Weird Music Preference


Guest Tammy Maher

Has anyone ever encountered they love certain songs that just scream their physical selves that which for the most part we are trying to escape?

I kind of have to ask this one because I listen to a lot of AC/DC, Motley Crue, Quiet Riot, and that such. Most of these are all guys playing in the 80s talking about very "guy" things, but somehow I love their music.

Examples:

AC/DC

Another AC/DC

Motley Crue

Kind of get the idea? This lyrics scream everything I hate and loathe about myself, but I love the music and know most of the words by heart.

I have my music on shuffle and You Shook Me All Night Long started playing right before I clicked on this thread. :D

I like a lot of rock music, classic rock as well as newer stuff. I'm trying to find more old school music though, since I've realized there's still a lot of classics I don't even really know, but I'm running out of hard disk space lol :/

I guess it's more stereotypically "male" in a way but I know girls who listen to things like that. Or, especially female/female-fronted rock bands, their influences are often more male-oriented i guess you can say. One of my friends is into a lot of classic rock, and she has a black AC/DC band tee - more likely than not it's a guys' shirt. and she has other ones like zeppelin or smth as well. I wouldn't say it's "weird."

I could probably also say i listen to girilier music, though maybe I'm being overly critical about it.... just cuz a girl is singing it doesn't necessarily make it girly i guess but how many guys like stuff like The Donnas and Shania Twain? lol.

I listen to violent and depressing music but I'm a huge pacifist and I am very happy and cheerful. I don't really listen to any girly music, with I guess the exception of An Cafe. I listen to some female fronted stuff (Emilie Autumn, Ayria, Theatre des Vampires, Hate in the Box) but none of it is really girly. The only feminine-ish band I listen to (An Cafe) is all male.

Going to have to check out some of these bands.

I'm still listening to Fear Factory, Sepultura, Iron Maiden and AC/DC even though I thought once starting HRT I may not be interested any more. I don't listen to them as much, but when I do, it's special. And yeah Janelle you are right inloving music of which stereotypes/whatever we're trying to escape.

But my musical genres/fav bands have mushroomed since leaving high school. Love PJ Harvey. Portishead. Me'Shell Ndegéocello. Weird jazz and classical combos. Prog metal. Drum'n'bass. Sometimes I'm stuck for what to play since it's all so good!

Yeah, same thing, I used to listen to Black Metal and Folk Metal, etc. almost exclusively. I've slowly expanded my horizons and have just recently realized how eclectic my tastes have become. Can't stand saccharine music, however. I still love metal, and I know quite a few girls who are heavily into it too. People like what they like.

AC/DC like a lot of those 80's bands I love, but only under the right circumstances. I used to be able to listen to that kind of music all day but the further along this trail of transition I walk the more that my tastes are turning to Jazz and Swing music (that is classic and New Orleans Jazz). Two female Jazz artists whom I love are the Late Great Ella Fitzgerald and a Canadian by the name of Dianna Krall, yes you can toss Basie, Ellington, Miller and a whole bunch more in. 70's and 80's rock used to be an addiction but eh not so much anymore, I also listen to a lot of country which is something that I used to not do

Having been a musician all my life, my tastes run the gamut .....classical, country, rock, jazz, blues...I just appreciate music in general...

Joanna: I also love Dianna Krall..........

But some of my favorites are Fleetwood Mac, Bonnie Raitt, Billie Holiday, Abby Rodeo, ELO, ELP and Trans Siberian Railroad!

Turn that record over, will you?

(sorry, I'm older....lol!)

Well here is another shocker, like Donna Jean (I know what are the odds) I have been a musician ever since I was old enough to sit at the piano and once I found the trumpet it was an obsession (not the perfume - although if you haven't bought my present yet...).

I am a fan of Classical (all periods including Gregorian Chant), Jazz, big band, blues, dixieland, rock, country, electronic, Movie and Broadway soundtracks well everything except rap - I haven't heard anything there that has captured my imagination.

My favorites Chicago, Blood Sweat and Tears, Maynard Ferguson, Doc Severinsen, Buddy Rich, Stan Kenton, Timofei Dokshizer, Simon and Garfunkel, The London Symphony, the Berlin Phiharmonic and so many others.....

I have been to live performances from Black Sabbath to the London Symphony Orchestra in locations from a string quartet in the amphitheater in Ephesus to Adam Ant in the Bronco Bowl - That's right bowling alley, batting cages, archery range and a concert hall - only in Texas!

So I am there if you can hum it, I'll try to play it.

Love ya,

Sally

I like a lot of 'guy' music like you posted (80s rock ballads, heavy metal, THE LONELY ISLAND FTW)--but, also enjoy 'girly' things like Britney Spears, Cascada, The Idolm@ster (girl dancing videogame!)

If music is good, it's good to listen to, no matter what the gender gap. It can make for interesting listening! :D

I'm all about metal, specifically:

Black Sabbath

Judas Priest

Mercyful Fate

And the like. I love AC/DC as well, and there's nothing wrong with being a girl AND liking "guy" music. Listen to what you enjoy, and don't let anyone tell you it's wrong. I am a self-proclaimed rocker chick, and I'm darn proud of it. I like being different from the girly girls who only like the flavour of the month (no offense, really).

I listen to metal. I drink way too much Pepsi. Neither of those define me, and your music choices don't define you. There may be elements that have a meaning, but the music itself is just that, music. It's purpose is to be enjoyed.

AC/DC are a 70's band .. probably one of the best.. certainly right up there with the best.

I like all sorts of things too.. nothing wrong with being yourself. I used to do live sound and got a taste for the early death/thrash bands like slayer and xentrix... so there. I still go and see some of the local metal merchants from time to time. I guess they appreciate my support as one of the local old time heroes of rock.

Bon Scott.. well what can you say? .. live fast die young.. and never ever compromise or sell out on his (lack of) principles.

Asked in an interview once

"Bon, are you ac or dc?"

"neither man.. I'm the f------ lightnin'"

A proper superstar of rock.. for all time... and Australian dammit... yet another reason he was sooooo hot and so much of an influence on me growing up.

Janelle, I used to listen to that kind of music all the time when I was in a depressed mood which was most of the time. Know that I have found myself and know what I want, I find myself listening to more upbeat music with a happy tune.

I use to listen to Manson, Metallica, Seether, Ozzy, Linkin Park, White Zombie and all of those metal bands. If it makes you happy to listen to these than go for it. For myself, it is now softer music because I am in a better place now.

Love,

Sarah F

The most "guy" type music I like is the Rolling Stones. In some moods nothing else will do. Also some blues singers, like Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf.

I never got in to Heavy Metal, and if I want to listen to something depressing and loud Nick Cave or maybe Nirvana or the Pixies are just fine. Again depends on my mood.

Mostly I listen to folk and similar music and classical. My favourite new album of the last five years is Joanna Newsom's Ys which isn't blokish at all, but still clears the room at parties :D .

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far...

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.
