shitty music

[sasha]

how do you judge music people?

 

is it all about first impression?

 

let's say you hate song but you can see good instrumentals, vocals, comlicated form and etc. and you just "yeah it's ok :>_>:" &vise versa~

 

post k-pop song you don't like/hate and try to reason why

 

 

[Athena]

Wolf - song is pure crap, and this is coming from an EXO fan

 

Let us recap:

 

chinese version is better

[abra]

I usually give a song atleast 3-4 listens if I think it could grow on me. I don't really dwell on songs I don't like, but if there's a thread on a song and I haven't heard it before I'm probably going to comment on what I think of it, no matter if I like it or not.

 

But even if I don't like it I don't just say "it sucks" but rather "I don't like it" or "it's average/bad" or "it doesn't do anything for me".

 

Example: I thought first love was on the boring side.

[stop]

i try to listen to it a few times but if i just can't get into it i never will

ex: thriller

i replayed it 20 times but still can't get into it

jk

this is actually my jam

[Punk Princess]

I dont. People have their own taste in music. If i dont like it,i just say i dont and move on. 

[pinkwall]

 

 

because it sounds like a rejected filler track for gd.

[denizen mars]

Yes, I think it's worth discussing if it's an artist I follow, so I can talk about how they went wrong. 

 

case in point:

 

 

 

not the worst song ever, but they tried to mix reggae and hip hop and it didn't work.

not enough cleavage

 

 

I like their new song more too

[I Was Pon This Wei]

I tried so hard to give this song a second listen because my blackjack friends kept telling me how it's a masterpiece and how it "expresses CL's true self" but honestly it sounds like a rejected GD song and CL's flow I just couldn't take. If anything I was expecting at least more a decent song than that.

[Knee]

Well I think it really is centered around opinion. What you might think sounds shitty can be "OMFG, AMAZING" for someone else. It's always a matter of taste, but what pisses me off most is when delulu's act like a song is the best thing ever amd it's really not. That's usually the only time that I care to voice my opinion. 

[shimjoohyun]

no, but i do state the song is crap when i think that the song is crap

 

like i hate bar3,ogs,gee but i don't shove it to others. i just can't with some people here that think taste is one way street,just can't...

i don't have deep appreciation over music really,if it's good to my ears then good.i don't fret over music

[NickyGolightly]

I have to listen to a song 3 times to know I truly don't like it 

[Skibop!!]

Only if it comes up in a discussion with my friends I will take the opportunity to say it is shit. It's also very fun when my friend likes said artist/song because I can tease them about it all day long. I do this a lot about Ciara and her C-Squad

[stab]

I ask myself, is it catchy? Do I like the concept? Is the hook annoying or awesome?

[Kpopalypse]

I always look at any "worst music ever" type threads on any forum, because without fail I discover a great song I've never heard before.  It's how I've discovered most of my favourite music.

[Guitargeekette]

Sometimes some music is just bad. There are occasions when taste has nothing to do with whether something is bad or not. Some things musically. are. bad. Sloppy arrangements or arrangements that obviously had no time invested in it, bad vocals, bad lyrics, melodies that aren't coherent and just do not work, wrong instruments being used in songs that don't need it or can't fit it etc. I'm not talking about music that is lovely but because someone doesn't like that genre or thinks it's too simple or whatever they say it is "bad"...no. I'm talking about music that is really BAD; nothing to justify it as otherwise.

 

Yet there is always someone who likes it. Originally, when I discussed bad music, it was to try and find out why it was even liked. And of course, usually, the ones who like it cannot explain....because there is. no. reason. Then they proceed to say "I like what I like" or sumn along those lines. So I've realised that ppl can enjoy crappy music; they'll never be able to explain because it's crappy but for some unknown reason, they can enjoy it.

 

Therefore, I no longer discuss it, because I'm usually left feeling not much respect for these folks' taste in music and somewhat frustrated lol cuz I just couldn't get it.

[kuroswan]

People have their own impression on what is shitty music. If I don't like a song I will say and move on and not trying to listen ot it again and again to like it.

in the other hand for someone who listens just to enjoy and has no clue about vocal quality or arrangement or whatever the one thing that matters is his feelings, no? i've listened to shittiest songs because in one case the lyrics were good, in others violin/guitar/unique voice/etc were. didn't happen to you?

and can you post anything that is objectively really BAD  ? genre doesn't matter:)

[Soy Un Dorito]

I can't explain how I critique music

Let me just show it

 

• - The lyrics are very confusing at times
• - The music production is terrible, especially the cut to the chorus
• + Ryeowook's adlibs

And this is from an ELF

My lord, I can't stand this song

Please do not perform this at SS6

But you are one of the rare ones. You can actually explain that "I like less than standard songs because sometimes the lyrics are good"....I agree. There are some songs that have poor arrangement but lyrics save it. Other cases where some unique quality such as instrument use, singing style save it. For eg. a lot of ppl hated SJ's SPY, I didn't fancy it as well, but I appreciated the mariachi bit in the beginning....because mariachi in kpop was a bold move lol. 

 

A song that is plain...BAD?

 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTt-5E5lv1w

 

• drone electronic rhythm section and synth.
• essentially one chord makes up the. entire. song. No real melody.
• not quite rapping, not quite singing. aka ???? vocals
• there is an unnecessary roaring thing going on in the back that further adds to the messiness of the song.
• The lyrics. blow. chunks.

yet. there were people boldly declaring that they love it. Couldn't explain why.

 

Yeah I don't get it. lol...."feelings".....I don't get it either LOL. My feelings can't take to sumn if it sucks entirely.
