Contrarian Filters

Instead of pleb filters, how about we do contrarian filters?

Purple Rain is the ultimate contrarian filter.

ok

Arctic Monkeys is litteraly contrarian filter: the band

You mean The Beatles.

Both

I'm generally skeptical of people who freely accuse others of being contrarians. It's usually an egotistical way to discredit someone whose opinion brings you cognitive dissonance. But if there's a single musical example that truly embodies the concept, it's .

Led Zeppelin

This.

Most popular music, whether it be more underground or not.

>people ITT unironically like arctic monkeys and MGMT

Contrarian spotted

This. If someone dismisses The Beatles you can safely ignore everything they have to say.

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

its a great album

>if more than 12 people like something it sucks

EVEN A BIRD WOULD WANT A TASTE OF DIRT FROM ABYSSAL DARK

>Popular Music
>Underground
Pick one

This but unironically.

You mean you think that everything that more than 12 people like is bad?
Wow

OR DROWN LIKE A RAT
HES A RAT
HES A RAT
HES A RAT

Yes, the opinions of normies will always be wrong.

I'm not sure what that's supposed to mean, but my favorite is probably Controversy. Purple Rain is probably second or third, though.

Sign o the Times is his best for me.

although I'm having trouble sorting out exactly what a contrarian filter would mean


>pleb filter
means plebs will turn it off immediately,

>contrarian filter
doesn't make sense, contrarians will resist anything worth mentioning.

pleb filter: if you don't like it, you are a pleb
contrarian filter: if you don't like it, you are a contrarian

not hard to figure out. anyway Carly fucking Rae is neither

easy

Really anything Bruno Mars has done.

his first record is a stinker
