Why dont they like rock, metal, rap, normal type of music? And why do they almost worship these female singers like Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Madonna?
Its kinda weird but i cannot think of an explanation to that.

I don't know, why do (you) love pop music?

No. The the only males who don't like some form of pop, pop country, adult (pop) contemporary, Are the music autists who hang around here and other hug boxes with the same "musical superiority" complex. The average chad is going to listen to pop because that's what the average stacy is listening too. It's called POP for a reason. The reason being is it's what's the most listened to (any genre can be pop if it's on the Billboard and other popular charts) music at any given time.

Taylor Swift is a rock singer, songwriter and musician. Her music is equal parts rock, pop and country. normal type of music, that is Taylor Swift to a tee.
>>
>>124409627
Rock and metal aren't "normal music". 90% of people exclusively listen to pop, rnb, and/or rap (or country if they're white southerners). Imagine being so terminally online that you think it's not normal to listen to Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and Madonna kek

If you're genuinely asking-

It's because female pop musicians and their aesthetics vaguely resemble camp or otherwise wholesale rip it off. Back when being queer was less socially acceptable, some adopted camp as a style of performance or self presentation. Camp is characterized by being "deliberately exaggerated and theatrical in style" and "extravagantly flamboyant or affected." An over the top bombastic and extravagant pop star performance is certainly the above.

Of course camp used to be rebellious against social norms, but now since queerness is not just widely acceptable but somehow cool(?) all this queer love of pop music is very empty. It seems like a holdover from a time when the glam and the pomp and the exalted femininity would have actually been a riskier and bold thing to appreciate and participate in. Now it's a bunch of brain dead popper-addled fags not seeing that the corporate art world has co-opted their "rebellion" and is selling it back to them and making bank, defeating the whole purpose of it.

Not even memeing it most likely was hard as hell being queer in decades past. I'm thinking maybe today's queer youth is just retarded and privileged and obsessed with clout and aesthetics and the whole thing is a sad empty gesture
>>
>>124413433
CONT

Some earlier examples of this can be found in a figure like Judy Garland. The Wizard of Oz being "queer-coded" (lmao) aside, she was a glamorous star who publicly dealt with a lot of crazy shit, body dysmorphia and depression and a closeted gay husband and ruthless press. Queer people projected the perceived tragic glamour of her life onto their own. She became some sort of misfit icon for the people that thought they didn't really see much of their "kind" in media.

What you're seeing with today's pop stars is a similar kind of parasocial thing where fags look for troubled idols who despite their struggles still "serve cunt" or whatever the fuck. This disconnect is that it's hard for a celebrity today to have any kind of authentic or genuine relation about their life story or personal identity without it being just a massive cringey billboard to sell tickets or albums. That lack of authenticity has made the gays idolize literal corporate plants, the very same corporations who say would refuse to hire them mere decades ago.

Fucking retards.

>>124409627
Homos are nothing more than sex criminals. And degenerates worship corporations. Hence why they love corporate manufactured music.

>>
>>124417523
eh, I mean relatively speaking? compared to what it was? at least in America? Way different.

For the record I'm bi, and I'm only one person, but it seems to me from my personal experience and what I've observed, at least in the eyes of the American left, that being apart of some victimized group scores you a lot of pity and performative DEI clout and credit. It's like some kind of social affirmative action, at least that's the view that more liberal areas and the liberal media take. Hell many people fear the repercussions of being openly homophonic now , the impact to their reputation, career, etc. It may not be perfect but it's a far cry from what it was.

Anyone saying that
>muh incoming trump administration
is gonna essentially dehumanize queers is being beyond hysterical. Just because he has a vocal minority of radical mouth-breathers in his base, doesn't mean anyone is gonna be round up and gassed. I'm not the biggest fan but people give him way too much credit, for the bad AND the good.

>>124416914
I mean it was hard as hell for lots of different groups. I only meant to say one way or the other I wasn't being sarcastic NOR exaggerating.

