People that don't listen to or appreciate new music?

[22_22]

I really get annoyed by close-minded people and this is no difference when it comes to music taste. I am talking about those people who are 'too cool' to listen to new music or hate when a band changes their sound. I don't know if this happens a lot in other genres but I really like pop-punk but its lyrics I feel are aimed more about girlfriends and youth. It is hard for a bunch of middle-aged men to sing about stuff like this and mean it, so I am not sure why people are surprised when people make different music to what they made decades ago. Plus that would just be recycled and boring!

Yes my family listens to country music. While I can dig some songs, I hate country in general. I'm not against people hating genres all together but if it's within the genre you like, you should always give a listen and give it a chance. Recently I've been using spotify on my Xbox and listening to radio while playing my favorite games. Enjoyable for sure but also gives me new insight into different music out there.

Ehh.. I can agree to an extent, but I really dislike bands changing their sound when it just doesn't work - their previous work was popular for a reason.

Linkin Park is a prime example of this.. A Thousand Suns was largely experimental and for the most part I didn't really like it. They returned to their roots with Living Things which sounded awesome, but unfortunately went experimental again with their final album One More Light and it was pretty terrible IMO.

I'm personally not fond of popular music tbh, so i can't really tell how much it has changed through time but whatever, i'll talk about old school heavy metal and rock'n'roll.

I'm not personally in love with New Metal or "Modern" Metal like the band mentioned by 1@Nerdface[/uSER] not because of the sound (but in this case it has to do with the sound), i can't imagine a "metal" band without a guitar solo.

There are bands like Judas Priest or Iron Maiden that knew how to do songs in various decades, they have been doing it since the 80s..

My hubby and I are always coming across new music.

I normally find it on Youtube.

My hubby will find it when he is listening to music on his satellite radio.

That is how music gets evolved and we should support it so that musicians make a lot of trendy tunes which will attract the youth and kids also.

If you make wonderful song or album, definitely it will be appreciated. I've always cherished being a music, I dropped off from my music career, due to discouragement from parents, friends etc.

No reason to get annoyed at other people's preferences, if i may say so. Its just their taste. For me anyway, I listen to all genres of music and enjoy it too. Though my likings ate old classics, it doesn't prevent me from enjoying the new music and remixes. Music in any form is good for me.

Now we see a lot of open-minded people and audiences expect different types of music in concerts too. But yeah some people always stick to the same music and genre and don't like to come out of their comfort zone.

I mean not all new music is good and not all new music is for everyone, but I do keep an open mind and enjoy some new songs from time to time. It's usually kids who think new music is for everyone nad everyone should go out of their comfort zone, but what if you get out of it and you don't like it?

It's so not cool to force your beliefs or music on someone else, so just show it and if they don't like it that's fine

Most new music are useless in my opinion. What we had in the 80's and 90's was far more better than what we have today in the music industry.

If the new music made more sense, I'm sure that no one is going to ignore it. I have never seen that happen, so any song that gets unappreciated sucks.

 

[Ja sa bong]

I listen and appreciate new songs. I'm listening to a new one right now that's been playing since I woke up.

 

[Sparrow]

One of the best musician in my country now is Asake. His new songs is being played every where and they are very good. I'm listening to Joha one of his tracks now.

The thing is that there are some people who can never be open to music. I can remember some years ago when I haven't started appreciating music until something adjusted in me and I fell in love immediately.

YouTube is a very good platform to source new music from. I go to trending and click on music. It gives me new music which have been uploaded.
