>new to Sup Forums >already knew about MPP from a friend, dug more AnCo by myself and liked their artsy/noisy stuff unironically >friend tells me about Sufjan, dig him and like his work, especially The Age of Adz >come to Sup Forums to see how's it like >get called a faggot who only listens to Sup Forumscore because that's what others listen to >mfw I barely know what Sup Forumscore is
you fell for the meme of listening to Sup Forums go out and enjoy music for yourself, you don't have to justify your taste to a bunch of anons leave while you still can
ironically this is when you should listen to Sup Forums
William Wilson
Already doing that. I'm using Sup Forums to discover new things. Found 'Sleep' and I'm digging their work now, thanks to Sup Forums.
It's just sad to be called a Sup Forumscore faggot when you listen to bands you used to listen even before coming to Sup Forums.
Landon Gomez
Mu core is mu core for a reason. It's popular and usually very good. There are of course arseholes who will have a go at you for 'not developing your own taste' and 'following the crowd' but fuck them, listen to what you like and expand from there
Asher Evans
>sad
How old are you
Jonathan White
I'm not actually weeping over this, you know.
Benjamin Wright
AnCo and Sufjan are trash
Elijah Wilson
Why?
Eli Lewis
They say music is subjective.
Michael Hall
>AnCo tryhard and unoriginal if you know the context of their music and the fact that they just mash together every shitty indie trend into a steaming pile of shitty half-finished ideas >Sufjan muh whiny sad indie man :((( pretentious and bland Yeah that means that I can have an opinion too
Kevin Young
lol this fucking tryhard
Noah Brown
>tryhard not a criticism >unoriginal their originality is overstated and their early sound is definitely tied to their early scene (black dice especially) but they use all their influences very cleverly and do end up with something unique >they just mash together every shitty indie trend what? >half finished ideas you're going to need to elaborate
>muh whiny sad indie man :((( not a criticism >pretentious not a criticism >bland not really

Ayden Powell

Dominic Lee
I don't hate all music, just bad music
Logan Morris
why do you think your preference is fact?
Owen Hernandez
why are you so triggered by my opinion?
Samuel Scott
i'm triggered? no one told me why are you coming in to threads just to say bands that people like are trash and then backing that up with arguments that basically consist of insults?
Matthew Green
the whole uneccessarily hating on Sup Forumscore thing is mostly a meme. If it's done sincerely then it's probably some obnoxious avant teens who'll eventually grow out of it.
There are plenty of people on here who like those artists and are willing to discuss them, you just gotta learn how to navigate the board and what kind of things to ignore. Don't take anything on here too seriously.
Sebastian Sanders
lel how do I "argue" that a band is bad?
I'm just shitposting retard, if you weren't such a loser and a newfag you'd just call me a pleb and leave it at that because you seem to have no arguments >hurr I love all music!!!! hating an album is bad!!! open mindedness!!
Hudson Gomez
Sup Forumscore is a meme
It's mostly shit albums voted in ironically
Noah Watson
mu is a really cool place. just ignore the negative people and im sure you'll have a good time. if you stay on here all day it'll get to ya, though. do you have a last.fm, op?

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.
In a sense, the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to commercial phenomena (be it grunge or U2) and too little to the merits of real musicians. Hopefully, one not-too-distant day, there will be a clear demarcation between a great musician like Tim Buckley, who never sold much, and commercial products like the Beatles.
Beatles' "Aryan" music removed any trace of black music from rock and roll. It replaced syncopated African rhythm with linear Western melody, and lusty negro attitudes with cute white-kid smiles.
Brayden Hall
Nah man, what is that?
I like how this thread turned from shit into an argument, more shit
Ian Thompson
Yeah, nah.
And the fact that you think that just proves that you haven't been browsing this place for that long.
