One of my coworkers told me once that she gives vague answers like “I listen to everything” because she doesn’t want to talk about music with people. She was like “no one knows the obscure Korean pop I’m listening to so I just don’t want to go into it”.
Which I kind of get. She put some thought into it and it was a tactical answer.
I just say “all kinds of stuff. Depends on my mood.” Sometimes I like wacky metal, sometimes I’m over it. Same goes for outlaw country or hip hop or punk or whatever.
in the car:
“what do we wanna listen to? name a band!”
“whatever’s fine”
“no seriously! just give me a name!”
“ok. goatwhore.”
“what?”
“GOAT. WHORE.”
“…”
“…”
“…i’m gonna put on some nice ambient electronic…”
I like metal. I don’t like discussing metal. I tell people I listen to everything, but what it literally means is I’m not offended by anything you play.
I like very specific metal and can’t even discuss metal with metal heads, because my taste is too basic, so I get you.
I just want intense music with a story.
So… Sabaton, right?
Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Testament, and some Pantera. People online shit all over them for whatever reasons. Megadeth and Pantera, I get. Lead singers are both assholes.
You might like SymphonyX - The Odyssey.
Checking back definitely love Symphony X now!! Going to check out Odyssey today.
I’m very jealous… wish I could listen to it for the first time again :)
