Weird Music Preference

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

iwrestledabearonce........... i gotta say i really dont like em. it is easier for me to say the music i dislike ( not because im negative, but because there is a lot less :P) I also Can't stand Insane Clown Posse, most rap that is too sexual i dont like. um, to bring back iwrestledabearonce. i dont not like them, it is more that it all sounds the same, and i have bands who sound like them anyway. not to hurt feelings, however if you are a fan of Insane Clown Posse, i can not help you. sorry! lol

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 .

      Well the boss is at it again. They misplaced a work order thinking I was the last one who had it, yesterday morning. I know where it is. Last thing I did with it was put it back on the counter. He accused me a couple times of having it last and put it somewhere. Come to find out, the other boss (his wife) had taken it. she put the work order paper in the recycle box.   Has he apologized about the accusations. He!! no. I am waiting for hadies to get frost bit.   So that was my morning.  But it is finally warming up here. currently 63 and windy.   Hugs, Kymmie

      I am gender fluid, leaning heavily towards trans masc. My eldest is male and despite all the "stuff" we deal with with him (autism, speech delay, etc) I found him to be easy to raise. When my middle kid (female) was born, literally the first words out of my mouth were "I don't know how to raise a girl!" And I really felt I didn't know. She showed me. She's still showing me how to exist as comfortable and completely secure in her gender expression. It is entirely awe inspiring to see all three of them feel so settled in their bodies in ways that I never, ever felt or feel to this day.

      That sounded like an awesome opportunity to dress as your actual self. I have to say I'm a little jealous lol. I never got compliments from people and definitely haven't been kissed. I can imagine that part was still really nice and boosted your confidence.

      I've been absent so much lately I feel as if I'll never catch up. Too much going on in our lives that's kept me away from the keyboard. and limited my time as "me."   I am so looking forward to your post on how you arrange your life. I know that I won't ever be able to fully transition so finding some happy balance is crucial for me.
    • Sally Stone
      Mae, you are so sweet for making this comment.   Desert Fox, you are so right.  I always knew that even though I was part-time, my motivation was way more complicated than a simple desire to wear women's clothes.   Your question is a timely one because in my next post, I am going to talk about how compartmentalized my life is, and the short answer is yes.  I have friends who only know Sally, friends who only my male persona, and a rare few that know both.

      @EasyE With my background in Behavioral Sciences I do go to actual conferences for the medical and psychological professionals that deal with Trans Youth, and in those conferences, the ethics of "too fast" versus "too slow and restrictive" are a heavy concern.  There is very thoughtful sharing among the participants for making professional judgments that the therapist is comfortable with without being afraid of what is "too soon" or "not soon enough" to advance to medical prescription therapies. The ethics of what constitute reasonable caution or unreasonable delay are deeply at play in those situations, with the idea to prevent harm while alleviating the patient's stress and other issues.  This type of conference fulfills Continuing Education license requirements that most states and other areas have.  From them the therapist may seem to "speed up" their evaluation process, but it is based on the accumulated experience of colleagues, just as is true in other professions and yes, even trades.

      That's wonderful news!! I took our pup in for her Vet check today - perfect. She slept 7 hours last evening and is coming along really well with her house breaking and crate training.   I know you'll have some excitement with a new Boxer!!

      Surgeries are drastic, and indeed should be a last resort for minors.  As indeed they are.  It is very rare for anyone under 18 to get gender-affirming surgery.  It is typically only done if the person would be suicidal without it.   Puberty blockers are a way to avoid the "drastic measure" of forcing the person to undergo the wrong puberty.  They should not be prescribed lightly, and I don't think they are.  They are a way to go slow until the person can truly make an informed decision.

      My Endo keeps track of several trace chemicals in my blood system that can be affected by our slightly different hormone balance, keeping in mind we have had both hormones all our life, just in different balance.  I did have to change one diuretic I was taking that was crashing out one chemical that does affect energy levels, and it turned out that Spiro was the alternative to that one for the way it works there.  I was never on Spiro for the hormone issues per se.  Let your doctor know about the fatigue sometime today or whenever you read this.

      Hmmm .  .  . if I only had a ten-word description that completely described my identity. That would be great, but one doesn't exist. "I'm a girl—and a boy. And neither—and both?" There. Now you know, right? Maybe not. —Davie

      I think you should discuss it with your doctor.  I know you are 'asking around' but experience probably varies.
