How can you call yourself a music critic if you don't like classical music?

not music

that's easy, he goes by needledrop and vinyl hipsters dont buy classical on vinyl, or at all

You can call yourself a music critic and not like music at all. That seems to be the guiding principle of /mu/.

>liking music played by autistics who, for some reason, can't keep time without a faggot waving a little wand around yet they all think they're above everyone

>>127077842
your victimhood is showing

>>127077842
Classical is the only music where the music is of any importance. If you do not listen to any classical you simply do not like music, but the theatrics around music because you cannot comprehend the medium beyond social dynamics. In which case you should probably get a different hobby, like wrestling.

Seems like someone got triggered. Are you a wand waver?

Good morning sar

>>127076742 (OP)
Fantano not liking classical music made me respect him. Why? Because he's honest. In all reviewers, I value honesty.

>>127077910
How do you know he doesn't like classical?

>>127077899
Don't really think you get that better than you attitude from anyone other than classicalfags

>>127077909
Good morning, redeem the pop music sir

>>127076742 (OP)
Because music has multiple genres, and people will like some genres more than others.
It's really that simple.

>>127077930
>classical
>genre
Lmao, retard, get a different hobby

>>127077926
The most elitist faggots i have seen are those that pretend run of the mill rock music is better than classical music.

>>127077922
I recall in some videos that he indeed did say that he was not too big on it. I don't think he hates it, it's just not something he regularly listens to. I'm sure we all of have a particular genre that we don't actively dislike, but we don't ever go out of our way to listen to.

Which means his opinions are not to be taken seriously. Its like someone into movies who only watches marvelslop

>>127077910
Being an honest retard is still being a retard

Music other than classical being art is a lie anyways. One he chooses to believe, but still a lie at the end of the day.

>>127077947
Sounds like you know some obnoxious people. The only people I know that fit the bill are black metal spergs.

>>127077966
That's absolutely not the same lol. It's not even close to being the same. It's more that he would be into movies and not be into a particular (sub) genre where there are lots of critically acclaimed movies like mobster movies.

>>127077967
People watch Fantano, because they want to know his opinion on music. They don't watch Fantano because they want some expert, pro opinion on music. They like his personality and they tend to generally like his taste. That's why people watch him.

Because they're too uninteresting to make up their own mind, but for some reason would prefer someone on the same level of retardation as them. At that point it might as well be a friend simulator, which is what he is.

>>127078020

>>127078020
It's not a genre you fucking retard. It's a whole form of music meant to be art. His comparison is perfectly on point. Its like being into movies while not liking a single art film at all and only watching hollyjew slop for hedonistic entertainment rather than anything else

>>127078020
>That's absolutely not the same lol. It's not even close to being the same. It's more that he would be into movies and not be into a particular (sub) genre where there are lots of critically acclaimed movies like mobster movies.
Classical music is not a genre. You do jot understand music, get a different hobby

>>127078054
You're trying too hard

>>127078020
Lmao you a retard

>>127078064
nice cope, you will never be smart.

>>127078070
Didn't mean you were the same person. You're both just trying to hard with your opinion. Settle the fuck down.

>>127078020
anyone calling classical music a genre should be banned from any and all music discussion for life, their opinion is pf np value

>>127078084
>Making a factual statement is trying too hard
Classical music is not a genre, you are simply exposing your own retardation with this

>>127078035
>Because they're too uninteresting to make up their own mind
No, that's not the reason why the majority of people watch Fantano. When people say that in his comment section, they're joking. The majority of people watch Fantano, because they have some sort of interest in music + they like his personality (they think he's funny - that's why his bad reviews do so well). This is like thinking PewDiePie was popular because of his selection of games that he played on his channel. No, people came to watch PewDiePie play certain games, not the other way around.

>>127078039
>>127078053
>>127078054
>>127078094
I consider classical music to be a genre, and I really don't care about who considers what kind of music is art or not. I listen to all sorts of music, and if I like it, I like it. There is nothing more to it than that.

>>127078095
Not even the anon you're talking about, asshole. You're proving that classical music is made by and made for autistics. Makes sense that most people don't enjoy it.

He's a popular music critic. Probably why he has a much bigger audience than say Dave's Classical Guide. He sticks to music with a large appeal whether that be common denominator or not is up for debate as he occasionally reviews more underground stuff. It's a simple case of supply and demand. There's more demand for conversation about travis scott than some 100 year old impressionist piece like ravel or something

>>127078113
>I consider classical music to be a genre,
That's the TLDR for anyone with an IQ above 1 digit. Nothing else is worth reading in this post. This alone discredits it

>>127078113

So... friend sim? Good job on proving my point. Fantano is not for people who genuinely care for music and barely a critic at that point.

