Re: Songs you listened to before they became mainstream.But it does matter...(Original post by Liyah)
It's annoying when people think this actually matters

Re: Songs you listened to before they became mainstream.This, stopped caring about it years ago. All it proves is that you were right, it's a great song, so feel good that you probably have good taste in music and move on.(Original post by Liyah)

Re: Songs you listened to before they became mainstream.The melodies are strong (they were made by her multiple and talented producers) and her voice is interesting and wonderful but the album is a mantra to money, success and all things shallow. The lyrics reflect that. It's like listening to The Only Way Is Essex. It sounds great at times but is essentially shallow and meaningless, filled with the normal pop clichés that you get all the time: "I will love you to the end of time", "Money is the reason we exist" etc. All of the scenarios (with the possible exception of video games) are so cliché and generic that it makes the album impersonal so she never build up any kind of personality, other than a shallow, guy obsessed, money obsessed rich girl.(Original post by Supermassive_muse_fan)
Lana del rey 'blue jeans', started listening to that back in Nov 2011 and now it's everywhere but it's good
she's incredibly talented! (And finally some real music rather than all the pop rubbish recycled by the likes of Rihanna and Nicki Minaj).
It's fine that people like it, it's just that people are heralding her as something 'real' and completely 'new' when in fact she's just got an interesting voice and some producers paid for by her super rich daddy that saved the day. -

Re: Songs you listened to before they became mainstream.I can't really lay claim to anything, there are few people that share interest in a fair few of the bands I listen to (on the metal side of things, anyway).
That being said, I did get both my dad and my best mate into Social D a while back... -

Re: Songs you listened to before they became mainstream.I agree, don't understand why people do this...surely you'd like to share the love for a song with another person?(Original post by truthandtragedy)
Somebody That I Used To Know was included in a mixtape I downloaded in early 2011, but I'm glad that more people have heard it now! I hate people who "claim" songs and go mad if someone likes it after they did, popularity and exposure is a good thing!

Re: Songs you listened to before they became mainstream.I think what people get annoyed about is when they show their friends a song and their like "what the hell, turn this off, I don't like it" and then a few months later radio 1 plugs it and it gets into the charts and they say "hey listen to this new song I found"(Original post by senator88)

Re: Songs you listened to before they became mainstream.Ed Sheeran - I listened to that No 5 Collaborations Project with loads of Grime MC's on it about a year before he became famous because I liked that I also heard The A Team, You Need Me I Don't Need You , The City and a few more about a year before aswell on YouTube.
Labrinth - He's friends/was friends with my cousin a few years before he got famous with Pass Out by Tinie Tempah I met him when I visited my cousin and he told me he was a music producer so I check him out online and started listening to stuff he had produced.
Drake - I heard his mix tape long before he became famous
Nicki Minaj - I heard her music long before she became famous
Emeli Sande - I looked her up when I heard her on that Chipmunk song 2 or 3 years agi
Dubstep in general I have been listening to the famous artists for years before they became famous

Re: Songs you listened to before they became mainstream.Nope, never heard it. Though to be fair, if that song ever came on in the club, I'd be sure to be on the move.(Original post by zKlown)
If you've never heard this dropped in a club you've lived a sheltered life
