I use to listen to rap, until 9th grade. Not in a million years did I expect to be listening to death metal, I thought that stuff was too crazy/tacky and the people that listened to it were weirdos(which I still think they are). In 9th grade, a friend of mine sent me a song by Tool which isn't metal, but the only other rock I've listened to besides Linkin Park at that time. Then later, my friend started telling me bands like Nothingface, Dry Kill Logic, Slipknot, basically Mallcore bands. Eventually, I started discovering bands on my own, and now I am listening to much heavier metal then I use to 3 years ago, it was a huge change for me, when someone looks at me they would never expect that I am a metalhead at all. Now I don't really listen to rap, only if I have to, I can tolerate it since I have listened to it since I was 9. Metal isn't the only genre I listen to, I am very open-minded to all sorts of music, but mostly I listen to metal.