>>127078113
Embarassing

>>127078113
>and I really don't care about who considers what kind of music is art or not. I listen to all sorts of music, and if I like it, I like it. There is nothing more to it than that.
So you're a mindless consumer who does not think any deeper about the medium he's supposedly here to discuss? Why not get a different hobby then? You clearly do not care for music if you can't be assed to even get surface level knowledge on it.

>>127078113
If you need a critic, you should refrain from discussion

>>127078168
Tell that to these guys >>127078144, >>127078157 and virtually everyone else in this thread. They dislike Fantano because he's not a "real" critic.

>>127078144
>Fantano is not for people who genuinely care for music and barely a critic at that point.
Okay? And?

>>127078157
I do care about music, just not so much that I cry about Fantano not liking a particular genre. I watch Fantano from time to time, though only his negative reviews for entertainment value.

>>127077947
this

>>127078197
>I do care about music
Clearly, you're not as honest as fantano

>>127078197
This is too funny

>>127078208
>This is too funny
Not as funny how people here are butthurt people watch Fantano despite not being a "real" music critic

Classical music is just wankery, I want a solid melody and repetition. Plus he reviews contemporary music and there isn't a huge classical scene putting out interesting music

>>127078230
>there isn't a huge classical scene putting out interesting music
Contemporary popular music is not very interesting.

I prefer jazz over classical music. sorry not sorry

>>127078251
Neither is your 45 minute wankery by trained musicians who can't keepctime

>>127077874
Professional wrestling has more worth in this world than classical music. Sorry you're a mark faggot who likes dimeless shit.

>>127078267
>who can't keepctime
That's not why conductors exist. It's because orchestras are so huge that you need someone to keep it organized. String quartets don't have conductors just like rock bands and they keep time just fine. If anything popular musicians can't keep time because they need blaring drums with no subtlety to keep time for them.

>>127078262
Jazz is profoundly pointless music.

>>127078284
At least you tried to provide an answer and didn't go after my typo so you're alright, anon.

>>127078290
Isn't all music pointless and something we all enjoy anyway? What's wrong with people liking what they like? I don't get jazz or classical but they make people happy and that's a good thing

>>127078290
Why is jazz pointless but classical music important?

>>127078319
Jazz is inert music, the spiritual hymn of a dying civilization. It's not transcendent nor does it aspire towards anything greater.

>>127078332
What a fucking stupid answer kek

>>127078315
>Isn't all music pointless
You saying this betrays the fact that you don't get it.

>>127078344
Seethe

>>127078345
I love a lot of different kinds of music. I don't get jazz and I don't enjoy classical music but music is a wonderful thing and I don't think anyone should be putting down one thing or another.

Can any of these classical fags name some contemporary, recently released Classical Music that he should be reviewing? Don't bring up anything from 1827, a lot of music critics like listening to and reviewing new music. What is some contemporary, avant-garde, neo-classical music compositions that have been recently released and are worth listening to and reviewing for a music critic?

>>127076742 (OP)
why would he waste hi time reviewing music that peaked hundreds of years ago? are there artists putting out great new albums of classical music in this current day?

>>127080037
>>127080064
It's not that he doesn't review it, it's that he doesn't know anything about it or enjoy it.

>>127080172
can you blame him? or anyone? i'm not trying to shit on classical but it's not accessible music. people want stuff with hooks and vocals. even prog has those.

>>127080223
>can you blame him?
Yes, because he's presenting himself as an authority on music, and often reviews music that purports to be high art (even though most of it isn't).

>>127080172
But what is there to review? What is an example of somebody creating new and innovative classical musics? It always seem to me that classical music people are uncreative, because the only thing they do is imitate people from 200 years ago, rather than create something today.

Artists create, who is creating new classical music worth listening to? Creativity means to create, who is creating?

>>127080286
How would you feel if you hadn't eaten today?

>>127080281
No one thinks Fantano is an authority on music of any kind and if they do then that's a clear sign for you to not take anything they say seriously.

>>127077930
Music has multiple genres, yet classical music has hundreds of genres and is a thousand years old and is the most diverse category of all time. Makes sense, yeah, you fucking dilettante.

>>127078274
Sounds like a statement from a soulless man, therefore has no worth

>>127080064
Nobody in the last 100 years has made a good piece of music, certainly not in the album format

>>127080306
I don't know because I did eat you braindead faggot
