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.

[WSPWSPWSPWSP]

Phish. They probably smell and are retarded.

 

[Angelic 2 the Core]

I'm sorry, but "what kind of music do you listen to?" is an equally boring question, with the added benefit that there's usually a right answer and a wrong answer. The fact is, with most people its safer to just say that you like everything than endure some banal conversation about music tastes. I can't say I'm into goth and post-punk around the wrong people, I can't say I like classic rock without normies conflating it with metal, I can't say I like 90s hip-hop without it being called "Will Smith-core" or some other dumb joke they learned from Instagram. Most of the time it just isn't worth getting into, and the more serious someone is about a certain genre the more likely they are to be firstly, insanely obnoxious and secondly, utterly ignorant of everything outside their wheelhouse.

Most people are annoying, judgmental retards when it comes to discussing music and can't imagine why anyone would like a different genre or artist than them. This is why many people don't answer this question honestly and just say that they listen to anything because they don't want someone else lecturing them or sperging out about why your personal taste in music is wrong and why you should only listen to what they tell you to. Many people also think that only certain types of people should like specific genres of music and get pissed off about it if you don't fit into their stereotypes.

What's actually a "warning sign" is a thread as ridiculously retarded as this getting 37 pages worth of replies (tl;dr, I'll assume it's.....

You're not wrong, but you're also being a spastic. I haven't been in this thread for while and it has somewhat devolved into "this band sucks and you're a giant mo for liking them." I was trying, and I saying "trying" because apparently it's devolved from its original intent, to express how some lowlife loser mother fucks tend to gravitate towards certain styles of music. The examples I've listed in the original post were people I had come across and consistent behaviors and ways of living between them. This could have been because of the area I was in... but no, it wasn't, because for a large portion of my life I traveled a lot and always checked out the music scene at each place I moved-to/visited for work. I'd be at the place for weeks to nearly a full year, and consistently, if a girl's favorite band was Tool: bitch was insane. If some guy liked Grateful Dead or Phish, yippie cunt. And so on.

I do agree the thread has just become "the band you like is gay" but I was more-so going after "fandoms" and how you can easily spot them.

In short: it's not so much about the music, it's about the people that fag out over any given band and the traits they share as a common denominator.

Edit: spelling and grammatical errors.

I remember those The bands all too well. Splashed all over Rolling Stone covers, after awhile I couldn't tell them apart.

yeah, I remember that time too - every six months there'd be a new identikit band called The [Noun]s who'd be hailed by the NME as "the saviours of rock'n'roll" and then forgotten all about
with quality music journalism like that it's no wonder the NME went to the wall
at the time I came up with the name 'wanker rock' for this genre; the worst and most prominent offenders in my view were The Fratellis

 

[Meth Dick]

What does it say about me that I listen to primarily alternative country and 90s bands like Matchbox 20?

 

[soy woah jaque]

Anyone who says they'll listen to "anything". No specific genre. Just "anything". It's basically the quickest way to tell me you're the most boring fucking person in the world

FYI "I listen to anything" is a nicer way of saying "I don't want to tell you because you'll make fun of me"

 

[Not A Bunny]

FYI "I listen to anything" is a nicer way of saying "I don't want to tell you because you'll make fun of me"

Or, "Do I really want to get into this conversation about how you're going to be a judgmental prick about my music choices because if you're asking, you're probably that pretentious asshole that 'discovered' The Beatles in high school and you think that makes your taste in music superior?"

I'm at the point in my life where I've stopped giving a fuck and saying "yeah, I'll listen to anything", not because I'm boring (I'm sure a case can be made for that, which is another thing I don't give a fuck about), but because I assume the person asking is probably also boring as fuck and is trying to pigeonhole you the same way people who spend too much time on the internet try to pigeonhole you based on your political opinions.

You are about to be the surprise star of "Pegging a dude I just met Vol.45". Or stabbed. Either way a foreign object is about to be inserted into your body against your will.

Lot of insecure mfers in this thread. Meanwhile, I have no issue saying I enjoy listening to both Mongolian Folk Metal and 2000's White Girl Music. Seriously, it's some "main character syndrome" to think people are going to do anything worse than bust your balls for a few minutes before moving the fuck on. Ultimately, that's the point of my original post: quit being a bitch and thinking you're more important that you really are.

 

[Clitonium]

Mumble rap enjoyers. I have nothing else to say.

Juice WRLD and Xxxtentacion to be specific. I've always had horrible experiences around these people.

My "best friend" was a SoundCloud rapper up until the dude was thrown into court for statutory rape.

 

[The Hardest R]

My sister in law has had her face rearranged by various SoundCloud rappers over the years. They’re all scum. They’ll release a song that inexplicably and supposedly breaks every Billboard record out there and sells 8x platinum but the following year they’re back to total obscurity.

Eh, depends on who is asking it and the location. If it’s a social setting, yeah I’m with you. If it’s Kari from HR asking you during a work gathering, the smart thing to do is say “I listen to anything.”

 

[Omega Bruh Moment]

One of the biggest warning signs when talking to others about music is those who enjoy "Car Seat Headrest" because 9/10 times they're a drug addicted lgbtq furfag with absolutely 0 taste.
Same goes for all soundcloud rappers but in specific lil peep/xxxtentacion, they're ALWAYS a victim of severe child neglect and pedophilia and somewhere on the Cluster B spectrum of mental disorders
Also anyone who says they like The Smiths but not Morrissey because "he's a stinky evil racist waa" is just objectively retarded.

 

[Space Police]

All pop music is a red flag except Taylor Swift, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Queen, Kansas, Weird Al, and soyjak song parodies.

 

[Fault&Fracture 777]

How many of them have apologized on twitter and/or claimed their music is somehow about Trump/the troon experience?

Late response, but GG Allin has been dead for years.
D.A.C. & The Dead Milkmen never once apologized, even if they did I wouldn’t give a fuck NGL.
I don’t care what the artist thinks of their art in retrospect, nobody is the same person a after a decade of aging.

Nobody gives a fuck what you listen to after the age of maybe 20. Oh, you like dubstep? Nice, who cares.

 

[Fault&Fracture 777]

As funny as this thread is, to be completely honest.
Music isn’t really that good of an indicator of the kind of person somebody is, I have met white Conservatives who loved dancing to fuckin’ Ms. New Booty by BubbaSparxx at a Wedding, or listening to Practice What You Preach by Testament in their car.
Sometimes the people you least expect to enjoy a certain form of music, will enjoy that music.
It’s more of a red flag to hyperfixate on somebody’s music taste & judge them for that, like if you are dating somebody really hot & cool, are you suddenly just gonna be like “Oh you like Megafucks Eilishswift???? You must be a mentally ill cartoon loving pedoNazi tranny!”

But in all seriousness, I have nothing good to say about a certain group of young men who enjoy shit like Hobo Johnson, Emo Trap, Incelcore, or other garbage underground music they pretend is better than mainstream.
They almost always have very one-sided stories about how awful their ex is when I get the feeling they had faults too, they likely watch shit like Synthman or other Incel channels, & are helplessly addicted to misogynistic hentai or opiates.

No normal person I have ever met in-person IRL knows who the hell Hobo Johnson or Incelcore is.
But everybody I met online who enjoyed them gave off blackpill vibes, & I stayed clear of them.

If they say they'll listen to anything when I ask what they want to listen to then I'll play a minute or two of goregrind (I like it) on purpose then stop it and say "no you don't, so again, what do you want to listen to?" with a chuckle.