>>124417533
Sure. But I think the gays in the past had the good sense to ditch disco back in the day. Hence "disco is dead." It started off with people of color and gays, and once it got corporate and white washed there was an understanding it had be coopted. I think house and other kinds of electronic music sprung from the ashes of disco and that's where the gay scene went next.

So as to say now today's queers don't have the good sense to know when something is dead and drop it.
>>
I'm gay and I only listen to classic pop music from the 60s to 80s and some electronic music/disco, none of that modern shit

>>124409627
Though not all homosexuals are trans, all trans are homosexuals. There is a nascent autogynophylic urge in all of them. They see themselves as women, to begin with, and what women doesn't want to be glamorous.
>>
>>124409627
Because super gay men usually assume very feminine traits and qualities, especially if they're bottoms, so they feel a sort of connection with those women who are super into their feminine feelings and whims. Women who make pop usually go balls to the wall with the melodies
>>
>>124409627
because if you want to be performatively feminine, it's the way to go
think about it, what straight man would unironically listen to something like Taylor Swift? not counting mentally ill coomers who jack off while listening

I knew a gay guy and he didn’t care for anything beyond pop and rap. What they were saying, I guess, is that, music should be fun. I fundamentally disagree, but some people don’t see music as anything other than passive entertainment.

They do. I'm a certified chad and I listen to Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande.

And yes, it will get you laid, but ofc I wouldn't expect a maidenless closet case like (you) to understand these things.
>>
>>124422675
>And yes, it will get you laid
Obviously, with men.
>>
maybe because pop music is extremely feminine
>>
>>124422675
>Ariana Grande
Taylor Swift.. ok, alright, maybe her early country stuff, I had an ex who was obsessed with her, so I pretended to like TS music... some of it is tolerable, borderline guilty pleasure, but Ariana Grande? You have to be a turbo faggot to genuinely enjoy her garbage music, which is sang from a very slutty faggot perpective. The fact that you have to add "because it gets me laid [with women]" to justify your faggy music taste really reinforces the gay stereotype. I would pretend to like Grande's music if that would get me laid, but you wouldn't catch me listening to her all by myself. Her music is truly repulsive.

>>124422909
Male normies are boring, but they're not effeminate. Sure, they listen to pop, but they're at least gonna listen to male pop. I have literally never met a male irl who likes Taylor Swift or Ariana Grande in my entire life. Bruno Mars, Ed Sheeran, and Maroon 5, yeah, but not the faggiest music on Earth.
>>
>>124422967
>liking Taylor Swift
As a male, embarassing. As an adult male, even worse.
>>
>>124422840
Ariana Grande is the most talented vocalist in pop music today, and has been for the last decade.

if you had any musical ability or knew anything about performing music you would understand this, but you don't because you're a talentless brainlet, and a faggot for by.
>>
>>124422932
Nah I work the deck on a marine work vessel.

I used to listen to TSwift together with my smoking hot 5'4" blonde bikini-model ex while we drank and then fucked her absolutely rotten on the livingroom floor. Now I listen to TSwift largely on my own while I chat up random girls I meet travelling around the country for work, who I will eventually also fuck senseless.

Stay mad, you cock sucking, soft-handed battery-farmed, inside pussyboi.

Men do try to solicit conversation with me on dating apps by putting down their gender as female, but I insta-block them as I already have 250+ unrequited likes/messages from actual women that I need to sift through

For me I just like hearing female voices. I like the vibes of pop music. It usually sounds catchy, happy, upbeat and positive. I don't like listening to male singers, depressing music, loud music or chaotic music.

Can't stand Taylor Swift tho. My top 5 is Ariana Grande, Rosalía, Dua Lipa, Kali Uchis and Billie Eilish.
>>
OP, what's wrong with being gay?
>>
>>124409627
>>124422215
I think it's similar to people who don't like e.g. horror movies, or art films, they understand music as a sensory tool and addition to the expression of our world can qualify as a means to our emotional and spiritual betterment, and then draw the conclusion that means it must be light-hearted and only interact with the lightest-mood and lowest-engagement modes of that.

