Unpopular views about music

What's up with this Youngblud guy? He seems to have come out of nowhere and it feels really astroturfed. With the retarded name and spelling I thought he was some ghetto rapper at first. But no. He's hanging with all these rock legends. There was that whole thing with Ozzy and the cross. That new song he has with Aerosmith is an autotuned mess. I couldn't even tell it was Aerosmith at first. I know Steven Tyler's voice is permanently fucked anyway. But this is just horrible.

I just hope this is 15 minutes of fame and we won't even remember who Youngblud is five years from now. Billy Corgan compared him to Elton John. No.

He's been around since the 2010s at the very least. I remember him from back then and I just remember his music being cringe, from the very little I heard of it. Real "2edgy4u" type shit. Now he's trying to be ~deep~.

Hiphop music isn't all bad. Now it's a biased thing to say but there were good rap music back in the 90's.

Mainstream hiphop failed aesthetically at the same time mainstream rock did. "Drop it Like it's Hot" and the Outkast songs everyone loves are from 2003-4, just like the last Interpol and Modest Mouse and Strokes records anybody cares about. There have been a lot of good things since then, but they're not famous, and they don't "change the world" or even become songs your friends all know.

saying "i hate all country but johnny cash" doesnt make you special it's quite the popular option

I used to be one of those people until I found dark country and outlaw country. My issue with country was I hadn't found country I liked.

And after Kristofferson died last year, the only two OG outlaws we have left are David Allan Coe and Willie.

I’m currently listening to Daniel Johnston and I don’t get why “Hi How Are You?” is considered “lo-fi music”. It’s just traditional folk music done in his own way.

He recorded almost all of his albums on a tape recorder. Not a studio, multi-track recorder but the single track kind you could buy from any consumer goods place. It doesn't really get more lo-fi than that.

It's not a phase. I actually think post-hardcore, 'screamo', and adjacent subgenres are actually good. The only thing about it that was a fad is the fashion.

Me with Murder By Death (though they're a bit more indie/folk apparently, but close enough)

Ludovico Einaudi is a hack, his work is only fit for insurance company hold music. The musical equivalent of a grey crushed velvet sofa and "Live, Laugh, Love" sign.

I often like how punk music sounds even if by and large the people who make and listen to it are crusty STD riddled spastics.

 

[Wot Zit Too Yah0996]

OneRepublic and Imagine Dragons were catchy, decent, even... then they seemed to go all corporate-sounding. At best, they, especially OneRepublic, sound dudebro.

this is a top 10 greatest album of all time

Lo-fi is really overused as a term. Most "lo-fi" music would better be described as "Chill hop" or "background music", and most normalG-Ds don't even know what lo-fi means because the term is so overused.
Analog music formats (ex: vinyl, tape) are fucking retarded in terms of quality. My phone, or if I'm feeling fancy my $15 Sansa clip zip, will always sound better than your multi-thousand dollar setup, and my .flacs are free while your music costs $30-500 per album. That being said, it is fun to mess around with something physical, even if it sounds worse.

After seeing how much of faggots musicians are during the pandemic it has become even harder to find and support music that I enjoy.

Every major media personality was like that during the pandemic tbf

Oasis has some good songs, some I even listen to on occasion but why is everyone an Oasis superfan now, my theory is its just millennials being nostalgic for when they weren't so fat, old and their cock still worked and people who feel like they missed out on it

all straight edge bands are fucking shit you can't tell me people unironically listened to shit like this

Pink Floyd aged horribly, this song is actually catchy but it comes off as "you can't tell me what to do, man!"

I'm still pretty convinced that Oasis is an elaborate practical joke and never actually existed. I grew up in the 90s and listened to the radio, but the first time I ever heard of Oasis was in the 2000s, when I was told that there was this suuuuuuuper popular British band that had released all these great songs that everybody loved, and they were troubled amd kinda retarded, but were brillant, amaaaaazing songwriters. And then they'd play "Wonderwall," or whatever, and it was a boring, terrible song, with lyrics that make no sense. It feels like a prank, or a psyop, or something, to see how far they can trick the music-listening public into "remembering" a band that never existed, and convincing them that obviously terrible music is actually good.

I hate them all.

Anyone who hates the Beatles is fucking retarded, like literal sub-70 IQ knuckle dragging retard material.

You were out of the loop then. The alt stations in the 90s played them, mainly "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back In Anger" and "Champagne Supernova."

My hot take is I don't really have a problem with AI music.
As an example of what I think is actually good:
Funk versions of ...And Justice For All and Master of Puppets (the title track is the weakest on this version MOP in my opinion)

I don't have a problem with using AI as a tool, especially if it's not for profit.

That being said I know AI is going to become a huge incentive to cheap out and ditch hiring actual musicians to play on records. Which is why even though I don't have a problem with it, I kinda have to pretend it's the worst thing ever. Especially because I am a musician myself.
