Edit: I don’t know what I was thinking when I made this post, all music is pretty good

Spent my formative years in the punk/alt scene. So it was always frowned upon to venture outside of those genres. Then in my 20s I started allowing myself to enjoy all genres. Haven’t looked(listened?) back since!

Same, except it was the local trve metal scene instead of punk. “If it ends in -core, I don’t like” was a common thing to say, and anything pop/rap/hip-hop wasn’t considered to be music at all. Even bigger metal acts, like Metallica, weren’t popular because they had “sold out.” The NWOBHM was all I lived for in the early 2010s.

got really tired of the “-core” haters, they seem to get upset only at the naming convention because hardcore influences often make a subgenre even heavier
like have you ever heard of mathcore?? that shits peak, its one of the noisiest subgenres i know AND it has hardcore influence
gatekeepers can stay mad

It took me a while, but when I started getting into death metal, that’s what paved the road to hardcore genres for me. And I’m so glad that happened because I would’ve missed out on so much great music, so many fun nights in the pit, and some really cool shows with, like, thirty people there.

Oh don’t get me started on “Sell outs” I’ve always been very adjacent to the metal scene but had no idea that the same argument applied. I think what opened up my tastes more was when I got into synthwave/Electronica massively about 10 years ago and branched out from there.

I don’t mean to hate on rap artists and their fans, but the second half of this meme hits home:

I have my plate of good music and then a little pop on the side as a treat

There is a lot of good music out there, it’s just not as likely to be in the Spotify or (insert service) recommends because that market is extremely rigged.
I find YouTube to be good but I’ve spent the last few years curating my recommendations by telling the service to stop suggesting me rage bait, reaction videos, shorts etc.

No, I’ll listen only to bangers

none of my music sucks. if i listen to something and think its good then it is by all rights good and that is inarguable
- grrgyle ( @grrgyle@slrpnk.net ) 3•1 month ago
Good listenin’ maybe, but not very nutritious. Like a trendy pop song you’ll forget by next summer.
- rozwud ( @rozwud@beehaw.org ) 2•1 month ago
I guess it depends on your definition of “good” and “sucks.” Salt and vinegar kettle chips definitely aren’t nutritious, but as far as my tastes go, they are fucking good and definitely don’t suck.
- grrgyle ( @grrgyle@slrpnk.net ) 2•1 month ago
Yeah I also enjoy things that I wouldn’t recommend to everyone everywhen. I’ve given up on trying to label them good or bad, and instead asking, what’re you looking for?

Country sucks, newer stuff doubly so.

Just begs to question: what do you consider “music”
- HubertManne ( @HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com ) 2•1 month ago
you don’t want to overdo it on sucky music though so it helps to setup your car speakers to go outside if you tend to overdue it on suckage.
- TheFriar ( @TheFriar@lemm.ee ) 2•1 month ago
But what if you just don’t like music that sucks? It’s entirely reasonable.
