My best friend loves it so no hate but I just can't get into the whole indie, pop punk, folk sort of stuff--maybe sometimes folk is okay but only if it's made by rural poor people not suburban upper middle class kids. I guess I just don't like suburban whining ("nonono it's SUPPOSED to sound bad!"). Bright Eyes is okay.
There's a lot of stuff I have a very short patience for. Everyone around me right now listens to drill, I like NBA YB but other than that all the flows and lyrics of the scene are really repetitive and its soulfully exhausting. I have to be in a very bad spot or en route to terrible crimes to want to hear drill. Considering its made by killers for killers after generations of being corrupted under American culture that's not surprising.
I also just can't get into old school hip hop or rappity rap.
98% of anything that makes it to the Top 40 these days is just McDonald's music.
I really like some classical and want to get into it but everytime I explore outside of OSTs/modern classical and try to listen to Dimitrille Von Orgenspognan or whoever from centuries ago I find it unbelievably boring and, ironic to what its fans say, emotionless, I can see some stuff just being lost in translation across hundreds of years though.
I recommend The Pharcyde’s song Passin Me By for Old School Rap, it doesn’t come off as Sugar Hill Gang which was kinda cringe in retrospect. Shook Ones pt2 by Mobb Deep is awesome too but Idk if it’s THAT old
You’ve never jammed to Curtis Blow or Rapper’s Delight?
