Sup Forums, give me some surefire ways to escape this hell?
William Moore
Welcome to life user - you're generally going to be surrounded by turboplebs
Easton Davis
Listen to better instrumental rock?
Brody Johnson
Godspeed! You Black Emperor is solid OP - what's your damage?
Ryan Wright
strip all articles of clothing and helicopter in place
works every time
Easton Foster
Next time, enter the classroom blasting Faust's s/t from a boombox. Carry it over your shoulder.
Justin Bailey
I don't see what's the problem
Gavin Robinson
>Godspeed! You Black Emperor is solid
jesus christ, this fucking board
Isaac Morales
lmfao i'd probably have done the same thing. i thought those bands were much more popular with normies these days
Gavin Reyes
But there's singing on that album.
Bentley Parker
Go listen to some merzbow then, nerd
Logan Wright
never underestimate that shallow knowledge of normies
Brayden Kelly
t. contrarian hipster garbage.
Cameron Powell
What are some good instrumental rock albums/artists that are around today who aren't post-rock or shred metal?
David Gomez
>take history of electronic music class >teacher plays stockhausen and some musique concrete sound collages >frat bros behind me ask "dude wtf is this this isn't even music bro" >"i took this class to learn how to make dubstep"
Lincoln Ward
I hope that isn't a real story because I can just hear their voices in my head and it really pisses me off, but at the same time I feel kind of smug about it.
Carson Flores
>teacher plays stockhausen and some musique concrete sound collages cringe
Angel Hill
You're old. People actually listened to dubstep because it was popular when you were in college. That was a thing when I was in middle school. If I took it however, most people would be like >wtf is this shit I came her to learn how to make my own samples
>>> make my own samples
Tyler Baker
Russian Circles works or is it too much of a pleb band? In a more Jazz-Fusion style there's Bozio Levin Stevens. But then again, instrumental Rock means anything
Samuel Reed
it is yeah
Levi Miller
>take history of rock and roll class which focuses on '70s and '80s rock >on krautrock >hear a healthy amount of murmuring from a small group of bros behind me bemoaning the fact that they aren't going to get an A for listening to led zeppelin like they thought
Jaxson Butler
>That was a thing when I was in middle school. Underage, banned.
Blake Jenkins
How did you get that picture of me?
Carter Hall
they'd also always talk obnoxiously on the phone and be like "ayy yo Q what's up you tryna have a few breskis after practice dog? yeah Q you the boy" in the middle of class
ok class but filled with turboplebs
Gabriel Jackson
I would have thought better of you if I had been in this class than I do now. Really pretentious faggot, you're so above GYBE because it's entry level tier and not obscure enough for your "refined" taste.
Jordan Lee
No. I am 18
Dubstep has been out of the mainstream for about 5-6 years now.
Easton Morales
People still play it in my dorm desu. Every day.
Cooper Moore
That's kind of a problem. Are they asocial weirdos like the stereotypical robot.
Reminder bangarang was released in 2011 it is 6 years old.
Evan Thomas
No they're actually the biggest "chads" in the dorm. We make fun of them for it but they still get more girls and drinks in their room than anyone else.
Ryder Thomas
Sure it's not EDM? It's hard to believe normies still listen to dubstep.
Leo Gomez
went to a "party school", chads there love dubstep
then they go shit up Lollapalooza with their demand for more dubstep
Luke Fisher
stupid
Angel Perry
>voluntarily taking music classes >not being STEM
im cringing
Blake Nelson

im cringing
Michael Lopez
Are you in high school or college still?
don't buy into the STEM meme too hard desu
Colton Gutierrez
>implying i'm not graduating w a CS degree and worked hard enough that i have lots of free time for electives in my senior year >sperging out about "muh stem" in 2017
im cringing
Joshua Jackson
>being STEM stop. switch why you can. i'm in a stem major. waste of time/money. i have a forensics concentration. should have gone for criminal justice. do business or something that's less of a meme and make money.
Brody Wood
>CS Meme degree Talk to me if you're engineering
Sebastian Murphy
Me too
Julian Long
>not realizing there are faaaaar more STEM grads than STEM jobs
Eli Perry
Reminder that STEM stands for STupid Entry-level Meme degree
Easton Ortiz
>not majoring in intergalactic transmultigender identity interpretive dance
It's like I'm NOT on tumblr, practically Sup Forums. Those alt-right nazis, I once read that they have a board dedicated to music and one of its essential listenings has a song that's insensitive to schizoid people.
Gabriel Brown
t. 2 months into CE
Cameron Collins
I'm a history major who doesn't want to teach How fucked am I? 3.5 GPA
Josiah White
Not to mention it also supports RAPE CULTURE!!!
Hudson Jenkins
Mandingo no lube
Ian Garcia
what would be better material to play? Stockhausen and musique concrete in general are very historically relevant.
William Reed
why is your GPA so low
Jose Young
like a 12 year old at an italian scientist's house
Jackson Walker
>business >not a meme haha wew
Angel Moore
You did good kid, that's probably the least autistic answer you could give. I would have said Don Caballero and Dysrythmia.
Caleb Morales
You should study what you enjoy if you can, there's no point in forcing yourself to study to make money because you probably won't be successful in that field anyways if you don't enjoy it. Passion is what brings success
Alexander Nguyen
Those who know history are condemned to teach it
Sebastian Reed
I am in stem, I'm just take electives also, are you fucking retarded?
Mason Phillips
>You should study what you enjoy *cringes* hello tumblr!
Camden Bell
My passion is to sleep all day and sit in front of the computer all night.
Ethan Nelson
>a versatile degree that leads to a well paying career >a meme sure kid
Dylan Wood
Hello dropout!
