But I need to ask, is it because on the blog you only want a certain type of music to represent you?

No. This is just what I listen to.

I like chill, mellow electronic music.

Deep house, chillout, synthwave, instrumental.

I don't do any rock, hip-hop, rap, metal, etc.

John Williams Jurassic Park. When you hear this, do you feel anything?

Does this trigger your childhood in anyway? Star Wars the main theme do you feel anything at all?

Do you get a sense that this is a masterpiece? 

What kind of monster do you take me for?

Sure, but that's very specific kind of music. I don't listen to that kind by itself.

Lone might blow your mind a bit then. I dunno how chill you'll perceive it to be, but some of his stuff is pretty chill IMO.

How Google AI describes my music style:

 

Genres: Deep House, Chill House, Indie Electronic, and Melodic House.

Vibe: Atmospheric, melodic, and "chill," often described as emotional dance music suitable for both relaxing and intimate dancefloors.

Characteristics: Melodic hooks, smooth electronic textures, and often soulful or soft vocal samples, leaning towards a sophisticated, downtempo, or mid-tempo feel.

But I don't think he has addressed why it's that specific emotion that he prefers over others. What the deeper meaning or map behind it is?

Sorry that I have to do this but here it goes:

I have thought about the connection between mayovirginity and music. Also, I have a unique view on EDM since I spent hundreds of hours producing it, and therefore contemplating it.

I have observed that, if one is more on the ADHD side, they like listening to "meaningless" music (remember: people with ADHD are insensitive to meaning and ideology).

So EDM basically. (the way I use this word EDM here is roughly this: music that is mainly produced by bedroom producers with the production as the focal point rather than the band, the singer, the lyrics, etc.) The thing with EDM is that very often it doesn't have lyrics and if it does, the lyrics are very shallow.

EDM is pretty much identityless. It does not really point to some Identification with a Group. (Counter examples, are: "I listen to country music, because I identify with the American way of living" "I listen to rap because I identify with a rapper lifestyle")

People listen to EDM Listen to EDM for its qualia (hsp) and for its pattern (autism), not because of its poetry. I'm not sure what effect being HSP has on the music taste. I think being HSP just means that music has more ability to conjure emotions in you. If music can make you cry, you are likely an HSP.

The more autistic a person is, the more repetitive the music is. A lot of autistic people like techno, for example. Not changing one's music taste at all for years is also something that autistic people like to do.

If you are way more ADHD than autistic, then what can happen is that you like super chaotic music like hyper pop (notice that the lyrics of hyper pop are often deliberately shallow and nonsensical. Examples: 100gecs, Dylan Brady)

I remember listening to the exact same kind of music as Leo when I just got into liking music in the first place. At first, I only listened to EDM and at some point I only listened to dubstep which is batshit insane if I think about it.

At some point this narrow music taste was just too limiting for me because I could not connect with anybody through music, so I forced my music taste to evolve and broaden.

This decision had an extremely positive effect on almost all of my relationships and I never looked back. Music taste was the cornerstone of my last longterm relationship.

Music is Love!!

I am very particular in selecting the music that I enjoy.

All music in a genre/style sounds similar. That's what a genre is. All rap music sounds the same to me. All country music sounds the same. All jazz sounds the same. This is true of any genre you dislike.

And don't try to frame your genre as deeper than others.

Unless you are exploring and loving a genre you probably will not understand the deeper layers of nuance that is included within.

Fo sho.

But it's also immediately obvious which genres ain't for you.

It's like porn. I know which genres I never wanna see.

[No1Here2c]

Emphasis on the love part. 

If you dont love something you will not invest time to understand its nuance and intricacies. Without understanding of nuance and intricacies your experience will most undoubtedly feel quite shallow and surface level.

Deeper is a bad term. What does it even mean? It’s true that some music genres are more complex & nuanced than others. Does it make them deeper? Who’s to say? Better? If you like nuance sure, otherwise no. Nuance isn’t a guarantee that you’ll like it but it does make it more sophisticated. It’s dishonest to say that all music has the same kind of attention put behind it.

You can listen to some music 100’s of times and hear new things every time. Try doing that with “baby shark” for fun.

5th grade math is deeper than 2nd grade math.

Your work is deeper than Neil Degrass’s work.

But no music is deeper than other music? Lol

What is the difference between depth and sophistication?

Ultimately the depth of a song is for each to determine individually. I cannot know that the deepest songs for me are going to be that way for you. Gets very personal and subjective. The specificity of music for each of us makes it even more prominent a thought to investigate. Useful for this work.

Music & song have been with humanity for millennia. It is almost like an instinctive trait. & so too it is instinct that guides us most on our path to selecting our taste in song. 

[No1Here2c]

Each psycho-sensory orifice of humanity is their own unique system. These systems will have unique and varying results from any given musical composure. This is part of the design.

[Rigel]

@No1Here2c That’s why I said deeper is a bad term. It implies hierarchy of value whereas sophisticated, complex & nuanced are more factual.

Depth ultimately is a matter of your personal experience. Leo hadnt made any arguments that any genre is deeper than another. I think he was pointing more at the fact of the subjectivity it all is cased within.

Depth is poetic language.

Of course. I wasn’t arguing that or pushing a genre either.

People are biased and like to believe their fave genres are deeper than others.

Some Star Wars nerd is gonna feel that Star Wars is super deep. For him it is, once he nerds out on it for a decade.
