"what kind of music do you like user"

>a lot of music nowadays is crap
Turbo pleb detected. The shit you hear played over and over on the radio is 0.0001% of the body of music produced over the past few years.

Before you write off probably the greatest and most diverse art form in existence, maybe you should try looking at something other than the most surface level of surface level.

I understand where you're coming from
I don't really have a favorite type of music and don't listen to stuff that often

I mainly listen to audio of shows I'm fond of

>a child can be bought for a years worth of grain

No music is worth diving that deep for if you don't like music to begin with

I just say I dont listen to music to avoid having to explain a bunch of boring bullshit. Does Stacy really give two shits if I really like this hardcore band from Sweden?

>What kind of music do you like?
>I like some post-hardcore bands like Re--
>Oh, thats cool.

It's a shit question to ask by shitty, boring people.

I think it might be worth giving a shot. It's possible that there might not be something you like at all, but if there is then it's probably worth ten times over and it's not that difficult to find resources to get to know new kinds of music.

Though it possibly won't help you in conversations since if you blurt out something like "I like grindcore and screamo", then you won't look much better than you'd look now.

I refuse to believe someone would think that after watching Eraserhead, since it's mostly rather straightforward. It's just too much.

Faggot, just answer the fucking question, you are not gonna die.

>the greatest and most diverse art form in existence

you are welcome to post a song. usually i just sit in silence if i'm not playing something informative. if i'm focusing on writing or reading something, i prefer silence.

i guess the soundtrack on some games is OK. music never gave me good feelings. often it just reminds me that so many people are happy and I don't understand why

I get you OP. I like some music. But I don't /like/ "music"

I have a lot of songs that I love, over and over again, because they make me feel something, unlike the vast majority of songs available. I've got all kinds of music, soundtrack stuff, all sorts of rap, all sorts of rock, jazz, edm and other electronicas. But chances are if you put a song on I'll not know who the hell it is, and won't really care for it 99% of the time. I too like my music to have "logical" reasons why I like it: that's why I look at the entirety of the mood it's trying to give me, or listen to how well the sounds synchronize

Just find something that makes you feel. Listen to something with an open mind and with theatrical, bombastic Dionysian quality. You'll find some things. Some recs:

Twilight Zone - Golden Earring
La Caravane - Caravan Palace
Viva Las Vegas - Elvis
Lights Out (Delta Heavy Remix) - Zeds Dead
Cole World - J Cole
Coming From - DMX
Rasputin - Boney M
Engineer Says - Dr. Dog
Hell, listen to the fucking entirety of the Star Wars Cantina Band song. It's very well-put together

distorted pop music in my car radio. turn it .2 up so it's salt and peppery and distorted. it's funny to me because it's like you're corrupting the pop music by purposely making it shitty quality

You might like music with energetic qualities instead of brooding, pensive qualities. I'm trying to tell you techno might be your thing

You guys are all proving his point.

You're somehow personally offended that he doesn't enjoy music. Fucking WHY?

What difference does it make to you? You're not in his head, it's not like you're forced to share his experience. If he doesn't like music, that's all him. You have no part in it at all.

it's not meant to be a legitimate discussion you autist fag. it's meant to serve as a gateway topic that you both can jump off from and then talk about something that doesn't blow ass to discuss.
you probably never get passed the initial smalltalks so you never get to meaningful convos with anyone outside of your immediate family

>Sure is cold/hot isnt it?

No one gives a fuck.

the fact that i'm supposed to be displaying a certain behavior as determined from the art (in this case music) completely ruins the art for me. i hate comedy movies because you walk into the scenario on the predication that you are going to laugh, you are going to have fun. it fuckign sucks and ruins it

Some people enjoy listening to noise.

>No one gives a fuck.
no shit, and i also don't give a shit about the aspect of being polite to people. so what i do instead is try to fuck with them on a super subtle level that bugs them.
if im going to waste my time with some fag where we both don't give a shit, im at least going to enjoy myself wasting his time more than he wastes my time

when you listen to something like this, is it your activity or does this go on while you're doing other things? i started playing it and the noises were so distracting that i had to turn it off just to be able to type this

I'm not offended that he doesn't like music but I am offended at him being completely autistic about it. If you have any self-awareness you have to realize how idiotic it is to write off one of humanity's greatest achievements by judging it off of, as this man says, .0001 of what there is. It's fundamentally stupid and the sheer stupidity is what makes him retarded, not the fact that he doesn't like it.

