I’ve been working on this recently and the biggest thing for me was just not overthinking and just doing I would always say “I should watch this show” or “I should get more into music” but then begin overthinking it. It very quickly turned into a deep analysis of what the deepest core of my soul wanted, or looking online on “where to start” and by the time all the thinking was over I didn’t even want to listen to anything So now I just turn on an album that I’ve never heard, no thinking. I make my choice in under five minutes, and from that I’ve enjoyed more music this week than I have for most of my life.

One issue for me is the desire to “learn” new music I listen to. There’ll be new albums I listen to and like enough to come back to, but it takes me a while to remember what certain songs sound like, even if I like all of the songs overall. It’s just that there’s so many of them that it’s hard to keep track, so I have to listen to the songs multiple times. Also, now that I’m in my second year of college, I have way less time to listen to music, because I fear it will interfere greatly with me doing homework and studying. I can’t really do both simultaneously, so I usually just reserve listening to weekends now.

Honestly, two of my favorite albums from 2021 that I came back to recently are Volcanic Bird Enemy by Lil Ugly Mane and Oxidized by Frontierer, and I barely remember what each song sounds like without at least a quick reminder. Bird Enemy is a weird psychedelic album with a lot of different sounds. I definitely remember most of the songs, but I listen to it casually so much that it's hard to remember what something like Hostage Master or Discard sound like from the top of my head. Then there's Oxidized. Fantastic album, but I'll just say that if the words "djent" and "mathcore" don't mean anything to you, it will literally kill you. It sounds like snorting citric acid. I can't remember what half the songs sound like, and the ones I do are like Copper Iris and Damage and the Sift which have a memorable melodic hook (hard to come by on that album).

If it's good - I add it to my liked songs and if it's bad, I just delete it off the playlist and never think about it again. Recommend that system.

I really miss listening to music before knowing the existence of sites like RYM and AOTY. Those sites are hella addicting and encourage you to be super critical about music. They sometimes kinda ruin my enjoyment a little bit. Although, those sites are probably the only platforms where talking about music feels safe. See, sharing your music taste could be a double-edged sword sometimes. Quotes like “that band sucks, this one is better”, “if you think that’s a masterpiece, you need to listen to more music”, etc. If it’s not some proto-post-psych-sophisti-punk-no wave experimental-avant-prog-garde rock = you have shallow music taste, therefore you are inferior. One day I was scrolling through the comments on a reaction to an album by a Vtuber called Mori Calliope, and the people were feral. It’s as if enjoying music made by artists who are not liked by the majority = there’s something wrong with you. Comments like “this is what people with no music taste enjoys” or “I’m concerned about the mental health of these people (referring to those who enjoy the music”. People tend to harass those who enjoy artists like AJR, Taylor Swift, Twenty One Pilots, MCR, etc. So yeah, I mostly keep quiet about my opinions when it comes to music unless it’s a music-related community.

My “how to fall in love with an artist 101” (I fell in love with Tame Impala’s music in April 2023 so that’ll be my example) 1. Listen to one of their songs that is very easy to like on first listen. A lot of artists most popular songs or highest rated albums usually have this quality. Let It Happen was my first Tame Impala song and I thought it was amazingly good. 2. If you really liked a song, find the album it’s from and listen through it. Liking new music takes time, so you might think a handful of the songs were “pretty good”, and only a few very good. I listened to Currents shortly after finding Let It Happen and wow it was good. 3. You’re gonna wanna listen to the songs you really liked a lot (at least this is the case for me), and that’s fine. This is a part of cementing yourself as a fan. But don’t only listen to the ones you loved! Put the album on shuffle, and you might find that some of the “pretty good” songs were better than that. In my case this happened with Eventually and Reality In Motion. When my ears click with a song it cannot be undone, I’ll always find it likable. 99% of the time. 4. Don’t let your first album from the artist get stale, if you start feeling a desire to explore more do it. Currents was my kryptonite for 3 weeks but after that I knew I wanted more. So I listened to Lonerism, and followed the same pattern as before. Obsessively played the songs I loved on first listen, but had the others shuffled in and let them play here and there. I’d also throw Currents songs into the mix. At this point I was obsessed with Tame Impala as a whole, and getting into his songs was happening much, much quicker and easier for me. I listened to his other 2 albums 1 day apart, and to this day I’m loving songs that I kinda ignored before. I’ll probably ease out of my Tame Impala phase but I’ll probably be revisiting his music frequently. Now, I’m not saying this is objectively effective for becoming a fan of an artist. People’s brains are different and music taste is subjective, everyone has their own preference and pace. For me though this process was very, very effective and it is how I’ve fallen in love with other artists besides Tame Impala. Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk, btw plz explore that discog if you haven’t it’s worth a shot :)

