Avoid the album pictured in your post as well as any other goblin inspired music and you should be good. Just follow your ears and always look for new things. Give stuff a chance, don't immediately dismiss things.

When you feel something is shit, give no heed to all the 'give it more listens', 'you need to have an understanding of the genre to appreciate it', and other 'you'll like it if you make yourself like it'-s. It's that simple. Music never requires theoretical knowledge to appreciate it.

's 'Give stuff a chance' is also a wording a plebeian will try to coerce you with into appreciating his lazy music: 'if you don't like my music, it means you heartlessly refuse to give stuff a chance'. It's very easy to spot such artistic blackmail when you know what to look for.

It doesnt require theoretical knowledge, but sometimes a record will definitely grow on you. If you cant stand it, sure, ignore people telling you that you have to like it, but if it's not bad, give it some listens. Some of my favorite albums took a good number of listens

Listen to Indigo Girls and lick our carpet

>sometimes a record will definitely grow on you

Perhaps, but I think 'you'll debase yourself to like a sloppy, repetitive record' is a 100 times more common phenomenon.

Step One : Don't use the word "patrician" to refer to anyone besides the elite upper class in the Roman civilization.

In other words, everyone is born and initially raised with a kind of a base musical expectation, and our choices can either increase or decrease our tolerance for bad efforts. Don't let the latter happen, or you risk spending your time on 'giving a chance' to them, which you don't want.

Cured my chronic depression, might make you a patrician

I actually want to do this

Go for it, I'm not even joking it worked. My life outlook changed and waking up suddenly became a pleasure again, despite everything still being objectively shitty

If you're interested just set up a really long playlist, I used mixes from oitj.casiotone.org/

I'm listening to it right now

and you can't stop me.

Definitive guide to being patrician:

Whenever a 'post your fav albums' thread comes up, post albums with the follow criteria:

>the older and more obscure the better, less people will have grounds to criticise you that way
>pick albums that are inherently flawed in some ways but have clear strengths also
>when given the choice to pick an artist's best work, go for the contrarian answer, but not so much that you're blatantly wrong e.g. never pick something like Pablo honey for Radiohead's best work

For example, you might like the individual sound of each track on an album like In Rainbows better, but it is too popular or 'redditcore' to be patrician. Therefore, even though it goes against your genuine like for the sound of the album, pick something like Amnesiac.

Use this sort of thinking for every artist imaginable and there you go, you're patrician. Its honestly as clear as day when you see people doing this sort of thing.

Pleb and newfag here. Could I ask why is ItCotCK a plebeian album? I'm genuinely curious.

Because it's popular and receives mainstream attention, and for the reasons
describes

but in rainbows is pretty boring and amnesiac is sick

b-but in rainbows IS my favourite album ;_;
tbqh tho these days i can't really pick one anyway

Ten minutes is probably enough. Damn that's shit.

Yeah, Radiohead's work I just find easy to use as an example in this case because it's so familiar to people. I can understand people saying they prefer Amnesiac to IR but lets be honest, one is clearly seen as more 'partrician' than the other by mu.

That's what I'm saying, it's stupid to try and be patrician because some albums will never be deemed 'patrician' by mu, simply for being what they are and what they can be compared to in an artists discography. If anyone tells you contrarianism has nothing to do with being patrician they're full of shit, it happens in almost all cases. Therefore people who are trying to seem patrician may genuinely prefer the sound of In Rainbows but pick Amnesiac just because it's patrician choice.

I can't help but feel this is the exact opposite of being patrician in some cases. Some music that is deemed patrician can be so abrasive and raw on the first listen that first time listeners will be turned off almost immediately. Especially if they're not used to that kind of music whatsoever. Yet it's often albums that have these unconventional sounds that are so often deemed 'patrician'. In these cases I would say repeat listens or a better understanding of what your listening to are vital to enjoying it.
