All music sucks
 

Regular rock: Sounds badass at first but It gets old quickly
Punk: Too simple, limited and repetetive
Metal:
Extreme punk/metal: Refuses to be catchy.
Jazz: Too much improv and the songs are too long.
Artsy Jazz: What the **** is even going on!?
Country: Too boring and straightforward
Indie: Too boring while being pretentious on top of it.
Electronic: I don't like the texture
Reggae/trad.ska: Way too limited, repetetive and straightforward
Post and art-punk: Too much minimalism and random bull****, Too many flangers.
Post-hardcore: The major bands are gold and everything else sucks anal balls and often isn't even the genre. You'd think they could at least be good at ripping off some of the most influential bands but people barely even attempt.
Alt rock: Becomes a lot more generic after a while than the name implies. Some are even Overproduced and some super boring with all this down beat bull**** that reminds me of indie rock.
Post-grunge: Kill me.
Funk: Too much based on repetition in the song itself, which a lot of post punk does too. Lots of songs that are too long.
Noise rock: too much in song repetition and minimalism and focus on texture/atmosphere, also refuse to write something memorable.
Emo/Screamo: Just depressing and overstays its welcome.
Blues: Lots of boring and repetetive stuff, or straightforward stuff.
Ragtime: Sounds cool at first then gets old.
Classical: Too long and complex.
Prog rock/metal: Forgets everything fun about rock and most of the time doesn't produce songs that interesting and instead just wanks technique. At least it's not pretentious, they actually have the technique.
Expirimental rock: Just because you expirimented doesn't mean every expiriment is worth sharing.
Ambient: Only nice as a soundtrack or when I want to sleep but it's just a texture/atmosphere and not a traditional song.
Various kinds of world music: anal beads
Pop music: Too overproduced, simple ,too much pandering, and lacks any kind of balls
Hip hop: Repetetive vocal style similar to extreme punk and metal but not as bad, too many samples and lame repetetive instrumentals, half of the artists just brag about themselves, albums that are too long.
Shoegaze: I got the picture after about 5 minutes.
Post-rock: I got the picture after about 5 minutes.
Mallpunk and scene kid bull****: Overproduced, cheesy annoying vocal delivery, too much pandering.
World music: So many to choose from none worth giving a damn about.

Then there's the bajillion artists who seem to refuse to write something with a memorable hook in fear of being like pop music, or randomly mish mash so many ideas together in one song nothing sinks in.

I was wrong all these years. There's not an overload in good music. Music actually sucks anal beads.








(Disclaimer, I'm just ****ing around many of these make no sense)






(I'm quite frustrated about finding new bands to fall in love with though)

You forgot classical.
I'll do it for you: old music made by dead people and kept alive by people who probably should be dead by now. Boring and the lyrics are crap. "Ode to ****ing joy?" Be original, man! And who the **** is Joy anyway? Mozart's sweet biatch?

For a second I thought Qwertyy wrote this thread.

What makes you say that.

Probably a combination of lips, larynx and tongue.

I added it later but couldn't come up with anything cause I never listen to it but this is really accurate as far as I know.

Didn't include noise cause it's noise. May as well listen to a school.

I saw the thread title and was like "Looks like I have to ban somebody". Then, I saw that it wasn't a new spammer but Dylstew and was like "Looks like I have to ban somebody".

But that wouldn't be fun for anybody else but me.

As I'm feeling really empty and like life is pointless but death is too scary lately, the amusement this post brought made my day.

I'm genuinely frustrated with finding good music that fits my mood and preferences music tho, no joke.

Surely as a mod, that's all that matters?

It really is. Now please devote your life to finding more music for me.

harder baby

Seriously, if you feel negative about not being able to find new things to enjoy, I think you're trying too hard to enjoy things. It doesn't necessarily happen right away. It sneaks up on you like an assassin.

So listen to lots of music, but be ok with the fact that most of it wont be your new favorite thing or even all that appealing to you. Then one day, you suddenly find yourself loving Peruvian folk music and Italian opera. Music works in mysterious ways.

Also just listen to your old favorites whenever you don't have the energy to deal with new things. Works great for me to cycle between new things and old favorites.

you oughtta try listening to more music you stupid bitch ass mother****ing **** bitch

I just hate music that's compromised of tones.

implying music exists

You're becoming jaded. Stop listening to music for a month. Like, just don't listen to a single thing for 30 days. Then come back to it.

sounds like ****

Maybe I should. But I don't have a life.

fify

Jazz is too jazzy

The truth

Watch movies.

