I TURNED MYSELF INTO A TROUT MORTY

>he actually listens to this shit
it IS a meme you fucking moron

There's nothing wrong with you, it's a fantastic album

Nothing. Enjoy it for what it is.

It is pretty much the first music meme
>fast and bulbous

It's a rite of passage to filter newfags

Watch this

>Vox
Actually a good video desu

It's memetic in the literal definition of the word and in absolutely no way the first one unless music began in 1969.
That means you're using the internet usage of the word meme and you should have a long think about how you're a dumb cunt.

k

you got tricked. just put it in the trash where it belongs.

If you don't like memes, you're in the wrong place and you need to go back.

i dont get why people think this album is a "meme"
it's been widely praised by critics for decades

Nothing's wrong with you, this is how it's supposed to work. The only people who don't "somehow enjoy it" are the ones who are too conditioned to listening to hiphop and indie to enjoy anything that doesn't have a steady beat or a hook.

Since you know so much about memetic processes, perhaps you should ponder why you're disparaging him for using a word with a connotative meaning to members of a culture (Sup Forums) who are able to both recognize the code and validate its meaning. Aren't you being a bit prescriptive for someone so knowledgeable about the nuances of narratology?

But its meaning is incorrect in that context

stfu you sound like a youtube comment lol

yes it's experimental, yes it's weird, yes it's still good everyone knows already

This album is nothing but just plain good.

>1969 music begins
>1975 classic time of old singers like captain beefheart
>1987 music getting better and better mbv figures out to make music soup
>1995 music still ok but problems start too appear
>2000 jeff mangum starts semencore genre where is all the music gone?
>2010 bad music taking over
>2015 meme rappers begin to appear rip music goodbye

>1920 : Post-punk revival
>1930 : Punk scene begins
>1940: Proto punk

This, it's A CATCHY ALBUM with a few interesting experimental interludes, 9/10

Op here, just finished it
I still don't know what the fuck I just listened to
But I somewhat liked it.

It's a meme bro, you've been played.

>Because I don't like something it means others can't enjoy it
I enjoyed most of the retarded lyrics, they're fast and bulbous.

Lyrically it’s beautiful. Compositionally it’s unheard of, instruments playing in different time signatures at the same time. Somehow it seems totally careless and very careful at the same time. It’s an album unlike any other

>thinks memes are bad
>posts on Sup Forums

What did he mean by this

In a denotative sense, maybe. But in the connotative sense that a meme is a paradoxical structure that possesses both meaningfulness and meaninglessness at once, I would argue that the post makes an interesting proposition. Trout Mask Replica is arguably one of the first examples of a post-ironic musical expression. And because memes, by their nature, cannot be confined to prescribed expressions, your condescending remarks about his intelligence in fact show only your own myopia.

so was anyone actually "influenced" by this album?

Underrated

Whether sincere or post-ironic is impossible to say without Van Vliet's intention being clearly defined.
In the case of it being a continuation of Zappa's ideas, rather than being independent of them or even a retort to them, it may indeed be post-ironic. This we'll never know though.

its good

this album is better though

You're listening to it wrong. Find a girl you really like (or guy if your into that) and during a really intimate moment, play the first half the the album. The last half is for the sex afterwards.

Yes, every New Wave artist

>But I somewhat liked it.
No you didn't. Stop pretending.
