RYM is a music cataloguing/rating website. It's content is extremely thorough, and because of easy accessibility the concept of 'obscure taste' becomes irrelevant through exposure to a vast array of genres, artists, albums, etc. sadly, the community is plagued with countless cynics, elitists, and pompous assholes who employ music as a means to groom their ego through forum circle jerks and panning albums they haven't listened to for no reason; injecting their reductionist, word excrement into every album they can muster through pathetic faux-reviews that are as self-indulgent as they are inconsequential.
otherwise, a great tool for discovering music.

"Hah! yr belief that music 'grows' on you is obviously indicative of an amateur dilettante."
"I noticed your lack of negative ratings, you should be more objective and less of an overbearing optimist."

Music in which a sad boy sings sad songs that are anticlimactic and bare but somehow the mediocre yet raw sad voice and depressing lyrics strike a chord deep within your sad self. You never listen to this music when you're happy because it appears to lack creativity when you are happy. But when you're sad, it is soulfully amazing.
Sabrina: Lily what time is it?
Lily: 3am, sad boy hours.
Sabrina: Time to go listen to sad boi music and bask in my emotions
Lily: Yeah, imma play ROLE MODEL

A catch-all term for popular music from the 1920's-early 1960's - jazz vocalists, big bands, barbershop, lounge singers, etc. So named because most of the remaining living fans of this music are quite elderly and can sometimes be seen at casino concerts with their scooters and oxygen tanks. In the radio business, the format is known as "adult standards" and is sometimes lumped into terms like "easy listening" and "beautiful music".
You went to see Bobby Vinton at the county fair?! I can't believe any of his fans are still alive; that had to be an oxygen tank music crowd. I bet you were the youngest person there.
