Thread 512988876

What a strange time we're living in. Nobody cares for like actual live music and musicianship. Nobody cares about playing instruments live, singing well, the joy and the glory of it. No more big bands, no big musicians. Nobody composes good music. By saying nobody I'm generalizing massively, but it's true. We, of course, had the retarded rap music for the past 3 decades, but I don't even think rap survived. I don't know what music is like today, it frels like it's become super niche and non-existent and if you play an instrument it will probably give women the ick.

Isn't this Popo? Hello, Poponigger.

>>512988991
It is Popo

Despite "pop music" still existing and playing on the radio, nobody listens to pop music anymore. The radio's become background noise.
No, but really. Talk to somebody and ask them to name a pop music song from the last 5 years. Most people will blank. They can't even name anything, or at most they'll name something popular on the internet (but not on the radio). Radio pop music only exists because artists and jewish managers pay money to have their literally whos to broadcast across the world to pretend we still have new celebrities. Meanwhile, newer music that gets popular on the internet generally gets popular more "authentically" through word of mouth or algorithms pushing it because it's already gaining traction.

The thing is, millennials essentially killed commercial, mainstream music. Millennials are some of the least talented, least innovative artists of all time.
Your favourite 90s and 2000s musicians? They were almost entirely all Gen X. The few interesting musicians putting out innovative stuff in the 2010s? Gen X; Hell, even boomers were breaking more ground in the 2010s. Millennials on the other hand are a consumerist nu-male generation and their biggest contributions to music are doubling down on nigger fetishism, electronic pop music and quirky meme genres like vaporwave and shit.

Millennials have literally created nothing inspiring in terms of music and that's a large part of the reason nobody cares about mainstream pop music anymore.

Zoomers almost entirely all listen to older music from before 2010, or internet music. Ironically zoomers have put out more interesting, avant-garde music in the 2020s than millennials did in the 2010s, with progressive rock and alternative rock making a come back in zoomer musician circles in the UK

I'm too introverted and autistic to play music live, though I do record with real instruments sometimes

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZDwPV

so I just mostly write music on my computer and post it on YouTube for fun, I dont really care if people consider me a "real" musician or not. its a hobby, not my career/identity.

the music scene in my area is thriving, anon. lots of people hosting and playing at open mics, lots of bands and singer/songwriter musicians just having fun.

>>512990410
I actually kinda liked it, reminded me of the minimalistic soundtrack from The Year Of Living Dangerously. But nobody films good movies anymore either, so there's almost no place for this kind of music either.

>>512989466
blaming millenials is cringe since they were never in any power, it was boomers deciding what was on tv. And with your logic then zoomers are even worse. Zoomer 'artists' are 12 year old kids with face tattoos and a name like Lil Zesty or Juucy Swuurled

Judging generations by what the jews made popular at the time is retarded. The boomers only went to pink floyd concerts because it was "current thing" and they stopped as soon as a new thing came out. Most of us don't like the shit being pushed today but they won't let us have good music for the same reason they won't let us have a white nation

i like Popo
i really like it in the Popo if you catch my drift
you should really post more Popos Sergey Alexander Iwanowitsch

I play and sing. I went to a local free concert tonight. Left after three songs.
>took longer to park and city isn't big
>boomer reggae first song
>boomer bad Corey Stevens type original
>terrible attempt at a Neil young song
>all same key, boomer singer can't hit the neil young register and no harmonies anywhere
>competent playing but no soul, practiced but no gem under the polish
>crowd is impotent boomers clapping like polite seals at every 'solo' that goes nowhere
I played with a guy in his late 60s almost 20 years ago. However he was a retired 1% biker and had energy and was in shape. We practiced 20 hours a week and only had three people and harmony on everything, practiced staccato and little flowing boomer easy listening. If we did 60s and 70s songs they were harder and usually acid music.

