What are the worst generals on Sup Forums? And the best? My votes/reasoning:
WORST:
>/RYM/ - /soc/ shit, plain and simple. no music discussion whatsoever, only RYM melodrama. doesn't belong on the board. >/noise/ - underage overload, nothing but kids who have no idea what they're talking about and spamming awful Bandcamp and Soundcloud crap. zero education on the genre and its history, zero capability to find music on their own(the same 10-15 meme albums from Sup Forums and RYM get discussed over and over and over, and seeing people talk about big black, animal collective and lightning bolt under the impression that they are relevant to the general's purpose is not uncommon), they can't even explain what it is they like about noise and instead just get belligerent when asked. no other general on Sup Forums is as unqualified to discuss its subject. no reason to exist. >/daily/ - smug "post-ironic" tripfag circlejerk, doesn't even belong on Sup Forums due to how little time is actually spent talking about music(and even when they do it their conversations are on the level of 15-year old RYM reviewers)and how much is spent on circlejerking and memes, somehow for all the effort they put into crafting unique musical identities for themselves they all listen to the same artists and fall back entirely on spoonfeeding when it comes to hearing new music
BEST:
>/trad/ - sincere and educated people and discussion. the nature of the music and its lack of meme or "edgy" potential keeps idiots away. >/bleep/ - funny and smart crowd. quality banter. aside from /metal/, the only general which knows how to treat dilettantes and babies begging for spoonfeeding(by telling them to fuck off) >/metal/ - a wide variety of posters with a wide variety of interests makes for a varied and dynamic general. even with all the shitposting, still one of the better places on the board. >/jazz/ - same deal as /trad/. unfortunately not as regular as it once was.
kpg is way better for a kpop fan than emoe, classical, and noise are for fans of those genres
Hudson Jackson
>seeing people talk about big black, animal collective and lightning bolt under the impression that they are relevant to the general's purpose is not uncommon) Lmao gave away the shitpost, but nice try
Gabriel Brown
marcel core are the best threads
Gabriel Murphy
you´re being pretty much an asshole towards all non-commercial artists
Luke Mitchell
>even with all the shitposting, still one of the better places on the board Then you're the cancer, haha
Jeremiah Wilson

Depressingly accurate. I actually used to make /noise/ threads and contribute to them on the regular back when barely anyone else gave a shit about them(they were already quite bad at that point, but there were times when it really looked like there was potential for decency in them), in some misguided hope that they could be improved with more effort and enthusiasm put into them. Now I truly regret prolonging their lifespan instead of just letting them die, if I knew back then that they would end up being as worthless as they are I would not have made a single post in any of them.
Bentley Brooks
/bandcamp/ is a great general. /daily/ is definitely the worst
James Torres
kpop literally does not interact with the rest of the board in any way whatsoever complaining about them is pointless
Jacob Smith
/dgg/ is a fucking embarrassment to this board
Ethan Bailey
this general is the worst
Dylan Baker
delete this thread this board is about music not about how we talk about music SAGE
that's the best part about them, it works great as a containment general.
Brandon Parker
>I actually used to make /noise/ threads and contribute to them on the regular back when barely anyone else gave a shit about them Likewise but honestly there aren't any /noise/ threads anymore because any thread labeled noise immediately descends into a pathetic and neverending meta bitchfest before any noise is discussed
Parker Rodriguez
yo dude delete this thread this board is about music not for talking about tripfriends
Luke Mitchell
/funk&soul/ are ok when they take off
Nathaniel Gomez
I have never seen a /funk&soul/ thread.
Levi Butler
>worst >not kpop and /grimes/
Hudson Foster
>/grimes/
THIS
Elijah Peterson
Fuck you Rato you prick. There's a fucking rat in my home and its setting off the traps. It fucking set one trap off by pushing it against another.
And now I come onto Sup Forums and see this little cunt staring at me with those smug beady eyes.
I swear to fuck I'm going to scramble it's little brains like i did to its family.
Ryan Bell

Nathaniel Bennett
