Older country is... bearable I guess. This... pop-rock-country garbage though? No thanks.
Some of it's more than bearable, heh. I'll fight the critter that disses on Rawhide, m'self. Only somewhat metaphorically. I'm pretty sure the law around here would actually look away if you decked someone for that :P

And the parents thing is a sorta'. Apparently what you listen to in your late teens/early twenties is what you'll probably primarily enjoy 'till the day you die, so if it's different in that range, it may just diverge.

... which is good for me, because my playlist during that period was "everything". Pretty close to literally, genre wise.

I'd rather listen to the worst pop-country than rap. Being forced to listen to the worst of the worst gangsta rap while training with a man you utterly hate will color a genre in one's mind like that >_>

Eh... it can, but you can still learn to give it a fair shake and find some stuff you like. Was a while for me that rap/country/(protestant) gospel was basically my trifecta of auditory hate (the latter two in particular for similar reasons). Now I've got a good handful in all of 'em I enjoy pretty well. Just gotta' find what part of the style does it for you, and there's almost always something that'll get you going.

Except stuff like noise music, anyway. If you can't tolerate most of that you probably can't tolerate any of it.

... there was a few years where I'd occasionally go to sleep listening to metal machine music. Pretty sure I took some hearing damage in those years :V

If you get in the right mindset it's a lot like listening to the waves. Becomes pretty relaxing. Your existence becomes a web of sound and you just kinda' float.

... and no, no drugs were involved.

Eh. Music doesn't seem to trigger any kind of emotional response for me.
So basically the only reason I listen to music is because silence does.

I didn't really like music, especially music with single people singing for the majority of it. Classical music was okay, but I found this band that I really like that does really upbeat and epic orchestra music, so I listen to them.

There's a tremendous variety of primarily instrumental music out there. If you've found one, don't forget to look for more, heh. It's always nice to listen to new music that appeals to you, and it's definitely easy to not realize just what or how much fits in that category if you don't have much exposure. Oodles and oodles of free stuff online these days, too, if the cost is an issue... and that's not counting youtube et al that has close to everything even if it's not exactly licit.

And tack, yer a freak :P Or haven't found the right sound, yet.

More seriously, there's plenty of reason to enjoy music that doesn't involve any particular emotive reaponse. Probably half the stuff I listen to is mainly due to the skill or complexity involved with it -- it's pleasing/engaging/etc. to hear someone exercise a skill, sometimes even if the sound itself isn't entirely in tune with my tastes. Good chunk of the rest is because how well they lend themselves to accompanyment, not listening for the sound itself so much as the opportunity to work the voice (or whistling). Is particularly a thing if you have any instrument training you have reason to keep up on. Though not liking the quiet is a reason, too, sure... probably one I'd personally recommend against cultivating, since being able to be okay with just your thoughts and all that is pretty import, imo, but a reason nonetheless.

Yoink, when you hear voices in you'd head while using the bathroom, that's called schizophrenia.

Twenty-eight hours without sleep and I'm feeling remarkably lucid. I look like the dead, but I feel better than expected.

Cheesehead (dutch: kaaskop) is the term used here to denote people born in the provinces of north and south Holland, and sometimes even as a term to describe a dutch person in general.
