Musical 180s

Forward To Death · 02-24-2014, 03:02 PM

I've disliked metal and electronic music at one point or another, and there's not a lot of music I liked then that I dislike now. Even the artists I generally dislike, like Kid Rock or Limp Bizkit, had some good songs that I still listen to today.

I'm pretty open to most genres. but I just can't get into electronic music. Which is weird, because old video game music sounds fine to me.(Not that I would really sit down and listen to it, but it's nice in the background). I hope that someday I'll learn to appriciate some electronic music, it's a pretty broad genre. There must be something in there I like.

What do you people even mean by "electronic" music? Do you even realize how vast that genre is? Do you mean you simply don't enjoy music that uses synths and sounds made by a computer in general?

Yup, that's what I mean. synths(especially cheesy 80's synths) annoy me. except if they sound like hammond organs, you know, what they use in ska.
Music entirely made up of sounds made by a computer just doesn't do it for me somehow :c.

What about music made up of sounds made by a computer that also contain vocals? I mean, for example, do either of these songs do anything for you:

I'm sure you can tell both of these songs are vastly different. One is a pop song, the other is very downtempo and glitchy. Electronic music in general encompasses so much, I just don't know how someone could find no joy in any of it.

I agree with this statement. Maybe we can also apply it to the music of the first six decades of the twentieth century and see if you can do a little musical 180 of your own.

Oh please, try harder. There are more good electronic albums made in the 2000s alone than there are good albums in general from before 1955 or so.
