Worst type of music listener?
My vote goes to the girl who copies her boyfriend's music taste completely and passes it off as her own.
My vote goes to the /mu/tant who just downloaded the essentials and thinks he is patrician and better than his ''normie'' friends because he swapped Billboard for Pitchfork.
>tfw my girlfriend doesnt follow my taste despite lots of similarities, I listen to loads of /mu/ shit and she loves indie math rock like Girlfriends, Jank, americ anfootball, shit like that
She has great taste
>>65136789
This is best kind of girlfriend, my previous GF was like that - our tastes complimented each other
>>65136789
Americ anmeatball is pretty /mu/ core.
Glad your gf has good taste though anon.

"I don't know what they're called, I just like this song"
The people who download their music through youtube converters to like 128kps. Then they don't even bother to change the title or artists name for the track so it shows up on their phones as:
>thomas rhett - die a happy man w/ lyrics [HD AUDIO 1080p!!!!!]
garbage song, btw.
>>65136913
Bro-country ruined my life
:^((((
sadboys who derive their entire personality through the shitty bands they like
>>65136940
even worse are the people who criticize the music you listen to because it's "scary" or "disturbing" or "just some hobo rapping over a bunch of noise".
Yet they listen to florida georgia line
>tfw girl I like is into dadrock and dadrock only
>>65137074
I'd also make fun of my friends if they listened to death grips
My mate who still basically exclusively listens to Fall Out Boy and Panic at the Disco.
>>65137074
lol /mu/ isn't your friend man
>>65136572
The people who ONLY listen to "metal".
And when I say ONLY "metal", I mean LITERALLY NOTHING but that.
The only bands they listen to will be:
Metallica, Sabaton, Slipknot, AC/DC, Iron Maiden and that's about it off the top of my head.
They disregard EVERY other type of music.
EVERY
SINGLE
ONE
The way my girlfriend listens to music, she'll start talking about a band that she started to listen to and how she really likes it and then I check her last.fm and it's just 1 or 2 songs from said band repeated a number of times. I wish she would listen to albums.
>>65137726
Also this.
One genre ponies and people who claim to be super into a genre, but can only list the basic starter-pack tier bands involved.
IE:
>Metal: Metallica, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath
>Hip-Hop: Kanye, 2Pac, Eminem
>Electronic: Deadmau5, Skrillex, Bass Nectar
>Prog: Pink Floyd, Yes, Asia
>Post-Rock: Godspeed, Explosions In The Sky, Mogwai
Either that or stoners who only listen to Wiz Khalifa or Bob Marley. They are always those faggots that wear "KUSH" snapbacks, week leaf shirts, and can't speak without reminding everyone in the room they smoke.
Stoners with somewhat good taste in music have always been some of the coolest people I know, however, and usually are willing to try anything.
>>65136913
Fucking this, I'd rather listen to farts through a tin-can than listen to music from youtube.
>>65136913
I used to do this, put it on my psp kek
good times
like my comment if the watchmojo top 10 weirdest music genres brought you here!
The worst type of music listeners are never talked about here, and it's the people who listen to music from their phone speakers. Ultimate cringe
>>65136572
People who enjoy the music they listen to
>>65136572
>the girl who copies her boyfriend's music taste completely and passes it off as her own.
That's every girl with a boyfriend.
>if it's not on spotify, it doesn't exist
Somehow they just can't wrap their heads around wanting to run shit locally and not being restricted by limited libraries.
>>65138294
and if she doesn't have a boyfriend it's just her brother instead
>TFW I went on a date with the hottest girl last week.
All she listens to is radio play shit.
Why so hard to find hot gf with good taste /mu/?
People who like anything nerdy. I'll admit there is some good nerd rock out there like Weezer and Cake, but I'm talking about real cringey, horrible, holy fuck how did this even come about music.
Like Steam Powered Giraffe:

Those who claim to listen "classical music" based on a Youtube playlist, but they can't name a single aria, identify a movement or quotate Köchel and BVW catalogues properly.
>>65138367
Yeah this, like classical violin over eurotrance. Legit had a friend of mine from uni pull that up on youtube when we were carpooling to class one day. We didn't let her put music on after that (not in like a "you can't do it anymore because your taste is shit" kinda way, just like a "let's just listen to the radio" kinda way).
>>65138367
I like math rock, but yeah... that band is straight-up wankcore with no actual song structure.
>>65138367
This, very much this
Jesus, I hate steam powered giraffe. I have a shit ton of "friends" that are very tumblr or sjw (not my favorite people, but the occasional semi-decent conversation) and they all obsess over SPG. But everything about them makes me cringe
>>65138441

>>65138451
I'd like to add that her boyfriend once said that he was into real UK dub step and quoted Mt Eden as being his favourite. Both lovely people, just shocking taste
>>65138367
What the fuck did I just watch?
>>65137726
this is embarassing as fuck, I'm sure they would never listen to an album either.
>>65138450