What they fail to understand is that different people are starting from different places when they listen to a piece of music, so what is impenetrable to one person may be deeply emotionally affecting and indeed 'fun' to another. For example I'm an arty femme fag and I love The Holy Bible because Richey Edwards' lyrics are both slyly humorous in places and deeply empathetic to all humankind in ways that may go over the heads of someone who doesn't have the sort of experiences of depression/anhedonia/existential ennui, growing up in a bleak and opportunity-less poor town, substance use, attempting to use extreme aestheticism as a spiritual tool etc. that he did, so to a normie poptimist fag it may sound like ugly, thrashy noise whilst to me it feels like a warm hug from an angel telling me it's okay to feel the pain I'm in and it's not an indictment of my life to admit to it. Whereas I don't have the kind of cloistered, sheltered existence of a normie yuppie fag whose peak-experiences are all going clubbing and doing poppers to Charlie XCX or seeing Taylor Swift or whomever at arena gigs etc. but to whom, by contrast with their lumpen everyday life, that trashy electropop is the cipher for countless bonding experiences and the most carefree nights of their lives in a way I will never relate to experientially.

Guys like the one you describe simply suffer from a very common, and not-queer/lefty/lib-specific, ignorance to the fact that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" is too imprecise a phrase, more correct would be to say "beauty is completed by the eye of the beholder" - that beauty exists on a vector rather than a point, is contextual, and trying to transplant it from its original context is liable to shatter it into mere mechanistic components.

It's music for being played loud in clubs - with bitchy / pithy / oversexualised lyrics. It's actually designed for the gay male consumer, since they set trends for the rest of the pop culture and generally are higher economic, 'whale' customers that buy all the merch and records

I'm not gay, but I suppose I'm a bit fruity. Moreso because of my interests, than any type of acting. I have manic episodes, I walk a bit funny, and I could never really get in sync with men. I find women scarier, as a lifelong virgin, but more soothing to be around. But yeah, compared to the average guy, I'm more of a prancing peacock. I like fashion, I put on makeup, I am not a cut and dry meat and potatoes guy. I used to think I was a gentleman prince and one day I would find my princess, but...

Anyway, dunno anon, I treat it as any other genre. I like some Tay-Tay songs. I used to like Avril Lavigne (filthy coalburner, ptoo). I like musicals. I like Oscar Wilde. I like costume dramas. It's because I'm too emotional (I'm a Cancer Sun, Scorpio Moon) so at times I get them. They're usually comforting because they talk about some everyday nonsense. I'm a friendless KHV so I don't get much human interaction and I live vicariously through the emotions, cheesy or not, transmitted through that type of music. There are days where I'll go listen to Swans, or IAMX, or go back to some nonsense like Epica and Apocalyptica, or curl up in a ball and listen to depressive indies. Every moment has its time and aesthetic. I treat it all as part of the tapestry of life.

>>124440838
I know a couple normie guys who listen to rock, but it's always 90s or 2000s rock, which proves that it's a fundamentally limited demographic because they can only exist 20+ years out of date. Normies listen to relevant musicians like Taylor Swift, Ariande Grande, the Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar. Of course rock is the least popular and most disadvantaged demographic, because there hasn't been any good mainstream rock in 20 years.
>>
>>124444596
New music is only a fraction of streams compared to old music. Just because its old doesn't mean people don't listen to it.
>>
>>124444666
Again, I feel like it's mostly old people skewing those statistics. Statistically, digital streaming didn't surpass CDs until 2014, but that doesn't mean the average young tech savvy person hadn't outgrown CDs for a decade by then. I wish there was a deep, comprehensive study of music streaming and its demographics.
