well... i understand that you wouldn't want to be categorized and labeled as
'female,' but in terms of "perspectives"... i mean, isn't it interesting to
talk to a white country hick about urban black music? isn't it interesting
to talk to a mexican immigrant that loves heavy metal? and this is not to
say that females that like electronic music are this seemingly
contradictory, it's just that different perspectives offer us insights.
i love the feelings that, thanks to music-related insights, i'm slowly
fleshing out this gigantic puzzle in my own way. that my understandings of
various genre classifications are slowly blurring together naturally,
representing their actual state of coexistence.
