If You Are A False Don't Entry
I really hate Dancy music. There may be no such thing as “good or bad” music, but that is just because there is no such thing as objective good or bad, universally. What there is though, is music that is made to be more immediate to the listener. There is literally music that is made to be understood on the very first listen, while some music is composed differently so the brain doesn’t get the immediate satisfaction it would listening to something poppy.

There are obviously very extreme examples on either end of the spectrum. The music of mainstream culture is so repetitive, to me it is just unbearable to listen to. It sounds simple, annoying, easy to literally get stuck in your head because it is so repetitive and simple. So you can tell me that there is no music that is objectively good or bad, but you cannot tell me that some music is simply less challenging. Some music listeners are serious about listening to music, so it is frustrating to some listeners who take listening to music seriously. There is a dilemma here, whether you want to call it “good and bad taste” or not.

I can confirm that some songs aren't appealing from the beginning.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
I think as long as it has instruments in it it's certainly a start.

Some music today...voice synthers, electronic instrument substitutes... they're  fine when accompanying, but not being the base and sole conyent of a song.
