There are 3 types of people who say: "I listen to everything" 1. Those who listen to the 2 most popular genres in the country 2. Those who don't want to be judged 3. Those that listen to literally everything and you are horrified by their spotify playlist
I'd be number 3 lol. My spotify playlist has some wild stuff, but youtube is different then what I listen to in the car...then what I own...my vinyl is a whole other thing. Then I also grew up listening to what my parents like and I wound up liking a lot of that. Yeah. It's all over the place. There are things I don't like though. That's probably where to start lol
That doesn't cover it all. There are people who really do just like all forms of music, generally speaking. Not every single little variation or song, of course, but basically all types of music.
Love how the sketch flips from judging the music enjoyer to understanding them and in the end, judges the judger, thus turning the camera back on the viewer and asking them to reflect inward. Man is truly Carrying social commentary.
Life hack: Answer "What music do you like?" with "Anything good." And then whatever they name, say, "eww, I said I like *good* music." Great way to make new friends!
So true. The annoying-because-they-say-they-like-all-music people are the monstrosities created by the evil I-look-down-on-people-for-their-subjective-preferences wankers.
As a former "I like every type of music" guy, I can confirm what we really mean is "every time I discover music on my own everybody hates it and gives me weird looks like my tastes say a lot about me psychologically. So I'm just not gonna be the music guy and let you play what you like instead."
Exactly, funnily enough I said this on another one of this channel's videos, but something about music just turns people into the most nitpicky and judgemental assholes. In fact my own brother is just like the guy in this clip, right down to hating Lin-Manuel Miranda.
I used to hate I like all music people. But then I started listening to everything from Playboi Carti(Party Rap) to Merzbow(Harsh Noise) to The Pine Box Boys(Horror Country) and realized I had become what I hated.
I used to be in that boat until I discovered Poor Man's Poison, and if I think the other person will enjoy them I'll suggest that. Otherwise I literally do not care what is playing, and I cannot properly articulate that other than to say, "I enjoy everything"
I personally don't have any particular like or dislike tho, just hearing what's on radio without actually listening. Like, it took me months to notice that some particular song that I quite enjoy is actually 2 different song, with different artists and genre.
That whole album is terrific. People always talk about Temporary Secretary, but what about absolute bangers like Check My Machine and All You Horse Riders?
I'm a truck driver who drives in teams. Every time I meet a new co-driver, one of the first questions is: "What kind of music do you like?" This is such a loaded question at this point. Like your whole relationship with that person is literally going to hinge on the response. "Anything" or "doesn't matter" are the only reasonable responses, because you know if you are actually honest you are going to get judged as a person immediately. You can't just say you listen exclusively to anime openings in a blue collar industry like trucking. No. You are going to listen to 1950's vaguely racist country songs and you are going to like it.
What, he likes the short skits about everyday situations, the satirical skits about current events/discourse, the fake interviews, the book reviews, and the video essays?! Impossible!
A professor of mine once asked us not what music we most enjoy but what we've most recently been into. While that definitely didn't remove every possibility of judgment, I ultimately felt it a more interesting and easier to answer question. Plus you get to find out who's still listening to Hamilton like this dude.
Most recent plays: Taylor Swift - Folklore, Evermore Dead can dance - aion, towards the within, Lisa Gerrard solo The Mirror Pool REM - monster Brutal Truth - need to control Wormrot - hiss
I find it so odd that when you say you listen to everything people always say "do you listen to Tibetan throat singing?" Throat singing is objectively awesome, those mfs sing two notes at once.
My goto as of late has been hyperpop. It's great and I love it, but people who aren't used to it tend to have comical reactions listening to the harder stuff for the first time, so it works better than Tibetan Throat singing, lol
Literally just name stuff you like, until you have something in common with the person and then talk about it. Bam, now you're a better conversationalist then the guy who says "everything"
@@Viraus2 In a one on one conversation, yes, but you still have to be careful that you aren't just listing a bunch of stuff that they don't care about so by the time you get to something they like they've completely checked out.
@@Viraus2 yeah, but that's kind of the point I think. Saying "everything" just means "I do not want to talk about music with you". People who want to talk about music will do so, people who don't won't. Different strokes etc etc.
One thing that i have noticed is that people who listen to "everything" rarely listen to jazz or (non-mainstream) metal. Most of the people i've talked to that says "everything" actually mean to say "everything on radio/top hits"
@@KevinUchihaOG Honestly, I listen to less pop music than jazz but I definitely don't literally listen to everything, just such a wide range that there's no neat way of describing it.
@@a.i.l1074 I agree that most pop music can be very annoying, but part of that comes from how often it's played. Granted, that's not much of a problem for me anymore since I don't have to listen to the radio, but when I did it got annoying. Also, most rap and rock music has never been my thing. There are exceptions of course, but most of it doesn't gel with me.
@@Damon_Blue Then what do you like? Rock has so many subgenres and different moods and feels that i find it hard that there isn't subgenres you would like.
@@gsly6081 I do like slower rock music (gentler? I don't know the term for it. Think The Beatles). It's just that when I say "rock music" I usually think of louder, more abrasive songs, which I'm not a fan of. I know it's not all like that, and there are even a few louder rock songs that I like. I know it's a meme, but Bad to the Bone is genuinely a fun song that I like to listen to. Most rock songs however aren't my thing.
@@Damon_Blue Yeah there's tons of "rock" genres that are a bit more gentler, etc. And even bands that have an abrasive sound usually have some softer songs and ballads, etc.
I think the internet really made identifying yourself by the genres you listen to obsolete. Back in the day people would gravitate to their regular section of the music store, and listen to the same radio station, and that was most of the music they listened to. Nowadays people listen to stuff they would never have considered because so much diverse music is so easy to find.
As a kid I only listened to classic rock, and Rush was my favorite band. Then I got into Pink Floyd, then I got into vinyl which led me to googling "best albums to own on vinyl", and so I went down the top 100 list and that's what cracked my shell. Now I can really appreciate any well-written song, or at least well-produced. I'm thankful I didn't get stuck in the loop of previous generations. Hell, my grandma could only name one song she liked and it was a civil war song about steamboats on the Mississippi. Which is badass but she was in her 20's during the peak of music, I'm not sure how she missed out.
Radiohead and Kendrick elitism can get pretty insane. I said on the Kendrick subreddit that there are several “lesser than” albums I prefer to TPAB, and they downvoted me.
@@prettierjesus3119 I don’t really listen to those two artists and was referencing the website “Rate Your Music”. I do however encounter Pink Floyd fans that can be that way especially when AHM is my personal favorite album from them
You laugh but I clicked off my Spotify playlist of Civil War music, Gospel, motivational film soundtracks, WWE themes, Weird Al, early 2000s pop and horror movie music to watch this
Oh the plot twist, i thought you were gonna make fun of the guy but it turns out he was right all along. It is not pretentiousness that motivate his attitude but his intuition. I should aspire to be the one who likes all music.
This is me. Not wanting to say pop or hip hop and be put in a stereotypical box, not wanting to say metal and sound like "I'm not like other black people". 😩😩
@@ictogon ah but I don't listen to that. I only really like 00s pop, bad bitch rap and doom/power metal... Hey I summed up my music tastes pretty easy after all
I was assumed to have known a particular dance from 50 Cent because of my skin color and lived in Atlanta, which I didn't and never heard of the song (I do like rap, just never came across it). They said my black card was revoked.
This is a really tough question for me to answer not just out of fear of judgement, but also because it's very uncommon for me to like any artist beyond a few of their songs and there isn't a consistent pattern in terns of what draws me to a song. I'm also someone who enjoys listening to the same song on repeat for hours/days in a row, so I get a tremendous amount of mileage out of individual songs.
