• What type of music are cool guys listening to these days?
    185 replies, posted
I need help in knowing what songs peeps are in to. I am so stuck in 70s and 80s Jazz and I just think that I should really get into the style of current music. My parents say it was the way I was raised up, my father being an 14 year ex-marine and mother being high school teacher so I was raised up well mannerly -- I guess you could say. I got into Jazz when I was younger from my grandparents (being players themselves), I loved the way it sounded - just something I clicked into. It's been around 7/8 years, I've literally never heard of other music, besides the times on radio and TV (it hurts my ears listening to loud kicks and bumps and other stuffs) but I don't pay attention and usually play video games or do w/e. I heard rap music is something big these days and most cool people are into it, anyone suggest some good rapper bands? Or rappers (is that what they are called?). Suggestions are very much appreciated.

Don't change bro, you [I]are[/I] cool.
Don't get into mainstream music man, most of it is dance influenced crap and whiny indie shit. Stick with jazz you'll love yourself for it.

There is a big variety of music styles out there, I suggest listening to all sorts of music.
Just listen to what you do like on your own tastes, don't be a media whore.
Don't listen to rap to be cool...
Don't change your music style because you feel you're 'out of date'. Lots of people still listen to old music. I for one hate these new mainstream bands. If you want to expand your horizons, just listen to different bands and genres to find out if there's anything else you like.

[b]Edit[/b]: oh, I take that back, some very loud guy started speaking at the end with a weird robotic voice. Man that is not good.
Keep listening what you like, don't listen to whatever's popular since it's almost always shit. But if you want to listen to something good, listen to these bands: Iron Maiden, Blind Guardian, Sonata Arctica, Nightwish, Kamelot, Hammerfall, Northern Kings, Stratovarius, Avantasia.

tekk3rs with a shitload of bass bro
Continue to listen to 70's and 80's music, nowadays most music is shitty mainstream crap. (There are exceptions though) The cool guys are the ones who listen to the music they want to, not because they feel they have to.

if you start listening to rap music i will come round your house and slit your throat. start listening to some rock like muse and stuff
start listening to lady gaga
[QUOTE=Magistrate;19528795]start listening to lady gaga[/QUOTE] get the fuck out
This is the kind of music I listen to most of the time: [url]http://filebox.me/files/e8cew4md4_Had_2_John_Hobart.m4a[/url] That and Solar Fields.
Listen to what you like, not what is considered "cool". I listen to classical music (Beethoven, Mozart and so on) but I sure as hell don't want to change.

Hair Metal. All the cool guys listen to it.
if you go from to jazz to the faggoty music of the our generation you'll be soundly disappointed. don't listen to it because you need to, listen to it if you like it. our opinions won't count for much since most of fp listens to metal and hates rap and black people.
Muse.
Hipster music is the only music that matters these days. Especially if they're from a non-english speaking country, have 4 oboists, and 3 female members with beards.
Jazz is great and all man, i have an extensive library, some rap, some jazz, some old 50s music, even death metal and some of the heavy shit
