what are some immediate red flags you get from people that signal

>>70953290
they have friends and can have normal relationships with people
NORMIES GET OUT

if they like dr. who they probably listen exclusively to the hamilton mixtape and twenty one pilots

>I don't listen to albums

They wear any kind of band merch

>>70953290
they use beats headphones

They watch music awards and try to talk to you about them.

If they're a weeb they're nearly guaranteed to have shit music taste, often they like it because the band did the theme for their favourite pedophile ani-meh

They listen to any genre with "post" or "core" in its name

"I only listen to REAL (any fuckin genre here)"

>>70953318
these, also J-Pop, K-Pop etc
and if I ever hear anyone mention anything about AJJ I try to avoid them

Which series? The 1963 series is great, the 2005 reboot is a fuckawful hotbed of bad memes and teen angst.

they mourned the death of bowie
they mourned the death of prince

>>70953373
But happy hardcore is fun.

They say things like this: "I don't like progressive rock" and "I don't like psychedelic rock"

>>70953290
They think the Beatles are the best band
They don't listen to albums / single songs
They use shuffled playlists
They use the term dubstep (incorrectly) or EDM

" I like droning guitars with faint singing"

>>70953318

top 20 trap hip hop garbage

I have no problem with fans of fans of top 20 pop music but the shitty drake derivatives annoy me to no end, they think they're edgy by playing their safe accepted edgy hip hop ugh

>>70953318
I like classic Doctor Who, before it got picked back up

Season long arcs wrecked that show. It's not the same

They don't like any David Bowie record.

They're white.

>>70953290
They post in /mu/

Every single fucking time I try to make a new friend and eventually start talking about music, I'll ask them what they listen to and I can't begin to count the number of times they've said "A little bit of everything" before answering my follow up question of what their favorite artists are with 5 bands or artists in the same fucking genre it's seriously foolproof and happens every fucking time it never fails to internally enrage me

The majority of music they listen to is primarily composed of lyrics with very little instrumentation.

>>70958530
I think the problem is with you being autistic about it. A lot of people don't really care much about music, apart from having it as background noise for daily activities, and maybe having a few songs that they really enjoy when they come up on the radio. In which case, "a little bit of everything" is pretty much the only answer. My mother is like that, she listens to radio quite a bit, and she's fine with pretty much any station, whether it's country, classic rock, classical music, hip hop, top 40, etc. And I'm certain she couldn't even pick out a single artist as her favorite, much less 5 of them. Now, if you weren't a raging sperg you'd realize that, instead of expecting someone to reply to your follow-up question with something like Brahms, Hanatarash, Marduk, Oingo Boingo and Dolly Parton.

The thing is, you surely know other good stuff, even if it's just basic RYMcore, like Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, Pavement, the VU, Television, etc.
The people that anon was talking about are like listening to the same set of 40-50 songs for years and years.

You first, anon.

You may think you've proven something by listing a couple dozen closely related types of Asian twing twang and challenging me to pick favourites, but you haven't. I've listened to and enjoyed Debashish Bhattacharya, Keyhan Kalhor, Zakir Hussain, Lalgudi Jayaraman and the list goes on. I'm conscious that I don't have a highly developed interest in EVERY kind of music, but I don't confine myself to a handful of genres either.

So fuck you with a hacksaw : )

>>70953963
This is almost exactly me except for the last 2

>>70960209
I'd go with Bandish, Kajari, and maybe Tappa. It's really difficult to pick a top 3 though, there are so many fantastic albums there.

They like Linkin Park or 311. Maybe they listen to emo or screamo(same thing but with screaming and crying). Maybe they listen to bands like Cannibal Corpse. Maybe they are too into the Grateful Dead and think Jerry Garcia is coming back someday. Maybe they are into boy bands well into their 30s...There are a lot of different people with crappy taste.

I usually only hear "hip-hop heads" or "bass heads" say this

They don't realize that you wouldn't even be able to hear that shitty rap or those insanely fast hi hats if there weren't any treble.

"I listen to everything"

"i listen to good music"

"what I listen depends at my mood"

>>70959794
if you listen to albums only, after some amount of time, the album will become a single song.

so you sort of reduce your catalog by (average amount of songs at albums you listen to)

biggest red flag is someone who's really into "difficult"/noisy/chromatic stuff but has no respect for melodic stuff

they like hard bop but not traditional jazz
they like schoenberg but not brahms
they like clarence clarity but hate pop
they love spiderland and have almost no opinion on marquee moon

it's like they think enjoying music is a video game, and they want to brag about playing it on hard mode

'i dont really listen to lyrics'

'sometimes i just need something that you dont have to focus on'

'kpop...'
