good news everyone it is time for an occasional musical self-check

anon what is the right way to listen to music please tell me I don't want to be doing it wrong on accident, I'm new here :/

And the biggest one, kill yourself if you do this
>you listen to it because you enjoy listening to it

I unironically agree.

one of the first signs of realizing that ones taste
applies to this criteria is repulsive behavior.
it is ok to feel this way because you are one step
closer to improving your ears

That's why i listen to metal almost all the time. It's the only music i can naturally get attached to without having to contemplate anything.
It's like it was made to be listened by me.

>>73547372
that just means you're like OP just scared of leaving your comfort zone

sad desu

>>73547393
huh
I literally had to leave my comfort zone to
achieve untainted musical enjoyment.
I used to enjoy music for all its non musical reasons.
it took effort to purify it, music is a beautiful thing
and if you need superficial things like the ones listed, for
you to get more feels from your music, then either A your music
sucks or you just naturally aren't a big fan of music. maybe another
form of art may scratch that itch for you

>I listen to music because fuck, what else am I gonna do

>>73547443
accurate

I listen to music because they use music in porn so it must be good

a good way to get started is to listen to classical.
no one really gives a shit about classical so it doesnt have a crowd for you to try to fit in to look cool.
it doesnt follow an image because we dont know/depict what attitudes people had back then so you can't listen to it to act/look a certain way.
it is made purely with the intent of sounding beautiful and displaying the beauty in gods voice, it wasnt made to woo girls or give the finger to the last generation. It is purely inspired by music and that is it. If you listen to classical and it bores you then listen to it more. like anything else on /mu/
Listen to mainstream classical, even beethoven's 5th symphony is a beautiful piece of work that often flies past our head because it is used so often
in mainstream media that we forget to actually listen closely to it, its become background music to dog treat commercials.
Close your eyes if you have to, its a kind of meditation, and focus on the sounds only, the intervals, what feels good, whatever seems to be saying
something

The only reason I listen to the pretentious hipster garbage recommended by pitchfork and /mu/ is to fuck hipster chicks

>>73547598
you may be right because music in its pure form
can be a very boring thing to some people
so you're making a good point.
it dies at some point and may be a good path to getting fucked

Oh, it's another thread about people pretending to have outrageous opinions, and people pretending to be angry about it.
