Okay, this includes musicals, such as HAMILTON i do understand how one would like it, but musicals aint my thing.

anD K-POP I DON’T UNDERTAND THE MOST WYH

I’m not trying to ridicule, I just want to meet others who are frusturated with the pop culture as I am.

@yeetus

No
I like classical but there are like 10 pop songs I like, and they are old as hell

Yes, I'm here. And I hate how when I try to bring this up, I've literally had people mock me like, "Oh, I don't like mainstream stuff. I'm sooooo cool."
Uhhhhh please let me listen to my 90s grunge in peace.

@yeetus

Agree
It's also my parent's influence
Their playlist consists of songs 5-20 years old

I like musicals, but besides Hamilton all the ones I like are like niche ones, not massive ones, and to be honest I would've loved Hamilton even if it wasn't popular because I'm a history buff with a special love for the American Revolution. My friends like K-Pop and yeah I can listen to it, but I listen to music for the lyrics and the beat, and the lyrics being in another language is a dealbreaker for me. I mostly listen to Broadway, instrumental movie scoring, and Disney/animated kid's movie film songs.

Also, whenever a K-Pop meme or whatever shows up, can you not help rolling your eyes?

Because that’s the exact thing i do

@yeetus

I can literally sing better than some of the mainstream singers

Honestly same and I'm not even that good. Once my friends and I got into a debate about The Greatest Showman and I said I didn't like Rewrite The Stars because I think it's weak and cliche and Zac Efron's voice isn't that good and I legitamently listed 10 singers (all Broadway I think) who sing better than him and they were awestruck.

@yeetus

Good job

My only problem with K-pop is that my friend who likes k-pop I'm not really friends with anymore? Like she wasn't the best person to begin with, and literally every other sentence that came out of her mouth was about k-pop. And also I'm not into shipping band members together, which seems to be a widespread thing there, not to say other genres don't do it. I like music in other languages, but I mostly listen to music in English anyway.

@yeetus

Some singers are popular because they're pretty
Like WTF, just be a model instead

group
@Becfromthedead group

^^^Yes. Anyone can use auto tune or whatever it is nowadays. No thanks. I prefer my talent raw.

@yeetus

But there are the really good ones
Except they're like, really underrated

If you wanna check out underrated artists Woodkid’s The Golden Age album is super good.

Also can we talk about the concept of "star quality" and how people will favor that over actual talent? I mean like charisma, looks (which we already mentioned), style, poise, etc. Why are those so much more important than having the best voice? Other than said singer not being a terrible person, I don't care about star quality, just about good music.

@yeetus

I think singing quality is the most important. Like, I need music to work, so I'll be like doing algebra and not staring at the said artist's face

group
@Becfromthedead group

The only issue is that a lot of the music I listen to either gets me moving or moves me emotionally to the point I'm almost driven to tears. So I listen to music while I work; it pumps me up. But… oof. Good music just does something to me that's hard to explain. I'm sitting in bed listening to Brandi Carlile, and I almost started sobbing because she's an angel.

@yeetus

I get bored easily if I had to do homework without music

group
@Becfromthedead group

Same. Plus the type of music I listen to often has a driving beat, so it's kind of figuratively pushing forwards, and it's very motivating.

@yeetus

I have a habit to listen to the same song like hours until I can sing it and then uses it in my playlist

I like Broadway/Theatre shows because there is no autotune. You go up there and sing and it's good or it's not, there's no chance to mess around and change your voice.

@yeetus

That's a good point

@basil_

I listen to smaller musicals and I do listen to hamilton because i think it's amazing but I don't really like listening to the radio because it never plays any of the songs and types of music i like

@yeetus

Yeah
The radio songs are always stupid

@maddie_m_880

In my opinion, 60s and 70s were the best, musically wise

Also I really like The Beatles. I know they're old, but they're literally what got me into music.
