I "met" Death Grips once, by which i mean they walked past me at Outbreak fest without speaking, making eye contact or acknowledging me in any way and I was like oh shit that's Death Grips :O
One time 100 Gecs roller bladed past me on a bike path in Los Angeles. It’s my favorite celebrity encounter because who even roller skates anymore? Gecs, of course.
and that is all thanks to 9/11! fun fact jon oringer ceo of shutterstock (in a deleted series of tweets) basically said "9/11 was bad! be happy :) shutterstock and many more companies created by me following this sad day !! x3"
yeah, the new slang people use for some words is weird. like i thought the word for this is more like.. just aux-denied songs since aux approved is already a slang.
@@KS-pi1kt They make very experimental music like psychedelic rock, (ngl kinda hard to classify via genre) and the composers are Chuck Salamone and Mason Lindroth
was in the netherlands and saw this guy alone on a boat in a canal blasting UPTEMPO with ANIME VOCALS on a HIGH VOLUME on jbl speakers and i just have so much respect like vro
I remember thinking that Death Grips was somehow ok to play out loud at home a couple years ago and realized it was not when the lovely old lady next door called the cops to check if I was ok.
Two trucks having sex! Two trucks having sex! My muscles, My muscles, involuntarily flex! --> Yes, that's a real song by my favorite artist I'm being so for real.
It was fine at first, but then the lyrics became absolutely outrageous "Two trucks holding hands"? How scandalous! Are they even married? Did they have a truck marriage, with a truck priest? Followed by the best honey truck moon of their truck life?
Carly Rae Jepsen should be played on the loudest speakers possible because the perception that she's a one hit wonder thanks to Call Me Maybe needs to be contested as much as humanly possible.
Wowaka is the exception because he’s the closest they ever got to mainstream, but damn if there aren’t producers out there who can make them sound like humans 👀
0:11 last summer I witnessed somebody someone do this not just in public but at a HOT SPRINGS SPA where people were trying to relax. Ngl I think it broke my brain a bit. The funny thing was that it wasn’t even something particularly offensive it was just the Beatles or something but he was really blasting it
Im kind of weird because i can blast Splatoon music in my house where my family can hear and that's literally music with squids singing gibberish but if i have a song that is even slightly 'normal' I keep it quiet even on headphones
Thankfully, at work im known as "the guy with the funked up music taste" so i can casually just blast femtanyl or some speedcore artist and people only bat an eye the first time
I just keep this shit to myself until I share my weird Spotify wrapped once a year to let everyone know I'm a freak and hope some freaks out there might be following me already that I just don't know are freaks yet.
I find it weird that people who constantly listen to top 40 rap can’t listen to Death Grips. Like if they think Travis Scott’s beats are worth trampling people over, you’d think Black Paint or BB Poison would make them go full nuclear.
Theres two types of Headphone Music for me A. Intricate noisy, electronic instrumentation that only works on headphones and is scary AF elsewise B. Super duper screamy punk and Metal, like LeATHERMOUTH, Gel, early Atreyu, stuff like that.
@@the_ratl0rd Haha, Yeah great band, sucks that the band members (except frank iero of course) went wacko so a second album never happened. But yeah.. I don't think Ill be Playing "5th Period Massacre" or "I'm going to kill the President of the United States" around other people anytime soon.
All my songs are this way. Underscores, Jane remover, porter Robinson, 100 gecs, nammdi, and quannnic rarely leave my headphones or room if I play them aloud.
Bro, a few days ago I was listening to the new Xiu Xiu record in a crowded room. My AirPods disconnected and started playing “Maestro One Chord” out loud near max volume. What’s even worse is I thought it was funny, so I just started laughing. I know damn well I looked insane 💀
Like many, I just realized I've been listening to headphone music out loud my whole life. Back around 2000ish (I'm 42 now) I was enjoying Mr Bungle - Egg at high volume. During the lull at about 7:00 in, friends of the family were leaving and their kid came in to say bye.. the deranged musical jumpscare happened just as they walked in, and they left in tears. I still feel bad..
As a metalhead like 95% of the music I listen to is headphone music. Like yeah I'm sure no one would care if I put metallica or system of a down on the aux, but I'm sure pig destroyer or sanguisugabogg would be a different story.
