It's definitely not my go-to, but the older I get, the less I give a shit about the image that accompanies certain music and what I think any of it says about me to others. Like I liked a lot of the rock music from the 90s when I was in high school, but for the most part, I wouldn't show that to others, I was a rap guy first and foremost, and at 16 years old I was concerned that my street cred would take a hit if I liked Nirvana, lmfao, so I just listened to shit like Mobb Deep publicly. Nowadays, as an adult, my eclectic tastes are applauded.
So if kind of just arrived at "good tunes are good tunes." Its kind of funny to me in retrospect, how dumb we are about all that when we're younger. Christ, I worked at a Hollister in the mid-00s, and I just wasn't trying to hear the pop punk music they played (although I already liked Blink-182), and furthermore, I used to tease one of my coworkers for his "emo" music, one band of which was Taking Back Sunday. I just wasn't even hearing it, and just immediately dismissed it, because at that time, I was still almost fully immersed in the rap life, I was a big Dipset disciple, I loved all the other stuff of that era, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, little (GAG still autocorrects to "Little"🙄🤦‍♂️) Wayne, etc. After 30, I started exploring more types of music, since I don't really love a lot of the newer variety of rap music, and I'd been listening to my previous music forever, and I just needed something fresh. Whoops, turns out Taking Back Sunday is incredible, lmfao, and they were right under my nose ten years beforehand, but I dismissed them because I thought the kids that liked them had weird haircuts and wore their jeans too tight. I'd love to find my old buddy Ryan again and just be like "bro... I'm sorry... you were right, TBS is awesome."
The longer I live, the more I realize how much we get programmed by society and how little control most of us really have over ourselves, we really allow that conditioning to take over in fear of social rejection. Like I still never warmed up to country music, I think that rural lifestyle is so foreign to me that it's hard to relate to. But I could still tell you that dudes who listen to it, it's probably "cool" to like Eric Church or something, but if a dude was like "man, I love me some Carrie Underwood songs", there'd probably be an audible record-scratch noise as every cowboy in the bar turned around like "wtf? Take your fucking skirt off, bubba..."
So like I said, I don't really seek out pop music, but I'll hear it if it comes my way. I most likely won't love it, I wouldn't listen to it with the boys, but if I'm at the club with my girl or some female friends? Let's dumb out on the dance floor to some Katy Perry, I don't care, haha. TGIF? California Gurls? That shit slaps, I ain't gonna front. Great melody and a great hook, I'm open to it. Again, I don't think I'd bump it riding solo down at the beach boardwalk, but in the right situation, with the right company? Let's get loose, ladies💃🏻🕺 Just drop your front and have fun sometimes, who cares? I'm not too cool for Miley Cyrus lmao. I remember being at a college party with some of my younger coworkers in like 2012 probably. The DJ was playing all dubstep... because it was a 2012 college party lmao... but then all of a sudden the kid plays Call Me Maybe. All the dudes, who are early 20s, are like "aw Turn this off!" At this point I was 33, so I was a little older and wiser, and I'm just like "have fun frontin', bros! You can be the guys who are too cool for Carly Rae Jepsen, I'll be the guy dancing with six college chicks✌️" Just gotta have fun, man, life ain't so serious.

This isn't true for me... I have noticed this myself though, and it kinda bums me out honestly. My favorite female pop singers at the moment are Dua Lipa, Rina Sawayama, and Charli XCX... 3 badass women in their own right that, might I add, are ALL OVER album of the year lists this year. And it's major publications right down to independent figureheads/YouTubers and individuals on the internet, they're making waves...
But for guys, I don't know, for many it's like they have to feel like a man... if they listen to female artists, it's like their masculinity is "threatened" or put into question. It's the dumbest thing ever. It makes it hard to recommend new artists to friends too, because they get weird and judgmental about what female artists you enjoy. It's whack and I hate it.
I could comment so much more on this, but I'll leave it at that for now. A lot of people are pretty toxic (and lazy) with their opinions (in general), especially in regards to music.

I doubt it has something to do with sexuality or sex/gender, but thats only from my perspective
But if you got a different taste (if you like metal or rock, or hip hop) in music you don't listen to Pop music.
In this other genres you do have some fantastic Bands with female vocals or all female.

Guys try to act all manly in case a woman is watching lol. Some of us don't care, me included. I love Adel, Alecia keys and gwen stefani and Hailey Williams. I like what I like I don't care if people don't think it's manly enough I'm still a strong man who likes to sing Adel occasionally lol.

I don't understand, are you just generalising guys' music tastes? I don't listen to pop personally but I'm sure there are a lot of people who do
i just saw a lot guys dont and hate

I enjoy any song from any genre regardless of the singer guy or a girl... In fact I used to really like pop in late 2000s and early 2010s.. Lady gaga rihanna Katy perry Adele and many... But the music all around became really bad for a while.. full of cunts like drake and stuff

It's alright, i don't listen to any new music, very very very few new songs. Don't care if it's a male or a female singer. I don't listen to a song just because it as a good beat, i need lyrics too that relates to me.

I don't listen to pop music. But i don't mind listening to female singers. Nightwish is a band that always had female singers, and i have been listening to them for years now.
Your boyfriend isn't special, there are a lot of straight guys out here like like pop songs, myself included.

I've listened to female songs plenty of times. It's just music. I've listened to Ariana Grande - thank you next, Nicki Minaj - pills and potions, Carly Rae Jepsen - call me maybe, Miley Cyrus - party in the USA

i have countless favorite pop and jazz female singers
let me mention the main 4 : whitney houston (usa) , marie fredrikson ( swedish) , sophie ellis bextor ( British) and anri ( japanese)
What makes you think this? lol I listen to pop music. Music is music. Nothing to do with your sexual orientation.

I'm not a big fan of pop music in general. Singers like Ariana Grande don't really appeal to me. (No tears left to cry was pretty good tho)
chHaynes
I was bet they do they're just not going to admit it I can admit I do listen to a few songs are female artists
I don't like pop music of the variety you mentioned, but I like female singers, maybe even more than male singers. But there just aren't as many of them in rock.

It may be the women, or girls that do the singing not the music.
People usually listen to the kind of music they happen to enjoy.
Pete671 | 223 opinions shared on Other topic.
I don't know, I listen to Madonna, Karen Carpenter, Shampoo, Spice Girls, Kate Bush,
Because pop music and most music by female artists is generally garbage that doesn't appeal to most men.

Actually we do. But it's usually a private shame.
Because it's gay for us to listen
