How to get into music again?

[TankAbbott4Eva]

For me, the hardest thing about getting into new music is that so much of it sounds artificial and fake, and a lot of it also sounds the same.

There's definitely something to be said about recording to tape, or having some kind of "noise" in the background. The majority of modern is too clean and sounds weird, like there's no soul to it.

Funny, my guitar teacher said pretty much exactly the same thing about the new Megadeth album, no reverb or whatever unlike the early albums, too compressed etc. Sometimes it's good to not have an ear for this stuff, I really enjoyed the album.

Same. Some of the albums I love sound like they were recorded in a public toilet but I don’t care

You sound like a black metal fan!

Yeah, and punk/hardcore

Yeah I do intend to, I just found it so uninspiring. If I want to listen to the Beach Boys I'm listen to the Beach Boys. Maybe they just hadn't found their own sound at that point

I tried to do the same thing with the Beatles. I know some Beatles songs of course, but I don’t think I’ve ever listened to an album of theirs all the way through. I finally decided I was gonna do a deep-dive and just spend days and weeks absorbing myself in their music.
I made it like 20 mins. I finally faced that I just don’t like them much.

The first thing you should do is stop listening to so much metal. I have no idea how people don't get tired of most of that bullshit after two days.

Haha I'm glad it wasn't just me

New stuff sucks, don't bother.

No it doesn't. It's just that the market is oversaturated with music and it's more difficult to find good music than it used to be. There's more good music around that it's ever been but, unfortunately, there is even more crap music around, so you have to dig a little deeper.

There are some decent good music out there, but it's harder to find among all the music out there. I guess if you go by the top 40 hits, you may get a idea of what's out there that's worth listening to.