I can tell you haven't actually listened to anything beyond maybe reddit-tier shit like Lustmord if you seriously think that's what dark ambient is. Why are you so pissed off over someone liking something you can't get into?

nah man im just another sadboy.

Dark ambient is pleasing to my ears. Why is that so hard to understand? I'm not pretentious about it at all

the only music I like is the sound of muffled... eh nevermind
sizzle sizzle that ass

>Why are you so pissed off over someone liking something you can't get into?
i can't get into it because it doesn't please me. it's inherently unable to please me because i'm not predisposed to enjoy it. i'm not predisposed to enjoy it because my parents have non double digit IQs and i was gifted with more free will than you, so i've become a critic and hate that which is horrible

It depends on the song and mood. An album opening like that is meant to grab your attention, but by the time you're halfway through the A-side and have a sandwich made, it's time to get in the groove and do some work.

If I like metalcore, post hardcore and hip hop what does that say to people?
Should I just say I like songs in all genres?

>He still doesn't understand that the usage of the semicolon has never been standardized due to a lack of agreement about its proper function

Look at that shitshow in the Usage section. And note that it critically says that examples of semicolon usage "include". They have to say that because there's no effective standard, so they can't round off the list.

I have no idea what to recommend to you, because even you don't seem to know what you want to listen to.
But "I haven't found any good music yet therefore I'll never find any" is just a lazy argument.
Here are a few good albums from different genres, from the past few years.
I also recommend the /mu/ essentials. Obviously you won't like everything there but it's a way to develop and refine your tastes.

link me to a legitimate linguist deconstruction of the topic, not some shitty fucking wikipedia article that is edited by the collective power of thousands of retards just like you

People get upset because disliking music is essentially saying "I am not human and my brain does not work correctly". You are hard-wired to enjoy pleasing noises, and thousands of years of civilization has brought you to the point where people have mathematically determined the rules of pleasant noises and now millions of people make different variations of those noises that release good chemicals in your brain, and you're telling people that you don't like any of that.

Your brain is literally broken, or you are trying extremely hard to pretend that it is

>one of humanity's greatest achievements
aren't inventions more important?
like, the car. or refrigerator. or electricity. or the cure for [insert dozens of diseases]?
maybe you can't imagine a life without music, but i at least make median income for my age group and i've never committed a crime. i never committed a crime against anyone, but how many people in prison listen to music? probably most.
i don't even see how you think music is the greatest achievement. art in the form of sculpture is more useful, as are drawings/paintings. for example, you could use them as a model to build things.
if every person spent 1 hour more each day listening to music, the world would probably not be a better place. i think less would happen.

it's a cultural thing, i think. it's simple and easy for people to share those emotions. especially women, which probably explains why they are so much more obsessed with music

Nobody with even half a brain has ever been satisfied with lowest-common denominator crap, which is exactly what you're describing.

Yeah I'm kind of like that. I think as people get older they realize music isn't important though, it's mostly teenagers who get buttblasted about it for some reason.

i match my mood to the music fag. if im doing cardio and my heart rate is 180bpm theres no way im listening to anything under 140bpm. flac non-stop eurobeat mixes when im running and anime trance shit when im cooling down.
i don't grow tired of the same shit music that i love, so i can listen to the same stuff for months on end before i have to evolve out of it and further refine myself, but im fine where i am now and i wouldnt have it any other way.

Totally agree with everything you've said so far my dude. It's funny that nobody is even trying to understand itt though.

Unless you are raised by wolves or in a forbidden-experiment box, if you reach the age of 20 without ever hearing any music you're really into...you will NEVER hear any music you'll be really into.

He doesn't have to embark on a quest to hear every note of every bullshit obscure genre you hipsters have fucking made up out of whole cloth before he concludes that he doesn't like music. People who have never found any enjoyment in simple foods are not going to find any value in being a gourmand. It doesn't work that way.

Just find one really obscure artist you can jive with and then when people as say ehh I don't listen to music that much but I really love X's second album or some bullshit and then you're golden lol

How is that what I'm describing? I'm describing all music. Everything that has ever been made was built off of everything that came before it. The greatest pieces of music known to man are available for you to listen to, but you refuse because shitty pop music is on the radio? What the fuck man, listen to some fucking Vivaldi or Chopin

Prisoners buy music playing devices from the commissary.

