/mu/, how do you get someone to have better taste in music and a better palate for sound in general?
I love my boyfriend to death, but his taste is just so bad. We take turns on who gets to listen to music in the car/other situations and it drives me insane. He listens to artists that aren't known and have no notoriety. That isn't necessarily a bad thing all the time, but there's a reason most unknown artists are largely unknown. Going through his mp3 player, most of the groups are:
> Hammock
> Secede (Literally his fucking favorite holy shit it's terrible.)
> Shpongle
> Younger Brother
> Ott
> Ozric Tentacles
> Asura
> Sundial Aeon
> Vibrasphere
> Solar Fields
> Emancipator
> Koan
> Stellardrone
> Tycho
> Cygna
> Lemaitre
> Carbon Based Lifeforms
> Aphex Twin
> Bassnectar
> The Mollusk
> Unlimited Gravity
> Maybeshewill
> Cryptex
> Celldweller
> Jethro Tull
> Rush
> Alpha Data
> Gladkill
> Lemaitre
> Passion Pit
> The End Of The Ocean
> This Will Destroy You
> Frames
> Something labeled EitS
> ATB
> Plini
> Sithu Aye
> Liquid Stranger.
> And lastly, a shit load of classical music, mostly Dvorak, who I'd never heard of before, but sounds like a Slavic funeral procession.
This is really the tip of the iceberg, and I stopped because it was getting too long, but it's all like this. A shitload of terrible music from people you've never heard of. I've tried to get him to pick up good music through exposure. Asking him what he thinks of a song, or taking him to concerts, but it never sticks. He might, maybe, pick up a single song here or there, but no major shifts.
He uses on-board audio on his computer instead of a dedicated card. His headset and earbuds are a shitty Chinese brand. Yet he acts like he knows music and has decent/ok taste.
His music is like Valium for the soul. It's all essentially glorified elevator music. Every time it's his turn to play music I just want to die.
How can I improve his taste /mu/? Pic related. His Desktop Wallpaper.

Liquid Stranger is really good, the rest is forgettable festival music and pseudo-intellectual masturbation.
>>61276554
>womeme detected
Give him a crash course on Scaruffi's top albums and the plebe will slowly drain away
>>61276595
What kills me is how much forgettable shit he has. Like, he has easily 100+ gigs of music. Just why.
>>61276554
>a shit load of classical music
more of that
So what should he listen to
>>61276554
>mostly Dvorak, who I'd never heard of before
A true /mu/ patrician
>>61276554
really bad b8 m8
Who are all these artists? The only known name there is Aphex Twin, and taking him out I don't think I know more than two names there.
>>61276554
I'm sorry to hear that OP. Sounds like your bf is a backpambient faggot who strokes his chin/neckbeard while listening to his pseudo "deep" tripe. I suggest you break up with him.
now pls post feet
>>61276643
This
It's actually OP's pleb music library
>>61276643
> Implying almost any of that is any good.
>>61276554
This is a level 56 bait at least but because I've wasted the last 3 years of my life posting on an american music discussion forum (for music discussion) I can conclusively state that this post is a bait.
>>61276609
I had half these albums my freshman year of college. He'll stop listening to most of this tripe in a year or 2, and start collecting a more mature library.
>ITT: backpambient kiddies getting buttblasted and calling the OP 'b-b8'
Your bf does a shitload of drugs.
>>61276636
I dunno, how about something fucking normal for a change?
>>61276554
>mostly Dvorak, who I'd never heard of before
Maybe its you with shit taste then
>>61276658
That's not what I was trying to imply. The sheer idiocy and arrogance of trying to change someones music taste because one's own music taste is apparently better is enough of an indicator to call this post b8 but then again, /mu/ is autistic as fuck so there's the genuine possibility that this post is real. Whatever the case is, OP, you're either good at b8ing people, or you're genuinely retarded. In any case, more power to you.
>>61276697
What's normal music
i want to learn
are u dating my ex? congrats
>>61276554
Your taste is probably gay ass dadrock OP. If an artist being known is important to you at all then you're the most shit-tier of all plebs.
I would recommend proceeding to rape yourself, cunt.
this is a good thread to shit on psybient, i hate, or well i dont hate it but its bland and boring as fuck. generic shit. all acid and mushroomheads seem to enjoy it for some reason. sure its fine background music for a backpacker beach cafe in goa but other than that..
>>61276554
maybeshewill is cash as fuck, fuck yo couch
I don't even want U to be in London
i'm mad
nice bait
>>61276863
Of the artists mentioned, which are actually any good? Enlighten me.
>>61276554
>> Secede (Literally his fucking favorite holy shit it's terrible.)
Fuck you you have terrible taste 10/10 for making me this mad
>>61276554
Aphex twin and Jethro Tull are pretty good but also seem pretty shit if you're not into their respective genres. The rest though EUGHGHGHGHH. Rush especially.
>>61276878
I'm sorry, random noises, pretentiousness, and artsy album art don't make for good music.
>>61276874
Not him but: Secede, Dvordzjak, Ozrics, Solar Fields, Carbon based lifeforms, afx twin, this will destroy you
>essentially glorified elevator music
his IDM is entry level but it's not bad

Are you agreeing that those artists are actually glorified elevator music, or disagreeing? Trying to decide which ones to go try out.
As for the IDM, never really gotten into the genre before. What are good places to start?
>>61276947
>What are good places to start?
turn 360 degrees and walk away
>>61276947
I like them. My entry into that stuff was this
>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_Intelligence_%28series%29
which is as best as you can get for the old school stuff. Polygon Window == aphex twin by the way.
>>61276925
He does have that artist, but I've never heard him listen to it. Seems his favorite songs from that are "Puch" and "Pir" .
>>61276995
Wow I'd never even heard Puch thx.
What sort of music are you even into? Maybe you should just accept that some people like electronic music and don't like festival rock or whatever it is you actually like.
>>61276958
Couldn't you just say walk toward? Retard
