Shoot, it's been a year. How's your music taste changed since?
 

Yeah, it's been a year since I've signed up so it's a good time to reflect back on what has influenced me over that course.

As far as it goes for me. Nothing too out of the ordinary. There's nothing I listen to now that'd catch the 2014 version of me off guard.
Basically, I've expanded on what I already listen to with a few musical tangents but relatively the same within the rock and metal category. I did catch myself liking a few ambient soundtracks that gave me a pleasant calm feeling which I'm not used to, but nicely contrasts with what I usually listen to. I have a feeling I might want to start chasing that on this second half of 2015.

This is better than anything you've been listening to. Straight up.

STFU about Kesha Batty: no-one cares about your new pop obsesssion! :laughing:

I would have to say that, due to the usage of the "Love or Hate?" thread, I have listened to artistes and genres I would never have expected to, so from that point of view my musical tastes, or at least what I can now appreciate, have been very much widened. Witness my sudden interest in Frank Ocean, Woodkid, Camera Obscura and Chromatics, none of whom I knew anything about a few weeks ago.

How can you know you don't care if you've never even listened to her. Sounds like the old TH to me.

He never went away. If you check the back garden, just down there by the rose bush, where it's starting to smell a little, well, I'm not saying you'll find a dead body, but you'll find a dead body...

also, I don't care because you're boring me by constantly pushing her. I coulkd check her out but you'd just invalidate my opinion by saying "what the **** did you expect man? It's pop music!" So I won't. But it's getting tiresome seeing you bringing her into every argument and thread nearly.

I'm annoying people without even trying now?

There was this one Simpsons episode where a Kesha song played instead of the usual intro.
I literally almost threw up. I'm mostly apathetic to even the worst pop, but this was just...felt like sticking my ear up a dead hooker's diseased asshole.

Thats hardcore.

You mean this?





I didn't even know it existed till now. First time The Simpsons have been watchable in years.


That's what's so great about her. Her music is complete and utter trash. A goofy white chick fake rapping in auto-tune about getting drunk and going to clubs? I don't know why it took so long for someone to do it in the first place.

Well, we can at least agree on the Simpsons having been terrible for quite some time now.
As for Kesha, I guess I'm just to mother****in' classy for that ****.

This dude likes Ke$ha:



So, you're in good company.

Class is for bitches.

But... that's not Ke$ha.

BTW, I like that I've spammed the forum enough that even Plankton is spelling her name right.

No ****. If that dude likes her then you got it goin on. That's my only point.

If that dude likes Ke$ha, then the entire world has been converted to the the true faith.

I, for one, welcome our new overlord.

Glitter for all!

I mailed you some.

Sorry, man. I thought it was anthrax, so Homeland Security'll probably be busting down your door soon. Just FYI.

B... b... but it was all done out of love. I even saved it up from all the times I went to the ghetto strip clubs. So what if it had some stank on it. See? This is why you can't have nice things.

It hasn't changed at all.. I've just found many new artists.

Yes. You're now on autopilot.
One of Batty's favourite pastimes.
Now I know I wouldn't waste my time listening to it. I don't listen to music just to be cool or laugh at it.

Also, the true faith? Manowar are crushed! Joey is crying in the corner! Look what you've done, you bastard!!!

Fool. I love Ke$ha for most of the same reasons I love Manowar: completely addictive music combined with a hilariously idiotic yet charismatic persona. Though I honestly don't know whether I prefer Manowar's taking themselves seriously, or Ke$ha's self-awareness.

And I don't think anybody thinks I'm cool for listening to Ke$ha.

Are Manowar actually taking themselves 100% seriously?
I always thought there's at least some humour involved.

Did you watch Ke$ha on Conan?? I <3 her, idc about her music.

I can never be sure how much they're having fun, but they're definitively serious to a large extent -- or at least they're serious about people taking them seriously, even if they're secretly self-aware.

I'll track that **** down.

So mysterious. And manly. Rawwr.

Enjoy... http://teamcoco.com/video/ke$ha-musi...aWQiOjcxMzY0fQ

Righteous.

And how can you not love this?

I guess I'm way more into ambient music than I was before and I have more appreciation for sound design and textures than I did a year ago.

Well, now that Ke$ha has been brought up.

Nope me no like. Didn't like her when she was new and sure as hell don't like her now that she's old news.

I'm not judging you if you liking her though. If you like something, then keep liking it before you forget how to like it.

It's about wanting to sex her, not about the music.

This past year I feel like I finally fully embraced Disco and Europop. I expanded my interest in Powerviolence, early British Hardcore, and 70s R&B. And I began to explore NWBHM, Trival, and modern Cumbia for the first time.

well I for one dig kesha. nothing but the dfloor. batlord liking kesha is maybe his only redeeming quality

in terms of what ive listened to over the past year.. idk if anythings really changed much. lots of drone and ambient. maybe a little less metal (black mostly) than usual but still a good amount id say. could also be tht ive slowed new music listening this past year just out of real world stuff.
