That... "thing".

Yet again I've come to hear that tone, note, oten, enot, musical "thing" that I get from a lot of my favorite songs, or songs I like in general.

On the contrary, sometimes there will be songs with a "thing" that make me hate it. It could be seen as a masterpiece, but I'd still hate it. Here's an example (not a masterpiece or anything, it's just a good example of a song I despise for nothing more than the feeling of it):

I don't know what it is. The lyrics, the instruments, the musicianship, etc. It means nothing to me. If I like the tone or feeling or "thing" I'll like it. If it doesn't, I won't. Or if it has something on the opposite end of the spectrum and actually has some "thing" I don't like.

I find that a lot of EDM is completely neutral, except for genres where a lot of atmosphere or some kind of feeling is put in. The two that come to mind are Trance and Progressive House. This is an example of Trance with that tone/feeling I hate:

One that I love:

It's a bit annoying to think that no matter how good a song is to other people, I could still hate it for some undefinable reason that's actually quite specific. I just don't have the slightest idea of what it is.

"Thing"s man. How do they work?
