Does this apply to vidya as well?

Applies to 99% of the VN slop that comes through here.
I agree with this wojak
I don't listen to music
Just say this. No one actually gives a shit about what music you like they're just trying to start small talk. Pivot to something else.
he is right y'know, it's called gatekeeping, find my favorites on your own and then we can talk about them
Why does the red blush make this image ten times funnier?
I would be elated to find someone that likes the same kind of music I do.
feel bad for this guy, he's clearly passionate about his hobby and if he lost some weight and stopped being so cynical he'd probably be able to translate that passion into genuine charisma.
Wouldn't it be easier, and an even better gatekeeping tactic, to lie about your favorite? I don't think he has a favorite band.
This is the face chuds make when a black guy walks past them
Is that Anthony Fandango?
I don't get "music nerds".
Like that Fantano guy will make a sober review about an album called "Finna cop wock fr - part 2" by a guy with facial tattoos that goes by the name "Baddie perc thug" and the entire album sounds like a guy mumbling with a beat in the background.
It seems to me like the 11 minute review required more effort than the music and it comes across as unbelievably pretentious.
Now they know you're a liar and you'll never get one of the females into your kill room. Nice fucking job, nerd
My favourite band is Muslimgauze :^)
Not encouraging conscious consumption
This is how you get fags playing Metal Gear in chronological order and people skipping Jojo parts then spouting incorrect shit like retards after the fact.
True gatekeeping should be ensuring media is experienced properly so it can be appreciated, if they don't vibe with that then you push them out and gatekeep fully. Do it for the greater good, anon.
True gatekeeping should be ensuring media is experienced properly so it can be appreciated
This 100%
SO LET'S GET SWALLOWED WHOLE
I agree. I feel like Death Grips and shit like that is just a big meme/joke everyone but me is in on. Like Sneed or something.
Why, yes, my favorite band is My Chemical Romance.
For me it's Billy Talent.
I only had metal gear solid 2 growing up therefore I played that first and then went back to play 1 and the msx games later.
soiteens are always the most gotten to tranny faggots KEK
I don't even need to gatekeep, most people don't have the taste to enjoy it.
what videogames does emo gigachad like?
If I'm talking to a normie? Yes to never heard of it no to the rest.
Final Fantasy VIII.
'frade the jak is correct o algo
tsmt
persona 3 FES and he hates every other version including vanilla P3
No one actually gives a shit about what music you like
I care! Helps finding new music
That's completely different anon, especially for "doing x growing up" but it's more people coming to series after the fact when they are widely available. So in your case if someone bought the Master Collection and started with 3 when 1 is right there.
I'm never gonna fault someone for exploring what's available to them, but doing things ass backwards because some reddit guide said to or because you want to "skip to the good bit" is the problem.
my favourite band?
maybe slayer or motörhead
I say this and I'm 7 feet tall and jacked
Jacked by who?
I watched 1 Fantano video where he ranked MF DOOM and he put Madvilliany at the top. Yes it's the most popular but DOOM never stopped improving. Born like this WAS his best full album. Released in 2009 and some of his best work came from collabs in the late 2010s early 2020s. After watching that video from a self proclaimed music nerd have such a normie opinion I knew he was a fraud and a faggot
I like linkin park.
all albums, not just hybrid and meteora.
Im 9 feet tall and I hate gatekeepers, bullies and mean people (like you)
choking hookers to acid bath is kino
youtube.com
I literally don't listen to music, tho. At least not deliberately.
Fantano is the peak of "a dumb guy's smart person" when it comes to music tastes and that's why he has such broad appeal, seems like some intellectual but really for the most part he's not got any particularly interesting insights.
I'm unironically 6'5 and being tall is fucking terrible I wish i capped out at 6ft I feel bad for the people I find once or twice a year who are actually taller than me. When I have to look up at someone I know their life is miserable
I do this, but not to gate keep but because i get called a weirdo whenever i do share my passions. if i feel like you're chill enough ill probably talk about it unprompted anyway so this mostly applies to random normies getting really pushy
I talk about my music and vidya tastes a little bit because I'm not THAT autistic. Helps that I have 2 coworkers that also listen to metalslop (all 3 of us are this wojak if you don't listen to metal) and a boss whose husband got her into girlcore like Skyrim, The Witcher and Baldur's Gate. Working with people my age is fucking great.
I only listen to vidya music so yeah I guess
Makes fun of white people's pigskin.
Dangerously based.
I'm <tallest height posted in this thread +1> and I hate gatekeeper haters.
