Hot takes abound. Post a Youtube link with a song to base my opinion on incase I haven't heard of them/I'm unfamiliar.

I absolutely hate her music. I hate the cadence she has in her voice that sounds kind of snotty and defiant. I hate that she collaborated with other awful artists like LMFAO. I hated the content of the songs that felt like an amplification of the drinking and party anthems of the noughties.
But I feel bad for the abuse she endured, and she does seem to be a genuinely okay person -- her music aside.

I'm not going to pretend I have good opinions on rap music -- but I guess that fits my whole hot cakes for some hot takes. I think he seems incredibly talented. I like his flow and his lyrics. I am not a fan of that chorus whatsoever, though -- and the goofiness of the singing aside, I think the beat in the chorus is strange because it sounds super Bone Thugs or like G-Funk or something to me. I'm also not a huge fan of how serious and well articulated he sounds, if that makes sense? That's just a personal preference thing -- but I'd rather listen to someone who sounds blas like 21 Savage or someone who sounds cool and laid back like Notorious BIG.

He's very talented, and I've seen creative writing majors and literary analysts show how complex some of his rhyme structures are -- with lots of internal rhyme, approximate rhyme, assonance, etc. I can appreciate that.
But I think his aesthetic is beyond lame. The whole "I'm a white boy from the trailer parks and I want to kill my mom and baby momma" schtick he got famous off of was coooorn-eee. He's also way too hyped up from the "I don't like rap, but I like _____" crowd -- which is always a red flag to me; I'm not into rap or hip hop per se, but I know in something like horror films, board gaming, video games, etc. I usually avoid stuff that people who claim to not be hobbyists love despite hating the hobby.
I also think it was weird how he was a heartthrob when he was younger - but he's kind of an attractive dude nowadays, though.

you have a problem with a woman sounding defiant? something about that just rubs you the wrong way, huh?

I can respect that. ISO isn't for everyone. Some like music with a message/content and some like mumble raps and beats. I feel like he's one of the best. Super articulate and well thought out/complex bars.

It feels super K records to me - but more garage-y. It also has that really childish quality like Kimya Dawson or Kiwi or something -- I'm not a huge fan of that. It may just be that particular song and its lyrics, and partially her snotty inflections -- but I'm totally cool with the background music, and she seems to have personality. If the music was a little faster and she was a little more aggressive I could see this being like Heavy Cream or something and liking it.

Taking that the wrong way. It doesn't seem defiant in a powerful way like Siouxsie Sioux or X-Ray Spex or something -- but more like bratty.

I think there's a super fine line to be drawn there, and not a lot of artists walk across it perfectly. I feel like A Tribe Called Quest and Outkast both kind of balanced it well.

So this is an interesting one to ask me - because I haven't really followed newer music in like a decade, but post-emo stuff is the stuff I have the strongest personal attachment with. Literally could listen to stuff like Penfold, Mineral, Compound Red, Boys Life, Cyan, etc. nonstop.
I know around the early '10s there was a lot of Kinsella worship -- and I was never a big fan of Kinsella bands. Like I enjoyed one or two Owls songs, and I liked Cap'n Jazz - but they were far, far, far from my favorite band in the genre. Most of the noodley stuff did nothing for me aside from maybe Algernon Cadwallader.
This still sounds somewhat noodley, and the vocal inflections -- the modern midwestmo stuff -- are kind of grating. But overall I enjoy the music, and it sounds like it traded some noodles for some twinkles -- which is always welcome to me.

Jack White

I think his music as the White Stripes was innocuous. Like it wasn't something I'd go out of my way to listen to - but not something that would prompt me to change the station. I'm fine with garagey stuff, and far as garagey stuff and indie rock stuff in the mainstream - it was probably on the better end of the spectrum.
But that new song, "Taking Me Back," bugs me so so much. He also seems a bit wienery in real life -- like him commenting on records being the next "big thing." Like records never lost popularity? He just seems like he's trying too hard to be hip and intellectual -- and he's just like the old creeper dude who picks up wannabe hipster girls in their twenties at Dennys after Brian Jonestown Massacre shows.

I like the piano accompaniment. It reminds me of like, if you took that cheese-and-whine spoken word stuff and mixed it with like, Sam Hunt. It's not like the worst thing - it's just very strange to me.

The first thing that comes to mind is Toy Story; I was never a fan of Toy Story, even when I saw it in theaters as a kid. His voice is silly, and I love the Mad Tv skits with Will Sasso making fun of him.

I was never a big fan. I felt he was talented and there's no denying that -- but I feel like you could even tell a bit from the lyrics back then that he was going to be end up being a race traitor. I also had a dorm mate who was this rich white kid from Albany who wore backwards visors and sandals -- and he was obsessed with Kanye, so I kind of associated Kanye with rich white kids.

I'm terminally lame because I didn't enjoy the opener. The rest of the song is fine - I just wish it was faster. Most metal I like is more on the thrashier side of things. I'm fine with black metal in general - I just want it sped up a bit. Most of my favorite metal bands are like the proto-black metal stuff that's a bit faster like Hellhammer and Venom.

All right, fair enough. Now let's try something a bit different. Astronoid are one of my favorite bands ever. They call themselves "Dream Thrash".

I kind of liked the music itself, but the vocals remind me of like, a post-hardcore band or pop punk band that would've called themselves emo and played warped tour in 2005 -- like I was waiting for some rawry, contrived screams around every corner. After Snowing it may be my second favorite thing posted in this thread? But I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it.
