man, I'm 130 IQ (literally top 10% IQ world population) but I can't enjoy white clasical music, is so fucking boring.
Where do classical music becomes good?
Do I need to learn music theory?
I've tried to learn about music theory, read some begginer books, but I just don't find appealing classical music.
yes, I do think is complex, but is so completelly lacking of emotion.
I just can't feel emotion over masturbating over some inverted 9th chord while passing off some key to some modal greek mode while doing counterpoint to some second or third melodic line that imitates some dead obscure baroque composer while your bass does all these cool rifts from jazz and arpeggios from folk music while you use some harmony from atonality.
sure, I guess is cool to masturbate to that, but is so sterile and lacking of emotion, compared to pop music and videogame NES and SNES soundtrack.
>man, I'm 130 IQ (literally top 10% IQ world population) Yet you started a sentence incorrectly. fuck off
Luis Jenkins
yeah, is not like english is my native language.
Oliver Cox
why do you feel like you have to be forced to like classical music? all music is just 12 fucking notes (plus/minus octaves)
youre being an autist
Hunter Smith
>muh art is only objective physical wavelengths
kys underage pseudo
Carson Scott
cuz he wants to be a crazy cool smart kid and seem cultured (even though you can do that just by listening to pop or traditional music as well)
Ryan Lopez
Excuses. just admit you're a dumbass. you've been exposed
Christopher Cook
If you haven't found classical you like already, you're seriously not as bright as you think
Lucas Nelson
my english is still good enough to trick dumb ameritards I'm a dumb kid who didn't finished school than a non native.
I have a very specific taste in music, and I don't like 99% of music I hear.
Carson Carter
>I don't like 99% of music I hear. i bet you're a fun person to be around
Connor Rogers
What kind of music do you like? in my opinion classical is some of the most emotional music ever made, even though it's largely a wankfest
Jordan Cook
I have a very specific taste.
I like melody, is the only thing I care. I don't like music that doesn't focus on having a clear, well "catchy" popular melody.
There's a reason why popular music is extremelly generic and why they always play the same popular classical pieces over and over again, versus more challenging pieces.
>my tastes are better than your tastes man, I just don't get it.
I try to listen to academical music and other types of music, but is so fucking boring, is like doing a chore.
Dylan Adams
130 IQ is 2 standard deviations above the mean and IQ is normally distributed
Sebastian Evans
>try to listen to academical music and other types of music, but is so fucking boring, if you don't like it then don't listen to it idiot. What's the point in listening to a specific genre if you can't appreciate it? the fact that you prefer vg soundtracks over classical/jazz is laughable
Luke Davis
>>my tastes are better than your tastes how did you get that from roflmao
I still listen to jazz and other types of music, not just weeb crap.
because every time I mention this to people, they keep making fun off me.
Carter Robinson
>man, I'm 130 IQ (literally top 10% IQ world population) Stop lying, I know we're on Sup Forums, but please, stop lying.
Ayden Richardson
It's the average on /sci/ the average on /lit/ is 135-140.
Cameron King
>I still listen to jazz and other types of music, not just weeb crap. >youtube.com/watch?v=mQR0bXO_yI8 I don't mean to be rude, but if Sinatra is the most far you can go with jazz, then you're not really listening to jazz, that's all I'm saying. Please explore further. >because snobs keep making fun off me Then again, who cares what snobs think, or Sup Forums for that matter, hell, even me? Listen to whatever you want user, just don't lie about your "IQ" What would the one on Sup Forums be?
Wasn't sure if that was bait or not until the last sentence.
Kayden Hall
>because snobs keep making fun of me You don't actually talk and spontaneously sperg out when taking to people? I suppose you're not talking to people in real life the way you see people talking on Sup Forums. At this point, if you're actually serious, that's looking more and more likely.
Noah Baker
pretty meh, sounds like noise with some faggot talking and some countermelody voice.
meh.
>muh tastes are superior >let me post this music that is boring as fuck. >snobs
>third world redditor belives his IQ is 130 and the he's special for that wew lad
Tyler Gonzalez
>muh tastes are superior >one of the posters you replied to didn't mention a single album he enjoys You're probably on a shitposting rampage on a Friday night while making ridiculous statements and you're wondering why people don't take you seriously. Not to mention that you started your thread with "man, I'm 130 IQ".
