Do you prefer songs you can relate to or just fun to listen to?

Like the title says, do you prefer listening to songs that you can relate to or ones that are just fun to listen to?

I like a bit of both, but I tend to listen to songs I can relate to more often.

I like to listen to songs I relate to aswell as songs I don’t relate to, there are alot of songs I love that are about situations I haven’t been in but if I feel a connection towards the person singing it then it’s like a friend telling you about stuff which is rad then if the situation does occur I’ll be like “oh yeah this stuff happens”.

I once saw a critic say a song I like wasn’t relatable and I was like it was relatable you just probably don’t relate to it.

Both. I do like songs I can relate to.

More fun to listen to but both!

Both. Songs I can relate to make me shiver for some reason, while those that are fun to listen make me crazy, dance and sing! So I can’t really choose!

[liyahsdiamond]

Both. I just love music

Both! There are some songs I don’t really relate to but I like they way they sound.

I listen to songs for fun mainly… I don’t relate to any of them.

[Littlefeets]

Stuff that’s fun to listen to. For me it doesn’t really matter if I relate to it or not.
Though, I do tend to be interested in how a song relates to characters, even if it just relates in a way as simple as a single lyric.

Anybody else also prefer to listen to songs for their relation to a character over relating to yourself?

I mainly listen to songs because I like the way they sound. It’s nice when they relate to my situation, but it’s not usually what makes me listen to a song.
