Music appreciation

Yesterday as I was busy shipping some young on screen couple, I realized on how little music I have been listening to. I have yet to download some Passion Pit and some Imagine Dragons to my list. I know a lot of hipster bands but I don't necessarily like them just because only few people know them. I give them a try and only some of those hipster bands pass my taste. Maybe I really have bad taste in music cause most times I tend to like the mainstream ones like Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga or Katy Perry. You can't blame me, a lot of their songs are catchy. But as I mature in life, I wanted to acquire sophisticated taste in music. I want to listen to bands where I can genuinely enjoy attending their concert. I want to be able to sing their songs and know it by heart. I don't want to attend a concert just cause their ticket price was within my budget. I want to fully enjoy the experience and really love their music. I genuinely love some artists but because the genre of the ones I listen to is diverse, I don't necessarily know what type of music I am into. Maybe none? Because I love listening to what my ears and heart love to listen.

I  have an issue with using my earphones when listening to music. I think that I am starting to have hearing problems so I am cutting down time in using them specially when travelling to work. When I listen to music, it should be in an open space with just the right volume. I want to be able to appreciate music in a way that is unbiased by what is popular and what is hipster. I want to listen to a song and tell from the words, from the rhythm, from the melody, from the beat if I like it or not. I don't want to base my judgment on the artist or on the opinion of others. If they say my taste in music is bad, at least I was not stressed out listening and forcing myself to like a certain type of music that I clearly don't like.

By the way, I think can't take my eyes off you is a god song. I like it.
