90% of pop songs are about love. Polyamory has wrecked listening to music for me. Many of my favourite songs now sound childish or immature thanks to the new worldview of love that the philosophy of polyamory has instilled in me. I feel like I'm in limbo, in a monogamous relationship with both wife and I identifying as poly-minded but not wanting poly right now. Monogamy isn't us. Poly isn't us. And all these pop songs don't resonate with us.
Can't believe how much I've changed as a person in so little time.
Do pop love songs do that for all you guys? Do the majority just make you scream "co-dependency" or "unhealthy relationship model!"?
My friend Reecy is back from her trans-continental tour, she was gone a good 7 or 8 months, traveling with her dog, Esmerelda. She is one of my favorite girl-crushes, too.
Also, she is polyfolk, BIGTIME. Some of her music has poly themes. Her press is describing her lately as "southern fried vaudeville." I like that.
She's kinda folksy, and this song is easy on the ears. It has been a favorite of mine for a while now. Her mother sings backup vocals on it. For me, this one is something of an affirmation of how beautiful life and love are...

God, Hair Nation.
I hate hair metal. Really, REALLY hate it. My ex husband was into it, to the extent that it defined his teens and young adulthood, those imprint years where you establish parts of who you are for life, generally... Yeah for him, it was spandex, hairspray, and "Girls, girls, girls" which to me is...just...awful. I can't deal with it. It's everything from the look, the high voices the men sing in, just everything about it. I'd rather listen to Beck mumble incoherent gibberish, than some pretty boy all "wow girl...you got boobies...wowza...rock n roll!" Oh just shut the fuck up already with that vapid shit.
To which my ex would argue that bands like Dio's "Rainbow" or Manowar have cool lyrics. That's as may be but I still can't deal with the sound of 'em. Just can't.
I like my metal powerful, masculine, aggressive and usually dark, when I like metal at all, which isn't really that often. In the realms of older more popular metal bands, I like some Iron Maiden, but the metal I grew up with was Metallica (up to & including the black album but no further) and Sepultura...I used to like Pantera, but they bore me now, and I've heard that Phil is some sort of white supremacist and um...no thanks. GWAR of course. Devildriver is also good.
Zen likes hair metal. *ugh* *sigh* Fortunately though he likes many other kinds of music also, and I enjoy a lot of his selections. Just...maybe not John Denver so much...lol...

LOL...I used to call Hair Band music "Bubblegum Metal".
Not to jump to Phil's defense, but I think he was making fun of some white supremacists and it was taken out of context. Personally, he pissed me off when he walked out with no word.
Other than Sabbath I didn't really get into metal until bands like Pantera, Sepultura, Rollins etc came along.
I keep meaning to give GWAR another try after seeing you mentioning them so much. To be honest,straight up metal kind of bores me in general. I do enjoy some of the sub genres though.