>>65138316
>sister dismisses her boyfriends music and especially my music in favor of tumblr-core indie shit
Don't know, m8.
>>65138316
i've never seen this happen. it's always (in order):
MAXIMUM EFFECTIVITY:
1. Crush
2. Brand New Boyfriend
MEDIUM EFFECTIVITY
3. Tumblr/fashionable shit
4. The stuff her current boyfriend used to listen to that finally rubbed off
LOW BUT STILL EFFECTIVE
5. If her dad is cool, her dad
6. "oh i went to a really cool venue once and this was playing"
this is of course barring normal radio stuff which is unavoidable
"I only like technical/prog/djent"
"This music isn't politically aware"
"fuck liberal music, why isn't it just preaching varg vikernes quotes to me"
"this music isn't alpha enough"
>friend constantly dismiss the concept of genres and state that they just like "good music"
>>65136905
This
>>65136572
nobody does this the fuck are you talking about?
>>65138367
They don't sound half bad but holy fuck their gimmick is terrible.
Ghost doesn't even try this hard
>>65138035
white stoners who listen solely to bob marley when high is definitely a thing, it IS good music though thankfully.

>go over to friends house
>shows me every single ylvis video
People who openly lamented Lemmy but didn't give a shit about Bowie.
>>65138696
in general people who obsessively bring politics into music are fucking annoying, left or right
>>65138696
yeah, nobody likes the racist faggot who only listens to /metal/
why do you think he always gets stabbed at every show?
>>65137096
Her dad taught her well
>>65138877
yeah I agree.
>>65138812
nope lol, genuinely don't know anybody who does this. most girls with boyfriends just go along liking the same music they usually like unless they're also interested in music. plenty of girls aren't even into music but are into literature for example and yet their boyfriends don't become book nerds. people just have their interests in general, and it's often not music.
>>65138874
What if i think both fucking sucks?
RYM posers who listen to the same avant shit they don't understand as other RYM posers yet think they're unique
>>65138937
then be thankful you'll never know this feel
>>65136572
Women
>people who put on top 40 radio on loud speakers when they want to listen to music
>>65138485
fuck you
motherfuckers who get all their music taste from this website instead of trying to find music by their own goddamn means
people who don't think this is AOTY
>>65139161
I pick and choose. It's a music board stop being a whiny little bitch.
I listened to Rap and Post-Hardcore exclusively before I came here. Now it's probably even worse.
Actually, the worst type of music listener are the ones who ask you to put on something but then immediately dismiss it and put on their shit before your stuff is done.
Doesn't even matter if yours was legit shit and theirs was much better, it's insanely rude.
>>65136572
People that judge you as a personality because of the music you listen to and assume they are smarter because they listen to obscure garage door noises
>>65139161
Yet they never listen to recs. What gives?
If we just make a /mu/core chart of completely randomly chosen tracks and spread it around, will they get memed to hell too?
>>65139241
>I.E some of my friends are like this
>TFW all they listen to is shit like Oasis
>>65139310
>put album
>push play
>at the exact same moment they jank the aux cord and put daftpunk
>>65139238
you should get out more man
>>65139291
if you made the list and then just asserted it with confidence like it was allready some hype shit around here before you made it would probably work
>>65139350
>Put on The Smiths thinking people would like it
>One minute into the song guy pulls the aux cord and plays Downtown trying to start a sing-along

Fuck you Mark The Smiths are great

getting recs from here fits your qualification of finding music by their own means, though.

This is very likely tied to the reason why you have no friends.
>>65139640
What a genius insight I would never have thought of that on my own.
>>65139291
basically what im telling you is that if you took the time to invent the future of this board you could pretty easily manifest it and i think you should
>>65139727
Well, I did manage to make people appreciate Going Blank Again, at least. Took a couple years of samefagging though.
>>65139534
every fucking time
i've learned to ignore it
>>65139853
its just a matter of how you assert it you dont really have to samefag just show it to them not in a position of like you trying to sell them something but from a position of you like giving them something badass that you only would even think of giving but too the privileged few and they will just eat it up see troutmask replica

ironically asking me why I'm gay is one of the most common things I hear from her.
>>65138294
I just had one boyfriend long ago, I influenced a lot his taste in music (my taste was kinda shitty but his taste was way worse). I don't have brothers and my dad taste is shitty as well. I don't have a crush either and never had interest in using tumblr.
Generalizations are the worst, m8. This stupid "woman can't appreciate music like man" meme have to stop.
>>65139149
you are welcome
>>65140202
What is funny about Bjork's voice exactly?
>>65140202
why r u gay tho
>>65140202