I was that way my whole life until I found a particular genre and bands that just clicked for me. Then I realized I was actually comfortable listening to these bands for years and likely couldn't wear then out.
Yeah this is it for me. When I was younger I put in work of knowing bands & artists & genres, but now... Can't say, like, "been big on Pixies lately". Cuz if the person is into them and asks follow up questions, only to realize I meant I've played "Where is My Mind" on repeat all week since I happened to watch some video that referenced Fight Club and it got stuck in my head... then I am cringe. I really need an honest way to answer this question, looking for suggestions. "Oh you know - I love a plethora of diverse earworms we've all been culturally overexposed to throughout the years. Plus some random stuff I happened to get into when I was a teenager."
@@Suzanne4415 For me, it's not that I listen to the same songs on repeat ad nauseum that I feel self-conscious about. I'm autistic and enjoying music this way is a very common autistic trait, and I like openly acknowledging that as a way to help normalize different neurotypes. Where I do get self-conscious is when it comes to WHICH songs I hyperfixate on.
@@aquatictrotsky1067 I mean, me too I suppose - I don't feel self conscious about binging one song, but when it's a band's one massive mainstream hit and I don't really know any of their other work, I feel like the honest answer isn't so much "I like [name of band]" as "I like (some) massive super hits".
@@crazybalrog4033 It's so weird people try to hide they like Kanye or feel bad for listening to him. I didn't even know that was a thing until I met a snowflake who said she felt bad for listening to "Carnival" like what? Who are you hurting by listening to a song you like... so stupid.. Just because he's said things you don't agree with doesn't make him this horrible person who's music you can no longer admire.
@@hey9433Anyone can listen to what they want to listen to but he is a terrible person. He is directly influencing a lot of people to hate a group of people for no reason. Being hateful and influencing a lot of other people to do the same is arguably as bad as you can get
@@ewest14 He's not hateful.... because he exposed the truth about "them" pulling the puppet strings he's a hateful person...? He has literally said he loves everyone, even Hitl3r. How much further from hateful can you get. On the other hand he's recently become unhinged and posted inappropriate things I disagree with. But it's not anything that would completely keep me from telling someone I like his music..
As a guy who says "I listen to every type of music" I actually mean "I have no idea what genre this is, I just add random songs I liked or random artist without checking what type of music they make because I don't care about the genre, I just care if I like the song"
right? if i were asked this question i'd have to go and check. i listen to music for hours every day and have zero idea who/what i've been listening to lately.
Music genres wasn’t something I ever cared about as long as the music itself sounded good. Like, for a very long time until I was in my late teens, I wouldn’t really understand why do people stick to specific genres. I always said that I like all music and by that I meant I listen to any music genre. Now that I more or less understanding the idea of different music genres, I realise just how weird my playlist looks. There are disco, blues, jazz, heavy metal, kpop and hiphop tracks going back to back 😭
I once dated a guy who "likes every type of music from classical to rap". So we told our favourite artists to each other. I tried to say my opinions about his artists in nice way (like "this sounds great for running"). Aaannd his opinions about my artists were "blargh, I don't like music which is older than 90's".
@@Hammerbruder99 Problem is, I don't even know how to _honestly_ answer the question. My musical taste is all over the place and I can't really summarise it...
You can answer in genre percentages. I'm 40% punk and hardcore 20% metal 15% goth/post punk 10% ska and reggae 8% hip hop 5% folk and blues 2% country That's not too wordy and it gives you the basic idea but is more specific than "mostly punk and metal but otherwise everything". And it gives people an opening even if their major is your minor.
@@asafoetidajones8181 Too specific. No way. I have no idea what my percentages are and I'm not interested in finding out. And there's a lot of music I listen to where I don't even know in which genre it fits the best.
But when I say everything I legitimately mean everything... My main philosophy is that everything that is enjoyed can be come to be enjoyed by someone else assuming no personal negative experiences or harm on another human being. When it comes to music that often means having no set preferred music style and just letting the mood lead. It's frustrating because no one takes me seriously if I say that, it almost easier to lie and say I don't listen to music, that way they don't judge you lmao
Whenever people ask me what kind of music do I like, I just say anything, why? Because while I may not like every song ever made, I have found songs I like even in music genres that I don't normally listen to. I like rap, jazz, classical, pop, rock, metal, funk, house, swing If you want to play a song that you like, just fuckin play it, maybe I'll like it, maybe not, I'm not locking myself into liking only one type of thing just for you buddy
I do actually like almost everytype of music. Like, my taste in music is so fucked I could hear a construction site nearby and be like "OH Yeahh, this fucks!!". I remember I showed an album to a classmate when I said I couldn't stop remembering a song in my head, and he said I had an *"extravagant taste in music"* lmao
I personally enjoy going on my pretentious diatribe of listing the fifty microgenres I frequent: viking folk, symphonic black metal, symphonic death metal, prog metal, arabic jazz, big band/swing, 70's R&B/funk, russian orthodox hymns, IDM, compositional ambient, drift, shoegaze/dreampop, post-rock, neopsychedelia, indie folk, indie rock, stadium rock, armenian folk, mongolian folk, estonian folk, vapourwave, experimental hip hop, north-African soukous, salsa, bossa nova and samba, jazz fusion and world fusion, neoclassical darkwave, runefolk, new age, post-punk. I enjoy showing off a bit, because exploring music really is one of my biggest interests.
As someone who only just watched Hamilton and now walks down the street yelling "WELL, YOU'RE NEVER GON' BE PRESIDENT NOW!" at the top of his lungs, I appreciate MrThing taking the time to tailor a roast to me personally.
Really it's the fault of the person asking the question to put us in such an anxiety inducing situation in which your taste and knowledge is put to test, which forces you to prove that you actually know and care about music ("if you like music so much then name 3 genres"). You're left with a few options, either you namedrop a load of genres/artists the other person has probably never heard about or care about, or you name some general stuff that isn't specific enough to classify your taste (like "rock" or "Japanese music" or something of the sorts), or your head goes blank, you forget everything you know, and you're left with absolutely nothing else than answering, "idk man, I listen to a lot of genres".
the key is to always be the first person to ask the question - that way you can bond over the people you listen to in that genre, i've done this with people who like rap, folk, jazz, shoegaze, folk punk, pop, it works EVERY TIME 👏
Noel Edmonds: "What sort of music do you personally enjoy?" John Lydon: "Decent." Noel: "Could you maybe give us an example of what you think is decent?" John: "Well my own stuff for a start."
This feels too real. People usually move on before I can really get into what I like musically, so I'm also the "I like everything" guy. Because I know that they usually don't want to start an hours long discussion about subgenres and the musical evolution of the last... 60-70 years.
I hate this question. It feels like everytime I answer, people tune out cause it's hard to explain. I don't like every type of music, I like alot of songs from about a dozen "genres" I guess, but most music I hear I don't care for I guess even in the genres most of my Playlist comes from
I agree with the all music concept- I had my company's president try to push me for it since they were using it as an icebreaker for the 40 new hires, they kept trying to push what concerts ive been to or what i listened to recently but I refused, its not even judgment necessarily but people try to put you in a box like "oh you listen to metal youre one of those people" or things like that, or theyll think youre weird if youre not in a neat little one genre box. Like I've had phases of listening to 50s, classic rock, metal, rock, French, Romanian, Japanese, Korean, nightcore, rap, pop, indie, dubstep, chillstep, witch music, like saying an artist or a genre doesnt define you unless you do choose to only listen to one exclusively and while i might listen to one more at one point than another it would mean more to say what I have never gotten into (country for some reason)- id rather say I listen to everything because its most accurate and defines me best, i like to explore and hear different things