It really felt like that he had a lot of bad takes throughout I'm not some music junkie analyst but there's a few people/ groups I do know alot about and could definitely smell bullshit watching that. I'm sure it's that way for alot of people who watch their favorite shit from him though
I always post my favorite band in Anon Babble but all they care is kpop
youtu.be
what is your damage specifically, not getting enough air? or are you built like a lanklet?
Yes, I want my 100 reviews indie game to succeed and hit it big, but as soon as they do I start to seethe and want for their financial ruin.
Why am I like this?
only producers can gatekeep, consumers cannot
as a fan of something you can never gatekeep anything if the original creator does not also wish to do so
for me, it's Orange Goblin
I've also been on a NWOBHM kick lately, so I've been listening to a lot of Accept, Enforcer, Tygers of Pan Tang, Girlschool, etc
Just saying "oh you haven't heard of it" is a convo killer
The only person I've ever known who just doesn't listen to music was our old high school vice principal. We all thought he was a fucking alien.
I usually just use it as background noise for mood and to break the silence which may be worse than not listening to any music at all
I only listen to video game OSTs and remixes
Based govnargod
you have a nice side and a contrarian edgelord side, and the nice side is slowly dying
soon the first part will stop happening
I have no problem telling people that I like Dream Theatre because 15+ minute songs are normalnigger repellent.
i've done this, so i agree with it
15+ minute songs are normalnigger repellent.
Nah
If the music is good then a normie can stomach 15+ min tracks
Nothing is built conventionally for you. Older houses are too short so doorways and ceilings are a pain. Clothes never fit right because height and weight sizes don't allign even at big and tall stores. My knees hit everyones dashboard, less of an issue in cars made after 2015 or so. Same with airplanes I have to buy buisness or first class because i do not fit in coach comfortably. It's nice for some things and women like me alot more for being taller despite being average face, but the negatives outweigh most of the positives. Especially when you're introverted and antisocial but stick out literally eveywhere
when something gets popular, it usually starts changing its design to match a wider audience (i.e. gets casualized). Being a contrarian is actually a defense mechanism against slop
normgroids that only play sport slop and call of duty want to know my favorite game
Why are normgroids like this?
I'm neutral on this.
If you only like popular stuff then you'll end up boring and probably have lower standards.
But if you only consume obscure media then you'll look stupid when you have zero knowledge of anything mainstream.
I would personally find it weird for instance if someone has played all Inti Creates games, but barely knows anything about Mega Man
My fav band is cream
Autists in the thread, please do NOT say you don't listen to music unless you want a spaghetti moment. Just say you listen to a "little bit of everything" and then ask what they like
cry of fear
simulacrum: chapter one
Organ Quarter
afraid of monsters director's cut
Infra
Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi
Penumbra
The Void
Mfw when a petite goth big titty green eyed ebony babe introduced me to my favorite band Alice in Chains™ but I never asked her to date or told her what I really felt about her for being a pol/tard
It's true though
Death Grips
they're an ironic rap group. It's two white guys and the nerdiest negro since steve urkel. MC Ride is a persona, a character.
I dont listen to music and people think Im a fucking psychopath
My favourites are Type O Negative and Pantera. You're welcome
but what if it's true? the only time i "listen" to music is when i put on some background track 12 hour youtube video when i'm doing something else.
Yes, every time I tell my friend the name of game I play he has no clue what I'm talking about.
to actually answer OP only for pretentious twats claiming they only like obscure indie games or untranslated jrpgs, shit like that.
I understand the logic behind basedjacking out over complex sounds, moments of innovation, or great lyrics. but personally I just focus on whether I enjoy the music or not
Post the last song you listened to
youtube.com
In. The. Sunshine of your looooooooooove
This but for real.
You fellas will never know the feeling of following NEEDY GIRL OVERDOSE early on then seeing it turn into a mascot in quirktastic Tiktok egirl mental illness competitions
I always did that when i still talked to people.
Always awkward when they inevitably follow it up with "like what".
I'd just shrug and go "ya know".
Awkward as fuck.
I find the "favorite band" concept repulsive. I don't get it. With spotify and bandcamp I can find more music, I see no reason to shackle oneself to only one band.
As a metalfag I just name some classic normie approved bands unless I’m talking to someone who won’t make cringe faces just because I named something obscure.
I don't know any bands at all, it's all vidya music for me.
I love these niggers like you wouldn't believe
surrounded by rap fans my entire life
didnt like rap as much as instrument music
get weird looks and comments
sad to say but still goes on today
ya hurd
I say "Nothing that would interest you" because I don't want to share that stuff to other people. It's none of their business and I don't want people to know personal things about me.
