What is the most prestigious music that a 20-something can listen to without looking like a sexless dork?
For example, Bach is probably the most prestigious musician in existence, but you may as far as "coolness" goes, you well say you do calculus recreationally.
No need to tell me to be myself, I've already discovered that rebellious idea by watching television.

Just listen to pop music like normal people. Being a try-hard impresses no one.
Kanye West
just listen to the lonesome crowded west
Not posturing and acting fake and being honest with yourself and others is the most prestigious thing you can do and the coolest thing you can do.

As seen on TV. Tell me, do you watch the Rebel channel or the Non-Conformist channel?
Listen to the Bee Gees

Pantera

if you care so fucking bad what people think of you just listen to top 40 and shut the fuck up bitch ass
>>70111258
this.
No one cares.
Jazz that isn't "Miles, Davis, the list goes on" is probably a good answer, anon.
I like Kashiwa Daisuke's 88. It's a sort of piano jazz, sophisticated but not stuffy.

Whether you care or not was not the question.
>>70111662
true
>>70111662
...And the fact that you took the time to say it means that you actually do care.
I skim past things I don't care about and forget them almost immediately.
You seem kind of worried that you might get tricked into thinking I'm cool when I'm actually not 100% kosherito, or something trivial like that.
>>70111212
Just Listen to whatever the fuck you want and dont be obnoxious about it. Dont rely on "being cool" based on what music you hear, but on being funny, comfortable to be around with, confidence and dank memes.
>>70111212
Tell everyone you listen to Filthy Frank
>>70111212
>you well say you do calculus recreationally
Not even close, millions of people adore Bach. Even without knowledge of theory, listening to his music can be really pleasant experience.

"Being yourself" isn't supposed to be rebellious you autistic fuck. Nobody will care that you listen to jazz if you're a pretentious twat and everyone will think you're a tool if you pretend to not like things because they're "uncool". At least furries and weebs are brave enough to talk about their gross and pleb hobbies.

You don't understand. Music is my life - I love listening to it, and I love rating it. I need normals to recognize that, all while maintaining my cool persona.
>>70111212
Tell everyone you listen to Joji Miller
>>70112089
Why on earth would you pretend to be me?
>>70112176
Already love Jojo, good music to vape to.
>>70111258
this
ay this is bait tho rite
>>70112242
looks like it
>>70112242
yes
>>70111990
What's it supposed to be, then?
What is the specific purpose of retaining the same set of habits forever, as if babies were born thinking dubstep is pretty cool?
What you're really asking is for me to not get uppity. Either that or to not think in public, and make your brain ache. No such luck on either count!
>>70112242
If you mean that it makes some brainless mollusk feel uncomfortable at the idea of someone taking conscious control of their lives, then yes, it does that. That however is not the main aim, merely an extremely invetible stimulus response.

Most current pop and hip hop music is straight up grating, mainstream culture is legitamately cringe inducing
>>70112938
I have no interest in rating music. The plan is to acquire the most useful tastes possible, and then act as if I was born with them to reassure the sensitive mollusks that I didn't think thoughts about music or anything unnatural like that.

98.5% of people don't give a shit what you listen to in your own time and won't really judge you based on it except for a little bit if they know almost nothing about you
>>70111212
I would recommend Steely Dan

>>70111258
not to sound like a fag or anything but this guy is right
>>70113148
Let me just test something out.
I am the OP. I eat cocks.
You may now express your derision at my apparent cock eating habits. Do so sincerely.
>>70111212
So, people who listen to bach are pretentious?
Couldn't be that people actually like his music right?
>>70113176
Steely Dan is based; don't just brush it off as Dad Rock.
>>70111284
Cartoon PSA copy aside, this is the correct answer.
Just listen to what you like. It's not hard.
>>70112888
sorry I'm a brainless mollusk and I couldn't possibly comprehend the point you're trying to make
fucking quag
>>70112998
kill yourself
>>70112888
you are so autistic lol
>>70112983
Nope, "alternative" culture has always been the most embarrassing. The exact same as mainstream but with a naive attitude that believes otherwise, so little self awareness.
