Music that gets you

[Daemon]

You're not crazy. 

Fheww....

Some symptoms of this are that you apparently liked ska until other people started liking it

I didnt stop liking it when it became more popular, I still listened to my favorites, but didnt catch on to the less original commercial wave.

like Alice in Chains but don't like nu-metal

I like some of it, early Korn and few others... But Seattle grunge-era music is far superior to it imho.

Unless you were ever big into the underground rap scene

I never really was, I just liked the social and political messages from the 80's rap.

I'd seriously consider giving Eminem a listen. 

I don't like his music, yet I can see why he stands out from others.

Alternatively, skip straight to the geezer stage and start listening to Pink Floyd, Led Zep, and Clapton.

Whish my father had kept them old Vinyls... :)

Or just keep on enjoying that black metal and risk turning into the hipster with the music collection everyone hates. 

I will, and a lot of people, my girlfriend first, already hate my music, but I don't care! :D

What I meant to say is that if feels like we could take 'time', input it into a diminishing return formula, the output of which being the general originality of the 'commercial' musical scene. Commercially-viable music is rapidly growing less creative, just seems like a repetition of what's been done, a 'winning formula' that will ensure it's producer success.

Ok, so my 15 minutes break just turned into a 25 one, so back to work for me! :D

Cheers!
