So I was having a philosophical debate with myself inside my head and also trying to figure out why exactly I like the music I like so I can make it easier to discover new artists and tracks. I ran the numbers and I like every single music genre pretty much equally, don’t prefer if a man or woman is singing, doesn’t appear to be any sort of rhyme or reason other than the beat. Am I missing out on anything from other countries? I don’t care if they sing about killing babies or speaking in a made up language, if there is a “Meek Mill who only raps in French” or a “Deftones that only sings about the scientific method in Chinese” I want to hear it. I’m not asking for suggestions; I’m asking if anyone has had luck “flipping a switch” and finding tons more music in a similar way.

That's fair, I like the beats of music too

Am I missing out on anything from other countries?

Yes, definitely! Although American and British music is plentiful, there's also lots of great music from other places too of any kind of genre.

Personally, all the Croatian music I've heard are bangers, and in general, a lot of the Balkan music is great.

I don’t care if they sing about killing babies

I feel like you should probably care if somebody actively pushes for the killing of babies. Just my opinion though.

    Yo that’s the thing though, I like to separate the art from the artist. There was a whole documentary about Michael Jackson (not that I am interested) who pretty much almost killed a baby.
