I realized a long time ago that music “sucked” because I would never open myself up to it and genuinely allow myself to find value in it.
It’s like my dad who has just decided that all rap sucks even though he has basically zero experience with it. I said the same thing until I was around 21 and almost missed all the really, really good stuff. Tai Verdes’ album “TV” is incredibly musical, for example.
What do you listen to right now?
I try my hardest to find new songs, because I don't want to be some boomer bastard.
I don't know what exactly counts as 'new', but I'm enjoying these songs a lot lately
AronChupa & Little Sis Nora - Tangaman
Little Sis Nora - MDMA
These two remind me of late 90s eurobeat shit like Aqua.
Shotgun Willy - Bombs Away
bbno$ & Yung Gravy (BABY GRAVY) - Goodness Gracious
I actually just like anything by this bbno$ guy, but I'm loving the beats and flow on these styles of rap.
Pickle - Stompin'
Makes me feel like I'm on drugs in a club back in the day.
I feel like a lot of new music is probably hidden away on shit like TikTok where I'm never going to be exposed to it because I don't use it. I have noticed Drum 'n' Bass seems to be back, but I was never a fan of that but I'm sure it's someones jam.
Just want to take a moment to point out that two of the three you seem to like because they remind you of the past.
I fully support your take on trying to find new stuff, I personally have found that many good songs that I love take a few listens for me to actually like them, some do not catch on tho.
Given that, may I suggest you add new songs you want to try in your rotation? When they come up just take some effort to listen through and take them in, think of what you like and what you don't, see if it changes.
Don't torture yourself tho
It's more that they're a genre that I haven't seen in 20 years, than that they remind me of the past. I love happy, upbeat, energetic bobby shit. Because it felt like a few years ago everything was that slooooow boring rap style by people fucked up on some sort of downers.
But y'know what I'm going to force myself to listen to everything on this page.
Okay so first 10 are done and I've enjoyed 'Miley Cyrus - Flowers', 'Troye Sivan - Rush', and 'Olivia Rodrigo - Get Him Back!'. The other 7 were pretty slow and boring for my tastes.
