Getting older is realizing most music actually sucks

>>127348208 (OP)
im a 20+ year genre tourist that just turned 36 and within the last year i feel like i unlocked the keys to music. like it all came together and suddenly it all clicked and nothing filters me anymore

>>127348208 (OP)
Most of everything sucks, dumbass.

>>127348287
I'm just saying there's countless artists who get circlejerked here all the time and only a handful of them deserve it

>>127348314
None of them do, actually.

>>127348208 (OP)
I only have 9 albums I can truly call a 10/10, I can't even bother to check the album recs anymore, because 8 times out of 10 they suck, most music feels so mediocre. I don't get how someone can have 20 or more 10/10 albums, standards too low ?

>>127348634
Which albums?

especially music made by niggers for niggers

>>127348208 (OP)
I used to be really into finding obscure music only to realise most of it is forgettable

>>127351025
the truth is all the good shit goes mainstream eventually

The exact opposite is true. Getting older should mean broadening your horizons and learning to enjoy and appreciate an increasing variety of music. If you’re narrowing your tastes and hating more then you’re not growing, you are decaying.

>>127348208 (OP)
Most music is actually pretty good

>>127351055
After listening to about 15 thousand different artists and over 300k songs I can confidently say 99% of music is derivative and recycled. I got into music at a young age and tried to absorb as much of it as I possibly could. The truth is just that most artists are generic, and there’s no reason to explore as deeply once I got older.

You have to be gay. Decent enough taste though

What is music that is good

>>127348208 (OP)
You mother fuckers are so God damn jaded. Lower your standards unironically if you think music is dead and its all shit.

>>127351153
What is your favourite music

>>127348208 (OP)
Skill issue

>>127351030
Not true

>>127351076
Loosen the headband on your fedora, dude, it's cutting off the oxygen to your brain.

>>127351076
You’re not even an artist you’re just a consoomer faggot. People who make art appreciate even “derivative” art. Please develop a comprehensive plan to end your life

>>127351194
>>127351287
If my opinion triggers you… Sorry not sorry

>>127351304
You don’t have an opinion you’re just a hylic

>>127351420
at least I’m not some whiny faggot crying online

>>127351435

>>127351497
bitch ass nigga

>>127348634
Nigga, 9 is a lot too. I might be able to mention 3 or 4 max.

>>127351287
>I make art! who cares if it’s garbage
>im an INDIVIDUAL

>>127351588
Yes. Making garbage art is a million times more rewarding than being some kind of pretentious armchair critic who thinks “music is dead/dying/derivative” kek

>>127351604
Keep making garbage art that no one will ever care about lmao you can use it to prop yourself up

>>127348208 (OP)
Lol, sort of. You realize a lot of it is unremarkable, even if you fill some time listening to it. Probably a big part of why tastes become stagnant even among musicheads. The latest thing everyone is geeking out about is more often than not just some second rate repackaging of better music.

Embrace symphony and intellectual depth
Spur the soul, imagine fables to move
Yearn for meaning, ever unsatiated.

been seeing this used a lot recently. is this the hot new buzzword of the month that incels are going to drive into the ground?

>>127348208 (OP)

>>127348208 (OP)
I've always been open to give any musician of any genre a chance because I believe every artist must have something interesting to say. Though as I get older I'm getting lazier on checking the "new" things out, or any other recs for that matter.
I don't know how that bald fuck Fantano does it.

>>127352168
I'm sure getting paid millions helps

>>127352168
>because I believe every artist must have something interesting to say
Well, not so much Taylor Swift.

>>127352157
>every edgy teen ever

No it isn't, thats called depression and thats your own problem

>>127348208 (OP)
The most wisest take and is also true.

>not finding music to like this day and age
Could have been easier when there wasn't so much of it available: easier to get familiar with.

>>127348839
I can't believe the people I share this website with

>>127353460
If a song/album doesn't "click" after listening twice, it means that for you it's mediocre, there are so many other albums to listen, that it isn't worth trying.

>>127348839
I have like 6-7 9/10s never found a 10/10 full album
>The Used
No lol

>>127348208 (OP)
Getting older is actually realizing most music you thought was good actually sucks and most music you thought sucked is good.

>>127351030
Considering we're not at the end of time I'm gonna consider this claim both unfalsifiable and irrelevant

>>127348634
>I only have 9 albums I can truly call a 10/10

>https://www.albumoftheyear.org/user/andrasx/ratings/perfect/
those are 3 great albums...better picks than most, i salute

>>127356449
>>The Used
>No lol
lightning in a bottle...don't know how they managed to make a front to back perfect album given their limited skill-set, but motherfuckers did it

>>127356449
Dude, The Used debut album was mind-blowing amazing to me, I'm not going to pretend it wasn't, I've already listened to close to 300 full albums, and in part to somewhere close to 2000. I agree that their later albums were weak in comparison though, a 72-80. Btw, which albums are those 7 ?

>>127356489
Those 3 are amazing too : https://youtube.com/shorts/lf1xRz3nqls?si=iS82oFVEwfwzCjrJ , https://youtube.com/shorts/D8oRoU0qSdI?si=Z3KheZWEAHI0eSJ3 , https://youtube.com/shorts/XF6sGzTghGU?si=O7zLRf4jsRBtxuXj

>>127356613
>Those 3 are amazing too
some amazing songs on those three..but some god awful filler songs too

>>127356479
That’s cool but I don’t remember asking

>>127356647
The only "filler" on Ziggy is "it ain't easy", but it isn't a "bad" song, and the filler in The Wall are 1:30 long, more like an interlude between amazing songs (and you could just ignore) all Absolution songs are either amazing, or good. They are the closest thing to albums that contain only good songs IMHO.

>>127351607
Seethe hylic it’s all you can do

>>127356757
Go make some art for your mom to put up on the fridge, big boy

How do I learn drums so I can make music good again

2020 ruined my passion for music

Bill Clinton ruined radio

>>127353014
I was called every SJW buzzword in the book for saying I can't stand her in 2014....then everyone caught on

>>127348208 (OP)
A contrary sum falls to me. By the light of my own eye all our going is lovely going.

Getting older is realizing music isn't made for YOU but for kids in school to ostracize each other over...and then a decade goes by and those same people talk about how LOL WHAT WERE WE THINKING

Getting older is realizing money really is all that matters

>>127356489
I don't know how MCR manage to not make a single bad song, probably the worst one would be "Sunset Over Monroeville", even the fillers on DD are somewhat good.

>>127348208 (OP)
hi rick

>>127357050
>Sunset Over Monroeville
i was always a big Dawn of the Dead fan, so that one was always a favorite. might not be super captivating musically, but the lyrics slay

getting older is realising the boomers were right and The Beatles ARE the best band humanity's ever produced

>>127357446
>getting older is realising the boomers were right and The Beatles ARE the best band humanity's ever produced
yuck. boy band pop garbage

>>127348208 (OP)
I turn 34 in a month and I still find new music that I love all the time. It's insane how much good music there is. For all I know there could be a band/artist out there that could easily become my favorite and it's possible that I might never listen to them.

>>127357483

congrats on coming out!
