To say this in the nicest and most non-confrontational manner possible: I really do not share much of a musical taste with /mu/.

Y tho?

>>126955767 (OP)
same. i almost turned right back around when i first came here and got the impression it was all alternative bullshit/pretentious /mu/core

>>126955767 (OP)
Yeah, same.

/mu/ has no interest in music other than as social capital. They consume enough music that their ability to appreciate the art becomes atrophied and the main goal is to just listen to more obscure stuff.

They are remarkably in love with off-kilter pop music for a board full of people who take pride in their passion for experimental music, and arguments here quickly devolve into interminable baiting between "it's boring" / "no, it's good" / "no, it's shit" because nobody has any basic knowledge of music theory or ability to articulate their opinions beyond "feels."

The few informed listeners of academic music spend their time signaling to the rest of the board and use their taste as leverage to get fifteen minutes of online pseudo-notoriety.

/mu/ consists of people who aren't as weird as they like to think but use their ample free time and piracy to invest in a hobby that makes them feel special or sophisticated, allowing them to compensate for their lack of social skills and failures in concrete or academic pursuits.

The biggest irony is that the vast majority of /mu/ is a hivemind ruled by a handful of online tastemakers mostly concerned with maintaining a balance between supporting "alternative" pop that will appeal to misunderstood teenagers and maintaining street cred among bored college students who constantly seek out "experimental" music for their mild amusement, negating the cultivation of individual taste or critical thinking in relation to music.

It's a feedback loop of posturing, masturbatory attitudes, and enough layers of irony to suffocate any hope of meaningful conversation. This last element--irony--is vital to allowing /mu/ and similar collectives to ignore the reality of their situation and disregard posts as this one with little more than tongue-in-cheek one-word responses. One-word critiques of albums: "This album is boring" and nothing else.

Deep down you all know you're going nowhere in life and this is all a farce

>>126955901
you could’ve just said “/mu/ is full of tourists and cazzies” but i get your point

>>126955901
This post is boring

>>126955901
bro i just like to come here to discuss music i like and shit on music i don't because i can't do that anywhere else with such complete freedom and transparency. it's not that deep

>>126955779
I like maybe a handful of metal albums. It's an overall shitty and boring genre that has trouble innovating, in my humble opinion.
>>126955816
Because I like the freedom and anonymity of 4chan and I really like music.

>>126955901
the piracy line really dates this

>>126955901
Constantly seeking out new music is only worthwhile if you're a musician yourself

>>126955901
>the main goal is just to listen to obscure stuff
Then why are there conversations about the Beatles every single day?

>Constantly seeking out new music is only worthwhile if you're a musician yourself
Are you retarded? You think being a musician makes you special anon?

>I really do not share much of a musical taste with /mu/.
OK, Rajesh

i just like new sounds and whatever basic pop makes the fag in me jump out

>>126955767 (OP)
You shouldn't especially not as a grown man. It was always intended as an entry for teens.

>>126955767 (OP)
Every time we have a lastfm thread I have Very Low compatibility with pretty much every single other poster in the thread. Some of the shit you gays listen to I don't know if they're obscure acts or top 40 garbage because the artist names just look like jibberish to me.

>>126955767 (OP)
Neither do I. Ridiculous as the theme of the opera this music is a part of, I might just be the only one on this board who's mentioned it with the emphasis it deserves. I only wish it sounded as good in HD 600s as it does in my car or through my loudspeakers.

Likewise, this sounds pretty spectacular through HD 600s. It's pretty interesting how much difference it makes depending on the equipment you're using.

My disrespect for my fellow man runs so deep that I don't think him deserving of clear audio

>>126959435
I don't notice my fellow man in that sense. I care about what gives me a certain kind of private pleasure.

>>126955767 (OP)
Same. Can't find anyone who knows or are willing to discuss some of the greatest country albums to ever be released.
