Do "objective" qualities of a song influence your enjoyment of the song?

  • Idk if this question even makes sense but hopefully it does and just wondering how others feel. I am extremely simple when it comes to my enjoyment of music, it basically just comes down to whether or not I think I will listen to it again. Not a whole lot of deep thought goes into it. I don't care if the song has cringe lyrics, is unoriginal, repetitive, etc, etc, etc. All that matters to me is I enjoyed listening to it and want to hear it again.

  • I think I understand what you're saying, and I can relate to a degree. Cringe lyrics or other people's opinions don’t usually influence my enjoyment of a song either.


    However, there are exceptions. For example, XODIAC's "Lemonade" is one of those songs I struggle to enjoy because it’s so repetitive—it’s literally just the word “lemonade” over and over. In cases like that, it does affect how often I want to listen to it compared to their other songs.


    As for "cringe" lyrics, I tend to chalk that up to non-native English speakers trying to appeal to international markets. I don’t necessarily blame the artists for that since they’re doing their best to connect with a global audience.

  • hmmmm yeah i can't listen to songs like wap , i can't listen to songs with profanity in them or songs that are overly sexual, such as the explicit version of seven and the ariana song 34 25 .


    as long as the lyrics aren't the dumbest thing ive ever heard im fine with them mostly


    also vocals are important in the sense i ocasionally can't enjoy songs because some people sound terrible

  • what do you mean by objective qualities?


    like song length - that is objective I guess - songs over 3 minutes > songs that are less than 3 minutes


    the quality of the lyrics are subjective no? - one person's cringe is another pride

    the amount of repeating in a song is subjective
