I can say I've never heard "Gucci Gang" so I feel like I lucked out here. Generally speaking pop music turns me off so not surprising

I envy you for having never heard it. The best isn’t bad but the lyrics and demeanor of the whole song makes it impossible for me to gather anything really from it. It’s like reaching for your whiskey but getting room temp water. As far as pop music with some meaning and heart behind it, if you feel like exploring and haven’t listened to him post Malone is pretty good. Lots of pain and heartbreak in his music, even in his happier songs I hear a bit of sadness but that’s why he’s my favorite pop artist

PM I do like actually, a lot of my old coworkers put on rap, hiphop, grime, so I do run into a lot of really great artists. Some of my new coworkers are way younger and their choices are... Questionable to me. I had somebody lose their mind that I hadn't heard of some guy named after a boat, or another whose name was mostly symbols instead of letters.

For reference I'm from a punk/metal background, spun DNB/dub/garage records for a few years and have a deep appreciation for blues/jazz/soul, so I'm not one to dismiss music easily. Heck, I'll take a T Swift day when my fry cook is in the mood

I see I’ve found a another person who actually listens to everything. I drive a tow truck so sometimes I get too far away for my Bluetooth FM adapter and have to go with radio, who whoever I’m towing has a preference on what to listen to so that as well as just looking for new music gets me some good exposure, especially since growing up I had rap, country, pop, grunge, rock (and all sub genres such as metal and grunge for simplicity) so I’ve never been one to just shy away from music. I’ve had a few instances where I didn’t know of some new artist and me nephew (who’s 17) shows me absolutely awe struck I hadn’t heard of whoever it is

Absolutely love this. Working in kitchens you get exposed to a LOT of different music, so I count myself fortunate. Finding new artists is always a great feeling!

I make an active point of digging for music sometimes so I am kind of stuck in my own feedback loop, but we're always sharing songs and artists because you really never know
