What makes me like certian music?

Dylstew · 05-20-2014, 05:15 AM

I'm really starting to get confused about what music I like.
A lot of the times when I listen to new music(in studio albums), I don't dislike it, but it just doesn't do anything for me. For example, a pretty long time ago I listened to ''Damned Damned Damned'' By The Damned, and back than I didn't like it all that much. I didn't dislike it, but it did absolutely nothing for me . I thought ''why do people like this so much?''
But Now I put it on again and I'm like ''What was I thinking? This is great!''

I don't get it, what makes me like certian music?
Also, Whenever somone sends me a single song I also can't really judge. I need to listen to an album.
I noticed many times I start liking albums when I know the songs a bit, which means multiple listens. But finding out which ones are worth listening to again can be quite confusing.

And than there ARE some albums that I like immidietely, they're just a lot more rare. But it doesn't seem to have much to do with how much I'll end up liking it, it seems completely random.

It even happens when there's a band I love and I hear a simialar sounding band. There has even been some albums I hated at first and ended up liking, but I guess that's more of a ''it grew on me'' thing and doesn't have much to do with this.

Does somone have the same thing, or even an explenation to this phenominon?

Music from Certia is the best

If you're confused about what music you like, perhaps you're over intellectualising it? Just feel it.

Yeah. If you close your eyes and think about the intellectual process, you can probably feel a huge cock in your arse. Just stop raping yourself and enjoy music.

I have sorta the same problem, there's certain bands and albums that I just love so much, it will be the only thing I'll listen to for months. It drives me crazy because I sort of hate it, but I can't stop listening to it. Then anything else I try to get into that I normally used to like just doesn't interest me. Can't get outta the rut
