Listening to music (white culture) vs feeling and moving to music (black culture)
What about industrial / ebm? That music makes you want to move and dance. I don’t know for sure but it’s probably more popular in Europe.
Thank you for refuting my opinion. I thought just feeling the music and moving to it is attainable for a detached white person.
I was clearly making up a bullshit excuse.

Have you ever been to a country music concert? I'm not a huge fan of the music, but the concerts are pretty fun. The fans dance to that type of music all night long.
I'm Turkish, I listen to music with my turkey — 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
My Western hello to your turkey:
I just know as a black man I love jazz and country. I'm not a dancer. I just like music that takes me into a feeling of traveling on country roads, country girls and bars (country music) and a feeling of being transcended on an island, meditate, sit back and unwind and chill (smooth jazz).
If you like dance music something to get you motivated and get your body swinging in motion I would highly suggest electronic and r&b.
Hi,
The offended peop you are free to voice your outrage. I have read that white culture is more influenced by music that you listen to in an introspective way (classic music).
Then a lot later rockmusic came with their antidisco attitude and the fact that you can`t dance to rock music. I feel not in tune with my body, i tried body isolation exercises
just to find out how the anatomy can be used. The blacks apparently have a culture where they dont listen with their head more with their heart and body. Is that true?
I try to do that, and I am immediately in a state of pure joy. It still feels awkward though, and Id like to have a manual for that though. Does that rant makes sense? I am trying out dancing
Culturally it makes sense. I would like to point out blue grass and swing dance music makes you want to move too.
Cultures whom dancing is a big part are easier to dance to. It's one of the benifits of diversity imo.
It goes beyond dancing though. Music can imprint through repitation like a chant and even be therapeutic.
For example people who had a breakup and listen to music that matches that feeling. It helps process those feelings.
What you are drawn to in a mood, what touches you and bring out feelings and memories more strongly can tell you a lot about your unconscious and current state.
Especially if you sing or dance along with it.
By that same mechanic you can cheer yourself up by listening to your favorite upbeat music.
I personally have playlists saved that have strong feelings. Songs were you can really feel the singers and artists heart in soul in it. After all the best art and creativity comes from some place inside. I can really feel that.

I'm thinking to myself as I'm sitting here that maybe funk party type stuff is made for fiery people because I don't know, the music is fiery and electric that makes flexible energetic bodies get their groove on? Like I dunno. I can't see a person like me with zero fire and no rhythm in me listening to any funk stuff (other than some old school rap music if you wanna call that funk). Maybe if I was into aerobics then yeah.
Are you blackmamba?

How exactly do you 'listen with your heart'? The heart is an organ responsible for pumping blood and supplying oxygen to your system among other things. It has nothing to do with feelings or emotions. Feelings and emotions come from your head, same place responsible for white ppl enjoying their "introspective music"
May I suggest it has more to do with (a) personality type/temperament (b) culture. And not race/genetics
For example, do you think Coleman Hughes listens to music "the black way"? Or the introspective way?

Actually that music doesn’t make me feel like dancing 😂 but Ive never really liked that style of music

I guess that really depends on your personal taste. I listen to a lot of different music but I don’t like HipHop or Rap. Been waltzing though 😁
Also polyrhythms of Africa influenced Jazz. Jazz is so diverse too and not only can it be danced to but a lot of it is incredibly complicated and "mind based"
Eastern music is so much more complicated than western in a lot of ways.
Those viewpoints are so outdated and are simply prejudiced. Anyone who knows how music works, knows that music is free and universal.
As if polyrythmic music hasn't existed in Europe. Rap is also just shortform for Rhapsody that has existed since the Ancient Greeks and possibly before.
Let's also be real Jazz existed very early on. Tell me that is a bonafide Medieval Jass band? They even have a Jassy name ' The Troubadours'.
Everybody has their own thing. But nothing has impressed me more than this.

Are you white first or a human first?
Leave the colors for crayons
Isnt this is where problems started? When we left colors to crayons? Do you know how shocked I was learning that black people need sunscreen from a stand up comic? I wish I knew!!! I wish they made Black History month to ACTUALLY talk about colors and different abilities because black people CAN move! And I do not feel insulted when they say white men cant jump! I am open to know all the things that genetically are done better by some races and differences in our hair and skin color and what not...
WE NEED talking colors!
For the peace.

I just want to correct you on one little thing. It's caucasian folks the ones who needs sunscreen more than blacks. I'm a tan man so I can go without ever wearing sunscreen if I want. Sunscreen is good for all folks of all colors to prevent skin cancer from the uv rays.
Rhythm is genetic and associated with genes near or in early brain development. Basically its too late for you op. But hey, it could be worse. You could have no rhythm AND the gene that makes cilantro taste like soap.

I guess you are trying to look tough and you thinking that having a heart is emasculating to you so guess what?
Best and most masculine men written timeless art that speaks about feeling with men's HEART!
If you are challenging classics - you have a long line of people to get thought who are laughing at your way to prove your masculinity by denying feelings of the heart y some BS post and involving science into feelings and all of it just a CRAP!

That's a nice theory but no, it's just a biological fact that you cannot actually think, feel or create with your heart. All of those things are actually done in your brain. Heart is an different organ responsible for a whole different set of tasks.
Out of all the things I've said, THAT is what you react to and try to dismantle? 🤣 No wonder we're getting stupider as a species
Heart means not the prefrontal cortex, if you connect instinctually and emotionally to music. Let me throw another bodypart at you that you cant listen with. Balls! I find that some songs connect to a primal part in me, like when I feel fired up and ready to smash something (or someone).
