I’m not saying particular genres, we all have our less desired musical genres, I mean music in general.

When I was a child I was very confident to say that I hated music, all kinds, and my cousin used to say that was not possible.

Turns out he was right, and I only hated the teenage music my sister from the 90s used to listen to.

Secretly I enjoyed soundtracks and OSTs from several media, such as animes (digimon openings and battle themes for example) and some TV shows or even videogames.

Then my taste “evolved” and pretty much stayed at rock, heavy metal and alike.

So that little memory lane inspired me to ask about this.

    Bruh why anyone bothers with top 40 when you can find whatever the hell you want out of millions of artists on the internet. It’s not even overwhelming there’s tools that will pick out stuff for you based on criteria you choose. Really just need to find one or two less known artists you like and then from there look at other offerings from their labels, bands they tour with, etc. It all snowballs. So much great music to be found.

      Because people are under the false assumption that getting into music is a passive activity. It’s like saying food is boring because all they eat is microwave dinners… Actually it’s worse than that because hearing new music is FREE

      I don’t care if people only listen to top40 but to act like that’s the ONLY music out there is just stupid