Oliver Wood
Classical music is brimming with emotion. It's cliched, but you should check out the Ronantic stuff first.
Modest Mussogorsky's Pictures At An Exhibition is my recommendation to you. The theme is incredible, but The Great Gate of Kiev is the most uplifting and grand music this side of Germany
Liam Smith
meh, I don't feel nothing.
pretty cool I guess? sounds like practice music for a college student.
I'm not an autist.
is the average IQ of STEM students.
It was initially for pol though.
some of bach stuff is impresive, but only at some intelectual level.
I don't listen a lot of music because most music bores me to death, at some physical level.
Chase Allen
The fact that you started off this thread by citing an IQ score and seem to believe IQ tests are good indicator of intelligence certifies you as a cunt.
John Brown
>It was initially for pol though Apparently was correct. Just leave this thread people.
Nolan Johnson
>all music is just 12 fucking notes
t. Theodor Adorno
Go away, even fucking Hobsbawn thinks you're a hack.
Aaron Clark
Alright, this is definitely bait
Ryan Hughes
>130 >Sup Forums Good try cuckadoodledoo, your average 90 if your visiting here, welcome, the exhaust pipe is not a breathing apparatus, enjoy your stay
Cameron Flores
There is your problem. you are not sitting and listening to it all the way through, you just listen to a short part of it and then move on
Hunter Gomez
>I'm 130 IQ you probably aren't actually 130 IQ. unless you got professionally tested, you're full of shit
Cameron Ramirez
IQ is a MEME.
Robert Anderson
I don't like to listen new music most of the time. I always find myself repeating the same songs I like over and over again. I can listen a song I like over and over again.
but It seems my tastes triggers Sup Forums faggots.
Benjamin Adams
>I don't like to listen new music most of the time.
Maybe you don't hear enough music How many albums did you hear fully from this decade?
Hunter Morgan
I got professionally tested and scored 145 on the WAIS-IV when I was 18, AMA
Cameron Moore
how does it feel to know that you try to justify your existence by a number someone else puts on you as opposed to things that actually matter?
Jack Long
I could say I haven't listened to maybe more than 200 songs in my entire life. maybe I could say I enjoy to listen less than 100 songs on average.
I could say I listen maybe a couple dozen songs every day.
I could name one or two songs from pretty much every genre.
Landon Young
Why are you people still replying?
Noah Wright
>man, I'm 130 IQ (literally top 10% IQ world population) Translation: I'm insecure about myself and only got an arbitrary number to base my whole identity on
Asher Fisher
I listened an entire aerosmith album once.
couldn't tell apart a song from another song, they were generic as fuck.
and today I have forgotten about that album beyond being a chore to listen generic music.
Brody Watson
>200 songs That's a really really low amount of music.
I have over 500 albums rated on my RYM account, tho in reality the number of albums i heard is in the thousands.

Gavin Sanchez
from 10 new songs I listen, 7-8 can't finish them because I don't like them.
maybe 1-2 songs I will enjoy at best.
I could even say I don't like music in general.
I'm always open minded to listen to music, but most music is a fucking chore to me.
I could post songs I like from pretty much a couple dozen genres I have listened.
John Mitchell
You lack patience user. learn to sit through albums all the way through.
Here is a very interesting and unique album. try to sit all the way through it right now and understand what it tries to achieve musically. youtube.com/watch?v=a-QfLpgntV8
Anthony Thompson
that sounds generic as fuck.
I just can't understand music.
sure, if some musician explains to me what's he's doing I will enjoy it more I guess.
I only need a few seconds to know if the music has a strong melody or it's focus is on other stuff.
>needing more than a few seconds to know if a girl is hot
Bentley Clark
>IQ 130 >only top 10% of the world
So basically there are literally hundreds of millions smarter than you, literally above average tier
Isaiah King
Because if you will never give a real, serious chance to new music, you will never expand your horizons and you will stay stuck in your little bubble forever.
Isaac Hernandez
I just can't enjoy it.
sure, is interesting from an intelectual point of view and sure if a musician explains it to me is pretty meh.
but is like if the music lacks a soul, or lacks a hearth to me.
listening to a song that has not a focus on melody is like I can't understand it, and most of the time sounds generic to other songs of the same type.
