Do you actually like music?

Loaf · January 20, 2015, 12:31:09 AM

I feel like most music is about trying to get you to get up and really feel the rhythm. I really hate that. I listen to music while sitting down in my chair, in my bedroom. I apply my attention to it and I decide if I like it or not based on how it makes me feel. I am not out at the club, or dancing, or playing it on speakers with a bunch of people over. I actually like listening to music for the sake of listening to music. How many of you can say that you actually listen to music for the sake of listening to music? Can you put on your headphones and just sit there and listen to an entire album without getting bored? Or do you need alterior motive to even listen to music in the first place?

If I tried to dance to my music I'd look like a real faggot.

Sigma617 · January 20, 2015, 12:35:49 AM

The fuck kind of question is that?

Of course I like music. And the way you enjoy music is entirely valid.

If I feel like shit, a lot of the time I'll just sit in my bed with headphones on for hours.

I enjoy making music myself. So yeah, music is great.

BaconShelf · January 20, 2015, 01:15:13 AM

I like some music. Generally that which has a lot of guitar in it.

aREALgod · January 20, 2015, 01:15:26 AM

Considering I play piano and write my own music, I'd say pretty safely I actually like music.

Mad Max · January 20, 2015, 01:19:24 AM

I fucking love music.

Live music. Recorded music. Sitting down. Standing up. Crowded bar. Quiet bedroom.

Doesn't matter.

Oh, so classical pianist have no value? While they play the hardest piano pieces ever written to large, wealthy audiences in the best music halls in the world?

So, if writing music, playing music, listening to music, LOVING music isn't enough, then how do I truly "appreciate" music?

Literally the complexity of music has no bearing on how good it is. This is just an emotionally driven opinionated rant by you.

While you do kinda have a point about complexity and quality, a good amount of simple music is shit. There's a reason pop music is shit. 4 chords and the same song structure will only get you so much.
