What music is considered coworker music lol? Like, isn't all music coworker music?

[–] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

In the video I watched it was the most over produced mainstream pop like Harry Styles. Or they'll say something like, 'I was in a dark place and this song saved me. It's such a powerful song' and it's Imagine Dragons.

The reason she's so big is because your coworkers need to listen to something

Ah okay that makes sense, like generic pop, popular with the majority music.

I have no clue what my music says about me, I tend to jump between Käärijä (finish rap/pop), Blind Guardian, and Paul Simon 😂

Sounds like you have too distinct a taste to be a coworker, but I'd like to check out Käärijä and see what I think. I need to listen to how well Finns pull off rap for myself.

I feel like coworker music is either the most generic music ever, or they listen to something incredibly niche but it sounds terrible.

I found Käärijä via Eurovision a few years ago 😂

He has one EP and two albums, I love pretty much every song so I'm biased haha I'd say his genres are a mix of rap, pop, and a bit of metal.

Takavoltti
Ruoska (whip)

I think that's the point. It's music you'd never listen to, but others would.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm an other person, my taste counts

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

Everyone's taste in music counts. Too personal no to. I will judge (silently) certain musical choices, but would never criticize or poke fun.

Ah okay so Taylor Swift 😂😂😂
