Does MGTOW Change Music Preference?

I dunno. I still tap my feet to Michael Jackson’s Billie Jean – even though the song is about Paternity Fraud. “She’s just a girl who claims that I am the one . . . but the kid is not my son”.

It took me 30 years to actually listen to the lyrics to “Always a Woman” ( Billie Joel )…. which is probably one of the most red-pill musical poems ever. It sounds like a blue-pill romantic/love ballad, but it’s definitely not.

Mind blowing.

Chris Rock once joked, “people like and listen to the music from the time they started having sex”.

Sorta. As has been said, seems a ton of songs are about love or sex in some way and by nature they are gynocentric. Despite this, I still can’t let go of RHCP, Queen, Talking Heads, Pink Floyd, the Beatles, etc. A lot of this stuff I grew up on and I very rarely listen to anything new. Not sure if that’s me being stubborn or if there’s less talent nowadays. At least there have been more comedic ones like ICP or Weird Al that don’t seem to do directly with any of the bs.

Thankfully I do listen to a lot of video game music which tends to have no particular meaning in the same way. I understand not necessarily everyone’s cup of tea, but maybe give some a try if you’re not a gamer but want to hear something new. Chrono Trigger, plenty of Final Fantasy, Lost Odyssey, Dark Souls or Bloodborne, Shadow of the Colossus, the Last Guardian, God Hand, Killer7, No More Heroes, Shadows of the Damned, Lollipop Chainsaw, Killer is Dead, Halo series, Metal Gear series, Drakengard 3(or even 1 if you can stomach through it, an acquired taste), Nier and Nier Automata, Yakuza series, early Silent Hill games, Earthbound and Mother 3, Cave Story, Undertale, Night in the Woods, probably plenty more I can’t think of right now.

Except female songs.

Still gynocentric, but songs written & performed by men are about “dying for her” and “laying himself down” for her “baby I’ll buy you / do anything for you”. . . .

Songs written & performed by women are “pay my bills”, “girls run the world”, “that don’t impress me much”, “we’re never getting together you douchebag” hateful s~~~.

A remarkable difference.

Even singers like Celine Dion who always sing about “love”, are all about RECEIVING it and what she GETS.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

^^True enough…I guess I haven’t listened to many female artists as it is. :P. I think the few I’ve enjoyed at all were Genki Rockets and Girl’s Generation, the first admittedly blue pill but at least not hateful and the latter being K-pop so I don’t understand a word of it anyway.

MGTOW not only changed my music preferences, but also movies and tv shows.

I can’t stand romantic crap where the guy is a servant to his queen.

MGTOW is not a movement, it is a way of life.

I was never into C&W so no my music preference has not changed.

I’ve been a hardrock and heavy metal lover for about 20 years now (since I was 12/13) and most songs are about pain, death, satan, nature, war, insecurities or “a feeling of not belonging”, and that’s perfectly fine with me.

Any significant life event will change you and your preferences to entertainment as a whole.

If your “MGTOW” moment was severe, you of course will come to dislike anything associated with it.

Less severe redpills will start the change but in a less dramatic fashion.

People change as they go through life due to socialization, even hermits.

Good memories are triggered by those songs/moments that we associate with them. Same with the bad.

We remember and enforce good moments while getting rid of everything associated with the bad,

Fortunately for me, no. Bob Dylan is still the man. I still enjoy a good night of listening to Gordon Lightfoot. I still enjoy my classical music. I never bought into love songs. They are written for women, so if you listened to a lot of that, you were being influenced.

I always hated love songs, so not really. There are so many topics you could sing about, I really don’t understand how every major hit can be about a simp begging for pussy. It’s mind boggling, but thats what Pop music is. Nothing but blue pills being dispensed on the air waves.

Around the time i listen to japanese music is around the time i became a mgtow.

Folks would ask me why do you listen to japanese music.

And I would say “its because unlike American and Canadian music, The women that sing songs don’t bore me to death with s~~~ty lyrics about love.

So now the only time I listen to women singing is in japanese if i know the album, and the story to the songs. Rock, metal, sometimes trance music, and some country songs like johnny cash.

Actions have consequences and consequences have prices. Cause and effect at work.

I started listening to Japanese Music about 10 years ago. It’s funny you should mention that. My friends used to make fun of me for it, but I really liked the music. Not understanding the Lyrics was actually a bonus because I could imagine they were singing about anything really. My favorite band was Supercar and the lead singer Koji Nakamura has an amazing solo career afterwards with “iLL” and “Nyantora.” Great stuff.

No I like Soul and funk, but I do wind forward a few as I can’t stand the lyrics, most are riddled with needy words and blue pill s~~~ , other times they make me laugh the lyrics so pathetic.

But the tunes I dig.

KM’s quote got me thinking about this. The first band/album that came to mind was Def Leppard’s Hysteria album. “Love Bites” is a hell of a lot more red-pill than I remember (I probably thought it was a love song at the time – late ’80s).

The new genre they call “urban” sounds sucky to me.

Ever since I went my own way, I noticed that almost every song I listened to was written about a girl they knew. It might be just me I’m not sure, but I really don’t want to listen to music that speaks about a girl they fell in love with. I started listening to metal and heavy metal much more.

me too. yes it does change music preference.

I love this thread. I used to be a huge music fan. Alternative, punk/hardcore, electronic, classic rock, black metal/heavy metal. While I was married I stopped listening to music altogether. I started selling my out-of-print CDs on Amazon. Since I got divorced, I still haven’t started listening to music again…but recently I heard some metal and electronic music in movies and elsewhere and got that itch to start listening again. I have to say metal and electronic music is great because it either doesn’t have lyrics or you can’t understand the lyrics (and if you could it ain’t a love song, that’s for sure). Rock music with honest, quality lyrics (not love song bulls~~~) is excellent too and will stand the test of time…someone mentioned Bob Dylan and Tom Petty, I’d add to that Pink Floyd, Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam…

I pretty much just listen to either ambient or classical music. Wagner is good except every time I listen I get this tremendous urge to invade Poland.

I don't hate women. I just feel better when they're not around.

Hey Techcumseh, do you have the ability to PM me?

[ghostParticipant]

I still listen to a lot of the same music. It doesn’t affect me one bit.
