Why do you like the kind of music you like?
    #7905105 - 01/20/08 09:40 AM (16 years, 12 days ago)

So what's everyones reason for liking the music you like so much?

Personally, I love electronic music. I can't get over how precise all the notes are (being a drummer im all about keepin shit clean!!! :smile: ) I also love how in alot of the songs that are 'neverending' you can listen to the bass drum subtly morph in between songs to fit the feel of the next song. I absolutely LOVE that. Bass drums morphing = lifegasm!!!!! lol.

I view electronic music as the soundtrack to life. literally everywhere i go i listen to it and it just seems to always fit perfectly with the things im seeing go by (i.e. driving in my car or taking a walk.....) More often then not, the music will actually line up to a real life event. like say im stopped at a stop light, a new song will start on the red, go through the intro, and then right when all the parts come in on the song and things get moving, the light turns green. crazy shit. happens every day.

anyway whats YOUR reason for loving your music?

Hip hop has the best of both worlds. Great beats and superb linguistics.

Ahhh see you just reminded me of another reason i like electronic music: VERY FEW WORDS!!! And even if there are, they're usually just an accompianment to the music, not vice versa.

none of this is to say i dont like regular music as well, quite the contrary i love music in general. but the constant thumps of the electronic world are what make me happiest. :smile:

MrMatthew, what kind of electronic music are you talking about? That is an incredibly broad medium encompassing many genres.

I like some electronic. CBLF, Boards of Canada, Infected Mushroom and some others.

Why don't you like words? They add so much depth that beats alone cannot touch.

Good point.

I LISTEN to psytrance, trance, dub, DnB, and Younger Brother (dont think they have a classifiable genre).

However, by electronic, I mean a music that includes at least a few parts that were entirely synthesized by some guy. For example, I recently wrote a song which i have a thread about in the music forums. if you listen to it you'll note that the intro is a not-so-natural noise and the main solo part resembles a guitar. however both sounds dont naturally exist.

so i guess by electronic i mean non-natural music.

Im beginning to think we may be like polar opposites when it comes to music lol. but that could make for some ridiculously intellectual conversations!!! anyway i dont like words because, oddly enough, I think they keep the song from having depth. its like someone is sitting next to you talking in your ear while youre trying to hear that faint faint part wayyyyyyy in the background :wink:


EDIT: When I listen to music, I already hear it talking. I dont need words to tell me what the song is trying to say.

Okay, but without words the depth you find is all on your side. You create the depth as opposed to someone else creating the depth for you. If that makes sense.

Well, Black Metal is what I mainly listen to and I'd have to say that it's because of the layers of things to be heard. It's not extremely technical but it's also not 3-chord rock. The atmosphere is another thing. Atmosphere can transport you to another dimension, be it a cold winter forest or a dark castle or on the hilltops as the sun rises/sets; with eyes closed, atmosphere is everything. Also, the reverence for nature often found in BM is a nice thing. Plus, it's a good release whether I'm in a good mood or a bad mood. The rawness and dirty-sounding production is another appealing factor, often giving way to the atmosphere. Plus, the vocals are extremely interesting, oftentimes sounding like a hateful being vocalizing its deepest, darkest desires. Which brings me to the lyrics. Usually dealing with Satanism (both LaVeyan and actual Devil-worship), anti-religious themes, nihilism (although nihilism is more prevalent in Death Metal and Grindcore), Paganism, Nationalism (in a few bands), and nature. Not necessarily things I believe in but all very interesting nonetheless.

I listen to mostly indie/experimental/psychedelic rock, but i'm open for pretty much anything. What I enjoy most is innovative stuff... something that sounds unlike anything you've ever heard. My personal favorites are Modest Mouse, Death Cab, Pixies, Flaming Lips, Ambulance LTD, Dead Meadow, The Shins, Cursive, etc.

Death Cab as in Death Cab for Cutie?  Cause Soul Meets Body is a cool song :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

EDIT: I also value uniqueness in the music i listen to. the more unlike everything else something sounds like the better :smile:

Well my taste in music goes into the genres of psychedelic and ambient, why? Because I'm all about tripping lol. Shpongle is my favorite band, it's been that way ever since I've smoked DMT, probably has something to do with their music being influenced by DMT lol. I used to be into techno/trance and then psytrance but I don't like it as much now because I don't like regular beats anymore, it's just too monotonous for my taste now. I like stuff that's unpredictable and crazy. I still listen to Infected Mushroom every now and then though.
And I also don't like singing in music because I listen to music for the music, not to hear people talk, although the little singing that shpongle has in their songs fits nicely.

I like the kind of music I like for various reasons;

One being is that it sounds very good to my ears. Basically when I hear the music, I enjoy what I'm hearing.
I like music that challenges me.
I like the energy the music gives off.
I like the atmosphere and the places it takes me.
I like the musicianship and the technical skill of it.
I like the lyrics.
I like the heaviness or speed of the music.


There's heaps more reasons behind whenever I find a certain band appealing to me. It also depends on the genre because I enjoy more than one; metal (grindcore, death, black, thrash, progressive, atmospheric, experimental), rock, electronic, jazz, country, punk, ambient, and things I can't even find a label for.

I like any music that lets my imagination flow. This can be from the cheesiest 80's pop to death metal to primitive world music. Though I almost always hate alternative rock because it's mainly lyrics and "dry" guitar.

The problem with a lot of pop now IMO is the lack of structured beat, and annoyingly busy lyrics. Not a lot of melody and too much flash.
