I hate that rock for me a just baseline, unless it’s like CLEARLY rock. Like I’ll hear any sub-genre of rock and just think it’s generic good music. Especially any of the sub genres that are ‘softer’ rock.

This shit is doubly embarrassing considering the fact that I’m a musician, like, I’ve been doing this shit for ~11 years. I should know how to identify genres by now.

#rock #music #soft rock #leo/need #l/n #prsekai #sol talks #it me!#my post #Anyways my sister just told me that leo need is rock #This post applies to a lot of my musical tastes tbh #there are a lot of bands I just thought were ‘a band’ and didn’t realize did rock #I didn’t realize ELO was rock for the longest time #Also people get surprised when I tell I like rock for some reason #I mean I mostly listen to dad rock(or I guess more specifically… yatch rock *tears*) but I can listen to harder stuff #it’s just not in my MO since I don’t KNOW as much of the harder stuff so I just stick to what I know #I will never forget the time some was surprised that I liked Jethro Tull???#he’s not super loud or anything #It also happened with G N’ Roses or Aerosmith ( I don’t remember the song/band but it was in that genral area)#NOT ME GOOGLING AREOSMITH AND IT HEAVY METAL!?? THAT SEEMS WRONG #yah SEE WHAT I MEAN!#most sources said hard rock but apparently they at the very least metal influences(also blues)#this is like me finding Blue Oyester Cult is Heavy Metal/Hard Rock(even asked my metal head friend #uuh… as I was about to say I’m don’t listen to enough Hard Rock but I do like it! I just need to sit down and culture myself #Even though I artistically understand and as a singer respect the technique behind death growls I’m not the biggest fan of bands/songs that #use that. But besides that I fuck with most rock. I mean I fuck with metal if it’s clean #I mean I do like screaming or those like small growls just not full on growl if that makes sense #tbh I’m bad at identifying genres point blank unless it’s obvious #like songs can have vibes but I’m ass at telling apart genres
