i mean, me personally, back in the day i'd only listen to shit if i knew it was relatively popular. if something was unfamiliar to me, i most likely wouldn't listen to it. of course, there was a few exceptions, but otherwise, i'd only listen to popular shit.
i don't talk to normal people enough to really know if this is true, so take this with a grain of salt, but i feel like it might be the same for a lot of people. only listening to shit if it's popular, 'cause it's familiar. makes you wonder how many basic white people would have their worlds turned upside down just from listening to, like, chemlab, or some shit. i'm saying shit a lot today, sorry.
i don't know, i'm just thinking out loud. i rarely ever go on this website lol. i mostly use it just because i like messing with my profiles css. whoops. anyway if you want real blog shit go to my website #shamelessplug i talk about way stupider shit way more proudly over there.
edit: i forgot to say, hey! go listen to niche music, or something. find a cool genre and get obsessed with it, and maybe find a specific (possibly niche) artist from that genre and get super-duper obsessed with them! or don't, i can't really tell you what to do.
edit 2 electric boogaloo: everyone who sees this gets a free excuse to yap about their favorite niche artists in the comments btw

Doing a concious separation between popular and unpopular music sounds definitely abnormal... I don't even know which artists I listen to are niche

my favourite niche artists are the ones from my city, sydney. there’s a band called Regionals that dropped an amazing shoegaze album in 2024 called Spoonbender. i personally love post-hardcore, so some great bands from here in that scene are Closure in Moscow, Trophy Eyes, Valiant Hearts, Stepson and Hands Like Houses. there’s also a rock band that i love called Failsafe. i saw them on my birthday last year and i kind of know the singer. apart from my local scene, one of the best ‘niche’ bands i know is The Gloria Record. some of the most beautiful shit i’ve ever listened to.
