I used to be one or some or all of these.

But some time in the 2010s, or rather over the course of the last 10-15 years, i stopped listening to music by genre and started listening to music by what made me feel good. Like, my phone is filled with music from so many different genres now i can't really call myself anything in terms of music subculture. I'm a music "generalist"? I listen to anything that sounds good to me and don't cut myself off from any genre just because it is said genre.

Except pop.

fuck pop.

    Yeah I've focused more on finding stuff I like, and that happens to primarily be punk music. But there's a lot of stuff I like and really the only genres that I can't do are country (it's just nails on chalkboard for me) and pop (because it's too over-engineered)

    My wife and my oldest enjoy some pop music and I can find the parts I enjoy but it has to be small doses and has to be something with a hint of actual creativity and soul to it
