Best user who made their first account in 2016?

Contradiction in terms.

why can't I rate any more? I deleted all my ratings recently, and whenever I get to re-doing them, I rate maybe 4 or 5 releases before removing them through dissatisfaction and mild frustration

I need a solid system but this is an ongoing problem

...

Honestly no good or even interesting users have signed up since probably 2012-13

this is legitimately good

I signed up in late 2015 and already have users not just in these threads but across RYM talking about me.

theyre probably talking about how much of a lil embryo you are

rateyourmusic.com/~HUnewm

Share me your favorite gothic or industrial music, and I'll share something back

Doesn't mean you're a good user tho, plenty of autists and morons generated discussion on here and the RYM forums

t. montie

Do you want to have good taste in classical music, but are discouraged by the avant-teens who ruin the charts for everyone? Do not worry: I'm here with 16 easy starter albums featuring the most important musical minds of the past century. No need to thank me!

(will expand on request)

Does anyone have the original "rational ecstasy" quote saved?

you're making it too obvious now boldy, calm it down a bit

rateyourmusic.com/~randomforest

rec me 'good' music

those are some interesting choices

I'm not exactly trying to hide.
I mean it's just the closest teleological vision of the past century. Can't encompass everything though; particularly missing New Complexity and Futurism.

>visits exitsense's profile once

rateyourmusic.com/~portraits

including riley, reich, and glass is excessive. the last three entries make no sense. futurism carries even less historical weight than new complexity, which is already suspect. i don't understand why you would approach it from a teleological perspective...

...

>including riley, reich, and glass is excessive
Except for the fact each had very different approaches to minimalism the same way with Webern, Boulez, and Stockhausen with serialism.
>the last three entries make no sense.

I won't respond to b8 anymore

Is Pavement avant-certified?

Fucking kek. Is this real?

Do you know what the prefix "avant" means, or do you just enjoy sounding relatively informed?

>is this a sign that I've gone full retard RYM user
yes
time to reevaluate your life

>what is context

Yes, I do.

sure, but it's yet to be seen that minimalism will have a lasting impact comparable to serialism. it's plain and simple recency bias that you'd include so much minimalism.

don't think so

>but it's yet to be seen that minimalism will have a lasting impact comparable to serialism.
you know aside from literally the past 50 years
you don't know shit kid

rateyourmusic.com/~ElectricLizard
who /jadedandtired/ here?

minimalism that has begot more conceptually indistinguishable minimalism. the chart is just an extension of your taste - don't mistake it for an objective account of the development of 20th century classical music

Minimalism is fully accountable for the rise of atmosphere/drone based compositions over the past 50 years, undeniably.

even if that were true, it would just mean that they are a subset of the potentialities expressed by minimalism, not the advancement of a teleological vision, if that's indeed the criteria you considered.

HOW

why did boldfaure delete his account

...

i feel like this was sent to HipNorwegian

that's all reasonable actually

what a fucking faggot lmao

>you're

Hence why I said "closest" and not THE teleological timeline, which doesn't exist and cannot exist
because RYM is a shit site

i remember seeing this when it was posted. it was on melez102's shoutbox

your argument that minimalism -> drone contradicts the strive toward a teleological explanation though. you are ignoring a lot of composers and styles in favor of more minimalism. if that's your taste then fine, but you often post here as though your taste in classical is somehow definitive.

rateyourmusic.com/collection/melez102/stag/silence is (not) sexy/

what did he mean by this?

Do you listen to classical music at all? Because your denial of minimalism leading to drone seems to make me think that you certainly don't listen to a lot of classical music.

this guy also made op's pic
is he the avant-teen killer?

please tell me the "you're" was ironic

is the pro-ana stuff on daisiesfree's tumblr ironic?

rateyourmusic.com/collection/randomforest/strm_h/classical music/1

I don't deny that minimalism is a large influence on drone, no.

Ratings are fucking meaningless, don't show me your fucking ratings kid.

what's the context behind this?

link?

>Do you listen to classical music at all?
would you rather me list every composer I've ever listened to?

judging by the uninformed bullshit you post here frequently, I've heard a much broader selection of 20th century classical music. Hence why I don't champion one style (minimalism) over other contemporary movements simply because I'm more familiar with it.

>judging by the uninformed bullshit you post here frequently, I've heard a much broader selection of 20th century classical music.
Oh for fuck's sake don't tell me you're the faggot claiming Hecker is a valuable artist

There's a big difference between a person who listens to Radeluscu and Eastman and the person who studies classical music and knows what's important music

radulescu and eastman aren't comparable

you must look at music in terms of internet fanbases which is really sad

I think the opposite, actually.

