It's a hard habit to shake.

I am of the opinion (and I try to teach this to my music classes) that MOST ALL dislike of a certain type of music is not related to the music at all, but is actually related to the assumptions made about the people who typically listen to that type of music.
In other words, if you find yourself hating country music, then it's probably because you dislike the types of people you associate with country music. Rap music seems to work the same way.
