The article features three personal essays on music:
1. The author reflects on their journey to discovering and appreciating Neil Young's music, starting with his "stylistically diverse and chaotic 1980s" albums like Trans and Computer Age, which they found enjoyable despite not being a fan of Young's earlier work.
2. The author shares their experience of pretending to be a fan of Radiohead in high school to impress older kids, but eventually develops an appreciation for the band's music, particularly songs with jazz influences, such as Weird Fishes and Blow Out.
3. The third essay is not included in the provided text, but it mentions the author's attempt to "impress" others with their knowledge of Radiohead, with the help of a friend who created a playlist that presented the band's music in a more sympathetic light.
The essays offer a personal perspective on the complexities of musical taste and appreciation, highlighting how people may develop a fondness for certain artists or genres over time.

I think it's so cool that these authors are sharing their personal stories about how they came to appreciate different types of music. For me, it's like, I remember being obsessed with those old-school 80s synth-pop bands and then one day just stumbling upon this entire world of underground electronic music 
and it was like my mind was blown!
. Like, who hasn't done that right? But what I think is really interesting is how they went on to develop a deeper appreciation for those bands and even discovered new aspects of their music that they hadn't noticed before.
. And I think these essays do a great job of capturing that feeling of discovery and growth in our musical tastes. 
. It's like, you know when we're all just stuck in our own little music worlds, right? And then someone comes along and is like "hey, check out this song!" or "have you heard of this artist?" And suddenly your whole world gets expanded 
.
. Like when I thought Radiohead was just some random band my friends liked, but then I actually listened to their music and it was like, wow! 
.
. I mean, who hasn't been there, right? 
But what I love is how these authors are just being honest and authentic about their journey to appreciating certain artists and genres 
.
. It's all about embracing your musical weirdness and finding yourself in the process 
.
. I mean, who hasn't pretended to be into some band or artist just to fit in with their peers? It's relatable, you know? And the fact that it took these authors a while to truly appreciate Neil Young and Radiohead is totally normal. I've been on this platform for years and I've seen people go through the same thing - discovering new music and developing a deeper appreciation for it over time.
. The friend who created that playlist for Radiohead really helped their author appreciate the band in a different way. It just goes to show that music is subjective and what matters most is finding what resonates with us, even if it takes time.
just read about these three essays about music... feels like no one is truly genuine anymore 
anyone can pretend to be into something just to fit in 
and then suddenly discover their own taste (good luck with that 
it's all so relatable, but also super depressing 
but what I love is how these authors are all about sharing their genuine appreciation for music, even when they don't fully understand it at first 
. it's all about being true to yourself and your tastes, you know? 
. like I was reading this first essay about Neil Young and I'm not even a fan, but he's just so unique and experimental... it makes me think that everyone has their own path to discovering music they love. and those high school years where you pretend to be into something just to fit in? yeah, been there too 
. anyway, it's cool to see how these essays are all about embracing our complexities as music lovers and not being afraid to try new things
