What metal and horror movies are for me is entertainment, fun and an escape from reality. Something I enjoy and takes my mind off my everyday worries/problems. I know that may not sound like much but our tastes are a big factor in what defines a person. I have very specific tastes that are unpopular. None of my friends are into metal or horror movies. I'm also one of those people who hates almost everything new. I can't talk about entertainment with anyone I know and I'm really nerdy about it. Also I'd say that metal is masculine, not because of lyrics, or growled vocals etc but the distortion itself. Just think, something like Mariah Carey is obviously very feminine. Not that there aren't women into metal, of course there are but I've always seen it as kind of a guy thing like an 80s action movie. You know how men always have their own guy thing they are into be it sports, videogames etc Mine has always been metal. As weird as this is, I find it really hard to bond with other guys if they're not into metal or horror. Not much to talk about with them. And all of my friends are into rap which I do not like at all. Most of them I met through drinking and drugs even though I am sober now.

I used to use spotify regularly until they changed the way it operated. Now I default to YouTube if I'm on the go or my record player if I am at home. I definitely enjoy the ritual of going to the record store and to me there is no substitute for vinyl. However, to keep on topic, no I do not currently use spotify.

I don't use spotify, but I have people in my ear raving about it. One of them posts on this forum... I'm just not up to date with the latest fancy things like this. I buy CDs and consider myself a collector, although I do tend to listen to youtube if I can't be bothered going up to grab the CD out of the collection. The thought of actually having a paid thing on my phone to listen to things is anathema to me. Still, it's clearly useful, and I'm thinking about it. I'm still somewhat resentful of the concept that we can listen to nearly everything that has ever been released without actually owning it. I know this isn't just the way of the future, but the way of the present, but damn I just don't know about it.

I will either listen to songs on youtube, or simply purchase cds. I much prefer owning a physical copy to simply streaming online.

I really hate Spotify. Bandcamp and YouTube are great for checking out new music. I buy music either through Bandcamp or (for physical purchases of stuff that isn't on BC) I'll look for CDs on themetaldetektor.com. I'll put CDs on in the car, or occasionally in my studio room, but mostly I buy digital or rip the albums and listen on my phone or computer.
