>implying this isn't all non-/mu/ music forums
Alright /mu/ I'm 100% not making this up, and I'm actually genuinely mad and hurt at this, but get a load of this.
I recently found out that a girl who I have been friends with since high school (we're in our mid 20s now) has been avoiding me for at least a year because I said I didn't like Mumford and Sons. She pretended to be very good friends with me, but it came out that she was secretly trying to remove me from her life because I said mumford and sons was a stupid band.
>>60549998
Did you not know that girls are in love with Mumford and Sons? You literally can't tell women anything objectively correct about shitty pop music
>>60549998
That's pretty hilarious 2bh fàm
>>60548323
>take this one degree further

Listening to MHTRTC in my car while giving my pleb friend a ride to college.
>OMG ANON JUST PUT THE RADIO THIS HAS NO RHYTHM.
>she puts some top 40 radio station
>David Guetta's Hey Mama starts playing
>Yeah that's much better.
>mfw
The "Pop music is better because it has cool rhythm" is one that i hear a lot.
>>60550221
>buying music
but even when i was a total normie plen i would usually just buy the whole album if it was cheaper than the couple of songs that i liked, how stupid can people be?

I wouldn't doubt it. If you're a big record label band, your main form of income would be syncing/licensing your song out to shows, ads, movies.
I imagine the scenario to be
4 decent musicians who've been in bands for 10-15 years but still below the pov line, have lost the passion for the craft because of bs industry
Guys get offered a break/no someone who gets em in
"haha bro fuck it lets just make the corniest pop song we can using all the latest trendy whoa oh choruses and marching feel etc it'll sell like hotcakes and we'll never have to play another shitty pub gig in our lives"
Band gets paid, record label gets paid, world suffers shite song for 6 months
>>60550311
hold the phone, like a WHAT?!
>>60550116
More likely that it was made for first-time (or honeymoon-period) party/festival/intoxicant participants that do hand heart gestures to each other.
Usually girls. Sad to see them being taken in by targeted tropes like that but guys have their own too - for every Coldplay lyric about sparkling shiny stars or diamonds there's an anti-establishment rant made by some tax-avoiding multi-millionaire that matches it for guys.
>>60550369
weren't you just complaining about people who respond to you with dumb meme posting?
>>60550270

Just to be clear, I was never an autist about these things, I just said I didn't like them.

>>60557560
Im in the same position. I;m in a band with someone who listens to nu metal while I'm trying to write post-punk songs. I don't know where to find people who are into decent music because everyone who plays a rock instrument is a fucking rockist pleb.
>>60558085

fäm don't respond or filter the cunt, he's a tripfag.
I think the single most irritating point of view I've ever encountered was a neo-hippy type on the entertainments committee when I was at university, whenever asked to express an opinion on the merits of a particular act (or whatever) he'd shrug and say "music is music" usually with "man" appended. I swear I nearly punched him for it on more than one occasion.
