>"music is my life!"/"i couldnt live without music!"
>has never even touched an instrument

Yeah I met that person, they later had a tantrum and we're held by security so I legged it

I'm not talented enough to learn music. I had band classes for a couple years in middle school but wasn't able to find the buttons/holes on any instrument while looking at the sheet music. It's like how I have to look at the keyboard when I type.

I do enjoy singing though.

So? just play by ear. Thats what i do man

I wasn't even able to play fucking Rock Band. I have terrible hand-eye coordination and can't get my head around the theory of it all.

What if i like field recordings and vaporwave??

practice
pracitice
practice
practice
practice

I'd rather not bother my parents with the constant noise, and I would never dare play in front of other people so it seems as pointless as learning a new language for "fun".

Yeah, I said music is my life. Not musical instruments. Not playing music. Not making music. Just music in general. There are no prerequisites for saying that. I just love listening to music.

Got a problem with that, nerd?

I've always felt that unless you knew how to play an instrument you can only be so serious about music. I would hold the opinion of a top40 listener to could play the guitar higher than a Sup Forumscore listener who couldn't play anything.

>"music is my life!"/"i couldnt live without music!"
>play 4 instruments and released several EPs and an album so far

why do people feel the need to sit on such a high horse like this? how can you tell someone else how much music means to them based only on your knowledge of them not knowing how to play an instrument? I play instruments and i think others that also do will agree that the feeling of playing and listening to music are really two different things, and some appreciate one more than others. I've seen people that DO play instruments and claim that music is thier life but in reality they only play because its the only skill they have and because it boosts their ego to be better than the next guy. And its clear that these people care less about music than some of my friends who don't play instruments

Doesn't actially work in every case. Some people just don't have the capability.

Change music to movies and instrument to camera
You now realize how retarded you sound.

Everyone who cared deeply about music I've ever met was also a musician. It's like 50 out of 50. I assume most people on this board do. I just couldn't imagine being so obsessed with music like this board seems to be and not wanting to play an instrument. Playing music is a borderline spiritual experience.

I dunno it's like watching the NBA religiously but never playing basketball. Doing something is almost always better than observing it.

i play drums its not a real instrument

>tfw music is only necessary in your life because it drowns the shitty, terrible troughts on your head

Not a good comparison. Playing a song is a little simpler than filming a fucking movie.

Its funny, i always assumed that most people on here didn't play any instruments. but i see what you're saying

I play bass and guitar and suck at Rock Band. It doesn't mean anything.

It's not the difficulty involved that matters. It's just that something can be a huge part of your life even if you're just a consumer. We have enough shitty bandcamp bands already

probably this. I can beat every Guitar Hero song on expert but can't play a single chord on a real guitar

>It's not the difficulty involved that matters
How does it not matter? I mean seriously, defend this statement. I am a big fan of AAA action movies, but it's impossible to recreate at home. I cannot participate. Music, or sports, or even literature, I can EASILY participate in. All of those things I can do from my home. You naturally picked the highest budget art-form ever to illustrate your point while ignoring that most other art forms are low budget or even free.

Not an argument

I have shitty self-esteem and no confidence. No matter how much I practice at something I can only compare myself to people who are better at it than me. I need external approval in order to feel accomplished at anything, and I'm too insecure to risk embarrassing myself by showcasing whatever skills I might have.

Does this sound like a good mindset for learning an instrument?

You're dividing movies into categories while lumping all music together. Apparently you can't be a fan of symphonic prog buggery if you can't play every instrument in an orchestra.

I didn't really pick it because of the price. I did it without giving it a second thought. I'm not going to try to defend it because that is not the point of my argument. There are plenty of people that very much enjoy and consider a big part of their lives movies, music and sport without actively participating in either of them. Being a musician is not a prerequisite to make the claim in the OP.

Newflash moron, even the cheapest movies cost tens of millions of dollars to produce. And with technology and DAW's as advanced as they are, no genre of music is high budget anymore. Have you ever been on soundcloud or bandcamp? Ok now compare those productions to fucking YouTube.

There's a reason why music is usually people's favorite artform: it's the most accessible. Cheap to buy, cheap to make, easy to make, easy to understand. There is 0 reason in 2017 not to participate in music if you desire to. There are simply no barriers anymore. When people can start making even Film Festival-tier movies from their home, we'll talk.

Same, although I also pride myself in my collection. Something like 4000 CDs. Shame most of it is from the 50's and early/mid 60's so I can only talk about it with old people.

>love music
>because I love music it was a nobrainer to buy a guitar and start learning that
>can now play a bunch of songs while singing and learning new ones has become easy
>plan on buying a electric keyboard next

How does someone like me with no musical education as a kid get into music theory??
Preferably independently

You can film your dog taking a shit and it's a movie. You can get some friends together and make an amateur movie for a couple hundred bucks.

>even the cheapest movies cost tens of millions of dollars
And you have the audacity to call someone else a moron?

google it autisto

It pretty much holds your hand as if you were a babby the whole time

Sounds like you already know music theory. Music theory just quantifies things that already exist.
Fuck off. Even festival films can run a 10 million dollar budget. I'm sorry if my estimations were off and it only costs a couple million to make a movies. That should be no problem for the common man right, couple million?
Inb4 Napoleon Dynamite, literally the highest grossing movie ever percentage wise, which was still 400k, which is still no problem for the average math PhD on Sup Forums.

Really? "Hurr go make a movie it's the same as making music" I'm done with this fucking thread.

>It's not a movie if it doesn't run in theatres or get played at festivals

That's like saying it's not music if it doesn't get released on a major label.

Are you ignoring the post where I explain that my point is not about the price on purpose or are you a fucking retard?
Btw, can you post your sc so we can l laugh at your elitist ass?

If filming a movie was as easy as playing 4 retarded chords i think a lot more people would do it

What constitutes a movie? Hit albums cost millions to make just like feature movies.

Some of you are comparing Bandcamp ambient albums with fucking AAA action movies, and I can't tell whether you really think that movies that don't run in theaters don't exist.

I'm forcing myself to learn FL studio and it's not been going well

Then you're actually a huge faggot

play Rocksmith my man

t. Musiclet

Notice how most people who that are highschool female cunts? Fucking women cant get into music unless they're shilled to
