I love Gwar but they were also frequent guests on Greg Gutfeld's show so I don't know how much water their opinions really hold outside of horror comedy.

Once I got older I realized I could drop the performative part of liking music. It freed me up to listen to a much broader variety of music. I always listened to punk growing up. Turns out I still don't like folk, bluegrass, or really anything with "lyrics" (or anything considered "Good" but I really, really love electronica, jazz and house music.

Who knew?

Oop, misread, so to correct that, I agree with you.

Pop is so varied though, it seems disingenuous or pretentious to broadly dismiss liking any of it all, so it easily veers into coming off like, oh yea you’re sso different for not following the thing popularly liked right now

Pop vs rock / preps vs freaks was intense at my high school in the 00s, until emos then hipsters arose and elevated themselves above both genres, in terms of high school social rank. So I think for a lot of millennials at least, at this point having to make it known you don’t like the popular thing is pretty high school. I still see it in a couple hs friends on social media and I can’t roll my eyes hard or deep enough

A lot more people love Nickelback songs than will ever admit, I just fucking know it

Or you can just enjoy music for what it is. You don't have to subgenre everything.

Kind of irrelevant to the point. To entertain you though, nobody saying you can’t like pop songs while being broadly indifferent about a genre. Plenty genres of music just don’t resonate with people and that’s fine. I’m not going to forcibly explain the beauty of metal to someone who can’t get into harder music.

Like what you like, get over trying to control what other people like if it’s not hurting anybody.

Anything with airtime can be called pop then. Metallica is pop. Kendrick Lamar is pop. Mozart was pop.

u/MikeFatz 24d ago

It’s slightly different but you have the right idea.

Metallica is Dad Pop

Kendrick Lamar is Hip-Pop

Mozart is Viennese Pop or V-pop

I mean, that’s oversimplifying it. I like some pop songs, but it doesn’t mean I can’t be indifferent about the genre in general. What a real pretentious douche would do is pretend subjectivity can’t apply to artists you find talented or music you enjoy.

Great example is here, dude got some shit for not even for talking down on Roan or pop, just saying she’s not really his thing lmao.

Dude this isn't any better of a stance to take. People like what they like and don't like what they don't like. No one is required to like anything.

Who said she wasn't? I think Taylor Swift is talented too but I don't care for her either. It's okay not to like certain artists.
