If this board existed in the 60s you wouldn't be talking about Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Lou Reed, The Beach Boys or Bob Dylan. You'd all be talking about big band and crooners.
Just as now, you aren't talking about the cutting edge electronic artists, the true pioneers and best artists of the 2000/10s, you are still talking about outdated rock.
just like rock killed off big band except for those who couldn't let it go and lived in the past, electronic music killed off rock except for those who still listen to it and can't let it go.
Rock fans today are the Frank Sinatra fans of the 60s who ignored and dismissed all rock as a talentless fad.
Parker Collins
"ok"
Jayden Nelson
clueless
Zachary Wright
Yeah this board really is
Eli Barnes
>electronic artists, the true pioneers and best artists of the 2000/10s So who are they then? Hmm?
Gabriel Hughes
>
Gavin Sanchez
Kanye West and Drake are the pioneers? Fuck off you silly lol
Wyatt Barnes
I'm seeing more threads about current music at the top of the catalog than non-modern.
Other than being hip, what's the benefit of listening to current music anyhow?
Elijah Diaz
Kanye > Zappa
Daniel Morales
So OP is another one of these hiphop naggers who have never even played a real instrument. Move on everyone.
Nathan Edwards
Yeah inorite, real music died in the 60s, disco was the nail in the coffin
Evan Richardson
>real instrument
Grandad, pls
Charles Nguyen
I listen to contemporary rock and metal. You think rock has died and that it's "a 60's thing" when it clearly isn't. By the way hip hop was better in the late 70's. You listen to horrible shit.
Carson Nelson
I never said anything about the quality of music and I'd be asking the same question if I was in a hippie debate in the 60s. I'd do the same in a room full of people who knew how to pull off fedoras in the 40s too.
I'll ask again, other than being hip what's the benefit of listening to modern music?
Evan Lewis
Interesting new ideas, groundbreaking technology used in contemporary styling to produce amazing new music by artists with new approaches, sounds and production.
Jeremiah Miller
And since I'm not a musician who would worry about implementing any of that into my music, that has no benefit to me whatsoever.
Logan Allen
I didn't say rock was a 60s thing, lrn2read
Cooper Johnson
>cutting edge electronic artists, the true pioneers and best artists of the 2000/10s Like who exactly?
Robert Harris
It's funny, you never see these critiques of literature fans reading Shakespeare instead of some modern playwright, of comics readers going back to Eisner instead of something by Brian K. Vaughan, of film students revering Buster Keaton, it's only music fans who care if others are listening to modern pieces from their art style.
Thomas Torres
>Interesting new ideas. These "new ideas", from what I've heard of them, aren't musically interesting in the slightest. >Groundbreaking technology Going to waste... >Amazing new music by artists with new approaches *cricket noises
Ethan Roberts
So why waste time with rock. Only classical matters.
Angel Bell
Slightly off-topic, looking at that picture I have to wonder...
Is it me or has 60s music in general (from all styles, not just rock) aged better than most other forms of media released in the same timespan?
Jonathan Sullivan
a lot of my favorite movies are from the 60's
Jack Hill
It should be pointed out that you're bound to find all of these things in older music that isn't famous if you look hard enough.
Levi King
Rock fans are the AAAHHHHHHHHHH
Caleb Bailey
>Just as now, you aren't talking about the cutting edge electronic artists So who would you say they are?
Also >Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Lou Reed, The Beach Boys or Bob Dylan >Implying they were cutting edge
Christopher Parker
In 50 years kids on Sup Forums will look back to now and talk about electronic music just like they do now with rock from 50 years ago, through approved magazine top lists.
Luke Brown
>you aren't talking about the cutting edge electronic artists >proceeds to point to a Sup Forums thread talking about said artists
s t a l e
Jaxon Martin
That what the hip kids on Sup Forums already do. Most of the modern albums talked about on here are either rym or p4k approved.
Connor Lewis
Both me btw
Parker Mitchell
Yeah that was the point. Just electronic music instead of string music.
David Rivera
Are you serious? The Beatles and The Beach Boys, in the studio, were very cutting edge.
Mason Young
You realize by definition that "obscure" means "people don't know about it", right?
Try having a conversation about an artist people on here don't know about—it won't work. Why? Because that's how social circles ARE. How would you have a conversation about a band you don't even know about? There are threads on here meant to introduce people to music they don't know, and I've found some great albums through that—but complaining about the fact that people on here talk about albums that aren't obscure enough seems a little dense.
Charles Bailey
I'm bumping this again since most of the people on Sup Forums aren't musicians either. What benefit does listening to modern music have other than giving me a better chance of getting laid with some chick at a concert or looking cool when friends are in my car listening to my music?
Liam Clark
Go home soundboy Go home to ur nana
Liam Parker
I wasn't complaining, simply bringing up a fact.
Ryan Rivera
What benefit does old music have instead?
James Nelson
It doesn't. I never argued that it did. Art as a whole doesn't have much of a benefit to people who aren't involved in it as a whole.
That's irrelevant to my point though, since I'm addressing you critiquing Sup Forumstants for not listening to music that's currently released. You're the one telling me to listen to modern music. Give me a reason that's more substantial than "it'll make me popular".
Though you could argue that for the most part the classics of older music have for the most part already been weeded out, therefore it's easier to find the good stuff than in modern music.
Isaac Miller
No one said you should, listen to whatever you like matey. You are just one person.
Doesn't change the fact that electronic today is what rock was to the 60s and rock has become what became of big band and crooners.
Dominic Brooks
are you autistic
>"hey have you heard this album" >"no I haven't" (its obscure) >listen to it >"wow that was cool, now we can discuss this album"
Caleb Jones
because someone might write a great song
Adam Roberts
And when they do write a good song I'll listen to it. No-one has done so yet though.
