I've never understood modern pop music

[leonmagnus99]

I just don't like it. I don't think I'm biased towards older music because of nostalgia either because I'm only fourteen.

I've just always liked classic rock and metal, none of the modern pop songs I hear seem to have really deep lyrics or instrumental and seem too uhhhhh... poppy. Maybe I'm just hearing the wrong music or something.
In the end I think it really just boils down to personal taste really, I'm just weird. Anyone else like this?

well here's a song i really listen alot to these days.


OvO i personally listen to all kinds of shit as long as it sounds good to me.

Nether do I. I prefer to stick to Thrash, Heavy and Death metal, although I am willing to listen to some classical or jazz music... The thing with pop is that it has no meaning(does 'baby, oh baby' sound creative to you), most of it is nort complex at all and it is too Mainstream™...

If you have any taste in music whatsoever, you probably won't understand or like pop music. Simple as that.

I have taste in music, I like a lot of music from different genres.

Pop songs are trash although I have to admit one thing: K-Pop songs are hilarious.
I myself listen to electronic music mostly [Dubstep, Heavy Dubstep, Glitch-hop, Dance-hop, Electro, Electro House etc.]

That song's pretty neat but I hate that the "instrumental" is just a loop of the same thing and the overused drum machine beat.

You know, without pop music, I can't look at Miley Cyrus' nipples or her riding on a wrecking ball.

Really, it's good either way to have pop music so people can remix it.










My advice to you is: don't worry about it. Most people do it for the money, on both sides. And the fact it's literally supposed to be shit.

I personally don't even know how to differentiate between genres. I just listen to whatever sounds good. The one thing that I absolutely hate is what I call "digital trumpets." Those synthesized trumpets/bassoons/sax are the most annoying thing ever, and I can't ever listen to a song that has 'em. But really, most pop songs are devoid of the "meaning" that I like to find in songs. I don't like to listen to just a good beat, I like to know that there's something behind it. I can't stand most modern rap, because it seems people are just spouting incoherent alphabet soup into a mic in the most god-awful voices and with the most god-awful music. I also need songs with enough "oomph." Songs that are too "floaty" or that aren't musically complex are too simple for my ears.
