Now, for developing your taste. 1) Ignore Pitchfork. I cannot reiterate this enough. 2) Research, understand and listen to the source genres that inspired the music you like. 70's Psychedelic Folk, American Primitivism, Minimal Wave, Coldwave, No Wave, Krautrock. 3) Once you clean through those, learn about Old-Time and Acoustic Blues of the pre-1960s era. From this, develop an understanding of basic jazz. 4) Work your way from jazz to avant-garde and free jazz, and then learn about Free Improvisation and all of the genres that spawned from Free Improv. 5) While you're at it, be sure to always be looking into ethnic folk from every single nation of the 190+ that are on planet earth. Music is part of the human experience, and as such, is globally diverse.
The reason I'm going so autistic on you right now is because you're new enough to still be saved. Most people in this thread can't be saved; the people shitting on you for your limited exposure are the same ones perpetually obsessing over Death Grips and Kendrick Lamar, ruining their brains and limiting their tastes, because they're basically p4k drones. You're new enough to change your course and break out.
Getting a what.cd account helps, as does an endless interest in musical discovery.
Godspeed, young anon. I have faith in you. |