The fact that being open minded to all forms of music is enough to get a vast swath of people in these comments utterly triggered beyond belief has bolstered my decision to henceforth continue to be a fan of ALL music 👍
I like Touhou music. So everything from Unlucky Morpheus to Alstroemeria Records to Sound of Swing. Recently I've been listening to a lot of Release Hallucination, Nanahira, and Dystopiaground. I also picked up an Iron Maiden album at my local library, and I'm liking it.
Okay, I'm gonna just put my cards on the table. ClownCore Nelward Vulta Lemkuuja Thundercat The Entire Pizza Tower OST Foo Fighters Johnny Cash Elton John Jim Croce
I have the opposite problem of not really caring much for any music. When pressed, I will say "video game music", because that's what I am most familiar with, and accept the judgemental looks.
I was in the same boat as you for a while, I found most music to be predictable and boring, then I started listening to a lot of technical death metal. Much heavier, much faster, surprisingly complex. Right now my favorite bands are Meshuggah, Psycroptic, Soreption, The Zenith Passage, Be'Lakor, and Ne Obliviscaris. Would recommend you start with one of the latter two, or maybe check out bands like Gojira, Fallujah, Obscura and Fleshgod Apocalypse. Similar bands but a little bit less heavy. Obscura and Fleshgod have heavy classical influence and Fallujah sounds like it's straight out of a JRPG on some tracks
I feel this so much. I have rejection sensitivity with music and I REALLY don’t like talking about the music I like listening to bc my feelings will be wildly hurt by even the smallest criticism. I try to avoid the subject altogether to prevent this bc I know it’s a me issue. I don’t lash out at people, but I do unhealthily internalize it. Honestly, I think I’m going to show this to my therapist bc it demonstrates how I feel about it minus the happy ending.
It might help if you approach music convos with a light and noncommittal tone, maybe with an "I know it's dorky but..." or "I'm listening to this weird band right now" or something. This can get annoying if you overdo it but it will help decouple the music from your core identity for the sake of the convo and it will be easier to brush it off if they're not into it
Honestly this video kinda showcases that this isn’t a "you" problem, but judgmental people. Besides, there isn’t really any way to criticize music, it’s an art form with many different genres. There is no correct music to like. Unless it’s objectively bad, like the lyrics don’t match the beat or the beat is inconsistent or the theme doesn’t fit and whatever.
I just feel wierd when ppl ask me what type of music I like and I say “pretty much anything”, it’s like they’re expecting some deep insight and found fuck all
@@BSell-b1q people like to make a big show about what music people listen to, but most of the time they aren't actually judging you. I got a buddy who listens exclusively to like music from chainsaw man and I make fun of him for it, we are still good friends and he makes fun of my music all the time too.
Funny, I'm also the kind of guy who has difficulty saying what kind of music I listen to *and* I also just watched Hamilton for the first time recently and have been listening to it a lot.
I usually just say "I like a lot of different music, what kinda stuff are you into?" And hopefully they give an answer and I work off of that. Because I really do like most music, so regardless what they say I most likely enjoy it too or at least something similar so then I have something to work with.
it took me a while to stop believing I could sculpt a personality from the culture I liked and could judge others accurately on their choices. by a while I mean 30 years
I feel so much anxiety when music nerds ask me about what I listen to. They will make you feel like a loser no matter what and how much or how little music you listen to. Please don't talk to me about music ever.
Fun party trick, if a music nerd says some shit about a band you've never heard of and tries to make you feel bad, just say "well, if you want to get technical, The Velvet Underground was already doing that in the 60s"
as a music nerd the best character arc I probably went through during college was going from elitism to a "just let people enjoy things" kinda attitude, I used to think "Viva la Vida" was cringe pop music trash but then I stopped being a dumbass and realized it slaps hard lol
@@joecastle288 For real. I still love talking about music, but just realizing that other people will like stuff that I don't, and that that's ok really was a surprisingly difficult step to take. "Do not kill the part of you that is cringe - kill the part of you that cringes"
I genuinely am one of the music enjoyers of all time. I like everything but rap and country, and even then I will make some exceptions for some country music. I don't usually listen by genre, I just listen to whatever I like most at the time. The most I can say is that my favorite type of music is more electronic, like Daft Punk. After reading the comments, I have come to the conclusion that a better response when asked what music I like is: "I will listen to everything" because that's genuinely true.
My problem is that my taste in music mostly comes from video games. Sort of hard to describe why I enjoy Gherman the first hunters theme in normal conversations, or heaven help me if they find my Splatoon soundtracks.
Most of the music I'm actually really into just gets me weird looks when I talk about it so I just say I'm cool with whatever. Like someone asks me what I'm into and I just think "Do you want to hear about the Russian shoegaze, the Irish folk music or the Japanese math rock?"
@@ictogon Sokoninaru, Ling Tosite Sigure, Hello Sleepwalkers, and Gesu no Kiwami Otome are my picks for Japanese Math Rock. Tricot are popular, but never quite clicked for me. Gacharic Spin are also good, but i don't know if you'd consider them "Math Rock"
Yep, that's my experience summarized right there : not telling my true tastes by fear of being judged (due to years of bullying...), the other person assuring me she won't judge before proceeding to judge me 🥲.
I hate it when people ask "What kind of music do you like?" because it is so boring to talk about! And also because I do like a wide variety of music and don't like being judged on it.
everyone knows you only say "oh i listen to everything" is when someone else is about to play their music and you really don't care what they put on. And then you *have* to elaborate on who your favorites are
My favorite type of joke is when someone makes fun of a certain type of person, and then that someone is also made the butt of the joke later. Because everyone sucks.
My default is to usually say "a bit of everything, what about you?" and most often they'll throw out at least 1 genre/artist I like and we can go from there
Well it isn't so much that I like _every_ type of music and more that I just like individual songs more so than artists or genres, but there's no way to say that in a short sentence and still have it mean something in the context of "getting to know someone" so I just give up and answer "oh, all sorts" and depending on how they respond to that I can gauge if they actually want to get into the longer conversation of why I like the songs that I do. Oh and also I just listen to video game music half the time and that's not a typically respected taste so I don't always feel like being honest about it
I only listen to bands that have been disbanded for years, people who go on indefinite hiatuses right after I discover them or have been dead for centuries.
this is honestly a very simplistic attitude there's a huge difference between the wide range of stuff you might recognise as 'good' and the stuff that you take a particular interest in
I was literally just thinking about my inability to just show people what I listen to on Spotify or Apple Music because it’s often full of random soundtracks from musicals that don’t reflect my actual “taste” in music, and then the punchline at the end happened
this hits home because i, too, have a very all-over-the-place music taste and i, too, have mostly been listening to a musical's soundtrack recently (rhps)
I almost exclusively listen to video game soundtracks because it’s the one way I’m introduced to good music. I’m not a particularly well informed person when it comes to artists, so hearing songs in games is the most common way I hear new stuff
I actually keep responding with 'metal' even though I'm not into it anymore, simply because that was the last kind of music I was overall into. If I said "I'm not into music anymore" that would just kill the conversation, so I avoid that.
I've learned that I am never going to have a common ground with anyone in what music I listen to. First it's "Yeah I listen to all Japanese music... Uh I'm pretty useless when it comes to talking about things you'd recognize!" And now it's "actually I've recently gotten really into Taylor Swift!" "Oh really? I don't really listen to her." I do not understand how I can go from listening to incredibly obscure music for westerns to the literal music industry herself and STILL I would feel like part of a clique if I ever met someone who has heard Champagne Problems

