Good. One of us.

:laughing:

Fluffer.

If you mean literally everything, then you haven't been paying much attention.

But yeah, shame on me for liking harmonic interplay, a.k.a. a facet of music known for centuries to be pleasing to the human ear.

Someone's getting wise to the fact that they're a poseur. A unique taste is more refined than a walking cliche any day.

You're pretty much exactly what I'm talking about as the opposite tbh. I think you basically fell in love with punk and then nerded out on how to be a proper punk (with obvious post-punk elitism) and years later you're still filtering everything you hear, from music to politics, through that lens rather than forming real opinions of your own. There's no way a real human being who was in command of their own music taste would be like you.

So you're trying to say that I should try to not be like everyone else? I'm just being me, whatever that makes me compared to others.

Ja, you really break those misconceptions with the one funk artist that you listen to.

In what universe is post-punk and punk not generally quite immediate? It's one of the main virtues of both genres.

One of my main genres is all this "boring" singer-songwriter stuff that doesn't exactly jump out and grab you by the throat with powerful pop hooks, but it's definitely not 9 minute long complex and multi-layered fusion jazz exercises either.

To me, music is 95% about the "vibe". How it makes me feel. Immediacy or lack thereof is neither (despite what I said about punk) positive or negative. It's just a neutral qualifier.

Although I definitely love a good, shameless pop hook. There's a reason I love Lady Gaga <3

So what're your favourite ambient records?
