Is it normal i like metal and rock but im black

Im a black chick and I like metal and post grunge. I just like the distortions of the guitar, blasting drums and preferably a male singing and I feel like I would be judged for liking this type of music because its loud, distorted and the screamo and it considered to be white folks music and that because Im black I should be listening to Nicki Minaj or some hip hop or something. Im embarrassed to listen to music in public or listen to my music loud with headphones. I like all types of music in fact. I just like whatever track sounds good to my ear, be it pop, rock, metal, altern., rap, hip hop, electronica etc.

    Rock and roll originated from the Blues, which was exclusively 'black' peoples music until people like Bill Haley and Elvis Presley introduced this type of music to predominantly 'white' audiences.

    There is nothing wrong with that. I'm Hispanic and I love Metal. Believe me, you are NOT the only Black person that likes Metal and Rock. I have so many Black friends that enjoy it. Hell, I have a black friend who is the vocalist for a band called As Oceans. Check their stuff out on YouTube. They're just starting out and their shit is amazing.

    stop stereotyping yourself .
    being black doesn't have anything to do with your tastes .
    you seriously don't know how annoying it is for a black person to say "I like ( insert random thing) BUT I'm black."
    so what , who cares .

    You can listen to what you want. Most music is of black origin anyway and white folks don't seem to worry themselves too much.

    Of course it's normal, what about Jimi Hendrix!

    Also Slash from Guns and Roses and Martin Gore from Depeche mode are both Black(Mulatto). Lenny Kravitz and Justin Warfield from She Wants Revenge are half Black and half Jewish. Phil Lynott from Thin Lizzy is a Black man; half Afro-Brazilian and Irish. And of course there's bands like In Living Color and Fishbone.

    Of his mixed background, Slash later remarked, "As a musician, I've always been amused that I'm both British and Black; particularly because so many American musicians seem to aspire to be British while so many British musicians, in the sixties in particular, went to such great pains to be Black."
