Sometimes I wanna listen to music that has meaning and speaks to me in some way, while other times I just want a good tune to vibe with. Yeah, but most of the time I find myself just looking for good music to close my eyes and stop thinking to. Especially during work. But once in awhile I'll listen to music I feel speaks to me, or has meaning. The former outweighs the latter, you know? --- "And no I'm not signing your twitter after this type of attitude so don't ask..." - IIINCORRUPTIBLE <cite>Slayer_22 posted [p:959370040] in Do you loo...

Dorfmann_ 10/25/21 11:16:07 AM #8:	I don't think I really look for "meaning" in songs. I usually want music that takes me somewhere or makes me feel a certain way. Lyrics rarely have any bearing on how I feel about a song. Probably why I listen to mostly instrumental music or music with obscured vocals. <cite>Dorfmann_ posted [p:959370471] in Do you loo...

GMAK2442 10/25/21 11:59:25 AM #17:	It's important that the music is made of quality. And a meaning is needed. Of course there is voice less music such as Techno that doesn't need verbal meaning.

Vicious_Dios 10/25/21 1:50:21 PM #25:	Hip-hop - Easily the second option. I don't give a fuck about the artist's struggle, especially if it's on a trash ass, boring as fuck beat. Pain rap, Woke rap, and REAL Hurp Horp can all be bagged up and burned for all I care. Death Metal in all of its forms - The second option as well. Political death metal, lefty metal, and the rest of its ilk is also trash despite having great instrumentals.
