Where do I start listening to actual music Sup Forums? Which genre should I try first? I want to be reasonably knowledgeable about music. How do I do it?

How did this even happen? Super conservative parents? By choice/lack of interest?
Mostly lack of interest.
best recommendation if you want to start out by being patrician. Also make sure you don't become a "rock only" faggot. Try Run the Jewels, Danny Brown and Death Grips.
this is a pleb op. lots of these guys pretend to be patrician but don't know shit.
Here. I made this list of all the albums actually worth listening to. Some people will try to argue against the list or complain or try to tell you other albums not on it, but these are generally the elite albums worth actually listening to.

>guy is such an autist he doesn't even get irony
I really hate this board
Start by listening to the beatles discography in chronological order, later report on what you like and didn't then get recs based on that.
If we're going to help you, we'll need you to be more specific.
1) What makes you interested in getting into music?
2) Is there a certain sound or concept you're looking for?
3) would you like to get album recs or band recs?
4) Do you feel like you understand the deal with music?
Some various cool things in various styles worth checking out:
Helmut Walcha - Johann Sebastian Bach's The Art Of Fugue (complex melodically and harmonically)
John Coltrane - A Love Supreme (great easy to understand example of improvisation)
Morbid Angel - Altars Of Madness (fast tempo, visceral, intense, driven)
Swans - Soundtracks For The Blind (variety of timbres and styles all in one)
Sasha And Digweed - Northern Exposure (upbeat but not super fast with moments of ambient bits; great for dancing)
Beach Boys - Pet Sounds (sissy boy pretentious shit that's felated on this site)
>"but these are generally the elite albums worth actually listening to."
>it's just a bunch of the most entry-level Sup Forumscore you can find
Nice pasta
To be fair, those are all very good albums.
Never fall for the hip hop meme
>Picking the wrong VU album
Use Rateyourmusic.
Askfm is a pretty broken site. I also find it hard to actually use effectively.
Rate any little thing you've heard on RYM, and then use the auto-reccomendations to find new stuff once you've listened to a good number of albums. Keeping your RYM to yourself assures that you won't start rating things based on fashionability. Don't be ashamed of using RYM to find stuff. It's the easiest way.
If you want to know what "everybody listens to" or "entry level shit", just go down the top list on the site. I started by rating 100 albums or so and then using my reccomendations to guide me further.
Another "entry level" source is the Sup Forums wiki chart section, particularly "mu-core" charts.
A lot of people are going to give me shit, but an alternative set of "entry level" albums are those considered good by Piero Scaruffi. They can be found either on scaruffi.com or more accessibly in organized form at rateyourmusic.com
