I am far from a music snob. I don't like when people ask me what I listen to. I know why they're asking. You want to judge me. You want to see if I'm basic. Of course, I have to be if I don't like the same music as you, right? You would never be cliché. But honestly, all music has fans so it all has to be mainstream in some way- even if its mainstream for different kinds of people.
If I hear a song and I like it then that is pretty much the end of it. There's some music I never hear because I never like it. I don't like jazz and I don't like country. Well, I don't like newer country. I used to only listen to it when I was younger so I like the old stuff. All the "I like beer and trucks" stuff doesn't appeal to me. I am a lyric person. Music is fine but I am about the words most of the time. I used to write poetry and I think that has a little something to do with it.
I don't judge you based on what you like. It depends on what is going on in my life, how I feel, and what I am doing. If I am in a spin class you better believe some "basic" hot and popular music is perfect for me. If I am sad I don't give a fuck about genre I'm going to listen to what speaks to me. I even love Indian pop music. If anything I think being married to one kind of music is more basic than having an eclectic taste (but that is just me).
I typically get obsessed with someone and then listen to it until I need to take a year break. I can't help it. When I love I love hard. That includes every type of love.
Anyway, at the end of this rant I will tell you that I've had a hard on for die antwoord for a long time and I haven't really gotten tired of them. THEN I saw them in concert in October and it melted my face off. Can I jump around for over an hour straight? Turns out I can. I couldn't stop despite the cramp in my side and the sweat rolling off of me.
My most recent obsession has been K. Flay. All of it. So maybe that'll give you a little idea of how I have been feeling lately.
