While it’s concerning that this even made my top 5, the fact that I’m the in top 0.01% of listeners for this song makes me want to reconsider some of my life choices.

I'm in the top .001% of listeners for my top song this year. I regret nothing. In fact, I am listening to the song right now.

I haven't seen the show but I went to listen to it. It slaps for sure. Sounds like Voltaire in the beginning there (sorry for the YT Music link, I don't use Spotify, I prefer ublock origin + youtube music when using a computer)

I just use it in the browser without having a sub.

Because this post made me intrigued enough to look I'm posting:

Thanks for the answer because I'm 51 and I know people who are younger than me who like some of that and I know people who are older who like some of that but I don't like any of it. I had a moment maybe with some but most are a hard no for me.

Well, I'm actually 39 but that's a good guess I'd say. My favorite band is actually TOOL but I listen to that outside a music service mostly. Also, my 18 month old loves Talking Heads and I'm quite grateful.

I mean, they're a pretty good band. But god, who'd wanna be such an asshole?

wow pretty problematic

Actually I never even heard of any of those artists and never used spotify or any other streaming services. I only buy or torrent flac. Oh and soulseek is still up since 2001

Dunno the others, but Ren is pretty great. Kinda salty he blew up though - he used to be a great recommendation to give people, and now everyone knows him.

If you wanna change that, maybe start with money game 1, 2, and 3, hi ren, or the tale of Jenny and screech. Or don't, I'm not your parent.

1

I got 49k minutes and it said I'm in the top 5% of listeners. So decently far up there, I'd say!

They hate rich people. That's completey unacceptable in this day and age. If you're not thinking of the 1%, you're thinking of yourself.

Edit: Oh wait, it's not my job to educate you. Nvm.

Normalize pirating 'problematic' artists, some tracks are bangers even if they're from terrible people

I listen to too much music... only like 16% of the year (excluding December)

Here's my Spotify list for 2024:

It's blank because I don't do subscription bullshit or ads. I probably bought about 10 CD albums this year though and they became MP3s in my Plex library.

Plex top tracks play count:

Soundgarden

Jimi Hendrix

John Frusciante

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Ratatat

Meat Puppets

Lettuce

Lotus

Wellwater Conspiracy

TAUK

I wish I could still get something out of ratatat. Its like when you watch your favourite genre of porn until it just doesn't work anymore.

Will Wood!!

Small world, loved his shows when I lived in the Tristate

4

Would like to see him live one day, the recordings always looked fun. Don't think he regularly comes to my side of the pond, though.

One of these things is not like the others! lol

Overall makes sense though, considering Jack White has always been a favorite of mine and an inspiration with my guitar playing.

HA! Hey same.

I both completely obsessed over his new album this year and played a ton of guitar on the back of it!

2

Love it! Really loved the first half of the new album and it definitely inspired me to play more.

Saw him live a year or two ago and it was awesome. Definitely need to go again :)

Qobuz is better because I'm not forced to suffer listening to music ruined by MQA encoding.

2

I'm enough of an audiophile that I have some really nice speakers and a Schiit DAC and amp

But I'm not audiophile enough to care about different encodings.

At some point, I just wanna listen to the darn music

I guess I'm not really a "music" person as such.

(I'm surprised it was still even logged in)

Ooh neat

E: looks like June was a Pink Pilates Princess Hollywood Pop kinda month for me.

I mostly listen on Spotube, but it was still mostly these same songs/artists for thousands of minutes

It was so funny watching mine with my partner right after watching hers, bc her's was mostly like workout hiphop songs and then mine's like

death is marching

death is marching 🥰

little tortoise 🐢✨💕

I can't tell whether this means Coletta is criminally underrated or I'm just way too into them.

5

Don't judge because of Eminem 😭, the new album came out this year I think, I don't remember listening that much more to him.

5

Normalize listening to Eminem tbh

A friend I made back in high school told me recently that when he was in middle school (diff school), people would mock him for listening to Eminem and said he should be listening to Tupac and Biggie. I told him that these people can fuck right off, there's nothing wrong with listening to Eminem or any other artist YOU like. Music snobs suck ass. I like Pac and Biggie, but I don't idolize them, they're not special heroes to me because I'm pasty white and from another continent entirely. I don't know their struggle even. I don't know Em's struggle either (shocker, I know, but my mom isn't a drug addict and hasn't sued me, nor are my friends getting gunned down), but I like his flow and the anger in his earlier songs. Best part is, we both would've been around 1 when Pac died. Some 10-13 years later, the kids saying "oh you should listen to Pac and Biggie not Eminem" are probably saying it because they've HEARD they need to like Pac and Biggie if they're into hip hop. I could barely tell what was going on in their songs when I was 13 or 14, took me until much later to even know anything about the culture.

Eminem's had banger tracks in every single album he's done IMO. Tbh I might've missed one or two of the newer albums, but I doubt it's changed. The man can murder with words.

If I was a snob, I'd say you need to be listening to Aesop Rock for style and vocabulary or Immortal Technique for commentary, but fuck that, you can like multiple artists and they don't all have to be struggling, or have a deep, message, or anything really. Plus eminem is a GOAT in his own right at this point.

Yes I'm a huge Eminem fan, but much of this applies to any other artist too. If your favorite metal band is Metallica... So what? Yeah they're mainstream and they're assholes, but the music isn't bad, you're allowed to like it.

2

No judgment for emeinem. He gets a lot of hate nowadays but dude is absolutely foundational to modern rap music

1

Seems like I've been listening to a lot of lofi for study purposes. At least once 386 minutes at a time.

Can't paste images for some reason, but here's mine:

NOTHING MORE

Conquer Divide

ANKOR

Caskets

Of Virtue

Achieved .05% top listener for Conquer Divide and .1% for Nothing More. Played almost daily most of the year.

This years wrapped was a real wake up call. Being in the top 1% bullet of my Valentine listener feels like a cry for help. I stand by the home team since they're actually good.

3

definitely was not expecting an all sleep token too 5 song but that's the band me and my partner tend to listen to the most together so it makes sense
