Thread 126808672

If people weren't told what was officially good/relevant/meaningful with music criticism, and there was literally no way you could know what other people thought about pieces of music, what would be the ACTUAL popular shit?

>>126808672 (OP)
right now? or popular boomer music?

>>126808677
both.

would a white teenage girl with no outside influence like mumbling american/latino rap, or would she actually prefer ABBA, without fearing the social stigma that comes with knowing what the outside world thinks?

Go back.

Popular shit isn't popular because of music criticism. If critics didn't exist they'd still be popular because of industry shilling..

Yeah, the real question is what would be popular is music was just music (no image or anything) and nobody knew what anyone else liked. And yes, >>126808708 the answer is ABBA.

>>126808672 (OP)
Metal and hard rock became popular despite not being liked by critics

>>126808708
Not far off. My girlfriend (zoomer) was a shutin all her life and she likes corny 70s dance pop and new wave.

>>126810646
This.

Good question, I'm not sure the answer is knowable. Every genre has an image attached that makes people get into it or not (even if people won't admit it, it's unavoidable)
