Ow

i dunno what my most difficult album even is
hours of drone?
distilled onkyo?
post-industrial post-grind?
harsh wall EAI?

chances are, they'd just leave in one minute and then ask me if i'm crazy when they return after it's over

>>70553876
Same. I got into noise for a bit (about a fucking decade ago, by the way), and now my whole family continues to give me shit every time they bring up music in conversation and ask me what I've been listening to lately. Over ten goddamn years since that time in my life, and they continue to bust my balls. Anytime I try to introduce them to something now it's like:
>lol it's not noise is it?
>hope this isn't that noise stuff
>please play something normal, please play something normal, hahaha just kidding lol

And then when I tell them it's not noise because that was 10 fucking years ago and people change, then play something I like now (like they asked me to do), there's the unending cavalcade of dumbass opinions:
>this isn't music, it's too angry to be music
>this doesn't have very upbeat lyrics..
>and you heard this on the radio?
>but you liked good music when you were little, remember listening to stevie nicks records with your mom?
>could you try to play something normal for once?
>we hoped you would play something we all could enjoy

All this shit when they're the ones who asked what kind of music I'm listening to now.

>>70554357
Cmon man. Thats like the musical equivalent of shitting on a square and calling it art.

>>70554246
As in "hardest to get into", so the album in your library that would be most displeasing to people who aren't into it. Genres like noise rock, metalcore, grindcore, power electronics, etc.

>>70554458
I support you friend.

It's between Lye by Mistake and I am a Burning Lake of Orchids for me. I got shit for Gentle Giant, so I can't imagine either going over very well with them.

Maybe I don't listen to "difficult" enough music, but I certainly share it with my family. We all play music for each other. I listen to mostly math rock, post-rock, psychedelia, etc. Usually the way it goes down is I play something like that and ask my parents "What kind of music do you think this is?" The most common answer is my mom saying "sounds like Rush."

Generally my parents don't like the music unless I specifically picked something I thought they would like. They did enjoy Tame Impala for example.

If you play this one kind of quiet they might just think it's genereic rock.

Progressively redpilling my dad on heavier and heavier music and different kinds of metal. Mentioned that he liked a Slipknot song he heard on the radio a few weeks ago, I now almost have him listening to Infant Annihilator without complaint.

I have no idea how they would react to any of my music because I stopped talked to them about music once I moved out.

My mom hates everything that isn't the prog rock she snorted coke to in college, and my dad hates everything that isn't 60's protest music. My younger brother exclusively listens to the weirdest bullshit on the planet (like, "a 47-minute-long recording of two blenders being knocked around on a folding plastic table by a hockey stick, while somebody aggressively chants curse words in broken German" weird), and claims that all music that isn't what he listens to is "too mainstream to be any good." I'm convinced he posts here.

>>70555131
uh idk, onkyo? EAI? lowercase? nothing really comes to mind

>>70555041
not that anon, but Eleh is great for just losing focus to. I got into his stuff by accidentally leaving a song on in the background and forgetting it was even playing for 20 minutes, and when I finally saw it was playing in a tab in the background it made me realize much more time had passed than I would have thought.

See, I WOULD just lie and play something closer to their circles of music (when THEY ask ME to play for them what I'm listening to lately), but I can't win in that arena either. If I pick something I'm fairly certain they'll probably enjoy (y'know, something "normal") they say shit like:
>oh come on, you don't listen to this kind of music
>we know you listen to stuff that's way weirder than this
>dude don't lie, play something you actually listen to
>so when does the noise start so I can cover my ears? haha just kidding lol but really when?

And when I relent and play something I've recently enjoyed, they turn around and do the same bullshit I complained about in my first post. The last time I politely declined (and I only said, "I'm not really listening to anything new right now, actually," by the way) I apparently ruined everyone's Thanksgiving, and my mom ambushed me in the kitchen to tell me I was being rude to the whole family.

I can't win, anon. I guess it's easier to just let the whole family spend 40 minutes a few times a year openly mocking me, than it is to be blamed by the whole family for ruining holidays.

That doesn't mean anything though since it varies based on person. I'd have a harder time listening to an entire Bieber album than Agoraphobic Nosebleed, does that mean the pop star makes more difficult music?

The only thing I can think of is something that literally nobody can listen to due to physical demands humans can't meet, like longplayer. But then that's not really an album so I'm not sure it counts.

Sounds like you're the pleb, anon-kun

>>70555764
That's cool that they're open minded about music. My mum doesn't really seem to like music at all really and hates anything even slightly heavy or angry sounding. When I was around eight I wanted her to take me to the cd shop in the mall and she wouldn't let me go in cause they were playing slipknot.

>>70556223

I'm just saying "hardest to get into" is an obviously flawed metric that doesn't actually point to anything in particular. If you listen to Lightning Bolt you probably didn't find them difficult to get into at all because their music appeals to you. People like different things, this isn't news.

have you never been in a situation in which you've been asked to play music but you knew everyone around you didn't want to listen to the kind of music you like?

This Thread is about sharing which kind of music you think those kinds of people would like the least, not what you think is the hardest thing for you to have gotten into. Like for instance my dad would not like it if he knew I was into Noise music.

>>70557377
so what about that makes it "incredibly fascinating and important"? The fact that child rape is a thing that exists? If I made a record about how I don't particularly like mayo would that be fascinating and important because it's based on a real life occurrence? Presumably not, so is its value in its controversy, and if so why does it need to be music in the first place? Why should something be considered valuable just for being offensive?

>>70557377
no lesson, no appeal unless youre a piece of shit. Some of my favorite music is horrorcore but that has an entertainment value. People actually suffering is just disgusting. Children of god is a great movie but strapping a go pro onto a child soldier would be stupid and exploitive.

Some of it probably is, honestly. Art is literally just "things that people genuinely consider to be art," I'm sure there's some fucktard somewhere that honestly believes they're making art when they ruin lives. It doesn't excuse it but nobody ever said art had to be excusable.