"Anything" or "doesn't matter" are the only reasonable responses, because you know if you are actually honest you are going to get judged as a person immediately. You can't just say you listen exclusively to anime openings in a blue collar industry like trucking. No. You are going to listen to 1950's vaguely racist country songs and you are going to like it.
I don't know if you are real but that comment gave me an insight to a world I did know nothing about before. Thank you.
If I was a truck driver I would listen to CW McCall's Convoy 24/7.

What, he likes the short skits about everyday situations, the satirical skits about current events/discourse, the fake interviews, the book reviews, and the video essays?! Impossible!
Ironically, this is the first one I ever didn't give a like to. I guess I should change that.
A professor of mine once asked us not what music we most enjoy but what we've most recently been into. While that definitely didn't remove every possibility of judgment, I ultimately felt it a more interesting and easier to answer question. Plus you get to find out who's still listening to Hamilton like this dude.
Most recent plays:
Taylor Swift - Folklore, Evermore
Dead can dance - aion, towards the within, Lisa Gerrard solo The Mirror Pool
REM - monster
Brutal Truth - need to control
Wormrot - hiss
I find it so odd that when you say you listen to everything people always say "do you listen to Tibetan throat singing?" Throat singing is objectively awesome, those mfs sing two notes at once.
Throat singing is a beautiful art form!
It's like "yes, I literally do and it sounds badass, you nitpicky D-bag."
People say that to get you to say you don’t like all music? Throat singing is cool as fuck, it’s what I would say if people didn’t think it was a joke
I remember one time in geography we listened to Mongolian Throat singing metal and it was lit.
My goto as of late has been hyperpop. It's great and I love it, but people who aren't used to it tend to have comical reactions listening to the harder stuff for the first time, so it works better than Tibetan Throat singing, lol
It's just easier to say "everything" than breaking down the twenty widely different genres I regularly listen to.
Literally just name stuff you like, until you have something in common with the person and then talk about it. Bam, now you're a better conversationalist then the guy who says "everything"
@@Viraus2 In a one on one conversation, yes, but you still have to be careful that you aren't just listing a bunch of stuff that they don't care about so by the time you get to something they like they've completely checked out.
@@Viraus2 yeah, but that's kind of the point I think. Saying "everything" just means "I do not want to talk about music with you". People who want to talk about music will do so, people who don't won't. Different strokes etc etc.
One thing that i have noticed is that people who listen to "everything" rarely listen to jazz or (non-mainstream) metal. Most of the people i've talked to that says "everything" actually mean to say "everything on radio/top hits"
@@KevinUchihaOG Honestly, I listen to less pop music than jazz but I definitely don't literally listen to everything, just such a wide range that there's no neat way of describing it.
Honestly it's more effective if you ask me what music I DON'T like.
What music don't you like, Damon?
I find a lot of pop extremely annoying but I think if I only had to hear it once or twice I'd be like "this is fine"
@@a.i.l1074 I agree that most pop music can be very annoying, but part of that comes from how often it's played. Granted, that's not much of a problem for me anymore since I don't have to listen to the radio, but when I did it got annoying. Also, most rap and rock music has never been my thing. There are exceptions of course, but most of it doesn't gel with me.
@@Damon_Blue Then what do you like? Rock has so many subgenres and different moods and feels that i find it hard that there isn't subgenres you would like.
@@gsly6081 I do like slower rock music (gentler? I don't know the term for it. Think The Beatles). It's just that when I say "rock music" I usually think of louder, more abrasive songs, which I'm not a fan of. I know it's not all like that, and there are even a few louder rock songs that I like. I know it's a meme, but Bad to the Bone is genuinely a fun song that I like to listen to. Most rock songs however aren't my thing.
@@Damon_Blue Yeah there's tons of "rock" genres that are a bit more gentler, etc. And even bands that have an abrasive sound usually have some softer songs and ballads, etc.
this is definitely one of the music enjoyers of all time
I think the internet really made identifying yourself by the genres you listen to obsolete. Back in the day people would gravitate to their regular section of the music store, and listen to the same radio station, and that was most of the music they listened to. Nowadays people listen to stuff they would never have considered because so much diverse music is so easy to find.
As a kid I only listened to classic rock, and Rush was my favorite band. Then I got into Pink Floyd, then I got into vinyl which led me to googling "best albums to own on vinyl", and so I went down the top 100 list and that's what cracked my shell. Now I can really appreciate any well-written song, or at least well-produced. I'm thankful I didn't get stuck in the loop of previous generations. Hell, my grandma could only name one song she liked and it was a civil war song about steamboats on the Mississippi. Which is badass but she was in her 20's during the peak of music, I'm not sure how she missed out.

