The reason why I like it is because it protraysbstrong emotion and contains melodies that are very thought provoking and perfectly how with the song. Although I like rap, I can't really tell you why. It's not that I dont want to, it's that I dont know. It's the same way with all the music I listen to. My brain gets hooked on the pleasing melodies, or lyrics that I can relate to.
Among with that, my mind can most times pick up on the emotion of the artist and turn my mood into that emotion or emotions. I dont know if it's just me or if everyone can do this but this makes me gravitate to certain emotions in music rather than generas. Also, even though my mind can still pick up on them, my emotions usally only change with the song when they are strong. For example if I'm cleaning my room and listening to a to a really sad song, my brain will almost never change my emotions because I'm not feeling any strong emotion. It's because of this that I believe that it's sorta of a survival mechanism.
Even though I listen to alot of generas, there are some generas that I just don't listen to. Those generas that include country, catholic anything, Celtic, jazz, and a couple more. Even though I'm not a huge fan of of these generas, I'm not quite sure what about it I dont like. It may be that the melodies are repetitive and lack flavor and emotion or that my mind cant relate to the lyrics of the song. It may also be that I cant pick up on any emotion. I'm not quite sure that there even are any. Whatever it may be, music is a world of beautiful emotions.
