RAMROD 77,878 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 (edited) Sometimes people do it by instinct, without knowing they are only listen to music by white artists, in any genres and countries. And only realizing it when they take a closer look. But sometimes, people deliberately choose to only listen to music by white artists, and actively posted negative comments about non white artists threads on online forums or on their social media pages. Either way, what do you think of this subject? Is it a red flag to you when you find your friend or date are like that?

TheDemonIClingTo 1,018 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Why would it be? Unless they only like Lynyrd Skynyrd or something like that, then it may very well be so 5 Link to post Share on other sites

PlastiscGuy 18,492 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I'm a Lali fan. She's latina, but "white-passing" as some would say... Does that make me a racist? PG. Link to post Share on other sites
BlueRose 397 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 my fav artists atm are Gaga, Lorde,Grimes and some Greek artists ( I also like FKA twigs but I need to see more to consider her one of my favs). One of them has an Arabic background which I recently found out. Am I problematic? Link to post Share on other sites
weed 53,562 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 hmm I see levels to it. If someone actively chooses not to listen to POC/dislikes virtually only POC artists then yes red flag. people frequently flock to those who represent them. 11 Link to post Share on other sites
Fish 6,052 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 i dont like rap and rnb... so maybe its because of how i was raised, but already you take out 3/4 of black popular artists. I likle beyoncé. it is an interesting topic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

NFRatwell 23,259 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 “I only listen to ______ artists” is always a red flag. I don’t think people should limit their music tastes to certain types of artists (race, sexuality, gender) or genres either 17 2 Link to post Share on other sites
littlepotter 63,346 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Yeah I saw that thread on ATRL, it was a mess. I don't have a "stan list," I only properly stan Gaga. Out of my top 50 listened to, most are white, but also most are pop/synthpop/art pop artists. If there were more popular POC in those genres they would probably be on my list. There are a few that I know of, and they're there: janelle monae, bey, rih, rina sawayama, and at #14 rupaul mercurial era 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Chic 20,353 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 My “On Repeat” list on Spotify is half POC artists! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Ronk 12,524 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I like a lot of artists, so "more than 5". I live outside the space time continuum. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
flyaway 15,344 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 When it comes to music, there are no frontiers for my taste. There are many cultural backgrounds, different sounds, genres, identities, etc... 5 Link to post Share on other sites
Plastic Flower 619 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I listen to all kind of artists. Only listening to white artists would be a little boring for me since I find most of them uninteresting. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
