Why do so many boring people think obscure stuff makes their taste or them interesting?
I'm getting so sick of le so Indie playlists with artists nobody has ever heard of that literally are just generic as fuck accoustic dust in the wind knockoffs
Why does this happen so much? How do people kid themselves into thinking unique because they listen to generic but obscure stuff, mu?
go back to listing to top 40 shit shit then
Just because you haven't heard of it doesn't mean it's bad, quit being a faggot
dubs
People get really excited when they discover there's a whole trove of unpopular but sometimes-decent music never to be heard by the mainstream, so they broadcast their hot new eclecticism like a songbird's mating call until they realize nobody cares
Obscurity is relative.
generic as fuck accoustic dust in the wind knockoffs sucks.

Neo-mu, I.e r/indieheads and tumblr.
Never said that if something is obscure its automatically bad. Reread the post, and dont project so hard next time.

Reread the post too
I'm saying that it us utterly pointless to find something that is obscure if its as utterly generic and ununique as top 40 yet people still do it

because this board is now full of edgelords of two types
type 1: obscure = good
type 2: obscure = bad
neither of these types know anything about music and regularly browse reddit

I think you need to listen to more music if people on here listing bands you don't know is a common occurrence. Maybe they're obscure for people who only listening to the radio but most stuff mentioned on here is really surface level for people with even a little bit of interest in music other than the radio.

Shit, I always forget to delete the link.
Good music is usually obscure rather than popular.
The average person is a fucking moron, and if something is popular that means it appealed to virtually millions of his fellow mental incompetents. Obviously not everything popular is bad or uncreative, but the majority is.
If a piece of art is good then chances are it will be too intelligent, attention-straining, and violently different from accepted formula of commercial music to ever earn much popular recognition. Obscurity doesn't mean the music has value, it just means it has a higher chance of possessing value.
