Try this five-step approuch:
Step 1. stop listening to hip-hop. Step 2. stop waisting money audio equipment until you've accomplished step 1. Step 3. start saving now for the hearing aids you're going need a little later on in life (hearing loss is permanent and good hearing aids cost many times what a good pair of Audiophile headphones cost. Step 4. buy some Miles Davis, and Charles Mingus albums.

RayFCorrection:
Step 1. Listen to a wide variety of music from all sorts of genres, because pretty much every genre is full of absolutely wonderful music if you are willing to take the time to find. it.
Step 2. Don't write off a major genre just because you personally don't find the idea of it compelling.
Step 3. Most definitely don't let other people dictate what music you enjoy.

fhoodYou seem to be struggling with a more fundamental issue: the definition of Music.
Many young people today assume that since hip-hop is often sold as music, it must actually be music. This is a common misconception. Likewise, at one time, people believed human sacrifice was akin to their religious beliefs, and more recently (and more tragically, I might add), people actually believed Disco was a form of music). Today of course, we know neither is the case (both human sacrifice and Disco have been outlawed in civilized society for many years).
There are many examples of popularly mistaken beliefs in the world today; some people confuse Budweiser with beer for instance. Still others believe inhaling and exhaling billowy clouds of perfumed vapors will make them appear more attractive to members of the opposite sex. And inexplicably, a small minority of people in this country actually believe Donald Trump has a clue.
Yes, it can be a confusing world at times--especially for millennials hell-bent on assimilation at any cost. My advice to you: avoid religions that spatter blood on your clothing, never appear in a photograph with a can of Buddweiser, and by all means, never listen to hip-hop (or disco)--in studies, both have lead to diminished mental capacities--in lemmings.

JaxLI see hip-hop has done wonders for your typing skills--you must be lampin’ Big Willie-style? I kin tell you mos def-ny ‘bout it!
On the other hand, If by old music, you mean anything recorded prior to last Thursday? Maybe some, but here's a tip for you, music has no expiration date--if it's good, it's good for good! Unlike that transfer-of wealth-with-a-beat you're probably listening to right now. Pay on my brother, pay on!

RayFwhy did you even come on this post? just to hate on what I like? you must be really insecure if you think you're better than me just because you like something thats different. fuck off bro Im done responding and giving you the only human interaction you'll have all day. youre either a troll that craves attention or youre an unlikeable fat fuck that hates on what other people like so you can feel better about yourself.

JaxLOH! Out comes the "hater" schtick; you're really go'n for the big guns now!
Don't be so defensive; learn to stickup for yourself when you're sure of yourself--but not as a reflex. Yes, I'm making fun of your for your taste in music (what passes for music anyway). What of it? Hell, if you really feel that strongly about it, defend it! Tell me why it's the ONLY thing you said you listen too. Maybe you've got a good reason? Maybe you made an informed choice between various other forms of music you'd listened to in the past, and decided you prefer hip hop because (fill in the blank).
You know, you could say: I tried Davis and Coltrane, and even some Sidrin--and man, they just didn't speak to me!" Or you could have said: "Dylan, and Mitchel, Waits and Hammond, man I left those guys in the dust along with Watters and Wolf, when I first heard Bigge Smalls back in the back in '83!"
But you didn't. You said: "I only listen to hip hop and I like bass." You'll have to forgive me if what I read in between those was: "I only listen to that because I don't know about anything else, and that's all my friends listen to it too anyway."
That would be the same I me writing "I only listen to Country and Western because I'm White and voted for Trump" And if I would have said any of that shit, even I would be making fun of me right now! Which is to say, I feel pretty much the same way about Country and Western and hip-hop, as I do about Trump--but I'm prepared to defend myself on each of those scores. You?

Well let's see, from my end, it looks like Tman529368's "Let's see yalls rigs" post. Strictly speaking It wasn't grammatically correct, but we got the gist. Lotta nice equipment there from some mighty free-spending Audiophiles. Didn't notice much Denon stuff there but I can't say I was look'n for any either...
So tell me, what do call it?

MotorradNo obla "Meme" but I did think it was quite humorous (tell you the truth, I crack myself up sometimes) but I have to tell you, it's not my obligation to keep you entertained, and you're welcome to a money back guarantee if you're not 100% satisfied--just return the unused portion for a full refund!
And yes, here as there, a few folks who claim to enjoy my stuff, 30-ish here and 300-ish there. There in my case it's Flickr. Over there, we only sweat the details. You can find a link to my other stuff where I posted it, many months ago--on my, wide opened, nothing locked and nothing to hide, bio page. Be there, or be square!
