was browsing UKO (i know. i know) out of boredom and i'm personally in love with the idea that it's somehow Bad to say you don't like a song without listening to it fully, eg. only after 30 seconds. "you're missing out on so many banger bridges" "if you can't spare 2-3 minutes i don't think your opinion is worth listening to" you'd think it's music journalists scoffing at someone who wants to submit album reviews with this mindset, and not redditors talking about sillay kpop songs
#shrimp thoughts#if a song doesn't captivate me then why would i go out of my way to ~give it a chance~? or even go as far as to listen to it a couple of#times solely so that my opinion is hashtag valid? also it's entirely possible to change your mind. like i did going from hating to loving#halazia. or hating the squeaky bed sample in rock with you but eventually learning to tolerate/like it because the rest of the song was fun#i feel like it's only an issue for like... twitter teens who think other twitter teens saying “X sucks is ugly and their music is stinky!!!#are a serious problem in which case. well#so much of music -- especially kpop -- is about what you're willing to give a chance to. tastes are subjective!#if a song starts off kinda boring and it's by an artist i don't care about i'm going to hit next 5 seconds in. if it's by my favourite#artist then i'm going to keep on listening to the end/listen to the entire album on loop. because i like their other stuff and i'm willing#to listen to the new stuff again if it doesn't captivate me right off the bat. deukae songs used to be that “love at first sight” 4 me but#i guess i just grew out of the honeymoon stage? i have expectations now and i don't think not vibing with their track is like#an act of personal betrayal/disrespecting my mains. but man teenage kp/op fans would honestly have#an aneurysm if they knew there are people who know a song is not up to their tastes without listening to it AT ALL due to: personal tastes#someone who only listens to idk. jazz and classical isn't going to like your oppa's newest cunty bop and it's not their flaw or failing
