lookingforsem (We’ll assume for a moment that you’re not trolling):
Before we talk about music, I want to make it clear that I was quoting Healthcrazy before, not giving my own opinion. Now:
You did a pretty good job of countering Healthcrazy’s points there, actually. You’ve clearly given the subject thought.
So, you say:
1) “i happen to listen to it bc i feel like its the norm”
2 “i personally dont understand y people DONT listen to not jewish music!!?! and most frum girls i kw listen to not jewish music bc where in the torah does it say not to listen to not jewish music?”
3) “not listen to not jewish music which is not required by the torah”
4) “and this is another reason y i listen to not jewish music”
which probably referred to “There is no such thing as Jewish music that is not influenced by Non Jewish music.”
(Those last two were in my “Dilemma…” thread.)
5) “their just isnt enough […] jewish music so when i get bored of [it] i listen to not jewish music”
We can talk about whether it’s right in the other thread.
Here, I just want to ask a few questions.
1) You and the girls you know – do your parents also
listen to non-Jewish music? What about your brothers?
2) Do you really think that the average girl who’d describe herself as “super yeshivish” or “a very good yeshivish girl”
thinks this way about this subject?
(Maybe this has something to do with you being from out-of-town.)
They don’t where I come from, and I don’t think the girls in the very yeshivish/academic sems do either. You might not fit in there, as at least one person has already pointed out.
