I think I very well may love every genre of music... I enjoy certain artists that perform certain genres just as much as other artists that perform completely different genres that is worlds apart. I think we should critique an artists work rather than the art itself. Might keep you from finding something you'd enjoy otherwise.
Actually this should be applied to all forms of art. Some things just mean different things to different people or effect people in a different way than you. Which really doesn't mean that enjoying a certain art makes you any different than anyone else. Everyone has different living experiences and was raised by different means and in different situations by different people who aren't exempt from that reality. So everyone should be inspired by different things and create in different ways. So maybe you can't relate to a certain artist but that doesn't mean all art that falls into said genre is bad nor does it mean the art itself is actually bad.
Any genre can be diverse. For example I adore Horror and most of my art reflects that but it's more so Fantasy I like over anything else. Horror can be very diverse and doesn't Immediately imply the art will have gore. Some is meant to thrill and some is meant to scare and yes some is meant to be Gorey. But I do see a lot of assumptions made being so heavily into one genre though (I would like to also point out I enjoy a ton of other forms of art and media). Most of the assumptions are that because one enjoys a Gorey movie that you also enjoy real life gore or inspire violence. I have to say I have been completely desensitized to violence in media, yet still dead body's creep me out and I am still easily disturbed by scenes of real life violence. Yet I've had a few people make these assumptions about me so I know they exist. But though a movie may have gore and so on, it could be against a certain idea as well as being informative. Touching on whether or not it inspires violence; this is usually in a case of adolescence or mental illness. It's up to parents to censor what there children see as well as being there to explain what they've seen when they do see it. Bad parenting is not the artists fault and your child is not their responsibility. As for mental illness this is also for the proper authorities or the family of the person(s) to handle. Besides, in this case it's just as likely for the person to act out just the same despite the fact. whether or not there was a violent movie to inspire the said person is irrelevant.
Anyway, just thinking out loud...
Also upon saying this if I have ever told you something like "I'm curious about what it might be like to kill someone" or something of the sort, it was sarcasm. I was messing with you because you made a rude and ignorant assumption because I watch movies. I don't condone real life violence or the likes and it disturbs me the issue even needs to be touched and it really does. But I'd like to point this out either way, I write, read and watch FICTION and over non-fiction. Saying that should end any assumption you have of me right off the bat.