I was assumed to have known a particular dance from 50 Cent because of my skin color and lived in Atlanta, which I didn't and never heard of the song (I do like rap, just never came across it). They said my black card was revoked.
This is a really tough question for me to answer not just out of fear of judgement, but also because it's very uncommon for me to like any artist beyond a few of their songs and there isn't a consistent pattern in terns of what draws me to a song. I'm also someone who enjoys listening to the same song on repeat for hours/days in a row, so I get a tremendous amount of mileage out of individual songs.
Preach. I'm the same.
I was that way my whole life until I found a particular genre and bands that just clicked for me. Then I realized I was actually comfortable listening to these bands for years and likely couldn't wear then out.
Yeah this is it for me. When I was younger I put in work of knowing bands & artists & genres, but now...
Can't say, like, "been big on Pixies lately".
Cuz if the person is into them and asks follow up questions, only to realize I meant I've played "Where is My Mind" on repeat all week since I happened to watch some video that referenced Fight Club and it got stuck in my head... then I am cringe.
I really need an honest way to answer this question, looking for suggestions.

Where I do get self-conscious is when it comes to WHICH songs I hyperfixate on.
@@aquatictrotsky1067 I mean, me too I suppose - I don't feel self conscious about binging one song, but when it's a band's one massive mainstream hit and I don't really know any of their other work, I feel like the honest answer isn't so much "I like [name of band]" as "I like (some) massive super hits".

