Thanks for the ping, but I don't really have faith. As someone who doesn't have much music theory training - I couldn't tell you what key a song is in at the drop of a hate - and as someone who was WAY too abrasive to those who did know music theory shitting on my favorites and lauding things that I thought sounded like absolute ass because they were "interesting," I don't feel I'll ever be welcome again. More than half of it is my own fault, but the point remains regardless.

Pretty sure most people here don't have serious music theory training. I've seen people do well in these contests who I'm pretty sure didn't even know what a music mode or time signature is. Those people who said that are probably in the minority, but I'm sorry if they may have hurt your feelings. That sucks.

On the other hand, you'll be surprised just how many normie songs have done well. What I listed wasn't comprehensive, and it's already an incredible amount of very recognizable very recent retirees (or near-retirees).

Keep in mind that Staff Roll from Mario 64 lost r1 last year only to retire this year. Don't give up hope too soon!

Of course, if you choose not to participate, I understand as well. People hating on your picks can get very tiring very quickly.
