Can you guys start making good threads again?

The people talking in those threads mostly moved on with their lives. The people talking in threads now are a different, more retarded generation.

>>127603986 (OP)
OP, the average IQ of this board is at least 15 points lower now, and they're mostly posting from phones

>>127603986 (OP)
It would help if there was any music that was even slightly good coming out currently.
But no, everyone just wants to listen to music that sounds like a shitty commercial and hang out with their pets that they treat like children because no one can be bothered to have a personality in 2025.
It’s over.

>>127604242
That too

those are some reddit ass replies in that old thread. /mu/ sucked shit back then.

>>127604541
I'd take that any day over the hollow, negative, boring shit that faggots like you post on here

This board has become so demoralised

>>127603986 (OP)
The problem with /mu/, and all of 4chan in general, is that we stopped gatekeeping as hard. Gatekeeping is the key to a healthy community, along with strict moderation that just deletes the retards.
>HEY GUYS CAN YOU RECOMMEND ME SOME MUSIC TO START WITH I'M SURE WE NEED A MILLION THREADS ON THIS EVERYDAY LOL
it's just taken its toll on the internet over the years. 4chan used to be kept healthy with weebshit, racism, and a general sense of elitism, but that's kind of faded as the "experts" on the matter left and newfags came in.

Don't get me wrong, this is still one of the better websites in general to discuss a lot of niche shit, but I'm afraid we've all lost something we'll never get back
>don't forget, you're here forever

>>127605007
everyone who disagrees with or turned their back on /mu/ core needs to leave.

>>127605034
you're not even wrong. In hindsight, it was a board identity and kept everyone on the same page. Now we've got kpop faggots and waifu orbiters
>At least we have a regular jazz discussion thread

>>127605063
I like /shugazi/, there's often genuine music discussion in there

The entire internet was better decades ago.

>>127604541
You mean the /mu/ that had an actual subculture? the /mu/ where /mu/core came from? when it had an identity and was a tastemaker? Yeah, boy... so glad we have none of that now, so glad there's literally nothing that has replaced it and /mu/core now is the same exact albums as back then because the entire community just died off. God bless 2016 for raping the site, now it's le based and everything is sub 100 IQ /pol/tards pissing and screaming about the same things every day, on every board.

Kill yourself.

>>127605063
Kpop general was here from day one

>>127603986 (OP)
4chan used to be so civil back then. The cancer that flocked here because of GG and Trump will try and gaslight you into thinking 4chan was always the most toxic cesspool in the world but it's not true.

>>127606068
based and redpillerd

>>127606098
If that's even remotely true, there's no way it was the coomerposting, spreading outside its general like a cancer, no-discussion dumping ground it has been for years now.

>>127603986 (OP)
There used to be a certain camaraderie on 4chan, people bonded with one another based on their common interests and experiences. Then /v/tards invented the soijak and every thread since has been a bunch of retards at each other's throats pretending to be better than one another

>>127606098
There were a whopping 3 threads with "kpop general" in the subject line between 2011-2013. The first of which (June 2012) was deleted by based jannies
https://desuarchive.org/mu/search/subject/kpop%20general/start/2011-01-01/end/2013-01-01/

>>127607491
4chan's decline is longer and more complicated, but you can blame a Swede on /int/ for the soijak.

>>127603986 (OP)
Internet is worse over all now
It's just a race to the bottom to see who can be the meanest while appearing the smuggest

always been a shit board, we've just exchanged mbv flags and indie shits for koop, troons and brownoids

just different scents of shit

>>127604015
Fpbp, these people are all like 37 now and have no business on an imageboard. Remaining userbase here is nostalgic sad sacks and lost children.

>>127603986 (OP)
It's funny seeing every other post talking about high school/college classes. 4chan's average age was way younger

>>127605007
>racism is the key to a healthy community
dude what
you can be anti racist and still tell newfags to lurk moar. i do it often

>>127607559
If you go even further, it's a pole in kc/int/

>>127605034
If you enjoy Radiohead post Pablo Honey, you desserve to have your faggot head cut off.

>>127603986 (OP)
>good 4chan discussion
>after 2016
hahaha you fucking retard
this website is DEAD
its culture is FORGOTTEN
no one comes here to laugh or talk anymore, they come here to hate on others and humiliate them while they themselves cry about their sorry lives
and it will NEVER be good again

>>127608027
who do you think we're keeping on the other side of the gate, you retarded nigger?