>>512990641
thanks bro. yeah there's not really a good place for my music. maybe an indie video game or something, but its way too cliche to pretend to write music for an indie video game that doesn't exist.

>>512989466
I can remember the exact weeks albums came out in the 2000s. They quit putting out music and started pumping out politics heavily. Music has always had political tint but it was a clearly concerted effort to try to remake the 60s counter culture. Only problem was the drugs were ecstasy and meth.

>>512990670
>won't let us have a white nation
I agree.
I'm seeing some changes so maybe with a little luck White America will return along with some good White people music.
And it is White Boy Summer!

We’re just in a lull - people are craving older styles all of a sudden too.

I blasted Rich Girl by Hall & Oates driving by a line for a K-Pop concert in Denver and people were freaking out and telling me how much they liked my music while I was stuck in traffic.

Weirdly I think Ska will make a small comeback too.

>>512991076
I sing a wide range every weekend at the karoke bar. Got young uns clapping for everything from old country outlaw stuff to king crimson or talking heads because I can sing. Lots of young people doing old big band stuff lately other than the current pop

>>512991076
I hate ska. Always did.

Eh, these guys were bad. Ive seen good ones too and i pretty much always get compliments later from people when I do karoke.

>>512991050
Is that you playing the instruments? Pretty powerful and groovy

my neighbors are constantly blasting nigger music through the walls of the shitty apartment I live in, except for one morning it sounded different and I realized it was "simple man" by lynyrd skynyrd. I don't know music theory but it's amazing how different the sound is even when you can only hear parts of it through a wall.

>>512989466
'Music' 2025 is just background for apps / while humans are interacting with screen devices.
the music (as a piece of art /creation) itself has zero meaning.
As partly discussed the reason why 'pop music' or popular music, became a thing in the 20th century was (partly yes because of mass communication networks/technology of that time radio, vinyl records etc.) because these musics *reflected* and embodied something of human culture, and the human communities/cultures that produced these music art pieces.

That's no longer the case. Sure you see a busking musician playing an instrument here and there publicly, and live bands (all genres) still exist, but none of them reflect any sort of currently-existing culture or style of music from a community: it's all a postmodern / post-historical stew of whatever grab-bag styles that musician/group has affinity for. All of what they play is from the past, from past-produced musical art. In that sense 'music' today is truly and totally postmodern.

Jazz music—a tiny, microinfintesimally small community of listeners and creators/musicians as it has always remained since the post-WWII era—still exists and survives in its barely-visible way as it always has, since improvisation and the creative discovery and innovation within that is a central aspect of jazz. The 'new' and invention part of jazz music, is in the improvised performance itself no matter that you're playing a vintage standard tune that was composed in 1937. But outside of jazz (which as said is a tiny barely visible scene unless you deliberately seek it out), music today across the west is a postmodern museum display.

>>512991400
pretty good actually, sort of shoegazey in a Godspeed you black emperor sort of way, which is a style I like. however why did you leave the metronome on for the intro? it breaks the suspension of disbelief (or whatever the musical equivalent is) a little bit

It's because you mostly only get the bass and bass drums. Things normally too low to hear but reverbating through the material too. When I lived in the ghetto I used Johnny rebel on constant repeat. Kept them away.

There's heaps of live music here. Big concerts are dying out because boomer singers vanished up their own asshole and charge three grand a ticket for the nosebleeds. Fuck 'em though.

>>512988876 (OP)
There's plenty of live music and real musicians. At least where I live anyway. I'm in a couple of bands and I know several people. There's no money or fame in it of course unlike say the 80s but that's the main difference.

Has anyone noticed women don't sing to their babies anymore? I one time I lullabied my kid and the wife looked at me like I was from Mars. She has never done it once.

>>512992240
>There's no money or fame in it of course unlike say the 80s but that's the main difference.

there wasn't really any money or fame in it back then either. you had a select few bands that "made it" and got signed by a big label, and then there was everyone else that scraped by in obscurity. I'd argue it was even worse back then because you had no real way to publish your music yourself, you NEEDED a record label to finance you printing the vinyls, putting it on store shelves, etc.

