The Friday Five III
Jul. 21st, 2017 02:47 pmHalf an hour until the next lecture and I couldn't be bothered to go to the store so here's a Friday Five.
Depends I guess? I never thought it's particularly bad compared to the popular music today, but popular music in general? Ew : P dons hipster glasses
Yeaaah but really only from when I was like, younger than 13. I guess Sonata Arctica was the last one, I stopped listening to them around that age.
Too many to name! With a lot of them I just assumed I wouldn't like them because of the genre or style or whatever and found myself enjoying the music once I actually listened to them, but an example I always think of where I'd listened to the band years before I started enjoying the music is 東京事変 / Tokyo Jihen, mostly due to the vocalist's voice requiring some time to get used to.
I don't think so... I'm generally kind of weird when it comes to lyrics, the voice of vocalists (voices in general) and the way the lyrics sound is really important to me, but I very rarely think about the meaning when I listen to a song, and instead do that separately by looking up the lyrics? Idk if that makes sense.
The advantage of only really listening to music you like is that this almost never happens ^_^'

Have been very bad at posting recently due to being in the mountains for a summer school and actually doing things with other people (ikr!? X_X). Lots of pretty mountains, old towns, waterfalls and walking and deer and cool people and stuff. I've spammed copious amounts of pictures to the LGC discord, might post some here too after I return to Finland in a ~week. The lectures and things have also been very interesting, but I've admittedly gotten fairly little actual PhD work done in the last three weeks. But I guess meeting other people and learning new thingsand enjoying the lovely weather and having fun is also important. I meant to write something else here too but I forgot what. Oh well, maybe I'll update this...
1. Have you come to the conclusion that your parents music (music popular in their time) isn't so bad?
Depends I guess? I never thought it's particularly bad compared to the popular music today, but popular music in general? Ew : P dons hipster glasses
2. Is there a song/group/singer you once adored, but don't now?
Yeaaah but really only from when I was like, younger than 13. I guess Sonata Arctica was the last one, I stopped listening to them around that age.
3. Is there a song/group/singer you once despised, but is okay now?
Too many to name! With a lot of them I just assumed I wouldn't like them because of the genre or style or whatever and found myself enjoying the music once I actually listened to them, but an example I always think of where I'd listened to the band years before I started enjoying the music is 東京事変 / Tokyo Jihen, mostly due to the vocalist's voice requiring some time to get used to.
4. Have you ever heard a favorite song and suddenly had a reinterpretation its meaning?
I don't think so... I'm generally kind of weird when it comes to lyrics, the voice of vocalists (voices in general) and the way the lyrics sound is really important to me, but I very rarely think about the meaning when I listen to a song, and instead do that separately by looking up the lyrics? Idk if that makes sense.
5. What song would you just as soon never hear again?
