yonsé Posted January 18 Posted January 18 i mean, there are certainly artists who have much larger gay fanbases than straight ones.

dumbsparce Posted January 18 Posted January 18 If gay or straight sexual taste exists, why would that not apply for music too?
CottageHore Posted January 18 Posted January 18 I mean, idk, sure. Acknowledging there are cultural leanings to specific types of music supports the idea that there is such thing as stereotypical “gay music taste” and “straight music taste”. They’re obviously generalizations but that doesn’t make them invalid or non-existent.

Every cultural component has a slight genetic and physiological influence, even to a very small degree. Edited January 18 by CottageHore
gatito Posted January 18 Posted January 18 yeah if you see lana, taylor, ariana and nicki on some guys playlist you’ll instantly assume he’s gay
Tropez Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Yes. Like gay people love their dance pop, and their female pop stars. Go to most female pop star concerts and it will be women and gays.
yonsé Posted January 18 Posted January 18 1 hour ago, Armani? said: Yeah, like Nicki Minaj or Britney Spears But is it only because it's cultural or is something deeper than that It’s the concept of feminine sexuality and freedom and how that connects to the struggle gay men have as adolescents.
WokeEqualist Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Go to the Top 50 playlist for any non-English speaking country on Spotify, that's straight music
NoOneDiesFromLove Posted January 18 Posted January 18 It used to bother me whenever I saw people defining the music I listened to as gay music, but that was when I thought I was straight
vale9001 Posted January 18 Posted January 18 (edited) Yes absolutely, in every art. And with straight men in every power position since ever even the basic conception of quality, in every art, is based on their taste. Virginia Woolf has written beautiful essays about how the idea of great literature is based on the conception of men view of reality. Men tend to consider quality what is based on big events, what's show force and endurance, cynicism and violence. Women tends to make art about "Little things" of Life with (what men) consider oversentimentalism. That is reflected in every art. Rock music over pop music. Bob Dylan over Joni Mitchell (bob talks about politics and the big systems, Joni only about her love affairs). Movies with gangsters, wars, violence, cynicism, boxers, sports have always been considered over other genres. Still now using sentimentalism in movies make them not quality and "an Easy way to get people involved emotionally", while using violence as "Easy way to get people involved emotionally" is accepted as possible great art. That reflects men feelings in real society, how they hate to show weakness and how they love to show strenght. The way pop music has been labelled as guilty pleasure Is for the same reason, everyone should feel "guilty" to enjoy something is not build on masculine feelings. Things are changing a little bit. More women and gays in the power positions where art is made and where art is talked about, and we are seeing some change in these prospectives of how art discussions are approached.

burninredhot Posted January 18 Posted January 18 Yes. No straight guy listens to Kylie Minogue or Jessie Ware 1
John Slayne Posted January 18 Posted January 18 12 hours ago, Armani? said: How is listening only to female Pop any less stereotypical or "good taste" in this instance? 12 hours ago, Gladiator said: ironically gay men who only listen to britney, gaga, taylor, katy, etc. also have terrible taste in music. 12 hours ago, Trent W said: “YAS QUEEN pop girls” are not really better than any of those genres you mentioned Most of you are biased imho Each genre has its own best Saying gays have better taste is ignorant imo "you are biased" ??? we're talking about music taste. literally not a single person on the planet has an objective opinion. not even critics. to me female pop, alt, and female singer-songwriters or even queer electronic artists are on average better and I'd much rather listen to them than to whatever music straight people bump. idk why that's so controversial to y'all. gays are more likely to like the same music i like so yes, to me gays have much better music taste.
DamianSolo Posted January 18 Posted January 18 In and of itself, no. But in a world ruled by stereotypes, likelihoods and the perceptions based on that, absolutely. Taste A: Madonna, Beyoncé, Lana Del Rey, Nicki Minaj, Dolly Parton. Taste B: Bring Me the Horizon, Hans Zimmer, A Day to Remember, Imagine Dragons, Dance Gavin Dance Can a straight guy love and listen to the artists in Taste A, with his music library being comprised of such artists? Absolutely! Alternatively, can a gay guy love and listen to artists in Taste B, with his music library being comprised of such artists? You betcha! Is your typical straight/gay guy likely to listen to Taste A or Taste B?
BlackAura Posted January 18 Posted January 18 You think straight men never listen to pop girls when alone ??
