In general, I don't like to talk much about music with anyone. Not because I hate music, but because it would usually end up like a "who's cooler than who" conversation. I think that people who start out conversations with, or even try to throw in the topic of, "Hey what kind of music do you like," come across as [Wow, my music's better than yours] type of thing. I don't want to be an ass, I don't want other people to be an ass(es). So I just avoid it. Also, I can listen to anything now a days and enjoy it. Really, I've grown to enjoy the work behind music and that's what I listen for now. I don't care about styles. I realized this at work the other day after it hit me that they play the same radio station over and over with "Oldies" and "Timeless Classics from the 60's and 70's". A few years ago I would have said, "Yo, fuck this shit." But now, I can just appreciate it like all other music. Which leads to me becoming bored, overall with music itself. Sure, I'll still enjoy listening to stuff, but it won't ever be as exciting as it was when I was really into it the past 5 or 6 years of my life. Fin. |

I can't get that feeling anymore lately. It'll come back I'm sure, but I'm just not feeling it. The Excitement of New Music.com |

i just listen to whatever fetches my interest, really... continually looking for new stuff as well, of course. not the most discerning and certainly not the least discerning, i still have my reservations that i'll probably never shed completely. thorough love for music, though. lately i've been enjoying califone and jolie holland a lot, even though i've been listening to them for a good while. there's something about those two right now that are just perfect. it's impossible to say what makes music appealing, or what music really IS anyway, in terms of defininiton. a lot of people seem to shut themselves in with a couple of genres and never really expand on that because they feel it's a safeground. it possibly has a lot to do with their social interaction and grouping as well. then there's the debate on where the line goes for what is music and what is sound experimentation/noise, and if there even is supposed to be a line drawn there... personally, i think so, but it's hard for me to classify. oh well, blabla, i'm uninteresting. music is great, it enhances my life! |

"electro hip hop and acid" brings a sound to my head of corrugated washing sounds with blubbery beats at 110 bpm. I kind of want to hear it. I mean to really hear what I have in my head. It's always better than what I end up making, ahaha! |

I got in a chat with a guy cause i wore an IDM t shirt the other day, and at first i thought cool, I dont talk about this much these days, but he proceeded to tell me lots of facts about aphex twin that 1. i knew and 2. knew to be false, , and he very much tried to make himself feel cool, and it wasnt a good conversation at all. so youre right, it is a poor topic of conversation unless by chance you have a lot to talk about, and even then maybe not. I think i like a wide range of music, what really turns me off music is when its so scene based that you feel you cant enjoy it without somehow subscribing to the ideals of it. my friend bought a Kiss sweatband the other day and the guy at the shop tried to talk to him about kiss but it transpired that my friend knows maybe 4 or 5 Kiss songs, and he thought it was odd that he was expected to be a kiss fan. this irritated me, that people actually take namedropping or fashions associated with a music scene more than actually enjoying the music, but anyway staz and swift did an interesting garbled rant so heres mine |

I definitely don't avoid talking about music, it's the best way to find out about new stuff. And exchange of opinion is good. There are lots of people that are just genuinely interested in the music and not just namedropping. Though of course there are a lot of egoists with not much of substance to say about the music. Really, I've grown to enjoy the work behind music and that's what I listen for now. I don't care about styles Unless you mean something else, I differ again here. I like learning about the styles and their roots and the people that pioneered them. And the people and other styles that inspired the pioneers. Music for me is more than just enjoyment of sound, I like the whole mythos and history and everything. Which is why I'll never avoid talking about it, people have interesting things to say beyond arbitrary lists. |

right now i'm listening to bad religion - suffer. it's a fucking amazing album. props. |

Suffer, that helped me thru a lot of rough highschool years. What usually bugs me is when people start to hate on music that they previously loved. Im not saying that its bad to stop listening to it, but dont be disrespectful regardless of how bad it sounds to you now. At one point in time this music was a part of your life, and meant something to you. so dont go and cheapen your roots or anyone elses who happens to be musically where you were a few years ago. Its like that old smiths song rubber ring "But dont forget the songs That made you cry And the songs that saved your life Yes, youre older now And youre a clever swine But they were the only ones who ever stood by you" |

i don't usually talk about music when it goes in that direction..i mean, i try not to talk about music with people who only know music mtv gives them. i don't care about styles either. if it's good i'll listen to it..i started listening quite different in a way. i think i 'understand' music in a different way than before..i think it has to do with me reading about music in general much more. before i would more or less just listen, which was nice but i was definitelly missing out on stuff. |

of course its a poor topic of conversation, it's in the same memetic class as religion. You fools are so caught up in the human illusion you dont see musics true form as a sort of parasite taxing and wasting your brains resources for the musics own selfish replication. some things happen to have properties that entertain brains in the fertile neurosphere more than others. Some of the worst ones now are internet humor things replicated through email/myspace etc (funny flash/youtubes/etc). the people who replicate these basically have a mental disease. The best way to stay mentally healthy is to only think about poop since it is the only thought hard wired to brains and therefore natural 2 think about, never listen to music and never eat tacos |
