I remember when heard Fireflies on the radio for the first time. That's what introduced me to Owl City in the first place.

 

[Cherrim]

They wouldn't be the only one who agrees it's a bad thing. >:|

I don't confine myself to one genre of music because there tends to be such a range out there that I prefer diversity. Listening to the same kind of song over and over can make me feel as though I'm exhausting that genre too much and would be put off it for a while, so I'm definitely not a fan of doing that. @_@

I don't know anyone who outright confines themselves to one genre but surely you have a certain type of music you tend to listen to more than others.

For me the only genre I almost consistently dislike is country, haha.

I kid you not, more often than not I tend to play and shuffle through song collection that contains a variety of genres. I've tried staying true to just one genre a few years ago and that was mostly Synthpop, but that had the same effect on me as would keeping a song on repeat for hours on end. It became tedious. :\

Admittedly, there are times I become in the mood to listen to a string of songs from the same genre, I guess it depends on my mood at the end of the day. D;

Sort of related, when I'm listening to an album, I prefer the album to sound sort of the same. All the tracks on the album should sound somewhat similar for me to be able to listen to it all. It has to have some sort of synergy that brings it all together. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'll listen to an album that doesn't have songs that sound kind of the same and enjoy it, but for me to really get into it, I need to have a sense of similarity. It's kind of weird, though, because my favorite album, The ArchAndroid, doesn't sound the same at all, but the tracks tie into eachother and... lol, rambling.

But I used to confine myself to alternative a few years back. I used to think pop was trashy.

 

[Gabri]

Justin Bieber. Kek.
Seriously, how the hell can he even be a singer.

I don't really care about if stuff is recent or not. I don't listen to a certain kind of music just because it's recent. If I like stuff released in the 80's or 90's, I listen to it. The best Metal stuff is from that era, for example.

Metal is my favourite genre, but sometimes I also find myself listening to some rock music, like Red Hot Chili Peppers, or Guns 'n' Roses, or even grunge like Pearl Jam. And other times, I even listen to something more into electronic like Pendulum.
But Megadeth is pure PWNAGE.

Genres I can't stand listening to are pop music and rap. Seriously. Get those away from me, kthnx.

 

[Nick]

Justin Bieber can sing. I think his voice, now that it's a little lower, is more appropriate for R&B than pop, though. His acoustic cover songs are nice.

 

[Signomi]

I don't really give a tossing turnip about Justin Bieber and his singing, what annoys me more is his immensely vast and obnoxious fan base.

That sounds really weird to me. I don't like mixing genres. I find it really disorienting when I'm listening to, say, orchestral music and the very next thing on shuffle is heavy metal and then to a pop ballad. D: It breaks my concentration so when I listen to music, I tend to just pick a CD or an album and put that on. If it's too repetitive, I might grab a few similar ones and put them on shuffle.

Really, I'd say it's the producer & mixer's faults if an album can't be listened to all the way through with ease. :( It's their (or SOMEONE'S, anyway) job to make sure it's mixed well and that each song flows into the next one fairly easily so that the only way the CD jolts you out of easy listening is if it's on purpose. u_u;

 

[Nick]

I totally agree. I think the main reason people dislike him so much is because of his fans stans. They're pretty crazy.

Edit: @Erica - I didn't know if anyone else who thought songs should sort of sound the same before!! Most of the time people complain that they sound similar, and I'm like, well... it IS an album. @___@

 

[インフェルノの津波]

I found it interesting that a records executive found Bieber by clickling on his profile accidentally. He was looking for talent, apparently.

 

[Gabri]

This.

The problem with music is that it's becoming much more of a business than an art. And that's really bad in my opinion.

Well if it gives my music arrangement a bit more clarity, I tend to not mix overwhelming contrasts together. Can't say I'm fond of anything that's too heavy and would ring my eardrums too much if I listened to it, especially straight after a fairly decent song. I suppose that's one reason why I'm not exactly fond of heavy metal music, or at least not mixed with the sort of playlist I like putting on. :<

 

[インフェルノの津波]

Well, I can't sympathize with any of you. I was a music hater till I heard the sweet words coming off of Flow's lips.

It was love at first sound.

 

[Cherrim]

I hear ya. I'm not a very big fan of heavy metal either. D: Only band in the genre like is Iron Maiden and even then I only like... I guess some of their softer songs? Something like that. Most other heavy metal I hear just ends up sounding like noise to me. ._.

Well, I like Metallica too but apparently there are disputes that they're even in the genre. I always considered them more rock than metal anyway.

 

[インフェルノの津波]

No offense to any of you, but at most times it is. I only listen to J-Pop/Rock because I somehow enjoy it more than English songs.

Alright, gotta go get Community Service Credit. See-ya.

 

[Cherrim]

J-Pop blurs together for me and I can't tell a lot of songs apart. I used to love it and J-Rock though. Now I only end up listening to songs or artists I find because they did an anime/game OP/ED that I liked though. :/

 

[Signomi]

I rather enjoy J-rock/pop as well, mostly because of Jorge's influence. And coming back to heavy metal, I can sympathise with you, Erica, when you say most heavy metal music you hear ends up sounding like noise. A lot of the time it's just a bunch of screaming and intense instruments that really enforce the ringing inside my ears.

I sometimes don't see where the appeal lies in this sort of music, but it's a taste for other people I guess.

 

[Cherrim]

Yeah, same. I know some people like it since a friend went through a phase of liking that and screamo and would often have me listen to that stuff too but it never once clicked for me. Mostly just gave me a headache. :(

 

[WriteThemWrong]

love songs for me, that's really all i listen to. i have a playlist of nothing but love songs and it's constantly playing. it has a lot of sinatra, dean martin, some maroon 5, and one lindsay lohan song

 

[Signomi]

Ah Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin... I grew up with those two and a couple of other vintage artists because my dad was and still is a big fan.