Have you tried using your obviously neurons-depraved brains for even a second before making this abhorrent post?

>especially women, which probably explains why they are so much more obsessed with music

Are they really? When it comes to music it seems like most other things where most women have just extremely shallow and non-interested stance where the knowledge of the topic merely serves as a means for other gains and the interest is not for the sake of the topic self, while the men seem to be actually into that topic and would've enjoyed it even if it didn't have any other ramifications for them.

Of course this is a complete blanket statement that, but still should serve as a general trend giver.

>people have mathematically determined the rules of pleasant noises and now millions of people make different variations of those noises that release good chemicals in your brain
By definition, it's not possible for every song to be a tight fit to every person. And since the goal is profit maximization, by definition, the aspect is lowest-common denominator-fit.
It wouldn't be rocket science if you weren't braindead.

I like music but i dont know enough about genres to answer the question properly, I dont even know what genre most of the music i listen to would be classified as

>mathematically determined the rules of pleasant noises
can you post a song that has been mathematically proven to be pleasing, ie to release pleasurable chemicals in the brain?

i can find joy and happiness in other things, i smile sometimes and laugh hysterically at others. i just don't see any reason to add music to my regular activities: like working, or even posting here. i'm trying some of the youtube songs people are posting but they just kind of get all in my brain and cloud my thinking. it's even worse than playing the rock-pop stuff on the radio on the way to work, the same 10 or so songs always play. i bet they use this 'formula' because they get stuck in my head sometimes and it's quite irritating actually, because it's usually just some chorus.

typically they sing about love or finding a gf, which for obvious reasons i don't particularly care to listen to that

most upbeat rock/pop:
>i'm so happy i got a gf
gloomy rock/pop:
>very unfortunate i lost my gf or somethin

rap/hip hop:
>fuck bitches get money sell crack
etc

i don't want to hear their words for the most part. background music is OK, but then i just tend to find myself turning the volume lower, lower, lower and then eventually off. it just happens.
unless i'm doing some physical activity that only requires bodily movements (like lifting) it's just some noise that gets in the way, seems like

Even more of a shitshow here.

I note with interest that one acceptable usage that is consistently mentioned is to separate two related clauses without using a coordinating conjunction. In other words - exactly the usage you criticized in your original post.

You criticized OP's usage incorrectly; I suppose you were confused.

Confusion is a common problem; it afflicts any posters of low IQ.

Semicolons are fun to use; even more so now that I know they annoy you.

You are obsessed with modern pop music so everything you see or hear is filtered through your obsession. When I described mathematics, I'm speaking of the work that went into the standardization of musical notation, and the determination of which frequencies sounded best together and how to produce said frequencies. How do you think violins came to be, you think someone just strung some strings together? No, it all has to be precisely made according to mathematics to produce the correct notes

But you're too busy crying that 14 year old girls like Kesha to appreciate any of that. Get your head out of your ass

>if you reach the age of 20 without ever hearing any music you're really into...you will NEVER hear any music you'll be really into.
This is the dumbest and most incorrect thing you've said so far.
It's very possible to, like OP, go your entire adolescence without caring significantly about developing taste in music. Same for taste in literature, interest in physical fitness, interest in history, interest in science, or whatever. Hell, you could hypothetically go into your 30s or beyond without venturing into any more interesting avenues of life, as many of the people on this board are probably familiar with.
Does that mean there's no chance that any such person can ever develop taste? No.
Does a person who insists on living such a lifestyle still have laughably poor taste? Yes.

You are not only projecting better than an epson Home Cinema 2040, your awful backpedaling attempt would be laughable if it weren't so sad to consider people like you actually exist.

All modern music (and when I say modern, think of the last 500 years or so) is built upon a base cultural understanding of things like harmonies, chords, dissonance, etc. This is all math. Frequencies sound good together or they don't. There is a mechanism inside of us that reacts in pre-programmed ways to certain sounds, and that knowledge has been refined and refined and refined over thousands of years. The first man wasn't popped into existence next to an already strung guitar. We had to figure this shit out. We literally spent millennia creating something that sounds good to us, and you're trying to pretend that you're above all of it.

This is not irony or insult: the inability to enjoy music is a sign of stunted emotional development. That is why people react the way they do towards you. The way you talk I doubt it's the only sign you have that something might be wrong with you.

