You won't hear the best music of 2018 by listening to JJJ. People know that though. Don't they?
Unfortunately, people will judge modern music by it even though very few of the best releases make the countdown. People need to actually explore now (which isn't that hard with Spotify and all) unlike the 90s where Triple J was basically all there was to find quality alternative stuff which is why 90s-early 00s countdowns were far superior.

Nah, JJJ listeners will make that judgement. Music lovers won't. Still amazes me that radio even exists with so many ways to both discover and listen to music these days. Humans are just lazy ass campaigners.

I'm happy with who won though. Ocean Alley - "Confidence", which I voted for. Can't remember who nommed that here but I gave it 5. Honestly don't care as much about the countdown these days though.

Not really, most people just aren't "That" interested in music, they just see music as background sound to or something to dance or sing to. They prefer to invest their time in other things.

Television and porn? What a species.
Yeah, there's more to life than TV and porn...

If someone describes themselves as a music lover but refuses to open their mind beyond the top 100, then I totally get where you are coming from.

But why would you look down on someone just because they don't like something as much as you do?