right? if i were asked this question i'd have to go and check. i listen to music for hours every day and have zero idea who/what i've been listening to lately.
Music genres wasn’t something I ever cared about as long as the music itself sounded good.

@@mach2223 i like individual songs from all genres, but hate almost every song in that genre...
Nobody has ever played me post-1997 hip-hop that I want anything to do with.
With that out of the way, my tastes are pretty broad.
@@dougodyssey50why post 1997. is that when your brain started to swollen?
I once dated a guy who "likes every type of music from classical to rap". So we told our favourite artists to each other. I tried to say my opinions about his artists in nice way (like "this sounds great for running"). Aaannd his opinions about my artists were "blargh, I don't like music which is older than 90's".
My least favourite question anyone could ever ask. There is literally no correct answer. I have tried everything. There just isn't.
I would just answer with honesty and don't care about judgments. ^^
@@Hammerbruder99 Problem is, I don't even know how to _honestly_ answer the question. My musical taste is all over the place and I can't really summarise it...
You can answer in genre percentages. I'm
40% punk and hardcore
20% metal
15% goth/post punk
10% ska and reggae
8% hip hop
5% folk and blues
2% country
That's not too wordy and it gives you the basic idea but is more specific than "mostly punk and metal but otherwise everything". And it gives people an opening even if their major is your minor.
@@asafoetidajones8181 Too specific. No way. I have no idea what my percentages are and I'm not interested in finding out. And there's a lot of music I listen to where I don't even know in which genre it fits the best.
I thought this was a TH-cam channel.
Now I see... it's a mirror.
But when I say everything I legitimately mean everything... My main philosophy is that everything that is enjoyed can be come to be enjoyed by someone else assuming no personal negative experiences or harm on another human being. When it comes to music that often means having no set preferred music style and just letting the mood lead.
It's frustrating because no one takes me seriously if I say that, it almost easier to lie and say I don't listen to music, that way they don't judge you lmao
Whenever people ask me what kind of music do I like, I just say anything, why? Because while I may not like every song ever made, I have found songs I like even in music genres that I don't normally listen to.
I like rap, jazz, classical, pop, rock, metal, funk, house, swing
If you want to play a song that you like, just fuckin play it, maybe I'll like it, maybe not, I'm not locking myself into liking only one type of thing just for you buddy

