I never care about the lyrics. All I care is the instrument and the melody.
If it is not a black person music, all of it
It depends on how proficient they are. I understand nearly everything.
Depends on what music i listen to. I hardly understand what metal is singing about, but i can understand old rock bands like the Beatles, the Who to much extent
Inside outside leave me alone~
Pretty much everything unless there is a "mama appelsap" in the song and then you only hear that. It's something like this but instead from indian to english it's english to dutch: youtube.com
I'm sure you can transcribe every trash metal song out there, buddy.
still blows my mind how a non-native speaker could understand how that video is funny
This
What music do you like?
i can usually understand pretty much perfectly
except for songs that I think are unintelligible even to native speakers
that's a skill I'm very proud of and am obnoxious about when I'm around people and english music is playing
peple hate me, that's how good I am
We pretty much all speak English here with a funny accent.
It's pretty straightforward.
i mean that vid is sure, but i mean more the idea of getting humour in a foreign language. i could go and study danish for years and i probably still wouldn't get why something is funny in danish. it's pretty impressive desu
i probably understand nigger rap better than you lmao softboy whiteboy soygoy cucktoy
I almost never focus on lyrics, honestly, even in my native language. Probably because I listen to heavy music with indistinguishable vocals.
i think the moment i listened to an english language song and finally understood what it says is the turning point when i could finally claim "i understand english"
but it's not 100%, misheard lyrics is a real issue
>i could go and study danish for years and i probably still wouldn't get why something is funny in danish. it's pretty impressive desu
>this is what monolingual virgins think
almost 100%
