i'm sorry you've never had fun once in your life user.

I'm sorry you never grew out of your "take THAT mom!!1" phase.

I wish more artists had album covers that kept the normies out

OP is annoyed that it reminds him he's a virgin

DUDE
DUDE LMAO
LMAO

t. virgin

you act as if having or enjoying sex is a mark of immaturity.
lmao, fucking virgin.

This is literally how a virgin views sex.

If you see sex as this, then you dont see sex as a part of a normal life.

Neet.

As a virgin who's also not OP, wtf are you talking about?

What in the ever loving fuck is reading comprehension?

hedonistic degenerate

Sauce for that crop.

if every single person that replied to your post got the same thing from it, the problem is with you.

if an album needs to have a gratuitous cover to draw people in, well, let's just say it makes me suspicious of the quality of it's contents

Hahaha you're just a VIRGIN LOSER haha, that's almost as serious a burn as calling someone a cuck, you're on suicide watch now kid

No it just keeps virgins like you away.

how the fuck do you figure that?
I'm not him, but I understand that some people who aren't just bitter virgins don't place much value in sex
they might be rare, especially among younger people, but they exist

Sex sells. I don't understand why people need to defend perverted ads. This is someone who has had 40+ sexual partners at the age of 21.

It's sad to think that popular music can't dream of anything bigger than fucking, intoxication, and whatever other pleasure seeking thing they want to sell you.

>posts anime
Well I can see the problem here.

quite the opposite
it's virgin bait

>literal slut thinks her opinion matters

yr on Sup Forums.
he's a virgin.

stop fishing for replies this hard

>This is someone who has had 40+ sexual partners at the age of 21.
haha nice :^)

This desu. If the fuckers could shoot heroin all day without repercussions they would. Virgins miss out on the same good on sex as hedonists tbqhwu

I'm a dude, muh dude

this
so much this
I want art, not ads
I want exploration, not exploitation

>gratuitous
you people act like you've never seen tits before.
>let's just say it makes me suspicious of the quality of it's contents
well, you're a prudish retard then.

then so is everyone else in this thread

maybe
op is certainly a virgin, i can tell you that for damn sure.

>I think people that use these tatics are bad
>WELL I THINK YOU'RE DUMB STUPID RETARD, DUDE YOU EVER SEEN BOOBS LMAO?

Not that guy, but okay.

hurr durr sex can't be defined in art
sex isnt a natural part of human existence
mommy take it away, sex makes me feel uncomfortable ;_;

>DUDE MUSIC IS ALL ABOUT SEX AND DRUGS, IT'S SO MAINSTREAM AND CONFORMIST AND SIMPLE

This thread literally wouldn't exist if OP had sex.

I'm not saying sex is bad. Learn to read, bro. I'm saying that it's bad if it seems they're just exploiting sexual imagery for half-assed marketing purposes.

you do know that sex/nudity can be used in artwork without being a marketing ploy, right?

you are aware that the female form has been a staple in art for literally millenniums

...

Sure plenty of failed artists have done this same tatic before, but it doesn't make it any less cheap.

I'm pretty sure the anons arguing this in the thread aren't talking about every instance of sex/nudity ever, but specifically the shitty ones that are obviously used as a marketing ploy. Also going the "LOL BUTTHURT VIRGINS" route as a response is really immature

fucking hedonists, get off my board! Reeee

we post sexual covers now to trigger OP

If the album isn't literally about sex putting sex on the cover art is exploitation.

Virgins were a mistake.

>I'm not saying sex is bad.
sure, you're just saying that using sexual imagery to sell an album is "gratuitous" and "exploitative." like it's a fucking snuff film or something.
>I'm saying that it's bad if it seems they're just exploiting sexual imagery for half-assed marketing purposes.
why is that bad. why is it worse to exploit sex for half-assed marketing purposes than any other random thing?

