When I first heard Erykah Badu and D'Angelo, I kinda liked it, but was more in the "rock music" mindset, and thought "this isn't my music, I shouldn't be listening to this." So I filed it away for a while and forgot about it. This wasn't really a voluntary thing.. it was more of an unconscious thing, where I felt uncomfortable dipping into a totally new genre.
In fact I went so far as to tell myself the music D'Angelo made was lifeless and depressing, and I don't know why. Suddenly though I decided to listen to them again, and realized that it's good music, and I identify with it, so it really is "my" music.
Does anyone else experience this, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, where a new genre is kind of off-putting to you at the beginning?
