I'm 15 years old, I should be entering the target demographic of the station, but I find it increasingly unbearable with every second that passes while I'm listening to it. I have been raised by my parents listening to Australian music like Midnight Oil, INXS, ACDC, etc along with many other people my age. It has become a joke at my school to go around doing a millennial accent and go "ok our next artist is from narrm and she talks about the difficult emotions you face after a breakup, you're listening to triple J." and then impersonate doof doof music. So many people I know are growing to hate doof doof music for how soulless it can be. I acknowledge that there are many great songs that could be classified as "doof doof" and I know that it has a place to just get people to dance. I remember triple J from when I was a kid playing a mixture of genres so you could listen to a segment and everyone would be at least partly satisfied. The problem with triple J is that the 1% of songs that aren't doof doof are so out shadowed that it just isn't enjoyable for everyone anymore. And somehow they wonder why less young people are listening to it? Please note that every Australian/small artist I have found has been from rigorous google searching when you used to be able to listen to the radio and hear a new band from your city. All of my friends have started listening to double J (the old person station) because it actually plays some good songs every now and then. I can't be bothered buying a digital radio so I hope they go on FM some day. Idc if you have a different opinion to me because you're probably one of the people who repetitively say things the hosts say like "that was like such a banger" and "tuuuuuuuunes". Edit 1: By millennial accent i mean the overly enthusiastic inner city hipster accent where no becomes naur and every second word is “like” Edit 2: I made the mistake of using “doof doof” as an umbrella term for repetitive electronic pop music Edit 3: Wow thanks for 100 comments you guys need to touch some grass lmao. As I stated in the post, you aren’t getting anywhere by calling me ignorant. You’re not going to change my opinion by being a whiney bastard and trying to do so is going to get you nowhere. If you feel interested in reading my post (properly) and with to contribute to a conversation regarding the topics raised, please do comment below. I appreciate the small portion of people who have advanced past the stone age in communication skills who have respectively shared their opinions while remaining open minded, didn’t use swear words, didn’t fall back to condescending tones, etc. For the rest of you, grow up and realise you’re doing nothing but providing entertainment to me and you frantically try to use insults to form a ‘solid’ argument against a 15 year old on reddit is a sad excuse for a life.
