@ainmosni @alexisbushnell @autistics I too love drum and bass, but it has to be the more "soulful" kind. An example:

Trigger warning: an ugly computer graphic zombie woman is occasionally shown in that video for some distasteful reason, please ignore! It's just the music I wish to share.What sort of Drum and Bass do you like?
#Music #DrumandBass@d1 @alexisbushnell @autistics Depends on my mood but I think Neurofunk is my main subgenre. The SF samples and interesting drum patterns are my thing.
-
@d1 @autistics I'm all about cool rhythms, but my taste is usually toward music with more intricate, hard-to-predict beats (think IDM, glitch-hop, that sort of thing)
-
@d1 @autistics no. i mean, i like a good rhythm, but not exclusively. i listen to a lot of ambient…

One that drives my extrovert ex-salesman friend completely nuts is Genesis doing _The Firth Of Fifth_.
To me, the bonkers time signature swaps at the start are fascinating and make me think about what they're doing, whereas he's like "can't they just get the bloody riff down?!"
So basically, after some modest 'empirical research', I can report that not all autistic people are troubled by weird time signatures, and some of us get a tweak from them, in a good way!
I'm honestly a bit of both
But most often I just find 6/8 and 12/8 very stimmy for whatever reason... -
@d1 @autistics i get positively twitchy if i'm listening to music in which i can't pick out some kind of rhythmic aspect
-
@d1 @autistics I do like a good drum beat, but I'm not attracted to music specifically for the beats due to the logic of their rhythm. I do love polyrhythms due to their logic and feel drawn to them like riddles. But that is only one facet of the many reasons I like music and the many styles I enjoy, and in the balance, I would not name this as the primary reason or style.
-
I definitely dig a solid rhythm section, if it's funky, even better (everything from RATM to The Meters, Galactic, and Soulive, to Lettuce and Pigeons Playing Ping Pong).
But I also love the frenetic, syncopated flurry that jazz can be (or a local favorite, Critters Buggin).
But mostly, yeah, it's about the drummer for me. I'm a massive fan of Larnell Lewis, Alan Evans, and Stanton Moore especially.

@d1
> It's said that people with #Autism tend to like music for the drum beats especiallyI'm ADHD as well as autistic, so that might mean I don't have the same relationship to music as other autistic people. But what originally got me into listening to music was the words, not the beats. I pretty much ignored both beats and melody at first, and couldn't stand listening to instrumental music. I think it was when I started smoking cannabis that I learned to hear and appreciate those.
-
for me, it's more about the sound aesthetics and melodies that makes me like particular music
i also like odd rhythms or syncopathy much more than straight 4 to the floor, probably because i also have adhd
