Why do you listen to the music you listen to?
#12
RE: Why do you listen to the music you listen to?
I tend to be drawn to music that expresses(at least to me) existential angst, which can run the gamut. I revel in the anger and frustration of Nine Inch Nails but also love the somber but pleasant sounds of Aphex Twin's more melodic tracks. Some of his music feels like a friend putting his hand on your shoulder and comforting you during a difficult time. Grunge music also really speaks to me because of this(I really am a 90's child).

I'm also very much drawn to the bass guitar and music that utilizes basslines well, which is one of the reasons industrial/electronic music is my favorite. If it grooves, I can't help but tap my foot.

I like music that reflects how I feel internally, a person struggling to cope with all of the pain and bullshit in the world that isn't afraid to say, "fuck it" and boogie down every once in a while.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
