music rule

Edit: I don't know what I was thinking when I made this post, all music is pretty good

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.
  
  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
  
  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.

ITT: people think pop music "fucking sucks"

- Beautiful.

You have to listen to garbage to find the gems.
- This

Or you can join Deezer and then when you're driving you can ask for whatever you want.
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.

I have my plate of good music and then a little pop on the side as a treat

one ma'am's trash music is another's treasure
YOU SPIN ME RIGHT ROUND BABY RIGHT ROUND

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 😂
- Yeah I agree with that lol I've been listening to Hobo Johnson and the Lovemakers, and that's pretty widely disliked
- Autechre counts, right? a more tame track if that's too much, a less tame track if it's too little.
- I would've said The Caretaker, but that last album really took off.
- Worm Quartet

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.

Why would I listen to music that fucking sucks?
- Music only sucks when I never want to listen to it.

I live for silly music made by trans people
- Ada Rook fucking rocks. Also I'm currently obsessed with Lauren Blousfield, though I'd call her music more "terrifying" than "silly".

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

I knew it dariacore is actually good for me.

Country sucks, newer stuff doubly so.
Honky Tonk Badonkadonk, what fucking cultural appropriation.

Primus, part of a nutritious breakfast

But what if you just don’t like music that sucks? It’s entirely reasonable.

Just begs to question: what do you consider "music"

you don't want to overdo it on sucky music though so it helps to setup your car speakers to go outside if you tend to overdue it on suckage.
