What's the Infinite Jest of music?

What's the Infinite Jest of music?

nobody fucking say father john misty I swear to god

probably tylo be chillin

Van Der Graaf Generator

GY!BE

Too long and pretentious

Autechre elseq

FJM is antithetical to DFW's whole shtick, so yeah, that'd be a poor comparison

>plebs still talk about IJ in /lit/ like the Pale King wasn't a thousand times better
I think Sup Forums is frozen in some kind of time bubble

An album that is actually pretty good but is ruined by edgy hipsters who over-inflate its worth due to the death of the creator?

Pic unrelated

pic very related

>a half finished collection of half-baked ideas conjured up before the author offed himself is better than his masterpiece
Pseud

In the Aeroplane Over the Sea

Obviously

if ITAOTS was a double LP this'd be a pretty decent comparison

Both went on far too long

>"his masterpiece"
>edited down at least 30% from original material
>arch-plot entirely fucking gutted

>the pale king neatly prepared and left on his desk
>literally BASED around being half-scattered, swirling notes
>beautiful tornado motifs
>book about coming to terms with being an adult

seems to me like you want to sit in your teens forever

Fuck yeah, mah bro/sis
Alanis Morisette

...

>people arguing about DFW in Sup Forums
I was like 99% that people stuck mostly to one board
what the fuck

You should see when we start arguing about the Sopranos.

Sup Forums seems to have the most people who crossover to other boards. It's pretty slow and repetitive here lately.

Pseuds don't know how fucking retarded they sound: Case #5673491

trout mask

your slow and repetitive.

Probably OK Computer

No it's that good regardless.

you are mom

either/or

...

Probably Elliott Smith

>sincerity in lyrics
>drug addiction themes
>collection of storytelling that was and wasn't autobiographical

Elliott Smith and David Foster Wallace even articulated themselves in very similar ways. Watch some interviews of both of them and you'll see what I mean.

not really, theyre more alike than different tbqh

nah, SFTB is dark and brooding and spooky. IJ is funny and sad

Honestly I believe this

>I Love You, Honeybear
Cant see why not

>ostentatiously long
>post-post-modernly mocking genre conventions not in in service of irony but in service of genuinely trying to understand people

i second this

Fuck off, Tillman was not nearly as educated or intelligent

that's actually pretty correct

I could see this.. but we're asking for the infinite jest of music not he DFW of music

what about this
