What are some groups or artists that you genuinely enjoy but will never admit to, not even admit it to yourself?
Pic related, I love everything of his before he went mainstream and full pop in the 2010s.

Also, Brokencyde's debut album. It's like the perfect time capsule of "alternative" music of the myspace era.

>guilty pleasure
Honestly, I don't quite understand why anyone would ever admit to having a "guilty pleasure" when it comes to music.
When someone calls something a "guilty pleasure," they're saying much more than just "I like it but it's bad". In reality, they are putting themselves into one of two camps; neither of which are desirable to be in.
>1. The "ironic rockist" - this camp purports to be appreciating music on an intellectual or "deep" level, but shows enjoyment for something does doesn't live up to their poorly contrived notions of artistic evauluation.
>in order to justify this behavior and quell their cognitive dissonance, the rockist will choose to label the piece a "guilty pleasure" and avoid amending their evaluation process to better reflect their actual tastes.
>2. The "real" [insert genre] fan- this camp purports to be appreciating music on a "genuine" or "personal" level, but will prove otherwise through their actions. Much like the ironic rockist, they will achieve a state of cognitive dissonance when they find that they enjoy something not fitting in with the image they desire to project. They settle the dissonance through the justification of it being a "guilty pleasure" while assessing "well everyone has some."
>Oftentimes called such things as "hipsters" or "poseurs," these people are frequently concerned more with the image they gain in the eyes of others rather than the pleasure they derive from the music itself- that is to say, their enjoyment of the art stems almost purely from something outside themself, the art itself, and their sphere of control.

Subscribing to guilty pleasures kills any chance of thought about the medium one is consuming because they're agreeing to pre-made ideas which are not rooted in the self. While a mature music listener will decide what they think about music from within, the rockist is falling to pre-made conceptions which say that something is intrinsically better without actually making any kind of assessment themselves. As such, doing so makes a person an empty vessel for the perceived ideas and opinions of others instead of a source of fresh and stimulating genuine viewpoints.
If someone has opinions that are not their own, why should you respect them over the true source of their opinions? Musically immature behaviors such as those stated above are not accepted by the mature members of /mu/, and never will be.
TL;DR - If you have guilty pleasures, you are a plebeian who should go back to where this behavior is acceptable- namely Reddit.
tbhfam some Pokemon names would make for killer band names.

But I have a low self esteem and I don't feel worthy to. Like it's not me and not something someone like me should do and anytime I even have the though of making music I just feel like it not for someone like me, like I won't look good doing it.
How do I get rid of this type of thinking and just live /mu/?
Don't think too much. Just make the music if you feel like it. Keep it to yourself until you are ready to share it with people. =)
holy shit what a loser lol

The girl on the left, meanwhile, is mean, bitterly sarcastic, and will belittle you if you do even tiniest thing wrong. She does, however, have the most incredible taste in music, and you will have great recommendations for life.
Who do you choose?
