Literally school shooter: the album

literally school shooter: the album

why do we like it again, bros?

So is it Math rock or Post rock?

Because we're on Sup Forums you genius
As a whole ot's mostly post-rock I'd say but it has distinct math rock parts too

school shooters are cool desu

a lot cooler than just robbing the 7/11 for swisher sweets

Give it my first listen yesterday, and totally agree

>bros

DROPPED.

post-hardcore, and an influence on what would become post-rock (essentially first-wave post-rock)

do not call me a genius. i have a tested IQ of 97. i am not a genius.

i am sorry m'lady

this it's basically post-hardcore with odd time signatures

Well, it's a bit more than that, because the song structures are also more drawn out than typical post-hardcore. But they definitely have more in common with, say, Unwound than the crescendo-core, copious effects and varied instrumentation that would come to define post-rock.

yeah, every 1st wave post-rock album can be classified as something else, it's more an umbrella term than an actual sound, unlike 3rd wave post-rock.

DROPPED

Not really school shooter music, but music for the beta that fantasizes about shooting up his school because he never gets laid but doesn't do it because he's too much of a failure to even do that so he spends the rest of his life making half-hearted suicide attempts.

This is basically the definition of math rock at least the 90s with Polvo, Drive Like Jehu and Chavez
Post-Rock was kind of different in the 90s, we had jazzy instrumental ambient stuff like Tortoise, weird folky art rock like Gastr del Sol and shoegazey drone-psych pop like stereolab, it's really hard to define it as a genre

Can some one dump the school shooter core chart?
If you got a sucide chart dump that too

Basically Sup Forums.

>it's really hard to define it as a genre
Which is why I would agree with Stereolab and Tortoise have much more in common with krautrock than with GY!BE or Explosions in the Sky, and Slint is the same with post-hardcore.

First wave is better defined as a wave of artists who approached rock music differently to other artists in their time, but without having much common ground between themselves either. It didn't emerge from a specific scene, and the sound was varied, so I don't see how it could realistically be called a genre in itself. It's a bunch of artists who had nothing to do with each other but happened to be an influence to later artists who were similar.

slowcore tbqh

>literally school shooter: the album
that's not this

Well, Unwound never drop precise song structures tho, minus for some post-rock stuff on Leaves

...

Well, that was my point. They sound more like Unwound but with slightly longer/more drawn out structure than they do crescendo core (or third wave post-rock, whatever you want to call it). The structure is the only difference with Unwound, but they have similar dynamics and sonic qualities. Slint is the language of post-hardcore used to make more ambitious songs. But GY!BE and EitS, for example, have a much different sonic palette despite having a similar approach to structure.

But, for the sake of argument, Unwound did have songs like Valentine Card and the drone tracks at the end of The Future of What

>Marijuana Overdose
Fucking what.

>because he never gets laid

The first song is about a dude fucking a woman he just met.

Fuck this board and its idiocy.

Why isn't Deloused drug overdose?

underrated post

delete this

the whole albums about a dude dying of an OD.

That's why I'm asking why it's not in one of the overdose sections

oh. well, the answer is because it's shit.

>itaots
>falling from a structure

Not Math Rock except for very few moments.
Post Rock for less than half of the recording
Post Hardcore for the rest

ape of naples really ought to be falling from a tall structre, given that that's literally how john balance died

Because it's not literally school shooter: the album and it's really neato sounding.

I'm all in on wrist cut core.

But that's just wrong

I listen to this album and tweez almost every day in school throughout the day. I love walking through the hallways mid existential crisis and looking at all the people around me with Slint in the background. [spoiler] i wish i had never been born happy people aren't allowed to like slint [/spoiler]

Spoilers don't work on this board i look like a fucking fool huh.

the spoilers are the least of your worries in that regard

because we can't all be as shallow as you in regards to music appreciation

seriously. if you dismiss music for any superficial petty reason like that, you can just eat turds for breakfast in hell.

I wish this album hadn't been memed so hard last year. Every time I come to /mew/ now I see it being picked on somehow. The only people who genuinely dislike it are contrarian memebois.

>Stereolab and Tortoise have much more in common with krautrock than with GY!BE or Explosions in the Sky, and Slint is the same with post-hardcore.

this answer was brought to you by actually listening to music and not just using it as an accessory.

simply simple stuff here....

I was wondering that the other day.
In the beginning of the story of the album, Taxt thinks about jumping off a bridge over traffic or something.

This is why 1st wave will always be best wave
