Petty reasons to dislike music


Luxion

Recommended Posts

Read the title then come back to me. Back? Okay. What are yours?

To start off, I am not fond of albums that are just one long song or an album without the songs being broken into their stated parts, sometimes even albums that contain only a few songs of which all of them are very long will end up relegated to the Not Listened To Often pile. 

 

 

For example, if an album consists of two songs, both of which are 30 minutes, it turns me off liking it or putting it on. If that same album was those two songs broken down into smaller pieces, I would probably like it. It certainly affects how much doom metal I listen to, as well as others like DJ mixes tik tok music

 

 

There is a 30 minute song by Tesseract that I love, but it's broken into six pieces, so I don't mind it being long. But Yob, who have some songs over 25 minutes, I don't like listening to. Also Earth 2, which is technically one 70 minute song broken into 3 chunks, but 3 chunks still so large I find myself not listening to it. Among others.

 

 

It is irrational. I have no defence.

When you find a band and initially you like it and they're "your" little band and then suddenly they become massive - I think this happened with The Killers. I recall I quite like Florence and the Machine - and then a really chav girl in my office kept saying how she liked her. Suddenly I was less keen! Oh and when you first discover a band and you got their early EP, but by the time the album comes out they sound all polished. This happened with Yeah Yeah Yeahs in like 2002? Though they were still great! Oh and when I was younger you'd hear a few singles and buy the album and it turned out the album was completely different to the singles. So you heard the more "pop" hits and then after that it was completely different. Or when they get political!

Most of the time I can't find good enough reasons to dislike music... In my head it's all valid and the worst I can say is it's not to my personal taste...but There are a few pieces of music that I find I just hate on a fundamental level. If I hear "man I feel like a woman" by shania twain it actually makes me feel physically sick and I have to leave the room.

 

I have a few petty reasons at times for going off something...

I suppose there are some people I went off when they got to a point that my mother likes them. And I have distaste for the entire catalogue of Garth brooks because his face annoys me.

It's all extremely personal. Some "love" a certain music because their mom or dad "loved" it and played it all the time. Others hate it for exactly the same reason. Personal.

 

I don't like or dislike music because of how I have to purchase it. My opinion is based solely on listening. I like most all music, as long as it's performed and recorded well.

 

My least favorite music drones on and on, and probably was "performed" by layering tracks of synth sounds using software on a Mac. I'm also not especially fond of listening to a "singer" doing his best to cultivate throat cancer by screaming unintelligibly through an entire heavy metal song, even though the musicianship may be top-notch.

 

Still, there are plenty of 3DXers who enjoy both genres (and sub-genres, and sub-sub-genres) and I totally respect that. Just like I respect those who don't like the country tunes that Firey & I open our room to play twice a week. Some like no country. Others hate old country. Others hate the new stuff. It's all personal. I just keep adding what I think is good to my playlist, and those who keep coming back seem to like it.

1) Sometimes I can't help but see taste-in-music as some unconscious social or cultural game that we're playing...we seem to reject music (at least occasionally) based on the values and concepts it promotes, rather than simply whether or not the mere sounds themselves are pleasing...I don't know if that's petty or not, but it seems to not be about the music per se, but rather about ideology or morality or whatever...(e.g. I won't even give Justin Beiber a chance because of the cynical games that are being played behind the scenes, and how distasteful I find his whole persona...and who the hell is gonna give the Lost Prophets a chance? like 'yeah, the dude fucked a baby but who knows, might have some killer riffs')

 

2) There's something weird going on with our need to categorize things...and perhaps it makes it really easy to not engage things on their own terms and merits...(or at least I know that I occasionally do that)

 

3) yeah, I have trouble with longer music...is this a generational thing?

Omg, you'll probably get trouble with this kind of music, unfortunately, you miss something. just give you a try to listen well.
