TheManMachine: ~"i listen to everything except country and rap"~

ArsMoriendi 04.06.18	"i listen to everything except country and rap" means "i listen to everything on the top 40 except country and rap"
brainmelter 04.06.18	nice on 9, cool album covers
Get Low 04.06.18	"list is stuff that people definitely don't and wouldn't listen to"*
StallionMang 04.06.18	crossed out is so tasty yess
Beautiful 04.06.18	it's dumb to say that about rap but understandable with country because it sux
brainmelter 04.06.18	'~'
foxblood 04.06.18	so true dude. i've heard this so many times and i'm always like 'so you listen to harsh noise, slamming brutal death metal, tuvan throat singing etc.?' and they always look at me like i've got lobsters crawling out of my ears. no one listens to everything, not even someone like SandwichBubble listens to every genre or anything close to it
Snake. 04.06.18	good list
theBoneyKing 04.06.18	it’s dumb to say that about country but understandable with rap because it sux
Feather 04.06.18	"i listen to everything except country and rap" means "i listen to everything on the top 40 except country and rap" [2] God I hate when music comes up with new people I meet and their response is "I listen to everything" blahhhhhhhhh
Dedes 04.06.18	Yeah, that's usually the answer they have when their taste is either completely non existent or incredibly, unfortunately basic.
Kompys2000 04.06.18	Like seriously, just pick your favorite genre and say that, so we actually have something to talk about. It's such a non-response. And if it's pop, who cares? Lots of people like pop, that's what makes it pop- its POPularity!
RippingCorpse1986 04.06.18	I thought this was a king list by the name.
Toad 04.06.18	the "i listen to everything except country and rap" comes from not considering genres like metal, noise, techno to be music. like it's not intentional, it's just not stuff that people think of when they think of music - they think of it as weird art noise that weird people like to seem cool at least i think this is what my general mindset was when i used to say "everything but rap and country"
BlazinBlitzer 04.06.18	"not even someone like SandwichBubble listens to every genre or anything close to it" Idk, I think he's getting there.
foxblood 04.06.18	i think you're right toad. people that say that are the type that aren't too picky when it comes to common radio junk but have no idea what any metal genres are so they aren't really taken into consideration. idk, it's too hard for me to think in such simple terms when it comes to music, as it must be for most sputnik users
foxblood 04.06.18	nah sandwich listens to a loooot but very little metal sub genres and not much hip-hop as well I believe. he's still closer than all of us
Sniff 04.06.18	basic
TheSpaceMan 04.06.18	two people, one who claims to listen to everything but country + rap and another who is bothered by that statement and jams every subgenre of metal, both walk into a bar. one has a good time and leaves with a girl, the other doesnt
Kompys2000 04.06.18	Damn, well that's the thread I guess.
osmark86 04.06.18	If you get this response you might as well steer the convo elsewhere
Storm In A Teacup 04.06.18	put on my blue suede shoes and i boarded the plane touched down and landed in the delta blues in the middle of the pouring rain yeah i got a first class ticket but im as blue as a boy can be then i was walking in memphis but do i really feel the way i feel saw the ghost of elvis on junior avenue there's a pretty little thing waiting for the king down in the jungle room!
Storm In A Teacup 04.06.18	"i listen to everything but country + rap " said no one living in Oklahoma ever lol
Demon of the Fall 04.06.18	I well on my way to being able to say this legitimately to be honest. In fact I might purposefully leave these two genres till last. Surely it counts if you've attempted listening to stuff but don't jam regularly? You don't have to LIKE everything. I get what you mean though, just messing.
Storm In A Teacup 04.06.18	lame
combustion07 04.06.18	I normally say this but strictly because I know the person I'm talking to won't give a shit about most anything I'm into. Want to get to know my music taste we can chill and you'll figure it out
Demon of the Fall 04.06.18	^ that's another good reason, although probably not the best way of actually finding out IF they do care, guess they could surprise you.
combustion07 04.06.18	I work weird hours so normally if I'm talking to someone I'm not already cool with they're either a weirdo tweaker or someone I've met at a show and we already have common ground. Just depends on the situation really. Around here though my fairly narrow taste is normally massive to most people I bump into
Storm In A Teacup 04.06.18	"What kind of music do you listen to" "I like melodic death metal, post-hardcore, conscience trap, pop, folk, trip hop, dream pop, and country" Yeah, that'll work. lol
Demon of the Fall 04.06.18	@combustion: Fair enough. My taste isn't exactly outlandish in Sput terms but compared to the general populous I listen to a lot of 'weird' stuff apparently.
Storm In A Teacup 04.06.18	I mean I've tried doing that but it depends on the person you're talking to and the situation/environment, what conversation already has been had.
Deathconscious 04.06.18	This is dumb.
hal1ax 04.06.18	correct
combustion07 04.06.18	Ding
Demon of the Fall 04.06.18	List needs more Autechre
combustion07 04.06.18	I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA BOUT WHAT'S GOIN ON
DoofusWainwright 04.06.18	Country and rap are both awful but I still spin both a lot because my taste is awful
Demon of the Fall 04.06.18	Listen to awful music 90% of the time in order to prove eclecticism & maintain objectivity, it's the path to enlightenment, the unhappiness is just a bonus.
DoofusWainwright 04.06.18	Exactly, Demon gets it
DadKungFu 04.06.18	Awful music is the only good music tbh
foxblood 04.06.18	'Awful music is the only good music tbh' fantastic statement right there, same thing goes for movies btw
WatchItExplode 04.06.18	so much wisdom in this thread
Beautiful 04.06.18	Bop to the right now bop to the right bop to the left now bop to the left kemo walk kemo walk do it by yourself look up look right KEMO STEP look up look left KEMO STEP
combustion07 04.06.18	I caught your groove Beautiful
JoeTex 04.06.18	rap is the best genre. or at least top 3 behind jazz and blues
Demon of the Fall 04.06.18	@darius: thanks, that’s high praise indeed because the standards are just so damn high :-).
Trophycase 04.06.18	"God I hate when music comes up with new people I meet and their response is "I listen to everything" blahhhhhhhhh" When the average person doesn't even know what basic music genres are, it's a lot easier to just say this than "oh yeah I really like noise rock and post-metal" and get blank stares, or list a bunch of bands that they probably haven't heard of. If they care enough to ask further, then you can start getting specific I guess
