Sandra King86 said:What really gets under my skin—and honestly, makes me a bit salty—is how fans of that kind of music just refuse to accept that there are people like me who simply don't appreciate the genre.
And why do I suddenly need to be lectured on how this music is actually "valuable" or "deep"? Just enjoy it! It’s fine if it’s not my cup of tea, thanks. This whole attitude where people feel the need to "enlighten" the masses about trashy pop-country is just plain obnoxious.

Look, I’m not going around trying to convince anyone that traditional tribal drumming from some remote village is the pinnacle of musical genius, am I?

There is a massive distinction between genuine folk music and cheap, commercialized radio hits. We are talking about the latter here—that's the crux of what people are trying to tell you.
You can critique something without being a fan of it. But I suppose that concept might be a bit too nuanced for your pea-sized brain to grasp.

Sandra King86 said:What really gets under my skin and honestly pisses me off about music snobs is this total lack of empathy for people like me who just don't vibe with certain genres.
Why do I constantly have to sit through lectures on why certain mainstream trash is actually "deep" or "complex"? Just enjoy it if you want, but thanks, but no thanks—it’s not my thing. This elitist attitude and the desperate urge to "educate" everyone else about what constitutes good taste is just exhausting.

Look, I'm not going around trying to convince anyone that traditional tribal drumming from the Kalahari is the pinnacle of musical genius either.

Personally, what bugs me is when some random internet trolls start talking down to people, acting like they're all uneducated hillbillies from the middle of nowhere... 🙄

Whoever decides to chime in next with those kinds of condescending claims should probably just list their IQ, their degree, and their zip code first. That way, I can give them a little bow of respect if they actually meet those standards and prove they're somehow more enlightened than I am. 😉

But—if I may step in here—they’re actually making a valid point. Just look at how this specific thread has played out.

Like, seriously? If anyone else wants to come at me with those kinds of claims, just drop your IQ score, your degree level, and where you grew up right now. Then maybe I’ll actually bow down to you if your stats say you're somehow more qualified than me to judge... 😉


Total superiority complex vibes here...🤣

Look, I get why some people act high and mighty because they're smarter, better looking, or just have way more money in the bank... that makes sense to me.

But I honestly cannot wrap my head around someone feeling superior just because of their taste in indie or urban music. 😕

They’re mostly right. Just like this whole thread.

Honestly, Rachel Brooks63 is spot on. When people post those fake "phew!" comments, 😁 it gives me the creeps—straight up feels like a zombie apocalypse.

Rachel Brooks63, you're a gem.

Hey, just wanted to let you know—since we're so close—that I’ll be switching up my signature when I move this thread... do you have any cool ideas on how I can make it look original? (Feel free to shoot me a DM if that's easier)

Absolutely disgusting. Honestly, I can't wrap my head around it either. Just pure, unadulterated idiocy.

People are constantly going at it over on the forums about those populist types.

Sorry, it's not your fault. It doesn't even matter right now.

If you were being sarcastic and I totally missed it, we’re gonna end up fighting about it. 😁

Man, people, you have no idea. There is nothing like being absolutely wasted, just hammered, when a song hits you perfectly. It’s intense—I swear, I feel like I could break things with my bare hands.

Nah, I wasn't. I was actually just trying to come up with a killer opening line to move this thread...
but I'm coming up empty. 😢

Why do I end up at strip clubs sometimes?

The answer is incredibly straightforward. I CANNOT listen to any more garbage from Beyoncé, Jay-Z, or that self-proclaimed "house DJ" who’s been spinning the exact SAME TRACK for two years straight—and even if it sounded decent back then, now it just makes me sick. It's the same junk playing in 90% clubs across Washington, D.C. Look, it's not that I actually enjoy this kind of music, but it's the only option left when places like the Bowery Ballroom or similar spots just aren't my scene. The party scene died out a long time ago, honestly.
I usually head to the clubs with my crew around 3:00 AM, stay for about an hour and a half, and call it a night.

Simply put, if we only listened to the music we actually liked, we wouldn't bother going out at all, because you rarely hear that stuff being played out in public.

Conclusion: we all just need to start drinking, then everything will be fine. Everything sounds better with alcohol. 😁

I am being completely serious here.

Best regards,

Honestly, when I'm a little buzzed, those mainstream country songs sound even worse than usual.

Some people just don't give a damn about musical quality or poetic depth—and honestly, that's perfectly fine.

You go out to hit the clubs, dance, and look for a hookup... why shouldn't you?

I’d love for someone to walk me through this—please, keep it civil and actually back up your points.
First off, why is there this immediate assumption that if you listen to folk-pop, you must have a sub-standard IQ?
Second, people love to claim we’re drowning in this genre. But honestly, looking at what’s playing on NBC lately, I haven't seen or heard a single Saban Saulic, Sasuti Matica, or even our own Sejo Kalac in over a year. I bet you could spend all day flipping through radio stations and still never run into Ceca Velickovic.
Third, why does everyone act like fans of folk music shouldn't be allowed to share their positive takes on the music they enjoy on THIS forum?
Isn't music fundamentally divided into good and bad? Is there any genre out there that doesn't have its fair share of "gems"?
And let’s be real: can four guys who just happened to find themselves in a garage and barely scraped together two or three chords actually hold an educated conversation about music? Yet, we see these "demo" acts everywhere, being hailed as the next big thing. We're told it's all "for the sake of culture." And don't even get me started on the band names. It seems like people are much better at inventing ridiculous names for their groups than they are at actually learning how to play an instrument. Why does nobody ever call out that nonsense?

In that case, you aren't even getting a quality buzz going. 🙂

And honestly? It’s probably for the best, otherwise I’d just be stuck listening to some cheesy country music all day.
