I feel superior for listening to classic rock

I know this has been said lots of times before and is even a meme. But the thing is that I'm basically the only one in my class who listens to classic rock music. Most others either listen to modern pop music or rap. I know for a fact that rock music made in the late 1960s, 70s and 80s is objectively superior to the junk they're listening to, thus I feel superior for having a superior taste in music. For this reason, I feel I have to constantly critize their taste in music, and this makes them hate me. :P

    Your taste in music sounds fine, but it's your attitude that sounds shitty.

    There is no musical genre that is superior. It all comes down to personal preference. I like most genres of music, but I don't think classic rock is the best. If anything I prefer alternative rock or punk rock over classic rock.

      You should reccomend me some songs! I mostly listen to soul, jazz, and blues so classical rock is far out of my usual taste. However, I want to try!

      I've asked people in real life before who've reccomended things like Linkin Park or Evanescence but I don't think that's really considered "classical" rock. I imagine more ACDC or... Others I dont know about haha.

        Linkin Park and Evanescence is alternative rock not classic rock. Classic rock would be like Motley Crue, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin.

            I'd personally rank them like this
            Led Zeppelin > Aerosmith > Mötley Crue

    Yeah, I used to feel cool because I wouldn't give in to mainstream music and only listened to indie, obscure music. Then I grew up!

            I feel superior because I like listening to Puddles The Clown covering Pink Floyd.

            But will the armadillo find me where I'm hiding you dreamboat queen?

    Is it normal? Yes. Is it cringey and untrue? Also yes.

    Yeah probably won’t work. Can’t fix stupid. I just thought that this is something you grow out of by the time of middle school. I remember when I felt superior for liking Michael Jackson in grade school and beginning of middle school when no one else really knew who he was.

    Also don’t know why someone would feel superior for liking hip hop.. everyone I know likes hip hop.. Even I like some hip hop.

    In my opinion, there’s no “right” or “wrong” music to listen to. Everyone has their own preference. I don’t know if this makes sense, but you can like cookies and ice cream at the same time. If someone only eats cookies, I would consider them inferior for not being willing to try other things. If anyone is superior for liking a certain genre, it’s the people who like every genre because they have more variety and more things they can enjoy.

    Thank you for the daily dose of cringe. You need to grow the fuck up and fast. Your taste in music has NOTHING to do with who you are as a person.

    “Oooh i listen to classical rock that means i’m better than you” shut the fuck up.

    People can listen to the trashiest songs but does that make them trash? No.

    Grow up.

    99% sure every serial killer/school shooter/white supremacist/child molester/murderer/etc ever listens to classic rock.

    Now i’m not saying everyone who listens to classic rock is a bad person, but i’m almost positive every bad person listens to classic rock. Are they better than me? No.

    My dad’s favorite genre is classic rock, and that’s great BECAUSE HES NOT AN ASSHOLE ABOUT IT. He still likes other music and doesn’t think less of other people’s opinions.

    I like all genres because I’m an open minded person who accepts different forms of music.

    If anyone is superior for liking a certain artist/genre, it’s Michael Jackson fans.

    You’re not superior. All you are is a washed up hipster who thinks they’re cool because they like something no one else in their class does. If everyone in your class was listening to classic rock I bet you would be listening to pop and rap. Hipster.

  • Older music is superior and you can't deny that.

      I listen to Classical and instrumental music, a majority of that music is older than classic rock (and most music), therefore I have superior music tastes than the entire music community.

    There does come a sense of pride knowing one understands that the crap they put out today (like Adele or Taylor swift) really does suck and that yesteryear's music is better.

    When we are young, we tend to take a lot of pride in our music taste, if we are into music more than average.
    Well except that one person who rocked out to Taylor Dayne. she must feel great shame.

  • Man, my shoulder has been KILLING me as I've been devoting myself to you. This might be the worst it's ever been.

    Mayhaps this is some sort of sign. Do you take satisfaction in that?

    I agree it is very weird. It’s a hipster thing to do. And I don’t think I ever really felt superior about the Michael Jackson thing, it was actually more like “haha you’re missing out on some great music”. But I don’t recall feeling better than people who didn’t like him. Either way, I think it’s safe to say that it’s a childish way to think. Only hipsters think they’re superior just because they like something that’s not mainstream. It’s pretty sad.

    The Beatles are shit tbh. Then there was this one time where our music teacher forced us to listen to a knock-off Superman song.

    Classic Rock was indeed superior in every way. Rock music since the 90s have mostly been all about power-chords. It's too simplistic for my taste.

    Only time will tell. There was plenty of crap played in the past that is long forgotten. It takes time to develop a standard for quality music. What you should feel superior about is finding gems among the noise of today. There is good music that is new, it is just harder to find.Be actually superior and find it. Otherwise you are just repeating what someone else said and that does not make you superior or unique.

    And thank you Weezer for doing a cover Africa.