I'm the guy he was defending
I'm well aware of art history and yes of course nudity can be tastefully used in art
all I was trying to say was that I see it used in ways that just seem cheap and exploitative rather than thought-out and artistic, and such things hurt my faith in the quality of the product

yeah man only failed artists have ever used sex or nudity. manet, rubens, rembrandt, the list goes on...

it sure seems like it to me.

ill agree that stuff like pulp or rob zombie is just pornographic, i actually dont give a fuck desu

this is just stupid. there are plenty of albums that have artwork that doesn't literally depict the content of the album. if sex/nudity is used tastefully, who gives a fuck?

This. Fuck morals n shit.

this one is a back cover not the front but it's lewd anyway

>it's a some faggot on Sup Forums is literally under the age of 25 and an obnoxious self-righteous prude episode

highlight of the season

you are literally asking me why I prefer things to be thoughtfully crafted and done for artistic reasons rather than just doing it lazily for a quick buck

Baited for this exact response t b h f a m .

I could get on board if people were just arguing that sexy pornstars on covers (i.e. most hip hop) is crass and tacky. I would agree that it's usually sexist.

What I'm not on board with is the people who are arguing about how sex and drugs are some sort of terrible moral or intellectual exercise. It makes them sound like edgy 14 year old """philosophers""" or complete prudes.

still a slut

...

it's album art. what is the difference between using tits to sell the album, or using a fucking picasso painting or some faggoty bullshit.

>Arguing that abusing sex and drugs is immature and prudish

I'm the user making many of these posts and I intend to be arguing the former
but yeah, the other guy in here looks suspiciously like the latter

but, of, course many people seem to be misunderstanding me, so maybe I'm misunderstanding him

music = sex

>album art is a landscape through an instagram filter

I want something interesting, not just some porn star's tits

fair enough, m8

who said anything about abuse?

A literal dudebro.

some people here would be heartbroken to learn how much sex and drugs their favourite artist engages in

way i see it, one album cover's as good as another.
you got me. i play ultimate frisbee with the boys every friday.

Just because you don't say the word abuse doesn't mean you aren't talking about it

how is it immature to want something beyond simple desires? I could write a book about how little art there exists today because of consumerism and how it has led to higher depression. I realize this is Sup Forums and people don't want to really elaborate or argue thoroughly about their own position.

So fuck your meaningless lives

I'm pretty sure listening to music is not the same as having intercourse.

Sorry to disappoint the virgins here.

If this counts then it proves it can be done tastefully

This tee bee aych.
Music is inherently hedonistic. Which is why there is no good alt-righ music.

I see. Just because I'm not talking about something doesn't mean you can't pretend I am

even rightie musicians like zappa had a shit load of sex

he didn't drink or do drugs tho

>I could write a book about how little art there exists today because of consumerism and how it has led to higher depression.
Anyone can write a book about anything, but your book would suck because it would be based on Marxist pseudo-science. Correlation =/= causation.

Taking an American Civ class and a Multicultural Studies credit in college doesn't make you an authority on anything.

are you actually saying a shitty photo of tits is the artistic equal of a picasso

on an album cover, yes.

>if it's anti-consumerist, it must be Marxist garbage

The alt-right is motivated by failed hedonism. They don't make music because they lack ability. Fascism on the other hand is a different story.
>wah I don't like the idea the fact that I can communicate ideas without being aware of it
kys
An alcoholic could make people aware of his addiction entirely by accident by example. You're probably the only virgin itt since you don't understand how communication works on the most basic level.

how does being on an album cover change the artistic merit of the piece

he literally never even implied abuse nor did anyone else bring it up in the conversation, so what the fuck are you talking about?
Yeah pretty much.

No argument so you attack my character

Also I'm not a commie or left leaning at all.

People would be happier if they were given a purpose to pursue their own inner needs, such as family, religion, and their own personal emotional desires.

Why do you think people in 1st world countires are so unhappy and seek hedonist practices? It is because so many of them are not able to find purpose in a world that doesnt have any need for them.

You can insult him for (apparently) taking a social science course but some college education may have prevented you from vomiting that retarded word salad of a post you just made.