Tell me a genre and I will show you a song I like from it.
music needs to give me that emotional rush, that adrenaline I feel listening to a good melody.
is like heroin, you know?
Mason Bailey
>fit >131
ahahahahahahaha
Juan Barnes
Try to think about music as a place. try to absorb the feeling and atmosphere the song creates.
Now please, sit through the album i gave you for more than 3 minutes and give it an honest chance. if you can't give it a real chance, don't complain that you stay stuck in the same bubble of music.
If you are really serious go listen to some music, 200 songs in your lifetime is fucking pathetic
Josiah Reed
listen to full albums. you will find one you like eventually. or don't, and miss out on what is truly amazing about music.
Jackson Sullivan
This is 100% a real chart. doesn't look fake at all. It's clearly very easy to test the IQ of random anonymous people through the internet
Liam Parker

Adrian James
part of appreciation is knowing theory... but i don't at all think that you need to know it to appreciate - especially - classical music. pure music bro, just sit back and take it in (and that alone can ingrain some theory knowledge)
Brody Bennett
man, is always the same crap with musictards.
oh, you haven't listened enough music, oh you're a pleb.
but they never make the effort to understand me.
sure, that album may seem interesting to a person who loves music and understand music theory.
but most of that music seems to lack that powerfull melody that gives me goosebums and put in a emotional states, as if it were some drugs.
I could say I have listened to some songs for literally hours by now.
I simply put a youtube song in a loop and I listen to it five to a dozen times.
that's how I enjoy music.
most albums are filled with filler bro. At best one or two songs from an album is memorable.
Knowing theory has nothing to do with appreciating music as an artform.
When you look at a beautiful painting, you don't think "this painting is beautiful because of the color theory behind it", you just absorb the atmosphere and emotions the painting portrays.
It's the same thing with music
Jack Cox
what does hobsbawm have to do with this
Leo Torres
Enjoyment of music has NOTHING to do with music theory. and anyone who says otherwise is just misleading you.
see what i posted here Try to understand and absorb the musical ARTISTIC intentions of the music. the feeling it creates, the atmosphere it creates. how does it make you feel
Austin Brooks
well, in part, i think it does. it provides one with a logic as to what exactly is occurring in a track.
and when i look at a painting, a lot of what i appreciate comes from good composition, palette, scene, etc. bad analogy anyway
I don't need more than a minute to see if I will like it or not.
your album seems like all those generic indie albums hipsters enjoy.
you still haven't answered my question:
Name a genre and I will show you a song or two.
Brandon Cruz
>your album seems like all those generic indie albums hipsters enjoy.
It's actually prog rock/art rock with some metal in it
Maybe you needed more than a minute to judge it properly. especially considering the first song in the album changes DRAMATICALLY after the first minute.
You are really really dumb if you think you can judge a 44 minutes long album based on one minute
Carter Thomas
dale
Ayden Richardson
>most albums are filled with filler bro. t. someone who has only listened to 10 albums
Christian Green
holy fuck dude... this is the most ignorant thing ive read in a loooong time.
Ryder Collins
...
Ian Williams
He also judged an entire 44 minutes long album i gave him after hearing it for only one minute
Brody Foster
Let me tell you a secret, dear op: music is about context. That's why you can hear a soundtrack and feel nothing but then watch the movie/game/whatever from where it's from and then feel it's now the tightest shit ever.
So to like classical music, you have to live the classical life. That might be like changing from being a bird to become a fish. You have to become another person, another being, just to apreciate a completely different style of music - a life style.
...Or you can just use drugs. I recommend DMT, you will aprecciate EVERYTHING on this shit.
most albums are filled with hours of filler music and most albums only have one or two singles hit.
>progressive rock so, indie crap made by some obscure garage band in the middle of scandinavia only other hispters enjoy.
nice.
Bentley Morgan
haha bro just stfu
Evan Jackson
1. You said you heard only 200 songs in your entire life. That amounts to around 20 albums. on what basis are you saying "most albums are just filler with one or two hits"???????????
2. >so, indie crap made by some obscure garage band in the middle of scandinavia only other hispters enjoy.
Maudlin Of The Well are actually an avant-garde metal band from the US. this particular album just barely has any metal in it, unlike the rest of their discography
Gabriel Myers
just stop responding
Isaiah Robinson
everytime I try to listen to some album is generic shit.