And how do you feel about this awesome Vic Mensa song?

And modern classical is just random noise? :rofl::rofl:

This thread sucks :jailed:

All music is stupid, I critique food :banghead:

I think it's indeed the expectations that kill me. I love the current music I love so much I expect more Everytime I invest into an artist. Most investments ends up disappointing.

I completely understand this. Especially being a horrorcore fan.

When I was more your age, I also had relatively few favorites that stayed on top for years. Helloween, Ozzy, Megadeth, Metallica, No Doubt, Kylie... and that was about it. For a long time. Then, in my late 20's, I started expanding my tastes rapidly. These days I find a few new artists that blow my mind every year.

My theory is that you've got to lay some sort of groundwork first, where you just sort of learn to appreciate different kinds of things. Then you're going to be more open to the experiences you get. Some of the things I love today, I actually dismissed as boring years ago: Rickie Lee Jones, Carly Simon, Carole King... I had listened to all of them years ago and found they weren't my thing. Then I tried again earlier this year and... I love them!
So it seems that I just wasn't ready yet, back then.

Discover other forms of media, get a hobby. Leave music alone for awhile.

I already abandon the video games I buy way too much to game even less. Stories don't hold my attention for long, I often need to force myself and it's just not as fun as games and music, so I consume them occasionally. I have serveral hobbies, they just don't hold my interest because anything that costs effort is just not worth it. Really, Music is the easiest to consume of all and brings me the most joy, though I do have much more of an attachment to and appriciation of games for whatever reason, probably because I have actual opinions on them that aren't just ''This is really enjoyable'' and ''this bores me''. I still really really enjoy the music I already love btw. But everytime I look for new bands it all blurs together to annoying degrees and it makes me not want to listen to anything for that entire day. It feels awful and like you're oversaturated. Now I get why the masses don't look for artists on their own.

Do you read?

I hate reading, actually. Well, sort of. I mean, The Ace Attorney trilogy is one of my favourite series of ''games'', but in them It is only dialogue and small boxes of text at a time. I can't handle long blocks of text with tons of detailed descriptions and difficult words. It's hard to pay attention as it feels cluttered to my eyes and I keep reading and then I forget what I just read so I have to re-read it again and then I accidentally skip forwards and have to go back again and AH MY ATTENTION SPAN FOR READING IS AWFUL. Even if I love the story, I just hate the act of reading long blocks of text, it drains me. So I've been procrastinating trying an audiobook for years. Well, I did listen to the short story I have no Mouth and I Must Scream, that was nice.

The irony in this is that I love writing walls of text on video games. What makes it even more ironic is that my spelling and grammar is awful, yet I keep writing walls of text.

Could be dyslexia, but it's probably just that you need a good 2 weeks alone in a log cabin in the woods. Like writers do in movies. Just make sure it's not some creepy place with ghosts, monsters or killers lurking by the nearby lake.

That ought to get your brain to quiet down. I find that my own overuse of the internet ruins my attention span, but it really helps to stay away from screens for a day now and then. Even just half a day.

I don't think it's dyslexia, It just doesn't seem to mesh well with me.

Staying away from screens? Good idea but that's impossible I'd die :')

What about comic books? Or Graphic Novels, if you prefer. Do you watch TV?

I have serious trouble maintaining my attention span when reading books these days, so comics are the perfect solution. They're easier to read, have pretty pictures, and depending on what you're reading you can basically start or stop anywhere.

This is what I thought: minimal reading, action pictures, engaging (usually) storylines - like reading a book without (as Dylstew would see it) putting in all that effort.

I listen to audiobooks all the time. They turned out to be the perfect thing for my long ass commute.

A few years ago I tried that but it ended up being even worse than regular books. I couldn't maintain concentration for **** so I was constantly rewinding until I just gave up.

I think the thing about audiobooks is that it often depends (for me, anyway) on who's reading it. If you don't like the person's voice then it's hard to really enjoy the book. I must admit though, Kindle has revolutionised the way I read now, and allowed me to read more frequently. Waiting for a prescription down in the chemist, sat down and read a little more (well, re-read) of Dracula. Cool.


If it's an attention thing with Dylstew though, I doubt audiobooks will help, as you still need to be able to concentrate and follow what's being said.

The ideal solution, which Karen and I hit upon, is for me to read out the book. My rates are ten Euro an hour and all the biscuits I can eat, plus travel expenses and, if required, accommodation, though I can if necessary sleep under your bed...
