it is an impossible experiment. In addition every year new styles are invented. So is it surprising finding someone, who has got the same favourite music style like me, is difficult? Thinking this way, I do not support your opinion kids with subwoofers have got a “shitty taste of music” Without subwoofers you cannot listen to this beautiful sound of e.g. a contrabass and then I guess you miss the basic of the composition, whatever style you listen to (even Beethoven).

But instead of, you are right. Music supports feelings in every way. It may make you happy listen to music, but also make you crying. But before it can leave such feeling, it has to be invented. Inventors sometimes describe their bad or lovely situation to describe it for an audience. And their music style choice may be a way visualising their feelings. Therefore it is possible, that John Howard Griffin begins thinking about music, which were listened by Blacks living in a better world, than in 1959. Maybe this desperates him in a way he does not expect, so he calls his white friend for rescuing him of this frightening situation.