I personally enjoy going on my pretentious diatribe of listing the fifty microgenres I frequent: viking folk, symphonic black metal, symphonic death metal, prog metal, arabic jazz, big band/swing, 70's R&B/funk, russian orthodox hymns, IDM, compositional ambient, drift, shoegaze/dreampop, post-rock, neopsychedelia, indie folk, indie rock, stadium rock, armenian folk, mongolian folk, estonian folk, vapourwave, experimental hip hop, north-African soukous, salsa, bossa nova and samba, jazz fusion and world fusion, neoclassical darkwave, runefolk, new age, post-punk. I enjoy showing off a bit, because exploring music really is one of my biggest interests.

Really it's the fault of the person asking the question to put us in such an anxiety inducing situation in which your taste and knowledge is put to test, which forces you to prove that you actually know and care about music ("if you like music so much then name 3 genres"). You're left with a few options, either you namedrop a load of genres/artists the other person has probably never heard about or care about, or you name some general stuff that isn't specific enough to classify your taste (like "rock" or "Japanese music" or something of the sorts), or your head goes blank, you forget everything you know, and you're left with absolutely nothing else than answering, "idk man, I listen to a lot of genres".
This comment right here, yes. 👆
the key is to always be the first person to ask the question - that way you can bond over the people you listen to in that genre, i've done this with people who like rap, folk, jazz, shoegaze, folk punk, pop, it works EVERY TIME 👏
That's why I started asking "what have you been listening to recently" and people seem to give more interesting answers that way
I only listen to obscure bands like Black Sabbath and The Ramones, you wouldn't know them.

Noel Edmonds: "What sort of music do you personally enjoy?"
John Lydon: "Decent."
Noel: "Could you maybe give us an example of what you think is decent?"
John: "Well my own stuff for a start."
This feels too real. People usually move on before I can really get into what I like musically, so I'm also the "I like everything" guy. Because I know that they usually don't want to start an hours long discussion about subgenres and the musical evolution of the last... 60-70 years.
I hate this question. It feels like everytime I answer, people tune out cause it's hard to explain. I don't like every type of music, I like alot of songs from about a dozen "genres" I guess, but most music I hear I don't care for I guess even in the genres most of my Playlist comes from
I agree with the all music concept- I had my company's president try to push me for it since they were using it as an icebreaker for the 40 new hires, they kept trying to push what concerts ive been to or what i listened to recently but I refused, its not even judgment necessarily but people try to put you in a box like "oh you listen to metal youre one of those people" or things like that, or theyll think youre weird if youre not in a neat little one genre box. Like I've had phases of listening to 50s, classic rock, metal, rock, French, Romanian, Japanese, Korean, nightcore, rap, pop, indie, dubstep, chillstep, witch music, like saying an artist or a genre doesnt define you unless you do choose to only listen to one exclusively and while i might listen to one more at one point than another it would mean more to say what I have never gotten into (country for some reason)- id rather say I listen to everything because its most accurate and defines me best, i like to explore and hear different things
when you show anything out of the ordinary to people who "listen to everything" they reaction is always some flavor of "ew, but not that"
from my experience when people say they like a bit of everything it tends to mean they like whatever is on top 40 radio
The fact that being open minded to all forms of music is enough to get a vast swath of people in these comments utterly triggered beyond belief has bolstered my decision to henceforth continue to be a fan of ALL music 👍

I have the opposite problem of not really caring much for any music. When pressed, I will say "video game music", because that's what I am most familiar with, and accept the judgemental looks.
I was in the same boat as you for a while, I found most music to be predictable and boring, then I started listening to a lot of technical death metal. Much heavier, much faster, surprisingly complex. Right now my favorite bands are Meshuggah, Psycroptic, Soreption, The Zenith Passage, Be'Lakor, and Ne Obliviscaris.
Would recommend you start with one of the latter two, or maybe check out bands like Gojira, Fallujah, Obscura and Fleshgod Apocalypse. Similar bands but a little bit less heavy. Obscura and Fleshgod have heavy classical influence and Fallujah sounds like it's straight out of a JRPG on some tracks
I feel this so much. I have rejection sensitivity with music and I REALLY don’t like talking about the music I like listening to bc my feelings will be wildly hurt by even the smallest criticism. I try to avoid the subject altogether to prevent this bc I know it’s a me issue. I don’t lash out at people, but I do unhealthily internalize it.
Honestly, I think I’m going to show this to my therapist bc it demonstrates how I feel about it minus the happy ending.
It might help if you approach music convos with a light and noncommittal tone, maybe with an "I know it's dorky but..." or "I'm listening to this weird band right now" or something. This can get annoying if you overdo it but it will help decouple the music from your core identity for the sake of the convo and it will be easier to brush it off if they're not into it

I don't usually listen by genre, I just listen to whatever I like most at the time. The most I can say is that my favorite type of music is more electronic, like Daft Punk.