Cameron Ortiz
>not being well-versed in a variety of fields lmao the world is a lot more interdisciplinary than you think
Noah Jenkins
the only way to enjoy jazz is to run away from the jazz nerds, wtf is the point of a lesson about how to appreciate something that's fucking dumb.
Grayson Martin
He's enrolled in a liberal arts school
Jayden Barnes
what? autistic jazz nerds don't do lib arts.
Henry Bell
Yeah being well-versed is going to pay the bills. Your knowledge of 18th Century European gender politics will surely make the world better and put food on the table for your children.
Lib arts majors should just be abolished, or at the very least if you are taking out a federal loan you are not permitted to major in lib arts. Leave it to the trust fund kids or the retards who want to pay for their worthless piece of toilet paper they call a degree themselves.
Sebastian Harris
>Yeah being well-versed is going to pay the bills. t. unresourceful moron
William Howard
Sounds about right.
Reminds me of this story: >lecture from opera faculty member >talks about how classical music has completely isolated audiences from the concert hall >"I mean can any of you name 10 composers from the past century?" >only me and a Theory faculty member raise our hands
The way I understand it is the bell curve. Most people are painfully average.
Jeremiah Young
I am an engineering major. I'll be making 6 figures in 4 years. You'll be waiting tables at Denny's. But hey you can tell the customers about all the causes of the Russian Revolution good for you.
Oliver Clark
Nah, dubstep is still fratbro music
Joshua Mitchell
>muh median salary >muh starbucks barista >muh stem
lol
Kevin Sullivan
>But hey you can tell the customers about all the causes of the Russian Revolution good for you.
You'd think for an engineering major you wouldn't be so retarded.
Nathaniel Nelson
>Not taking electives Jesus Christ user
Hudson Edwards
do you think federal loans don't get paid back or something?
also nice strawman. you learn about logical fallacies in an intro philosophy course, maybe you should look into it so you don't come off as a retard
so am I, you can put your dick away
Luke Walker
Tell me what your major is bby I will tell you what practical purpose it will serve. Truth hurts don't it pussy? My Brawny toilet paper is worth more to employers than your lib arts degree.
Evan Baker
>"i took this class to learn how to make dubstep" My sides
Easton Anderson
Stem graduate in industry reporting in to say the Russian Revolution is actually pretty interesting - reading a book on it now
Colton Ramirez
not him but him
engineering physics, concentration in computational physics, minors in bioengineering and mathematics
my biggest regret is not taking more liberal arts classes while in college
Asher Myers
It must be fun to be as stupid and delusional as you are.
Ian Cox
Cool man. You can be interested in it but making it your MAJOR is pants on head retarded. Well you have a worthwhile major.
My point is Lib arts classes can be offered for certain subjects but they should not be offered as majors especially to people taking out loans. Why? Because no one will hire you. They will use your degree to wipe their ass. You will be in debt forever and vote for communist retards like Bernie Sanders for president.
Nicholas Stewart
>I will tell you what practical purpose it will serve. The point is a degree is what you make of it, and you keep ignoring that point because apparently getting an engineering degree doesn't prevent you from being an idiot who can't read.
Daniel Stewart
fuck everyone
Levi Russell
>Ph.D. in Math >any job I want >$300k starting
Kevin Young
This guy gets it
Isaiah Richardson
t. lib arts major working at denny's minimum wage
Creative Writing? History? Sociology? African Studies? English? Journalism? Psychology (I know it's a """""science"""" but let's be real it's libarts-tier)? Which one are you?
Jeremiah Parker
The point of a degree is to get a job. You can go to college for the "experience" or "to broaden your perspectives" but nobody else gives a single fuck about that. You are wasting your money if that is what you are going to school for. That piece of paper is to tell employers you are qualified to do that job.
They see libarts, they see lazy piece of shit who spent 4 years drinking and smoking and reading the communist manifesto and thinking they're so deep and profound. But oh you're so worldly and cultured.
Owen Cox
man i feel sorry for you
you might be "smart" with numbers but you're oh so dumb and ill informed about the world
Ian Green
dude I thought the same way you did my freshman and sophomore year, trust me; I think /sci/ was my most visited board.
It is much more fruitful to try to find the value in other areas of research/study instead of just shitting all over them. Otherwise you're just going to end up hating yourself when you ultimately realize all the business school Chads who drink and fuck daily are going to have more power and money than you probably will and everyone else has a feeling of fulfillment and happiness that ego can't replace
Elijah Edwards
look im stem too but do u realize how autistic it is to brag about how much money youre going to be making in the future ur like the whitest rapper ever
Ian Jenkins
being able to read and write well has more value than you think
I can't tell you the number of stem retards I've seen not be able to communicate
Jackson Flores
stupid Sup Forumsacks
Carson Moore
WCC with Carlos Delgado?
Nathan Hughes
post your top 10 albums kid or you are a pussy contrarian
Isaac Scott
What the fuck is this thread
Ian Green
>University >college O i am laffin' I love millennials.
Isaac Kelly
insecure STEM queer is mad people are interested in different things and aren't obsessed solely with profit
Julian Fisher
Sup Forums and /sci/ have a decent amount of overlap
Adam Green
underrated post
Nicholas Ramirez
You've never actually gone to university, have you? You're required to take surface-level electives from pretty much every field regardless of your major.
Cooper Mitchell
ill take a medium latte with a small side of fries
Hunter Reed
>american universities force you to take retarded classes
fixed that for you
Jacob Taylor
True Haha epic meme
Michael Richardson
Uh, I majored in math. Then I proceeded to not use the degree at any point because nobody gives a fuck what you major in for 90% of the population and now I make over $250K making sure people like you get their paperwork done on schedule. Good luck with your first year of college though, remember to set your alarm every day so you don't flunk out since mom isn't around to wake you up.
