I might regret admitting this, but I like Nickelback and Imagine Dragons. Maybe it helps that I don't listen much to the radio anymore.

I also liked Smash Mouth until they played at that biker event during covid, the one after which cases exploded all over the US. Though in hindsight, it was probably inevitable that it would happen at some point anyways, so I don't feel as strongly about it now as I did back then because I still do like a lot of their songs, including All Star.

And I've come to realize that it's better to define your music tastes by what you like rather than what you hate. Having strong feelings of hatred just means you'll have a bad time if you randomly hear a song. I try to let me music tastes bottom out at mild disdain these days, like "I'd rather hear something else but it's no big deal."

Though some of the songs on Beat Saber are difficult to tolerate. I forget which collection it is, but one of them seems to have a theme of using unpleasant noises to make music. I don't enjoy it but also wonder if that's exactly how previous generations felt about some music I enjoy that they called noise. Out of curiosity, is there anyone who knows the songs I'm talking about that does enjoy listening to them?

I genuinely like Imagine Dragons. I know just one song by Nickelback and I like it a lot.
