Why are right-wingers incapable of making good music? Is it a manifestation of their anti-intellectualism and lack of creativity?

uuuummmmmmm...

Can't you make an original bait thread?
She isn't a Tory per se, at least not openly. She just said likes Theresa May, and from the way she worded it it sounds like she likes her mostly because she's a woman. Kate seems relatively apolitical desu.
so would you if you had her property and saw labour's proposed inheritance tax
You might be interested in personality psychology, specifically the big five inventory which is used due to how practical it is at predicting and correlating things.
Definitions of left wing and right wing vary of course. By the typical definition of right wing, I wouldn't say that right wingers are bad at making music as neofolk is great and tends to be strongly "right wing". However I don't consider folkists, fascists, and national socialists to be right wing, so I wouldn't consider neofolk to be a right wing genre, and thus I would agree that there is limited good music made by conservatives.
The lack of high quality right wing music is not because they are right wing, it's just that conservative politics (I'm including democrats and SJWs as conservative as they are not open to experience) are linked to a lower score in openness to experience, which is also a determinant of intellectualism and creativity. Creative and open people are less bound to social dogma and established convention so they are not likely to attach themselves to conservative politics.
the dementia tax thing? that was the tories not labour

Jesus Christ, how wrong can one post be?
Genesis is most certainly left-wing.
His runescape music is the only good music he has made.
fuck outta here with your bullshit definitions
replying to myself, I need to clarify things since I'm phoneposting and can't get an overview of my post.
I'm defining left wing and right wing as your beliefs for the size and role of government in society. A right winger is more likely to view government as a necessary evil needed to protect a society which functions largely without one. A leftist may still see the government as being a necessary evil, but they don't want it to be as limited and may want it to take a strong role in regulating the economy, morality, and culture of a society. So fascists etc would be excluded from the "right wing" group as they have more in common with what we consider leftist. This makes much more sense to me than making left/right an economic definition (which leaves out those who oppose capitalism, socialism, AND communism such as fascists) and the hierarchical definition, and especially more sense than the "everything in one" definition of left/right that is brimming with contradiction.
My definition of liberal and conservative is based on an individual's willingness to change social norms and defy the paradigm or system that society runs on. Both republicans and democrats are conservative because they play left vs right and do not seek to change the way society works. Ideologies, groups, and individuals which hope to change how we view or run things would be liberal - progressives, fascists, anti-ideologues, civil rights leaders, and so on.
Give me a coherent definition of left/right and liberal/conservative then.
She's not a Tory, she's a vapid sheltered apolitical whose political opinions are "A woman in charge sounds nice." That's it.
too lazy but
>I'm including democrats and SJWs as conservative
come on
t. respectable contrarian
>American political """""philosophy"""""
Top fucking kek
Lol do you even know what the left and right are? Goddamn
They are conservatives with a paintjob. They don't want to change social norms, uproot hierarchy, or create new systems and they play party/identity politics. One might also find that they are easily offended and unwilling to engage in discourse with extremists, instead sticking to hugboxes and confirmation bias. In no way are they psychologically liberal or craving challenge/change.
David Bowie was only right wing during the time when he was extremely coked up and out of his mind.
this is true
>psychologically liberal
that's not a thing, stop it
>Iggy Pop
I'm pretty sure "I'm a Conservative" was tongue-in-cheek, unless you can show me otherwise
>Republicans are centre right
>Democrats are also centre right
MUH FREEDUMS OF CHOICE
>Psychological liberalism refers to a readiness to challenge authority, convention, and traditional values. In its most extreme form, psychological liberalism can even represent outright hostility toward rules, sympathy for law-breakers, and love of ambiguity, chaos, and disorder. Psychological conservatives prefer the security and stability brought by conformity to tradition. Psychological liberalism and conservatism are not identical to political affiliation, but certainly incline individuals toward certain political parties.
Right-wingers are never good at art or philosophy in that matter. However in practicality and being useful in society in general...
>Psychological liberalism refers to a readiness to challenge authority, convention,
looks exactly like something you read on a bullshit personality testing website
source?
>Iggy Pop
Yeah, about that, no

Before you say, "HES TALKING ABOUT HOW BAD COMMUNISM IS," it's tongue in cheek about how shit capitalism is
>like 90% of black metal
this part is true
It's from the big five personality inventory which is frequently used by psychologists over the near-useless MBTI and is legitimately a contender to replace the personality disorder due to its reliability in predicting crime, addiction, financial security, intelligence, creativity, and more.
You can find big five tests online which can give you a vague indication of traits but it doesn't work as a special snowflake horoscope like MBTI does because big five acknowledges that there are objectively superior and inferior personalities.
HA I FUCKING KNEW IT
OH YES
I'm a session drummer and would be considered "right" these days.
You guys (kids?) should meet more musicians.
You were off though, it's not a testing website, it's a model used by psychologists in studying mental illness and well-being (because it works).
yeah but it's got nothing to do with political definitions (particularly definitions which already fucking exist)
Left/right do not have definitions that don't lead to unintended consequences such as legitimate marxists being "right wing" because they support a stateless society. Left, right, leftist, conservative, and liberal are all useless buzzwords that need to be redefined. Saying "I'm liberal" no longer means anything, it could be a democratic socialist or a minarchist. Liberal and conservative should be terms of context that aren't tied to policy, left/right should measure actual policy.
just because a definition isn't exact. you don't have to throw an autistic fit and reject it outright