I hate consumerism and I think Marxism is pseudo-scientific trash

what's Sup Forums's essential cockcore?
discogs.com/lists/XXX-Dicks-Dicks--Dicks-/296681

People can drink or have sex without being addicts. Addiction is just a way to describe a behaviour that has become detrimental to someone's health or well being, like for instance when it interferes with their work or social life.

I never mentioned alcohol abuse. I really don't care if you think I've had sex before or not.

best thread on Sup Forums

What does pseudo-scientific even mean in this context? Do you know what Marxism is?

Marxism isn't meant to be a "hard" science, it's a political/economic theory.

No, there was an argument in there, namely that your connection of depression and consumerism isn't supported by anything.

The rest of your comment wasn't an argument, just a nihilistic fuck you, so I did my own fuck you back.

>People would be happier if they were given a purpose to pursue their own inner needs, such as family, religion, and their own personal emotional desires.
Who says they don't have that purpose already? Who says consumerism doesn't help fulfill that purpose?

>Why do you think people in 1st world countires are so unhappy and seek hedonist practices?
People in 1st world countries (or historical equivalent of wealthy society) are happier than they ever have been in history, and people consume more than they ever have. I know that's also just correlation, but if anything it implies the opposite effect of what you're describing.

>It is because so many of them are not able to find purpose in a world that doesnt have any need for them.
You imply that people who follow hedonistic practices (what I assume includes sex, drugs, and other sensual pleasures like food and thrill seeking) don't enjoy meaningful lives. How many people do you know that enjoy what they do for a living, or enjoy something they do for society, that also enjoy having sex? Or enjoy drinking alcohol? These liberties have nothing to do with making life meaningless- rather, they add color to life, despite some of the risks associated with them. Those risks are taken upon the consumer and are their responsibilities alone, but being pursuant of those pleasures despite the risks does not imply that those people believe their lives are meaningless.

What you're describing is the phenomena of addiction. A consumerist society allows addiction to happen, but consumerism isn't the problem. It's stupid to think that the solution to the extreme is to end the normal.

he probably means it's a garbage economic theory.

Not OP, but I'm a Catholic that is waiting until I get married to have sex but I still know it's both fun and mature

still, having tits/sex/dicks on your album cover may have been edgy in the 80s, but now it's just dude sex lmao

I doubt he knows what Marxism is, to be honest.

>sexual imagery on the cover art
>then you end up getting drawn in emotional
i know that feel bud
still my favorite album of all time

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics
>Economics is "a social science concerned chiefly with description and analysis of the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services".

>The discipline was renamed in the late 19th century primarily due to Alfred Marshall from "political economy" to "economics" as a shorter term for "economic science". At that time, it became more open to rigorous thinking and made increased use of mathematics, which helped support efforts to have it accepted as a science and as a separate discipline outside of political science and other social sciences.

Why did you quote my post m8?
Not every instance of nudity is to be edgy though. Nudity/sex is an essential part of the human experience. Deflecting absolutely any nudity as "dude sex lmao" just screams insecurity to me.

I just mean it's shitty economic/political science

I'm sorry what point are you trying to make here?

Economics is still not a "hard" science and Marx is not dense in mathematics.

How about you just define the core principles of Marxism and how it's "pseudo-scientific" and save us all the time.

I got you.

and that in my personal experience in dealing with its advocates, it's more of a cult than anything else
I've met many self-identifying Marxists who were mostly close-minded pricks who were totally unwilling to consider things from anything other than a Marxist perspective
you know, how actual thinkers and such are supposed to actually think about opposing ideas rather than being rabid dogmatists

not saying all of them are like this, but they definitely have a public image problem because of this shit

when I say 'edgy' I mean it gets your attention from shock value; sex is a universal 'lmao', so using it to get people's attention is pretty low effort, this is why I dismiss tits on the cover as 'dude sex lmao'

why would I be insecure?

>sex is a universal 'lmao'
>why would I be insecure?
i dunno man

>album cover has a single rose on it
DUDE VAGINA SYMBOLISM LMAO
