I’m assuming everyone here listens to music somewhat regularly, but I’m curious about how much you care about it. And i specifically want to know about your enjoyment regardless if it’s considered a timeless masterpiece or just a meme song. (feel free to share you favorite artists while respecting other’s tastes)
Do you care about having decent enough devices to enjoy it or do you just buy the cheapest pair of earbuds to silence the world around you?
Do you have favorite albums or do you just hit play on a random playlist and zone out?
Do you ever listen to music just to enjoy it and nothing else?
Do you talk with passion about your favorite songs/albums/artists?
Do you spend time searching for music?
TL;DR is music art or content to you?
I can’t afford truly high end gear, so I try to get the best possible; currently, it’s a set of pebble speakers and some sony headphones that I think I lucked out on because they sound amazing. I have some clunky monoprice headphones that are like honey for my ears, but the cord is broken and I can’t solder it together again. *I’ve also spent a considerable amount of time finding FLAC copies of everything I wan to listen too, which has been really easy to do once I found a certain, respectable website…
I have a bit less than a terabyte of music that I add too sometimes if I come across something. I have it all backed up an external drive, which is really the only reason I bought it.
Right now I’ve been consistently listening to Zoe Keating, all her albums are great imo. Honourable mention to LCD Soundsystem, Ólafur Arnalds, Bonobo, OK Go, Odesza, Hump Back, Bombay Bicycle Club and Big|Brave (in no real order).
Sometimes, but mostly it’s while doing other things like homework or shit posting.
Not really, I’ve never met anyone that cares enough.
I sometimes find bands I like posted on the main music comm for lemmy, but usually it’s not my vibe, even though I could say it’s good. I would say that I’m satiated at this moment of time.
Bandcamp links: this is the way
We definitely have some overlap in taste! What is that website though?
Bandcamp is really the only online music service that actually pays artists a decent amount for their content.
Invidious is a youtube front end; it enables one to watch any youtube video regardless, without any tracking or advertisements. I linked to one of the only stable instances of it I know of.
