What changed Zig Forums? Has this kind of cycle (disliking something for years, and then suddenly doing a 180 on it) happened to anyone else?
you started grad school. you've become mentally ill enough to apply for grad school, which means youve endured enough suffering and have enough built up brain damage that you now enjoy causing yourself discomfort.

I could have phrased that better. I'm a year into my grad school program and I was studying when I decided to listen.
Yeah, it sucks. I think about quitting constantly only to realize there's no fucking way I could pay my debt without finishing, so I just drink another cup of coffee and read another book instead
Elijah Long
I had a similar turn on DG but in a much shorter time. Exmilitary is kino drinking music.
>He come to me with money in his hand
Chase Gomez
Actually, nevermind. My reading comprehension sucks, kek. For some reason I thought you thought that I was trying to get in to grad school
Noah Reed
>there's no fucking way I could pay my debt without finishing Oh no no no
Ryder Phillips
I picked a major with good job prospects and pay, not too worried on that end
Aaron Bailey
Listened to Exmilitary after Zig Forums hyped it up so much. Hated it. Then a few months later I got blackout drunk and listened to it again and loved it.

>he thinks a "good" degree is all it takes to get a good job ngmi
Matthew Morgan
Prospects ain't reality, senpai
Jordan Williams
>thought that I was trying to get in to grad school I did but it's not important to the essence of what i was saying lel. good luck. if you're in STEM maybe you can look into doing internships in the summer. ive heard some people in PhD programs do that.
Jonathan Price
Never said that. Just said that my degree will help me get a good job.
I could have went to a trade school and made a comfortable living without the difficulty of grad school. I was well aware of that when I started. It's not what I wanted though.
Levi Cook
You listened to more music and your taste matured.
Ethan Lee
ITT: OP talking about going to grad school rather than actual music
Alls I'm saying is better start networking if you haven't already cause your degree will be worth shit
Colton Martin
exmilitary is unparraleled
Luis Bailey
Those are some digits
Grayson Butler
It's pretty much the heart and soul of DG as a band, and everything after that has just been watered down versions of it.
Christopher Reyes
I like their other shit too, but exmilitary stands in a league of it's own.
John Phillips
>DG causes him discomfort The most mild of noise rock bands make more discomforting music than DG
Austin Gonzalez
Its not NO LOVE DEEP WEB.
Hudson Wilson
retard blog post, no one cares
Parker Williams
I can't think of anything that I hated that I now love, but I've gone from considering something "meh" to thinking it's among my favorites. Slowdive and The Beach Boys would examples of that.
Nathan Davis
The Seer was my first venture into really long music. I absolutely hated it and thought it was masturbatory. Now it's one of my favorites. I just had to ease into music that was only slightly longer than what I listened to, since I was only used to songs that were 3-5 minutes long at that time.
Luke Hughes
Yes, the same thing happened to me both with Death Grips and 100 gecs. Some avant-garde (yes they're both avant-garde, I don't care what anyone says, avant-garde means "forward guard" / forward-thinking) stuff just takes repeated exposures to understand and appreciate.
It's because your brain isn't used to processing that style of music and so is mostly just perceiving unintelligible noise instead of the actual music-ness.
Charles Ward
exmilitary used to be among my least favorite of their albums but honestly it has aged the best out of any album of their discography; it is their “classic,” if they have one.
Camden Clark
>someone actually talking about their experiences with music >shut up blogger! forgot we were on Zig Forums for a second