Listen to rezz

most people in prison probably don't have a car though. i just fail to see how music is going to make anything better.

i feel like if i did like it, i would just listen to it rather than turn it off and stop it when it plays, in my solitude

why does nobody have to be pressured into fapping?
why don't people have to be told over and over to smoke tobacco?

they just do it, because it feels good to them

dude fuck off that it's math. music sounds like complete shit if it is played completely as written.
go listen to your aural beats, which are mathematically proven to get you high.

fucking idiot.

and math isn't objective either. numbers weren't discovered, they were made up. don't use a made up system of knowledge to explain music, retard

You legitimately think that I'M the person in this conversation who is pathetic? What exactly did I say to make you think that? I'm literally advocating for you to listen to 400 year old music and you're still trying to talk about shit that's on the radio. You are not even reading anything I'm saying. I could say any combination of words and you would have posted the exact same thing.

>music sounds like complete shit if it is played completely as written

You're right, you're a much better artist than Mozart, clearly he's just a fucking retard and you the 16-year old autist knows much more about music. You're probably doing so much with your life, being as insanely intelligent as you are, with your pseudo-philosophical bullshit about "we made up math"

We're not going to get anywhere, but its enough to say that taste in music is subjective and most people would prefer to listen to it occasionally that be deprived of it. The fact that prisoners, rapists, priests, philanthropists, whatever, listen to music is totally irrelevant.

I don't dislike music but I don't listen to it much mainly because I'm too lazy to find out what I like kek. Used to be a huge EDMfag a few years ago

None of those other things are as ubiquitous as music.

Music of a huge variety of genres literally surrounds us in a wide range of contexts. Go to the supermarket? Music piped over speakers. Go for a ride in a car? Music on the car radio. Go see a movie? Movie scores take up more of the total soundtrack than dialogue.

And it's not just pop music. Flipping channels on TV and you pass the intro segment of some PBS show? Nearly guaranteed to hear something Baroque. Going out to eat at a nice restaurant in an urban area? I'll bet you $100 they're playing some kind of jazz or ambient. Go out to a bar on St. Patrick's Day? Fuck you, get ready for some Clancy Brothers.

There's no way short of living with an undiscovered Amazon tribe that you can make it to the age of 20 and not hear and be able to recognize Vivaldi, Mozart and Bach. They're everywhere.

If you encounter all of this music over the course of your life and none of it speaks to you, you just plain old don't have it in you to respond to music. Finding some Scandinavian vagina chortler recording is not going to change that. The people who like really obscure shit *used to like* works of straightforward beauty that are well known; they sought out the obscure material to supplement what they had already discovered they liked.

>Frequencies sound good together or they don't.
can you give an example?

>you're trying to pretend that you're above all of it.
not really though, i just don't feel the desire to listen to music, over something else or even silence. right now i hear only the tapping on my keyboard

>We had to figure this shit out. We literally spent millennia creating something that sounds good to us
nah, humans didn't have to do anything. some people just decided to make music, independently of other populations. i can understand how it makes sense just as much as cheerleading, it brings the community together.
we don't have comparable communities anymore. in fact the entire community would be earth. you can live in the same apartment as other 3 people that all like completely different music.
in the past, humans didn't have the internet or anything. music was a community cultural activity and the 'musician' was a person in the same community that everyone knew. it's way different now. i am sure you would agree that millions, if not tens of millions of people in the same society as you don't enjoy the same music you do.
unless there's some song that's mathematically proven to be enjoyable to a human. i'd really like to hear it, if it exists

>the inability to enjoy music is a sign of stunted emotional development
in what way exactly? can you post a song that i should be able to enjoy?

>something might be wrong with you
like what though

>and math isn't objective either.

Back that polylogist nigger shit right up and take it out of here, you fucking s*o*y*b*o*y fuck

you completely misread faggot.
if you play music exactly as timed, as it is written, it sounds robotic and horrible. music requires an emotional fag to interpret and play it in an arbitrary manner for it to be successful.

and we did absolutely make up math. do you honestly think numbers just existed in the universe, and we happened to discover them? you don't think at all, for a second, that they were made as a way for us to better understand the world in terms of shared human senses?

you're really bad at emotions and since you think music can be mathematized, it would be perfectly reasonable from within your stupid ass worldview for movies, porn, and every other recreational activity to be reduced down to symbolic characters.