I tried to put in Periphery in my friend’s yesterday because I thought they were more accessible than other bands, then they turned it off halfway through the song
Back in high school I would listen to this furry electronic artist (Lapfox) and I'd be constantly scared of my friends finding out I liked their music and would think I was a furry. Also I remember one time I forgot to put my headphones into a school computer and everyone heard me listening to shitty early 2010s dubstep. I was made fun of for like one minute, but nobody brought it up ever again.
2 years ago I made a really long and structured chiptunes playlist, that was headphone music this whole time. Then me and a friend go watch the Tetris movie (awesome movie by the way) and he says "damn this video gamey music goes hard", so I decide to blast this playlist while giving him a ride back home, it felt good for two tracks, then i noticed i should've pretended this never happened and put it back in the "headphone music" category. Social norms are hard, 1/10.
in 2014 I lived in a flat with three strippers that played Death Grips before going out to work every time. There are definitely people who play this shit loud and proud and I'm tired of pretending everyone is a boring self conscious potato.
I tailor what music i play in social settings to the tastes of those around me, but when I'm just playing out some music while i do housework or shower, my folks are gonna hear anything from jazz to metal to avant-garde post punk to bluegrass & anything in between
I am a manager who works at a company that says we shouldn't play music in the workplace, even on headphones. I'm in charge of an outdoors space. I said screw the rules and play music if you want and I play music that might even count as headphone music in my playlists at work, it's really made the other employees feel more comfortable playing their own music and putting it on before I can touch the aux!
i didnt knew what headphone music means before watching the video, so i thought its Music that hat a lot of stuff going on (like JPEGMAFIA and Death Grips) so that you need to listen to it with headphones, to really catch all the details
I thought headphone music would be music that only sounds good on headphones like the production is that good its like a diff experience on headphones than speakers
As someone who listens to music that’s definitely not mainstream (vocaloid, hardcore, shibuya-kei, picopop), there’s a couple of times I’ve played my favorite songs in front of other people. Yeah… it definitely got me some weird looks. But for some reason it still felt good.
im a proud speaker kid i’ve been playing my speaker music in public since 7th grade i think i’m a necessary nuisance. i play brutal death metal on my jbl speaker becuase yk. i gotta put it to use, theres other no reason for it to have as much battery life. its a portable speaker. i also like dancing to it in public. like i do air guitar, i do bobs burger dance… but i also know when to limit my music. i don’t play the music in buildings or transport. i’ll play it quietly in walmart because its walmart. so i’m not a completely annoying weirdo nuisance i just like being a fun nuisance.
Most of the bands I listen to are headphone music not because it's bad but because it sounds so good on headphones compared to speakers. Tool, Pink Floyd, and Opeth being a few examples. The thing that makes a good headphone band is the production and the complexity of audio. A great example is Invincible by Tool, if you listen to it on your phone speakers you'll probably find it kinda boring, but if you listen to it on a nice pair of headphones you'll likely think it's one of the best songs you've ever heard.
lateralus is basically an entire album where I can't stand listening to it on speakers, even good ones. you really need good headphones to actually appreciate and listen to it
@@yes_lad Yeah I think a lot of the hate for Tool and a lot of the reason people think they're boring is because they don't have the proper headphones to appreciate the band. Everyone I've ever played a Tool song for on a nice pair of headphones has thought they were amazing (even people who only listen to mainstream Pop).
@@user-br2gi8kh5s yeah I swear the only bad things I've heard about tool is that they're boring but that's just a preference kinda thing. I prefer the super long 12 minute songs
Music you'd find in very difficult rhythm game levels dould also be headphone music lol No way you'd wanna blast the crazy Camelia tracks or Frums tracks on the aux would you?
I do relate heavy especially on the desensitized to what is and isnt headphone music point i listen to alot of new music and nowadays i go off asking the person what their favorite genre or artists are and work from there
Usually I’m not embarrassed about any music I listen to around my friends, they know i have… “eclectic” taste. It’s when I’m at work or just in public that I’m more careful
I remember when I was getting into Primus in high school and I tried to get my friends into it but they just looked at me like “What the hell is this?” One time I was hanging out with them at a Best Buy (back when they still sold CDs) and I was gonna pick up their Can’t All Be Zingers album when my best friend was like “Dude, you’re not serious are you? You gotta make better financial decisions” Later I picked it up when I was with my dad and brother and dad let me put the CD in the player and after about 5 song he was like “You know what I think? I think we just pissed away 10 buck!”