I'm not the former and you aren't the latter, what's your point?

I wasn't saying they are comparable, but neither of them are significant composers.
Eastman was outshone by Reich/Glass and Radulescu by Murail/Grisey
I'm certainly the latter compared to everyone else on RYM.
Except I'm sure for the two other educated people on the website who I have yet to meet.

>I'm certainly the latter compared to everyone else on RYM.
>Except I'm sure for the two other educated people on the website who I have yet to meet.

this is priceless

It's not wrong, that's the beautiful thing.

boldfaure more like boldfailure

grisey is better than radulescu, but murail is not.

eastman is pretty irrelevant, yes

Close enough, we can agree to disagree.
Not this again

I just find it poetic and beautiful that someone, in an effort to prove they know something about music, posted their ratings.
Goes right to the core about what a shit website RYM is, exactly why I deleted my profile.

boldfaure why do you still post in these threads? i thought you had moved on. shouldn't you be posting in /classical/ or something?

rateyourmusic.com/~hittinbills

recs n friends welcome

/classical/ is fucking awful and really just as bad as RYM

RYM is obsessed with people who listen to tons of obscure stuff that isn't very good in order to look authoritative to losers

/classical/ is obsessed with people who listen to tons of obscure recordings of 200 year old compositions while knowing nothing about modern music.

all you asked him was a factual question, whether or not he listens to classical music. how is linking you to a list of classical music he has listened to not the proper answer? granted he should've filtered it to "western classical music" to get rid of the BS

atleast you still have reddit, bud

When I ask "Do you listen to classical music" I don't want a rating list of music they heard in the background while posting about redpilling on shitty fucking users

I want them to demonstrate a knowledge of the music

>animals as leaders 5/5
listen to chimp spanner nigga

reddit's shit because they don't allow discussion, it's just downvote and then run away

i think you mean Sup Forums rym does.

a ton of rym is just old people who couldnt give less of a shit about what people think of their taste

>i think you mean Sup Forums rym does.
Yeah I do
but that's because I don't use RYM proper, because it's a bad website for that

>chimp spanner
thanks, will check out.

antigona, zizekian, etc are scholars who have better knowledge of classical music than you
you can listen to classical music and still not know anything about it

your question was poor

>scholars
Defend this claim.
And again, I didn't deny people know more than me. I haven't visited their profiles though.

honestly discogs is way better to catalog and find obscure releases than rym but rym has a more streamlined rating and discussion platform, also its easier to show off ie. what mu rym does

>RYM is obsessed with people who listen to tons of obscure stuff that isn't very good in order to look authoritative to losers

no, people like you project that attitude onto random strangers who never try to act superior, thus breeding dozens of new accounts that try to emulate that pseudo-superiority for attention. RYM is only bad for those who can't control their impulses and develop an obsession.

I doubt any answer I gave would have been sufficient anyways.

I'll ignore the strawman but more importantly your arguments always boil down to "I study music". I've never seen a post by you that demonstrates knowledge, just egotistical ramblings fed by delusion.

>no
Well clearly you don't go to these threads often.
>but more importantly your arguments always boil down to "I study music". I've never seen a post by you that demonstrates knowledge, just egotistical ramblings fed by delusion.
Yeah I can understand how an ignorant would think that.

best post itt

I don't understand how this works, I must have heard one or two "Lo-fi Indie" albums

see, you have no substance to offer in return. this is the equivalent of a child saying "nuh-uh!!" when they don't have the mental capacity to formulate a response.

I suppose it is easier to construct a facade of knowledge and superiority around the idea of studying music ( where do you study? is it reputable? is it even a university?) instead of actually engaging others that have non-overlapping experiences with your own. if you actually care about classical music why are you so beligerent about establishing your superior knowledge and understanding of it instead of discussing it? it all starts to sound a lot like what you criticize rym users for doing, no?

Yeah, kids like you would think that way.

To be fair me trying to talk to RYM users is like a reasonable person talking to /r/s4p or /r/the_donald. People are too delusional to listen to reason.

1. I don't provide any personal information, as it's been extremely easy to find any person's information on Sup Forums.
2. What do you want me to say? You don't think my reviews demonstrate an understanding of music theory/history. I think they do. The difference between us is I have that education and can recognize how it applies in my approach to music and writing about it (CASUALLY). While you don't.
