For me : Trippie Redd’s “!” Is actually a great album
That rap is absolute garbage. For reasons I can’t explain it makes me unbelievably angry to have to listen to. It probably has something to do with a combination of my anxiety and sensitivity to loud noises, but I don’t know. I do like metal, although I don’t like it particularly loud.
This may not be an unpopular in the outside world but somehow I bet it will be here, the vast majority of metal is just straight noise and incomprehensible yelling to me. I do enjoy when metal songs are covered by bluegrass bands though
I can’t stand Queen, even though I have respect for their skill. (my highschool had an “arts program” and they bombarded us with musicals, Queen, and some sort of Queen musical)
NIN does nothing for me, and I’ve tried several albums and owned one. It’s just… nothing soup.
95% of music in any genre is garbage, but you can find the 5% gems if you go looking for it.
Music is an art and listening to music / going to concert is hobby. It is totally fine not to have a taste for it, for any kind of it.
People who don’t enjoy music are somehow missing a part of their humanity.
I dislike modern pop’s mixing of the human voice, mixed so high compared to the rest, to the point where you can’t hear instruments anymore. The music is often there just for accompanyment, elevetor music. I rather have chillwave, where everything is one big reverb trick pony, than having to hear people screaming.
There are great songs and albums in all genres.
There are terrible songs and albums in all genres.
Listening to an album as it was released, front to back, is the best way to consume music.
Trent Reznor’s original version of Hurt is better than Johnny Cash’s version, which is terrible. I strongly dislike him bringing in the religious aspect by changing the lyrics and I just plain don’t like his voice.
Yeah, I said it.
People who suscribe to Spotify don’t give a shit about musicians.
noise music is unironically great and the justified reponse to capitalism ruining music
We’re in the best time to listen to music. There’s amazing stuff out there. It just doesn’t come to you automatically, you’ve got to seek it out.
Now, it’s a pretty bad time to be an artist trying to make a living. But it’s also the easiest time to DIY music.
Modern music slaps. Just gotta find the right albums.
Care to share some of your favorites?
One of my favorites recently has been Djesse Vol. 4 by Jacob Collier
Depends on how new you want it, but Rime of Memory by Panopticon is great.
There’s people on spotify with less than 5000 monthly listeners pumping out music so good it would have topped charts 10 years ago. The quality and talent of artists these days is insane.
These days? This has always been the case. I remember downloading mp3s from unknowns who offered their music for free in the internet on the early 2000s. Great music.
There are too many damn love songs. 75% of all music does not need to be about love, relationships, and breakups. I stopped listening to radio because all the damn love songs got annoying.
Can we please have more songs about literally anything else. Weed, flowers, rainy days, animal companions, construction work, types of cars, card games, anything. There’s more in life to sing about than just relationships and/or the lack of them!
Sincerely, A person whose sexuality is “No” and has no interest in that kind of relationship.
As a comedy music act, Ray Stevens should get into the Rock and Roll HoF before Weird AL Yankovic
Same for Gwar.
