You are deliberately shutting us all out for telling you that doesn't matter

why do you let discourse predicate the way you approach music to this extent?
online music discourse is a singularly joyless crock of shite unless you're dipping into it relative to your taste and not the other way round
take a week (or longer), go off-piste and find a way of scouting stuff without consulting rym or any similar site (bandcamp, yt trawling, related lastfm artists, whatever), and do not go back to them until you know where you stand with whatever you've found. carry on defining yourself against buzzquotes and rym algorithms, and you can have fun spending the rest of your life apologising for other people's bullshit you didn't have the good sense to ignore

it's less influencing my opinions and more making me feel frustrated that I feel like I'm turning into the same elitist I had an issue with because I can't get into certain albums that feel like they should be a slam dunk. Offhand comments like what started this are no different than what I used to be told.

Some people are going to dislike music you like and vice versa. If you come to a music discussion forum it is likely these disagreements will be voiced. Fwiw I don’t see anyone acting toxic in the rym discussion for Parannoul and you have a history of conflating people disagreeing with you with people trying to attack you and that is not a recipe for either you to enjoy music as a passion or to form meaningful relationships and community with people based on that enjoyment

Also fwiw what you said to jumpstart this thread isn’t horrible or anything either, we’ve all poked a thread of something we’re not keen on, but you gotta divorce a little jab in fun with antagonism and bullying targeted at you directly

hmm you made me look up the (RYM) top 10 for post rock and hit no.3 before I was l thinking “I don’t have this 4d… I’m a poser!”

then ALARMINGLY I haven’t even heard of no.9 because wait what it came out the other week lol, what is Huremic? 2.3k ratings. Bizarre. Oh it’s Parannoul related. Pika sniffed that one out

I failed. I’m not a post rock fan (apparently). I’m okay with this!

last i checked there was some bozo saying people were "pretending parannoul is a genius", I was not the biggest fan of his music prior (brickwall production is a hit or miss quality in my eyes) but the huremic album had me in tears on listen 1. i think once it drops from #1 the discourse will hopefully chill out tho

...like the elitists that call you a poser for not loving all the classics? can you ever win in your own head?

ehhhh despite my hangups, they also put me on Jane Remover and other artists I may not have found without the community so I'm okay with occasionally being frustrated when I don't feel it with something. with any community you have to take the good with the bad and they balance out alright enough

“In my professional opinion you should block yourself from that site”

What about the database tho? Hmm yeah I guess if you can’t stay off the discussion parts of the site this might be for the best, lol (I’m none the wiser tho really, I just see the review comments)

probably can’t beat the Sput community / RYM database pillaging combo, for the correct balance