The most important thing I do when it comes to music is to save music even when I do not necessarily like them, if I suddenly remember the melody in my head or if I hear the song again in a different format (like radio, social media, etc), I may come back to it and determine if my thoughts on that particular song has changed. I do not tend to call any music weird or nonsensical, because different artists will have different intentions when producing this music. I know what I like, and I do not want to follow trends in music even if it may be good, it’s just my taste that matters.

Back in 2021 and early 2022 I opened myself up to a plethora of new music and really enjoyed it, but towards the end of 2022 I jsut stopped trying to find new music. I don’t even know why honestly. I’m the kind of person that listens to all their music in their likes songs playlist and I went 3 whole months without adding any new music to it and jsut listening to the 1k+ songs I had there on repeat which led me to become tired of all those songs I had there. Previously I feared that I wasn’t in the right setting or mood to listen to new music and/or wouldn’t have a good experience listening to it. On the other hand, sometimes I get FOMO and feel like I need to experience a certain album but then those aforementioned fears arise. It’s kinda like an endless cycle tbh lol. But recently I began taking the initiative to listen to new music more often and have expanded my taste even more

I mean, I basically sort of like everything. My process just being I go on rym, and just dig into rabbitholes. Maybe investigate a label or a scene or an aesthetic. I just pick an album that I immediately find most interesting to listen to and just listen to it. I have a bucketlist, but it's mostly just there as a backup in case I don't have any immediate ideas. Sometimes maybe just go to a thrift shop and buying some 1 dollar CD that had an interesting cover. For me, RYM had made me enjoy music so much more since it's such an easy place to just... look for music, just any kind. If there's a genre you don't recognize, you can just quickly read up the genre page and dig into it. I mostly ignore the score ratings because sometimes what people dislike is what I'm looking for. I don't really try and actively keep up with whatever's coming out, though I do see whatever's on the RYM chart. It's more fun to treat music as an adventure rather than a laundry list to things I need to get through. Who cares, it's more fun to just have the sea take you somewhere than limiting yourself to a massive bucketlist.

For me, listening to new music becomes hard when I overdo it and enter a time period during the year where there isn't anything super interesting that's dropping. I discover many new albums and artists on Album Of The Year by checking the new releases every Friday, and picking a few to check out every week. Doing that has resulted in me checking out 120+ albums in 2023, and nearly burning out completely during the summer, as that was the "uninteresting" period of the year for me. Thankfully September's increase in music quality helped get me out of my burnout, but it really goes to show that listening to new music can sometimes feel like a chore. Doing other things while listening, such as going for a walk or playing video games, really goes a long way and makes it way easier, so it's something I highly recommend. I'm also glad you mentioned album swaps, as I've only done it once, and want to do it way more. I've been so focused on new releases, that it'll be a good way for me to check out some classics and iconic albums that I feel like I should've already listened to. Good video!

It's very good for music discovery, not so good for formulating an opinion on the music unless you like it instantly because ur head is so full up with music. but it was so worth it.

Last year I wanted to listen to as much new stuff as possible so listened to over 100 new albums released that year: only hated like 1. But I only ever came back to like 20…so I’m not doing that again lol. It’s definitely hard to try something new, and sometimes it just doesn’t stick even if it’s not bad.