You deserve it.
>>65136618
That's definitely me now, any advice on how I can branch out onto my own?
>>65140202
>like bitch don't take my fucking phone and I don't want aids from everyones earwax
You're not funny and you should stop trying to be.
>>65140268
Listen to more music. There's really no "trick" to it, you just have to branch out on your own.
>>65140268
Don't just look at /mu/.
>>6514028
>>65140300
Alright, thank you
What about the one that listens to what he likes rather someone says he has bad taste or not?
That would be me BTW
people who brag about their taste on 4chan and think that theres a competition to have the best most developed taste
i hate the concept of taste in general
Pop cultists. The people who literally worship a specific pop star. The people who see these stars lives as so inherently interesting that any autobiographical album is a GOTY for them. The people who call Beyonce "Queen Bey" and refer to Kylie Minogue by her first name only.
>>65140343
You have shit taste.
>>65140379
This isn't the site for you, then.
>>65140343
Your playlist suggests that you discovered all your favorite bands at the age of 14, and haven't discovered anything new since then.
>>65140388
Did we not already cover this I listen to what I like I dont give a shit what you think
>>65140411
i barely come here now, you're right
>>65140268
Keep up with new releases and continue to browse /mu/. Despite all the memes and shit posting gets posted here, once in a while you'll find some obscure album that'll blow your mind.
>>65140411
lmaoing at you
>>65140268
listen to whatever you discovered and like and look for similar artists and I mean not asking /mu/ "moar liek dis"
>>65140426
Just trying to help you along.
>>65140379
>>65140426
have you chopped it yet
>>65140418
Because everything I hear now makes my ears bleed or the lyrics are so simplistic it makes me laugh at how sad it is
>>65140420
This is a defense mechanism because you know your taste is shit.
>>65140477
Nah I really don't give a shit
>>65140268
/mu/ is ok, ive found some favorites from here in share threads and such. however one thing that has found me some amazing artists is making online friends that have similar taste to me and then them giving me recs.
>>65140497
The fact that you have to get the last word in just confirms it.
>>65140268
keep listening to releases until you start pegging down some sounds you like (some artists, genres, movements, periods, scenes, etc) and then follow them.
go on sharethreads and download everything that fits your palate (according to the criteria mentioned above) plus every once in a while go for something you've never tried before.
pursue your new musical taste outside of mu
become a part of your local music scene or at least go to concerts (festivals dont really work for this one) and talk to other people after the show
just i dont know man, make music a bigger part of your life
>>65140459
>2016
>only listening to music with lyrics
>>65140526
that means that the fact that you replied to him confirms that your taste is shit by your own fucking logic
>>65140264
I don't get it either. The most complex vocals I think she's ever heard is Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston. She also thought Bjork was Asian.
>>65140284
Never tried to be funny, I just don't want other people's earwax on my IEMs.
>>65140267

>>65140265
honestly looking back on my childhood I don't know how I could've ended up straight
>>65140343
it shows
>>65140526
holy mother of irony
>>65140631
I'm not talking about my taste, though. I'm insulting his.
>>65140627
Yes I want my music to amp me up or cause me to relax and lyrics are essential to that. That and I am weirdly specific with what artists I listen to
>>65140670
holy shit this dude
>>65140697
So what you're saying is that you have shit taste as well. That's what I'm getting, anyway.
>>65140683
you're confining yourself by seeking emotional highs with music, but to each their own I guess.
>weirdly specific
sounds like you just need to get out of your musical comfort zone.
>>65140933
I would if people would be willing to make recommendations but when I ask they either get mad or suggest nutural milk hotel and I do not like them
>>65136913
I used to do this, then I realized it was easier to download zip files of entire albums
:^)
>>65138987
the trademark mole on Lemmy is missing
>>65140992
don't sweat the memes and shitposting. start branching out from what you already like, look at last.fm similar artists, and download highly acclaimed albums that might not be up your ally. just start probing, and have fun with it.
>>65136572
Every girl I've dated has done this.
>>65141307

>>65136572
I've never had a gf, but one (in fact the only) girl who had a crush on me started to listen to pretty much every band/artist I liked

People who listen exclusively to pop-punk, post-grunge and nu-metal. Generally some of the most shallow, white neckbeardy manchildren I've ever encountered. They're the worst because they have a massively misplaced sense of superiority about their incredibly narrow music taste. The kind whose musical knowledge starts with Korn and ends with MCR and then they just haven't matured a day since 2005
>>65138450
Listening to classical music on youtube is still listening to classical music. Get off your high horse you pretentious cocksucker.

My vote goes to people that think you can own a music taste, and doesn't realize that all music taste comes from hearing music and enjoying it, and whether they first heard it through the radio, internet, friends, or lovers, it makes no difference.

How would one analyze their taste? One pattern I've noticed is I really enjoy songs with strong vocal harmonies. I also enjoy songs that sway from heavier verses to lighter choruses.
>>65141307
I was like this, until I started listening to noise, concrete and such.
>>65144976
Just being able to explain why you like it and why it's good
