And you'll get a Christmas version. Or a "live" version. Or a fucking obscure cover. Every time. And god help you if you ask for an artist rather than a track. Yeesh. One obscure track by the artist followed by random tracks from German rock bands and other total irrelevance.

In summary: I love Deezer.

You have to listen to garbage to find the gems.

none of my music sucks. if i listen to something and think its good then it is by all rights good and that is inarguable

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Good listenin' maybe, but not very nutritious. Like a trendy pop song you'll forget by next summer.

[–] rozwud@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I guess it depends on your definition of "good" and "sucks." Salt and vinegar kettle chips definitely aren't nutritious, but as far as my tastes go, they are fucking good and definitely don't suck.

Yeah I also enjoy things that I wouldn't recommend to everyone everywhen. I've given up on trying to label them good or bad, and instead asking, what're you looking for?

No, I’ll listen only to bangers

What's a band you love that is legit difficult for others?

I might submit Death Grips. I know no others irl who love them 😂

Autechre counts, right? a more tame track if that's too much, a less tame track if it's too little.

[–] Interstellar_1@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah I agree with that lol I've been listening to Hobo Johnson and the Lovemakers, and that's pretty widely disliked

I would've said The Caretaker, but that last album really took off.

Primus, part of a nutritious breakfast

There is a lot of good music out there, it's just not as likely to be in the Spotify or (insert service) recommends because that market is extremely rigged.

I find YouTube to be good but I've spent the last few years curating my recommendations by telling the service to stop suggesting me rage bait, reaction videos, shorts etc.

Spent my formative years in the punk/alt scene. So it was always frowned upon to venture outside of those genres. Then in my 20s I started allowing myself to enjoy all genres. Haven't looked(listened?) back since!

Same, except it was the local trve metal scene instead of punk. "If it ends in -core, I don't like" was a common thing to say, and anything pop/rap/hip-hop wasn't considered to be music at all. Even bigger metal acts, like Metallica, weren't popular because they had "sold out." The NWOBHM was all I lived for in the early 2010s.

[–] Cattypat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

got really tired of the "-core" haters, they seem to get upset only at the naming convention because hardcore influences often make a subgenre even heavier

like have you ever heard of mathcore?? that shits peak, its one of the noisiest subgenres i know AND it has hardcore influence

gatekeepers can stay mad

[–] LordAmplifier@pawb.social 2 points 2 months ago

It took me a while, but when I started getting into death metal, that's what paved the road to hardcore genres for me. And I'm so glad that happened because I would've missed out on so much great music, so many fun nights in the pit, and some really cool shows with, like, thirty people there.

Oh don't get me started on "Sell outs" I've always been very adjacent to the metal scene but had no idea that the same argument applied. I think what opened up my tastes more was when I got into synthwave/Electronica massively about 10 years ago and branched out from there.