It's wild to me because a hundred in a year is, like, probably me at this point in the year, and I haven't really been looking for new music. I just checked my RYM account and it is over a hundred albums and EPs. I think I just like listening to a lot of music so when I stumble onto something new (which I do a lot because I browse a lot of music forums), I end up listening to tons of new stuff. Like, just today, I went on a rabbit hole that lead me to listening to Black is Beautiful by Dean Blunt and Inga Copeland. Super weird album, but it blew my mind. But then there's people that, to me, seem like they listen to so much new music. Like, several new albums every day. I don't know how those people do it.

I really appreciate that you're doing these videos because I find them very interesting. I feel like there's a lot of people out there (myself included, to an extent) who feel insecure about their music taste or think that they're listening to music "the wrong way", so it's really nice to have some discussion about this and get some piece of mind. I would love to see another one on music listening moods, or one's attitude/mindset when listening to music. I feel like there's a ton of music that I'm not able to give a chance because I'm in the wrong frame of mind and I'd love to get some advice on that.

well, people get overwhelmed as they get older and feel pressure to know what's going on. and so they give up entirely and only listen to the music they listened to as a teen. thing is, they don't remember when they were a teen. there was always a ton of shit out all the time. it wasn't as easily accessible as now, but it was as accessible as any other music back then. the easiest ways to get into new music that i might like is to see who's opening for bands i do like, and reading interviews to find out what they like and why. you can still just go on *really* listening to a few new artists and then some new singles and it will actually be just the same as when you were younger. let go of the fomo and it's easy. these days, i just make it a point to listen to a minimum of one new album, one old album that's new to me, and a bowie album daily. it works for me!

I only listen to a few artist that I really like and follow closely. and the rest are just casual listener. some artist are just gossip free and that's good! you appreciate their work of art and that's what we're here for. I personally love collecting albums. sometimes even tho I'm not a big fan of that artist, I still buy anyway bcos they make good music. i wanna collect good music and at one point it reminds me of certain phase of my life :")

I think I've gotten better about this over the years. I did that millennial thing where I liked something, found something different, and proclaimed that the thing I liked before the new thing was now lame and stupid. Then I stopped doing that and admitted to myself that I just like a lot. Really, I'm mainly into metal, electronic, and random indie bands, but I've been trying to branch out some more again - namely into hip-hop and R&B. I figured when I moved to Toronto I should listen to the Weeknd, and that super worked out, so I kind of went from there.

This is just me, but maybe this will help you: I found out that, after I started giving random ass albums a chance, three things happened: 1) I realized just how much I love the records I love. If all you know is amazing records, everything kinda looks the same. It sounds weird, but it wasn't until I listened to some god awful records and afterwards listened to one I love that I realized just HOW MUCH I loved it, and how rare that is. It helped me realize that amazing albums are rare. Very rare. 2) I realized WHY I love the records I love. Listening to new stuff helped me better formulate exactly what I like and don't. For example, I realized I don't like shoegaze. Why? Because the vocals are usually drowned out and because the songs are a lot of times very atmospheric and vibey, and I don't gravitate towards that. Then I come back to my loved records and realize a lot of them have very proeminent vocals, something unconventional about the structure, or very lively mixing (or all three). By listening to what I don't like, and trying to understand why, I came to realize the types of things that help me connect with songs. And the more I listen to different music, the more refined this becomes in my experience. 3) You will find great music. Listening to music can be scary because I feel like the loved-to-meh ratio (just came up with that btw lol) is much lower when compared to movies, books etc. And when music isn't hitting, it isn't hitting. But you will stumble upon something obscure, that few have listened to, or maybe few even enjoy, that will connect with you randomly. For example, I came across a British band called Modern Woman by sheer accident, and they scratch a lot of my itches. And once I found them, it's permanent. I'm now aware of ANOTHER band I love. Of another set of songs I can put on. And connecting with music is such an unique feeling, that I argue it's worth it to go through some mediocre records to find one you'll love for your whole life. Anyway, those are my two cents. I also feel like there's nothing wrong with sticking to what you love. But you'll have a lot to gain from experiencing new things!
