ITT your favorite musician, band & the reason why you lurk /mu/

Can't decide on a favourite artist, but I browse /mu/ in search of discussions about old (like, pre-psych) music.

They're rare.

Iron Maiden is my favorite band.
Matter of Life and Death is my favorite of their albums.
I lurk /mu/ because I like music but I'm too lazy to seek out good music on my own, and I like to hear obscure garbage and see Deathgrips memes.

>Favorite Musician: Q-Tip
>Favorite Band: Megadeth
>Reason Why I lurk: To look for new music to listen to

Panda Bear is my favorite artist.

I'm here to look for new music and get recs, but I like the humor here somewhat.

Fiona Apple

I look to hoarde enough music to the point of satisfaction, then leave until the annual AOTY threads

Guster.
Trying to broaden what I listen to, find new stuff. Fairly certain I'll just get torn apart if I posted my tastes in here.

>Sufjan
>Kraftwerk

I don't even know why I come here anymore to be honest

St. Vincent

It's something to do, even if there's a lot of shitposting it keeps me busy mostly. Also I've found some cool stuff on here so that happening occasionally is worth it too. Also music news is often posted on here from various sites.

>future
>pink floyd

favorite musician in terms of their role in the band is geologist of animal collective
animal collective
i first came here from /v/ when i was 16 and first getting into "indie" and wanted to see if mu had anything good on it and was surprised to find ppl talking about animal collective, thrn i found the other side of mu which was funposting and it all went downhill fromt here

>>61797923
Daft Punk. and because I like finding new music through /mu/

Taylor Swift
Talk Talk

Dunno. I don't like it here. People are either too serious about music or not serious enough. But occasionally there's someone nice to talk to. I don't have any friends so some of you guys are the best I have.

Because 18 year old virgin who actually has a lot of guys talk to her but curves every single one of them and never goes out bc of crippling depression and anxiety and feels a sense of belonging here even though still fresh off the boat from tumblr 2 years after she stopped using it and is offended by a lot of the things you people say about women but secretly likes it

Lil Ugly Mane

I lurk /mu/ because I use to think my music taste was superior to everybody else's, but when i browse /mu/ it makes me realize just how vast the world of music is and just how unimportant my opinion really is. And to be real honest /mu/ probably has the best taste compared to other music forums such as reddit

>>61797923
devin townsend
skinny puppy
couldnt tell you

>>61797923
I browse /mu/ because I sometimes find pretty cool new music here and I like the memes

its also the perfect speed imo not too fast or slow

fav artist: daniel lupatin
I browse /mu/ because of the sharethreads + the memes here tend to be rather dank

Richard D. James
Sweet Trip, hard to definitively say though
because I'm lonely, like the culture and music is one of the only things I derive enjoyment from

>>61797923

I couldn't pin a lifetime favorite down, but my current flavor is Two Gallants.

Favorite single musician is likely Jerry Cantrell.

I lurk /mu/ for /gg/ mostly. I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the cringe threads.

Kanye atm

Beach House

Sharethreads/shugazi threads/I'm actually lonely as fuck and some of you assholes are alright

I have to go get some papers anna it was nice talking to you.

>>61805017
Jeff, she's not coming back. I'm sorry.

>>61804985
and i was saying your advice is wrong
and you only gave that advice because you thought it would go out to someone stuck in the same situation as you, so i directed it towards you
i bet youve heard that sentence a hundred time "everything gets better" you know why that never helped you or anyone else no matter how many times it was said? its because its not true anon. dont live your life hoping that it is or you will never get better and you will never be happy

>>61805101
Implying you know anything about my life or my mindset... I know from experience that things do get better and I'm sorry that you're so sad that you believe otherwise. Here for you if you need a friend

Daft Punk

Because sometimes you guys come through on recommendations/humor. Sometimes.

>>61805188
someone else is trying to talk to you at the same time so im gonna namefag now to avoid confusion

you completely missed my point anon, and dont just go on the defensive and blow me off or try to push my buttons
you said it yourself your sad, and you said your struggling with anxiety. that everything gets better mentality is not helping you. im trying to tell you to stop expecting things to change so easily. life just doesnt get better over time you need to work at things like this. you need to put in the effort and bust your ass day in and day out to get where you want to be in this world. and some things dont get better, some things dont get fixed, and someones dont ever heal but you live with it. you move past your scars and you find something else to live for
i might come across as a dick and i doubt im getting my point across at all but im trying to help because i care, i might not even know you, and you might not even want to hear what im saying but i honestly and wholeheartedly care and want you to know that all blind hope will get you is further down the spiral. no everything wont get better but thats okay. whats important is to work at what you can change and find what will make you feel okay

>>61805458
>someones dont ever heal
some wounds not someones sorry

>>61805458
shit I really should have ran this through spell check first xD

>>61805495
you really gotta steal my name dude?

i lurk here cos a girl i'm in love with might still, otherwise fuck all of you guys except the tripfags of course

>>61805458
>might not even want to hear what im saying but i honestly and wholeheartedly care and want you to know that all blind hope will get you is further down the spiral.
the irony

>>61805547
blind hope doesnt help anon. it makes you give up on trying and just wait for things to go your way. it makes people lazy and it makes people get trapped in this cycle of self hate and depression
im not talking out of my ass here ive been there, im being as real as i can be

>>61805458
thank you for your concern seriously but I am fully aware of the point you are trying to get across. I have no "blind hope". That is not my mentality. I work my ass off just to avoid staying in bed all day. My initial comment was just based on a general concern for someone who might be going through the same thing. It doesn't hurt to offer words of comfort to someone who's having a rough time.

>>61805594
you have blind hope that shes gunna be impacted by your advice guy

Brody Dalle

Because why the fuck not.

>>61805619
those comforting words if taken literally can be self destructive anon.
and alot of times those words cause nothing but eye rolls from people who seriously need help
i just want you to think about it next time you tell someone everything gets better, because thats not the way to comfort someone. it might be the most overused and if not the most common expression but people need to hear something different from that

Jason Aldean. Reason? Old boots, new dirt.

I don't have a favorite musician
Favorite band is Caddywhompus

I lurk /mu/ because in late 2011 I was unemployed, got kicked out of my apartment and had to drop everything and move to the opposite end of the country. During the depressive transition I had a lot of time on my hands so I listened to shitloads of all kinds of music, just trying to take everything in. I found sharethreads and I've been here ever since.

I lurk now out of habit, though. A lot of the meme/joke threads I just pass by because they seem a lot more pointless than ever before, and as a result I barely post

Björk
Tortoise

I'm coming to terms with the fact that I've been depressed since early adolescence, and that because of this my hedonic ceiling is extremely low, and music is the best way I know to pass my time
P.S.: I would be using drugs, but no friends or money :/

>>61806079
if your in the upstate new york area i can help you out on the drug connects

>>61797923
hard to choose. AnCo maybe

because listening to music is one of my only hobbies outside of skateboarding and smoking weed

You guys share some good music and sometimes have good discussion.

Daft Punk

Because it can be funny

I don't know what my favorite of all time is. But my current favorite is Twenty One Pilots. I lurk /mu/ to find new stuff to listen to.

The Velvet Underground

I like getting the recs and that no one really over-analyses the music to he extent of other music forums. Cringe threads are top notch as well

>>61806395
