Thread 126770969

I thought I liked rock music. Rock seemed straightforward enough. Rock is the sound that makes you want to jump around and bodyslam people. But then /mu/ told me that if you don't like AC/DC you don't like rock. I believe it. I've heard musicians I respect say the same.

AC/DC puts me to sleep. I feel barely any "rock" from them. Even Janet Jackson "rocks" harder than AC/DC. And then I heard another "soft" song that "rocks" (not all the way through but the parts that don't "rock" accentuate the parts that do):
Kate Bush - Don't Push Your Foot on the Heartbrake

Compared to AC/DC this is pretty much Slayer. There has to be some mistake. I have somehow misunderstood "rock" and true rock is not that moshing/headbanging feeling at all. What I like is probably "thrash" and I like music that "thrashes". Drum 'n' bass (90s/00s DnB, not atmospheric zoomercore) thrashes. Thrash metal obviously thrashes. Death metal thrashes some of the time. Black metal hardly ever thrashes, and I assume it doesn't rock either. So what's the difference? Please explain.

Don't you struggle
Don't you fight
Don't you worry
'Cause it's your turn tonight
Let me put my love into you, babe
Let me put my love on the line
Let me put my love into you, babe
Let me cut your cake with my knife, OHHHHHHHH

Title track to this album fucking rules, OP filtered

nah ACDC does suck and theyre sound is what inspired all the shitty 80s hard rock. rock was better before them and better after them when grunge started stripping the sound back down.

>>126771560
Doesn't get much more stripped dowm than AcDc.

>>126771427
this
OP is a faggot

So what actually is "rock"?

Never listen to /mu/ first mistake. Anyone who says "If you don't like X you don't like Y" is always wrong. If you like Y you like Y end of story

Kek I was the guy that said that in that electronic music thread from a couple days ago

>>126770969 (OP)
Am I understanding you correctly OP-Kate Bush is like Slayer compared to AC/DC?

>>126773898
>>126773907
But AC/DC sold many millions of albums. There has to be something to it.
>>126773942
That song specifically, yes, in how I thought it "rocked". I realize it sounds unlikely. That's why I think my understanding of "rock" is wrong.

>>126773963
I think you're just gay, Anon. Normal heterosexual men in the 1980's did not listen to Kate Bush. Only homos listened to that.

>>126773963
You're wrong in every sense. KAte Bush only makes you want to jump around and bodyslam more than AC/DC if your a 9 year old girl

Only reason anyone likes AC/DC is "because everyone does". Just skip to the creme de la creme

I wouldn't have enjoyed her music at first. I started out mostly listening to video game soundtracks. I didn't like any music with singing. Then I began listening to various 90s/00s dance music with vocal samples, which I thought of more as effects than actual singing. I gradually increased my tolerance to singing by listening to death metal, and then other metal genres, and then finally I listened to some Michael Jackson and learned to fully appreciate good pop music. I think Kate Bush is in the same tier.
>>126774016
So what is this thing that thrash metal has that AC/DC does not?

My mistake Kate Bush is apparently "Art Rock", I don't buy it but I don't listen to her

>>126774041
Thrash is like Holy Wars by Megadeth

>>126774041
Yeah, Anon, you're just gay. Someone like you would've just been considered a faggot in the 80's. I don't know what else to tell you.

>>126770969 (OP)
OP, I'm asking this sincerely, are you autistic?

>>126774169
That information should not be necessary to distinguish between thrash and rock.

>>126774181
Yes it should.