Yep, that's my experience summarized right there : not telling my true tastes by fear of being judged (due to years of bullying...), the other person assuring me she won't judge before proceeding to judge me 🥲.
I hate it when people ask "What kind of music do you like?" because it is so boring to talk about! And also because I do like a wide variety of music and don't like being judged on it.
everyone knows you only say "oh i listen to everything" is when someone else is about to play their music and you really don't care what they put on. And then you *have* to elaborate on who your favorites are
My favorite type of joke is when someone makes fun of a certain type of person, and then that someone is also made the butt of the joke later. Because everyone sucks.
My default is to usually say "a bit of everything, what about you?" and most often they'll throw out at least 1 genre/artist I like and we can go from there
This is why i ask people what they have been listening to for some specific time period. Way easier to pick favorite songs from the past year/month

Well it isn't so much that I like _every_ type of music and more that I just like individual songs more so than artists or genres, but there's no way to say that in a short sentence and still have it mean something in the context of "getting to know someone" so I just give up and answer "oh, all sorts" and depending on how they respond to that I can gauge if they actually want to get into the longer conversation of why I like the songs that I do.
Oh and also I just listen to video game music half the time and that's not a typically respected taste so I don't always feel like being honest about it
no joke i thought to myself 'imagine if the twist is he listens to the hamilton soundtrack' and then bam
I only listen to bands that have been disbanded for years, people who go on indefinite hiatuses right after I discover them or have been dead for centuries.
-what music do you listen to?
-Define "music"
sound organized for the purpose of a piece of art.

@@nondescriptcat5620 So the stuff created for ritualistic or practical purpose isn't "music"? 😮

Guys who “like every type of music” when you play a type of music they don’t like
Me when someone puts on bohemian Rhapsody at the function

I've noticed a lot of people who say they listen to "everything except for pop" are then always caught listening to a lot of pop songs.
I never answer what music I like cause I know the other person is just trying to collect my data.
"WHO ARE YOU?!"
"I'M WHOEVER YOU WANT ME TO BE!"
...It's like I'm looking in a mirror right now.
My answer to “what kind of music do you like?” is “as much as possible”
I mean, good music is good music. I ain’t gonna let some arbitrary genre barrier stop me from listening to bangers.
Based and redpilled
Exactly.
this is honestly a very simplistic attitude
there's a huge difference between the wide range of stuff you might recognise as 'good'
and the stuff that you take a particular interest in
@@Yetaxadamn, youre one of them
That's what I'm saying like I'll listen to cannibal corpse and then Britney spears and no one is stopping me
being this type of person I’d like to apologize
I was literally just thinking about my inability to just show people what I listen to on Spotify or Apple Music because it’s often full of random soundtracks from musicals that don’t reflect my actual “taste” in music, and then the punchline at the end happened
this hits home because i, too, have a very all-over-the-place music taste and i, too, have mostly been listening to a musical's soundtrack recently (rhps)
I almost exclusively listen to video game soundtracks because it’s the one way I’m introduced to good music. I’m not a particularly well informed person when it comes to artists, so hearing songs in games is the most common way I hear new stuff
Everyone who says “I like all kinds of music” always excludes metal
I actually keep responding with 'metal' even though I'm not into it anymore, simply because that was the last kind of music I was overall into. If I said "I'm not into music anymore" that would just kill the conversation, so I avoid that.
I've learned that I am never going to have a common ground with anyone in what music I listen to.
First it's "Yeah I listen to all Japanese music... Uh I'm pretty useless when it comes to talking about things you'd recognize!"
And now it's "actually I've recently gotten really into Taylor Swift!"
"Oh really? I don't really listen to her."
I do not understand how I can go from listening to incredibly obscure music for westerns to the literal music industry herself and STILL I would feel like part of a clique if I ever met someone who has heard Champagne Problems
Yeah most people don't know the entirety of Taylor's catalog lol. Every single person alive knows Shake it Off though.
Basically me trying not to say my tastes range from regular pop music to jazz fusion to chiptune
You must like YMCK
Anyone who was a gamer during the SNES/PS1/PS2 era got tricked into becoming a sleeper Japanese Jazz Fusion fan
@@PabbyPabbles True, wouldn't have it any other way
@@PabbyPabblesYep, happened to me. But part of that's also because my dad loves Jazz.
I just don’t want any of my music to feel left out
I love how Man Carryin Thing looked in the camera as if he were on The Office
