My housemate replaced everything in me and my gf's sex playlist with MC Wyld Ryde and the Deaf Grapes' discog as some sort of joke. We normally put it on loudly just as a way to drown out the sex noises in the house so it was kind of a shock when the first thing i heard when hitting play was "TA KYON." I was so hard at that point though that i couldn't be assed just chucking on an XX album or something so we just fucked with DG songs playing in the background.

It's not that difficult to deal with these situations. Just have some house or edm playlist saved for your pleb friends (you can check your friends' spotifys for what kinda stuff they like) or just play something that's not some totally unaccessible experimental underground shite and you'll be fine. There's lots of non-radio and top 40 stuff that plebs can enjoy.
If they still complain, you can just call them plebs (except don't use that word) in a joking manner.

Hey buddy, there's no indication that the post that has the (You) quoted is actually that guy.

Normies will think you're a God if you have uncommon Trap remixes of popular songs.
I played the RJ Grime Halloween mix last year which is just an hour of slightly remixed hip-hop songs then played the Major Lazer workout mix at a party and some QTs asked me where I got them and had never heard of soundcloud. They were surprised music blogs were a thing. They thought iTunes was where all music comes from.

metallica is actually normie friendly though...
i-isnt it?
>>61020375
It is, depending on the normie.
Some of them have reached levels or normiehood they get triggered as soon as they hear loud electric guitars.
Why are plebs such plebs lads?

This is like some weird island music.
Fucking normies
>>61020375
Black album era is definitely
But this is Kill 'em All' era. 'The Four Horsemen' is a 7 minute song with raw production, several instrumental breaks and a vocalist screaming about war, death and Bible stories.

I don't think it all ties directly to skin color, but everything has an audience/demographic. Plus, people tend to vibe with what connects to their own experiences, and life experiences are tied to skin color in the states. Since you used coloUr, I take it you're not from here?

>>61021647
I see where you're coming from. Most of my college friends are Chinese/Japanese/Korean exchange students or other black people (like myself) so I really don't run into anything from that list when talking to them about music.

In any case this board is not made for your kind.
Normies have no reason to be here. Normies have neither the time to independent and sincerely delve into the realm of music, nor the intelligence to wade through its forests and enclaves and appreciate musical truths. You're blind, like children. Just posers.
Leave.

I'm never getting a gf but if any of you do and happen to have kids, don't coddle them. Spank, humiliate and neglect them. Rough public schools and mandatory football enrollment.
Our greatest generation came from hardship and depression era tough love.
ADD meds, psychiatrists, school counselors, empowerment books, endless encouragement and too many hugs ruined me. I was not equipped for the tough truths of the real world because I was treated as if everything I thought or said was groundbreaking and genius.
I'm mediocre and I should've stayed in school and got a respectable mediocre degree making mediocre money. Instead I chased bullshit dreams that I had no ability to doggedly pursue through hardship, or even the requisite talent to be pursuing in the first place.

Android.
First time that had ever happened, and it happened on one of the newer models. Like, my phone was a day old when that happened.
The full volume thing was probably because I was listening to some shit while doing homework at max volume and being the dumbass that I am, I forgot to lower it.
>>61024394
nope, not even close. ended up confessing how i felt about her over the same break and ended up getting absolutely rejected. i was expecting it (she's completely out of my league) and it sucked ass. but shit happens.
>>61024436
oh. i always lower it all the way in public, both the headphone volume and speaker volume, but i still fear itll just randomly start playing music.