>>127607757
I still find good music on here just not as frequently and I've been here since about 2013. The problem is the other posters only bump shitty threads because they refuse to broaden their taste and collectively decided mucore isn't good when most of it was

>>127603986 (OP)
Go back then

>>127604114
>Muh heckin IQ!

You can have racial apprehensions and not bring up race where it's irrelevant or distracting to discussion.
You can also be helpful and friendly to good people, while scorning willful retards, plebs, trolls, and others who only seek to waste the time and energy of yourself and others, regardless of race.

>>127604541
Reddit and 4chan were much more similar back then

>>127605034
Did you say to low res version? because i cant read most of the text on the right side

>>127604541
Reddit was equally as racist and edgy, but less refined in taste than 4chan back then. They didn't make their heel turn into toxic progressive positivity until later in the 2010s

>>127607491
/mu/ unironically was more mean in the early 2010s. Boyband spammer isn't wrong. You could not make a Beatles thread without 20 replies saying the Beatles suck go kill yourself.

>>127608733
I live in a big city and genuinely do not have any racial apprehensions. I have dated outside of my race and have had great experiences doing so. Even if the tide turns re: public perception, i will maintain that racism is retarded. but i WILL be calling people retarded niggers

>>127604541
kill yourself painfully newnigger

>>127605034
based

>>127603986 (OP)
we still have good threads

>>127610163
They make me giggle, but ritualposts are not good threads.

>>127607654
Yeah everyone is obsessed with bringing people down and proving them wrong to appear better. It's really odd

>>127609386
Wrong there was always beatlesfags making their megathreads and dudes who shat on them at every turn. Kill yourself boyband fag loser

>>127605034
WTF were they thinking missing Darkthrone on the metal section, I wonder.

>>127609386
I agree that Ruffiposting was more earnest and aggressive, that users were more contrarian about music, etc. However, as you can see ITT (>>127605034) the Plebeatles were in the charts that circulated back then. But my point is about how posters related to each other, not how they talked about music. Rarely on /mu/ these days do you see people mirroring one another's enthusiasm for music or providing any helpful recommendations

>>127604541
This is what happens when ironyfags paint sincere expression as le reddit cringe for a decade plus. You see conversations that aren't clogged with contempt and irreverence and can't even process what you're looking at.

>>127604541
lmao shut up you fucking dork. this board was the best place on the internet to discuss music up until A Moon Shaped Pool. You memeing emotionally inept dip shits ruined it. eat shit

>>127604612
amen

>>127603986 (OP)
You weren't wrong, that thread was kino and a time capsule. Thank you for sharing. God I wish we could go back

>>127603986 (OP)
Be the change you want to see, anon.

The internet was much less angry than now. Every thread now gets shut down quickly by nihilistic kneejerk replies. People just don't have patience anymore

But those replies are not that great. Like there's a guy wondering why he played "Float on" to his normie friends and they told him to skip it. It's Modest Mouse, they sound desperate and demented even when they try to sound upbeat

I used to post here nearly 15 years ago. Ama

>>127613470
I remember back in the day being dead set on spreading emo music to the public. The reality was the public was maybe 100 /mu/ users. Now the public is every single tiktok/insta user

>>127613567
What do you see as the sharpest /mu/ demographic change in terms of genre, listening habits, or the like?

>>127615948
Not that anon but this board has been invaded by cock rock loving boomers and nu metal lovers. It's sad.

>>127603986 (OP)
another case of zoomers ruining everything

>>127616177
Zoomers all have pretty terrible opinions about music too. They make assumptions about things they haven't listened to then present it as fact. They treat music like any other mass marketed product, an Apple phone, some Nike shoes, etc... To them if it's not popular it is inferior.

>>127603986 (OP)
You shouldn't read Desuarchive, OP. It'll make you less happy when you see better quality 4chins and realise blue boards were super different to /b/ and /pol/. It's better to not know the extent.

>>127613301
some of those greentext stories were pure gold. we don't do greentext stories anymore...

>>127606068
keyed

>>127617588
I'd rather try to learn what made old /mu/ good and try to bring that back.
