What kind of music do you enjoy?

Post Reply New Topic

I like grunge and shoegaze, which guarantees that 99% of people my age won't share my musical interests. What do you guys like listening to?

I'm not interested in music. People look at me like I'm insane when I say that, but I just don't get the appeal.

Old German music from the 30s and 40s.

i cannot descrime múm's sound.

when it is being picked up my my brain, it is as me and my other half are curled, in a soft rosy interior bathed by gentle light, falling asleep as her scarf warms her neck as well as mine. we fuse into one lump as we become blind to the terrors of life.

I enjoy a little bit of everything, but my favorite genres are pop and rock (both classic and new)

Genre means nothing to me. I enjoy all music, so long as it's good.

But my favorite genre would have to be what has been called "Trip Hop" (Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky, Morcheeba). Not every song by these artists are a hit for me, but the sound itself is so under-appreciated and has much potential.

Lately I've been listening to a lot of ambient music.
I really like electronic music in general. I shouldn't get to focused on the genres I like because it doesn't say too much about my music taste, I think.

But... Crystal Castles, Grimes, Aphex Twin, Boards of Canada, Paramore, Florence + The Machine, Edvard Grieg is music I listen to.

May someone explain the appeal of Grimes other than she's a cute petite girl that has cool image.

I like a little bit of pretty much every genre of music out there. I think the music I hate most is senseless screaming music(ie. slipknot), where there is no discernible lyrics, just blood curling noise that is like jagged knives impaling my skull every time I hear it.

Electronic.

Specifically classic Trance a la '90s to 2005.

So, as trendy as electronic might be, it is usually the bass-heavy dubstep and house music is that's so popular, or (listening to it is a) Trap Music.

Dubstep and House are my second and third favorite sub-genres but I do not like them anywhere near as much as Trance.

I think most modern electronic is absolute cr*p, but it's what everyone who likes electronic listens to.

Ambient is good as well.

Second favorite is pop-rock, a la blink-182, sum-41, simple plan, etc.

it will be a very difficult thing for me to describe my appreciation of music, but i will try.

i see patterns in music, and that is what draws my interest. i like music that has more than a singe dimension of patterns, and i like complex structures that emanate from simple patterns that iterate music on a wider scale than just the current bar it is in.
i am a happy person essentially, and so i like tight and elaborate patterns that seem bright to me.
i have a sensation that approximates the sensation of color when i hear a closed loop of a very wide spanning iteration of a musical "journey".

i like major key progressions punctuated by brief minor declensions that recalibrate the loftiness so the major key unfolding expressions can relaunch.

i do not like emotional music because the notes do not paint a brilliant pattern in my mind. emotional music is deliberately played in a skewed and sloppy way that appeals to NT minds i guess, but to me, emotional music is an aimless flurry of sounds that i can not grip with my own creativity.

i do not like lyrics because i think poetry and music are not fundamentally dependent on each other, and the music suffers by each school of input having to modulate itself to fit the other.

to me, musical scores are like mathematics, but mathematics with personality and subjective consciousness infused within it.

i sometimes think of curious mathematical interludes, and try to iterate them in a simple way on the keyboard, and even though my talent for that is small, i can still see why mozart was so obsessed with it.

he had the mathematical imagination of "feelings" that he was able to directly translate to tonic structures, and that is what i find fascinating mainly about music.


like here is a very long simple musical idea (only one musical phrase) iterated in a way that perpetuates the lead up to the final note with many progressive patterns that contribute to the forward flow of of the musical sentence.

if likened to a pattern, the pattern would be this

I like rock and pop from the 70's and 80's, which my dad always has playing when I am riding in his truck.
Right now I am into listening to Pink Floyd.
But I like all kinds of music that has a pleasing tune.

I also enjoy British and some American rock from the Mid-60s.