I literally don't listen to music. I have audiobooks on during commute and while doing chores. I don't have time for music, it's a waste of time for my ears.
No one I ever brought this up to thought I was a loser or weird. They seemed to respect the grind.
Flying economy sucks for all men. It doesn't matter how tall or fat you are if you shoulders are wider than the seat. I am also pretty introverted but I have learned to just accept I'm going to be rubbing on these random people
omg he is so cool
the negatives outweigh most of the positives
Did you actually experience life as a manlet or do you just assume the grass is greener?
Average height in the US is 5'9. You are 6'5. If you were a manlet with the same height difference from the average, you'd be 5'1. How do you think your life would have been different if you were that height?
I only play obscure Japanese games. Vagrant Story, Ico, Legend of Dragoon. You probably haven't heard of them.
hey anon what's your favorite game
uhhh uhhhh red dead redemption 2 or the new god of war game or elden ring or uhhh oh yeah that new clair obscur game hahahaa it's hard to decide... haha what about you
That's still listening to music
Just name a band you know
Wojaks STILL aren't funny or creative
Every time you tell a normalfag "i don't listen to music" you get -1 reputation with them, just lie that's at least a net neutral.
It's a shame their latest albums are just alright. There's still some high points in there, but certainly not my favorites.
HOWEVER, I saw them last year and it was easily a top 10 live performance. You owe it to yourself to see them
Yes, but you should be doing the sigma strat.
X, AFTER IM DONE WITH YOU, YOU WILL BE PLAYING ALL THE TOUHOU SERIES AND ENJOYING IT. MY GAMING TASTES MUST MULTIPLY AND SPREAD!
technically a meh Lou Reed song from his first album (was fine but wouldn't listen again) since I've been trying to listen to a bunch of different artists and their full albums
but I did listen to this right before that album
youtube.com
Usually telling them that you listen whatever is on radio works.
Every fucking time i try to discuss some media with someone all they know is the lowest common denominator shit. I don't even do the "oh i listen to the obscure band and watch silent era movies while playing untranslated eroge", i just take something surface level and well known and people still don't know it.
What you're listening to
Umm... Pink Floyd
wuzdat
Boomer rock group, have you heard of it?
Umm no i'm more into rap
Oh i'm also a jpegmafia fan
Ermmm.... I just listen to Playboy Carti and Tracis Scott. .. Ur weird xD
I unironically listen to Rough Edge while driving
youtube.com
If people ask me what it is, I tell them its porn music
my taste is so normie that normies run away from it to immigrate into gatekept (chud) communities
FIVE DIMENSIONAL CHESS
they know you're a liar
Yes but if the female you're trying to lure to your kill room likes you enough they'll let you dodge the conversation with an obvious conversation stopper.
Nah that's worse. It'll be interpreted by a normal person as an invitation to dig into your taste unless your delivery was super autistic.
Nope, you name any non pop/rap group they'll think you're a freak.
oh i listen to the obscure band and watch silent era movies while playing untranslated eroge
but don't really listen to music anymore anyway. don't have the patience to flip through new stuff anymore like i used to lol
Happened to me with Rainworld where for the longest time it was stuck to 200 reviews and then exploded to popularity when the troon community found it along with breadtubers.
I am assuming because I can't br shorter but I like women who are taller than me but they're almost all unattractive because at that height their body proportions get fucked up. If I was like 5'5? 5'9? I would be happier because there's options with in my preference. Atm I mostly date super shorties (4'9-5-5'0) and girls who like taller guys but are stuck being 5'10+
how would you feel at 5'1
Probably suicidal because now it's the opposite end of the spectrum I'm standing on stools and shit to reach things too high for me. The average power gap between me and the average person is drastically different. People don't fuck with me ever because of my height. If I'm 5'1? You'd be seen as fodder. btw at my height I have to buy extra large shoes they never have my size in stores i usually order 15s or 16s online but I'd rather be able to just buy everything in stores, clothes too
Tfw people are making fun of basic bitch bands in these thread
I've literally never heard any of their songs
I don't know how to "get" into music man. I'm at the mercy of the youtube algorithm recommending me songs
It's been 2 weeks since it trapped me into The Odyssy musical and I can't escape.
for video games? honestly don't know. there are some music artists i unironically wouldn't tell people i liked though
find someone that likes the same music i do
they only listen to entry level stuff and music that is wildly different from it, but claims its the same shit
Every time
I usually never tell people what my actual favorite game is and just give the most basic answers like CoD or Mario unless I like and trust someone
soundcloud.com
This is me except I'm not admitting to anyone I listen to furry trans punk/breakcore/alternative.
