Transcript by OP

[fscom]

My current favourite celebrities have “better” taste in music than me (not in their words, I mean stuff music or genre snobs usually don’t look down on).
I feel a little bit guilty that I don’t have the motivation to listen to artists they keep saying they like.

I don’t think it’s a big deal. I do want to widen my horizons for my sake, not for snobs’. I just irrationally feel like celeb recs are cheating.

[raspberryrain]

OK, um, music snobbery is ridiculous anyway. Especially if it's music genre snobbery. Music genre snobs are ridiculous pieces of filth and many of them have no real understanding of music.

Weirdly it's harder now to find new music than in the days when FM radio was three top 40 stations, one country/western and one alt rock station that barely had enough power to transmit across town. So take your tips and recs where you can get them. Even if the source is a celeb. The worst that will happen is you'll find your tastes don't jibe.

[elaminator]

Why would it be cheating? (And if it is, why would that matter? If someone looked down on me for discovering music a way they thought distasteful I'd just laugh.)

Honestly, any way that you can get good recs is fine. Doesn't matter if you heard it on the radio, a friend recommended it, you heard about it online, you searched for music in a specific genre and stumbled across it, knew it from a game or a movie, heard about it from a celeb, etc. Music is music.

A secret about music snobbery again? Yawn.
A word of advice, OP. Try hard not to worry about who gives you music recs so much. Just consistently listen to the kind of music you are in the mood for.
Everything else should fall into place after that.

Personally, I don't mind music recs - even the automated ones that the music industry seems to spew. However, I suspect that I am in the minority on that one.

My favourite way to find new music lately is looking through bandcamp's genre tags (https://bandcamp.com/discover). Freebie albums that don't suck are the best (such as this adorable as fuck lady: http://store.carsieblanton.com/album/idiot-heart)

Uh, sorry I can never resist the unsolicited reccing of music...

[(Anonymous)]

Don't be sorry. I have the albums Homestuck 1 and 2 because of Bandcamp.
I'm cool with them.
