Sup Forums is just a stepping stone for musical exploration. The "essentials" are set up as just that, stepping stones for expansive genres, these albums and artists are usually the most popular to give inexperienced listeners a respect and want to explore said genres & styles. After those initial essentials, it's entirely in the hands of the listener to explore the genres and go beyond the list goes on tier artists and albums.

I remember these threads from 6 months ago.

I thought Sup Forums was the patrician board where all the experts and ''patricians'' hung out?

A Genre Justice Warrior (GJW for short) is a mentally challenged person that, in his quest to force diversity and quality discussion on a certain website's musical community, only brings things down even further.

His rhetoric is based entirely on anti-rockist sentiment: all genres are equal and rock is no different. In his quest to achieve musical diversity he brings down rock music's historical achievements; the GJW refuses to accept the fact that rock music has been the dominant and most popular music genre in the past 70 years, that rock music has been the one to set the standards for all of modern music to come.
The GJW despises the umbrella label "electronic music", wanting people to use the niche subgenre names instead. He refuses to accept the fact that electronic music simply lacks the stylistic diversity of rock music, and that electronic music has NEVER been as impactful on popular music as rock music has been in the past half a century.
The GJW despises the album format, calling it a vile creation of the capitalist rockist society, and calls for all non-rock listening music fans to abandon the album format completely in favor of singles and expanded plays. He ignores the fact that by doing so, he destroys jazz threads since those won't be able to talk about anything but jazz bootlegs and 1920's dixie land singles, he annihilates classical generals since those won't be anything but composition generals. He implies that electronic music is a non-album genre, by treating all electronic music as rave music and disregarding the plethora of electronic music genres that do rely on the album format. The GJW hence ironically enough becomes a rockist himself, the only difference being that he forces a bleepist standard of music appreciation instead of a rock music one.

The GJW promotes diversity, but doesn't promote actual quality content: it is why you see multiple niche genre threads started by the GJW in which he spams genre charts and copypastas, but fails to do something, anything, of actual value, to ignite actual interesting discussion.

The GJW forces people to listen to "elite" music such as the avant-garde and various traditional world musics for the sake of diversity, but doesn't ask people to think of the music they are listening to. The end result of his actions is the /daily/ general: a community of people listening to traditional music whilst ignoring the socio-cultural context, a community of people listening to the avant-garde without applying a single bit of musical analysis to the process. A community of people treating music like fashion, a community of teenagers degrading historical and artistic artefacts to nothing more than memes. And yet, despite creating the monstrosity that is the /daily/ general, the GJW doesn't stop: not until the whole board is one huge poseur circlejerk shall the GJW lay down to rest.

The GJW lives in a world of his own, and refuses to listen to anyone that tries to change his ways, which is why it is pointless to argue him; it's for the best if people not reply to his threads but filter him and his pastas completely. But most important of all is that people don't fall pray to his autism.

fucking rockist slug

Even better.

>electronic music is garbage
prove me wrong

Hi Turny.

beats guitar music

will bleepists ever recover?

holy shit like the clouds parting a bit of light hits this shitty board

no one on mu is responsible for your taste, it just acts as a little door into genres and artists and time periods for you to peer through. the rest -- what you end up listening to or what you like, "god tier" albums for you, you have to go on and find for yourself.

the fact that everyone expects mu to spoonfeed them artists is incredibly annoying

this pic has to be bait

Why? Looks straight forward facts to me.

Neither DJ Shadow nor Avalanches are plunderphonics though.

Also, a lot of those genres you should say "the list goes on" after just a single artist lol

The "essentials" are not actually essential though.

No, I get the joke, I'm just saying it could be even funnier.

>The "essentials" are not actually essential though.

Yes, obviously this is true. Nothing is truly "essential" other than breathing, eating and sleeping. However, for the inexperienced listener, it's very helpful to have albums curated. So, yes while I agree as a term it's too loose and doesn't mean much, for the new-friend looking to take music a little bit more serious, it's a very useful tool to have.

Eh, no, that's not what I meant. It's not a good selection of essential music, mostly because it's like 90% to 95% rock, and not even essential rock at that. It's only useful to further dumb down inexperienced music listeners.

I suppose you're going to explain why the avalanches or DJ Shadow aren't plunderphonics

Ah, my mistake. I didn't realise we were talking Sup Forumscore. I was initially talking about genre specific essentials and charts.

The Sup Forumscore chart, in general, is as you said heavily biased towards rock music and that's just an unfortunate result of the environment and culture that Sup Forums mostly features. In general, though, my point stands that the essentials charts - not Sup Forumscore - are helpful for new listeners to gain a grasp on the styles and intricacies of a genre.

Except that most essential genre charts are rock too.

Because they are rooted in hip hop music, unless you want to argue that hip hop in general is plunderphonics + a beat + rapping.

Cringe