I love listening to headphone music when I work, when I'm in the bathroom, when I eat, when I sleep, when I walk, when I talk. Jokes aside I love listening to different genres of music whenever I can. And I am more of an album guy, at least for the last 2 years since I started doing that.
id say femtanyl is *the* example of headphone music for me 150bpm+ aggressive breakcore with screamed lyrics and bitcrushed everything almost and that shit goes Hard. As. Fuck.
I play a lot of french gangsta rap. In most places it's fine as blasting music. Nobody understands those lyrics. During my trip to France I made sure my headphones were closed back.
Most of the time, I listen to symphonic power metal. Even play guitar myself. I'm a bearded 183cm grown man with broad shoulders, but if you throw on Emotion or Dedicated by Carly, I *will* sing along to every single song with enthusiasm. Just gets you in a good mood, man.
i do not fear playing the weird parts of my playlists out loud (for the most part, once i was playing my favorites playlist while i was in the car with my parents and literally the SECOND song that came on was emo boy by ayesha erotica, i have never jumped for the skip button so fast in my life) so my headphone music is in fact the basic stuff like imagine dragons and (unfortunately) hamilton
One time in high school, I sat down next to somebody I didn’t know very well. She asked me what I was listening to, then looked at my phone when I hesitated. It was the Butthole Surfers.
Saying one gets “desensitized” to headphones music isn’t fair in my opinion. Ones taste just evolves past the standard societal norms. Especially if the person in question is listening to more experimental stuff that goes into complex uses of music theory not typically used in pop music. Or even something as simple as sound texture itself can be all the difference in certain genres being less popular. This is why the creative liberty of music is so limited when it comes to pop music. Humans like patterns, but it takes a certain type of human to actively seek out, solve, or create new patterns. Most will stick to the comfort of the already most popularized since it takes way less effort, which is lazy in my opinion. But if you enjoy what you listen to or create, then that’s all that really matters. Different people require different standards and some are higher than others, and that’s ok :)
I was bumping Godflesh - Slavestate EP working on something in my civics class last year, and it was awesome-- That was until the teacher walked from the opposite side of the classroom and told me to turn it down because it was too loud I had been listening for over 20 minutes and nobody said a word 💀
5:13 this actually happened to me on the school bus in high school. a mutual friend took out my earbuds while i was napping and popped one in his ear, he didn't talk to me for like 2 weeks after hearing what weird shit i was listening to.
wow i never have shared my spotify playlist but i love hearing others, its like flipping over a rock on the beach, maybe someday i will be comfy :) this made me feel like so many people have my music taste im just a very isolated person
i remember thinking i was the only one scheduled at work one day, so i pulled out my speaker and turned a playlist, stepped out of the room for a minute, came back and my boss was just STANDING there FLABERGASTED because Punk Weight by Death Grips (the intro) was playing and i felt extremely embarrassed. I've never listened to death grips out loud since then, that was 2 years ago
a death grips song came on while I was on aux at 11 am, at the local sandwich shop i work at, and honestly everyone loved it and thought it was hilarious
I relate to this a ton lol. I probably listen to more headphone music than non headphone music. I remember trying to show some friends my favorite record of all time (oneohtrix point never - replica) and I’m so far down the rabbit hole/somewhat socially inept that the thought of playing ambient music at the function being a bad idea didn’t even cross my mind. I really only have one friend where we both just play absolutely ANYTHING wherever (the car, in the house, etc.) and that aspect of our friendship is so valuable to me
Most of my music is "headphone music", because with most of them you gotta be an internet degenerate to enjoy, stuff like game OSts, breakcore, jungle, every now and then there's just a fantasy track or bit of dungeon synth for chill value. I don't really like music with lyrics unless it REALLY slaps.
Bro RU-vid is stalking me, today I asked my friends: what song-s do you listen to by you but not around other people, cuz I’m curious and I listen to everything (I love making people feel like they can be themselves)
im an opposite of what you’d usually think with this in the sense that my mother likes metal so metal is the normal music that plays out loud in our house and my headphone music is what other people would think is safe. I am hiding my chappell roan
