What are some of your "warning sign" bands? - When you hear someone says they like X band then it's time to ask for the check.

>Women who listen to Joanna Newsom
likes cottegecore but never actually worked in the dirt a day in her life, pseudointellectual and hardcore feminist

>Men who listen to Joanna Newsom
likes the girl who likes cottegecore, pseudointellectual and constantly talks about how ashamed he is about being a man

>Woman who listens to Lemon Demon
hates herself, hates her dad, thinks shes le epic quirky, probably tried making "scene-core" happen last week but got bored quickly, has BPD and wishes she was gay even tho she's not

>Man who listens to Lemon Demon
50% change to be a fairly normal guy, 50% chance to be a weird mega autist who cannot communicate, its a fucking coinflip
check his pants tho he might have a vagina

>Woman who listens to Melanie Martinez
was either sexually abused, or wishes she was sexually abused. gets a new trauma every week and makes those weird tumblr edits where they put a buncha filters on a picture of hello kitty with a knife and a crack pipe and some distorted text about not being good enough

>Man who listens to Melanie Martinez
hes lying for pussy

t. all of these are guilty pleasures of mine and i had the misfortune of meeting their fans

 

[IDanceonTrannyGraves]

Entombed and Edge of Sanity are excellent death metal bands and I will not hear otherwise.

 

[TVB]

Beach House, Weyes Blood, Animal Collective and Still Corners are great, but each individual fanbase are nothing more than complete hipsters that go on shit like Letterboxd.

 

[Calandrino]

You know what, I never thought I'd see such appalling prejudice and bigotry on these forums. I'd rather spend a month at a juggalo convention than have to listen to Captain Douchey McJudge explain how the wrong thing coming out of your earbuds proves you're such and such type of whoever.

need to have their hearing checked or has a fetish for hearing nails being dragged across a chalkboard

• Rap music of any kind after the 90s.
• Korn and any vocalist that sings in that rapey whispering-that’s-not-quiet fashion that’s either too breathy or otherwise nasally.
• Anyone that claims to listen to ANY BAND that can’t name more than one song.
• Mayhem: yes some of the music is fun, but if you tell me you listen to them but I never hear it when I’m with you. You a poser and you don’t look cool.
• Taylor Swift for obvious reasons.
• Country, not to be confused with folk music.

It’s all about maturity and base IQ, yes your music says a lot about you; not about how you feel necessarily, but what you can feel and how you process (important distinctions)

I will come in defense of ICP in one regard. If you appreciate them in the sense of, you know it’s shit music but it still makes you laugh, then it’s alright.

Same with the odd shit nigger rap, if the lyrics are funny enough and it gets you chuckling, you alright wit me.

Side note: what constitutes “listening” to a band in this thread. Since if you only like 3 songs from [insert band] even if it’s a degen band, I don’t think that’s necessarily worthy of a red flag

 

[FailurePersonifiedV2]

you're just a bitter boomer

If you’re going to bait, at least make sense. Mentioned anything after 90s, most boomers don’t even like the 70s-80s shit.

You have put 0 effort into finding good country of any kind, I'll put you on the most surface level shit.

No, I have put in the time, and I don’t like it; tastes are different. I like folk because it requires some talent. To clarify, country as in when the genre was defined and entered into common nomenclature; so Henry Ford and the like isn’t included.

Lilith fair legbeards of yesteryear who screeched endlessly about men t

Tori Amos refused to do the Lillith Fair because she likes men. She gave some spiel about needing to be around male energy or something, but basically it was pretty clear she didn't want to be around a bunch of angry dykes. The girls who like her are cringe, but that was like a JK Rowling thing at the time.

The legbeards literally booed the founder of the fair for announcing her husband, who was in her band. It was fucking cringe.

I don't really like anyone whose personality is about their music, but Rage Against The Machine always triggered me. The lead faggot is literally a college professor's son who grew up in Irvine, not some indigenous guerrilla from the jungle. Same Trustifarian faggots liked Phish too.

 

[Overwritten Tapes]

Rap. Any of it.

I used to write rap music too until I sobered up and looked around and saw the degeneracy and retardation.

 

[Spasticus Autisticus]

I never heard much about Sublime despite being a teenager/young adult in the early 1990s, probably a alternative rock band I don’t usually care about.

As someone who grew up on the west coast of the US, I envy you. If you were in your teens to early 30s at any point after 1995 and you were within a 5 hour drive of the Pacific Ocean, they were inescapable. I still hear "What I Got" on bar playlists and their current incarnation as "Sublime with Rome" is doing the Indian casino circuit. Sublime always sucked, Bradley Nowell joining Club 27 (ok he was actually 28 ) was the only reason they became popular, the few decent tunes they have are just inferior re-works of old roots reggae tunes, and the only people who still like them are burnout stoners who secretly wish weed was still illegal so they could feel like outlaws again.

You could read one of the 120,567 other threads here if you don't like this one.

On-topic, David Bowie and Morrissey have always been red flags to me, particularly in women. Nobody under 50 who says they like David Bowie actually listens to David Bowie all that much. When I did online dating for a bit around a decade ago, I swear half the women on OKCupid cited him in their profiles to look "different" and "quirky" even though they were all interchangeable hipsters. One of them wrote her entire profile in the third person and cited Pliny the Elder as her favourite author. Morrissey fans are similar, except they do actually listen to him to the point of obsession and if you were foolish enough to go on a date with one you'd wake up chained to her bed and missing a kidney while she reads Sylvia Plath poetry and carves her name into your chest with her nails.

Why yes, I like 2000s rap

One Direction in the year of our lord, 2023: A mentally ill obsessed loon still pining for the old days.

Harry Styles: Mentally ill adult woman who calls her boyfriends daddy. Not to PL but got actual experience with this one. Bitch kept claiming Harry Styles invented the daddy thing so therefore it's okay because he's "King Daddy"

Whatever crap gets popular from Tiktok: A dumb zoomer or a mindless consumer adult with zero taste or critical thinking skills. Especially if they begin going "Yass queen" to some instathot singing about her mental illnesses or the ways she wants to murder people over the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.

In the realm of K-Pop, specifically BTS and BLACKPINK. A literal child or some actual creepy white woman projecting onto unrelated Koreans.

Hamilton anything: A retarded leftie who makes cringe low-effort animatics.

People who unironically like the music mainstream YouTubers put out; Paypigs obsessed with random people on the internet.

Edit: Gorillaz. Most certainly a massive red flag if the fans are women, holy fuck.

And One Direction was already a warning sign 12 years prior and sadly they've gotten worse.

If you like RATM, you should be executed.

 

[Kid Named Rocket]

1. People that unironically listen to Powerwolf are probably one of those 'right-leaning' ironic nazi furfags.
2. Low-hanging fruit, but anyone that listens to K-Pop should be culled from the gene pool. I have never seen a shittier genre of music in my life.
3. Most people that listen to classical are pretentious hipster snobs.
4. Death metal and any further subgenres are incomprehensible shit for schizophrenics.

 

[TVB]

I listen to classical. Does that make me a hipster snob?

 

[Lowlife Adventures]

3. Most people that listen to classical are pretentious hipster snobs.

I'm inclined to agree but only if we're talking about:
A. people who listen to classical because they bought into the "classical gives you brain power" meme and not because they actually enjoy the music,
B. people into 20th century modernists