>>512991841
what is it about nigger music that makes it sound so degenerate even though all you can hear is a wump wump sound? why doesn't older nigger music like miles davis or bb king have that quality?

>>512991801
Oh shit yea it's kind of a demo. Btw do you post on /mu/? I feel like I've heard ur stuff before.


>>512991809
Just guitar and """bass""" (which is secretly my guitar turned down 12 semitones). Drums are programmed.


Wish I had a singer

>>512992439
Yeah fair. But at least there was like a longshot back then. There's no way to do it now.

I'm learning guitar but I don't really care about composing or performing at all

>>512992588
Hip hop ruined nigger music forever. Blacks honestly punched way above their weight in music during the 20th century. There are a ton of influential black players that you can find from those days. The problem is that they mostly influenced white guys that actually understood the music. Successive generations of blacks got less and less musical and eventually it got to the point where they only look up to rappers have no idea about any black players in jazz, funk, etc.

>>512992588
It had people actually playing instruments with soul. Digital recordings and playback have very harsh clipped sound waves too. Analog master, and digital mix and end format recordings sound the worst. Very tinny highs and booming bass. CDs had a three letter binary AD guide on the back. Master,mix,playback format. Obviously every cd ends in D. Add recordings are shit. Aad was how to preserve old music.

>>512992687
Just learn some songs good for singing with friends around a fire then. Folk or country type. Simply playing and vocal and fun

>>512993075
I would say a few rappers understood it, but knew they couldn't play it and sample it. GZA and RZA for example. I find them creative, but it's not the same as playing.

Nirvana is shit.
The Beetles were just another boy band and stole their sound from The Beach Boys.
Tupac is garbage same with all rap music.

live music used to be an intimate thing but now they sell tickets where the performers will look like ants, meanwhile, ti's too loud at front It's also a matter of time before local residents disturbed by the noise pulls a Joker

Music is also dying because those that could have become musicians anymore don't have houses, time, money for instruments, since wealth divide increased.

Singing is overrated. You can sound like a pissed off wombat and still make better music than modern pop.

Music is a luxury. Here, we had community musicals, operas, etc. But the compensation is just insulting. When normal jobs don't pay enough, you can't dedicate a month of work and a dozen performances for $50. Live music is dead. It never even began to recover since covid.

>>512992075
>MGMT
Man I saw them at a free show at an open air mall back in the day, juust before they started to get play on the radio. Drove all the way across Phoenix in my friends Geo Tracker, me and the boys burning through a couple tree-trunk sized Mexican brick weed joints on the way, and we got there just in time for the show to start. I had no idea who we were there to see or what kind of music they played, but man when we got there, eveything was great. The music, the mood, the atmosphere, everything was magical. Crowd was mostly driving aged highschoolers like us and young college aged kids, just grooving on the sound these guys were laying down in the courtyard of the mall.

Easilly one of the best concert experiences I ever had desu, and going to shows was all I did in my free time back then.

I'm so glad I got to experience things like this before everything went to shit.

That's because it is now. Music in the sense of appreciating the art is dead. Yes, there is trending tiktok songs people blast in their car, but they just like the bass and the feel-good lyrics.
Nobody cares about which artist put their blood sweat and tears into anything anymore though, it's all desperate attempts to reach stardom now.

hipsters took over my town and bought all the venues and i play soundtrack and rock'n'roll music and they all hate me here, and play lgbt music and songs that try to preach to people to be and think more like them
i pissed lots of people off around here but they're all gay and cringey trustfund faggots. i hate them

people in the 70s and 80s were in love with quality speaker set ups, and in the 90s they wer elike that with in car speakers.

2000s indie music could thrive and the shows were fun as hell. experimental or amp driven rock.
even the now faggy label Epitaph had tolerable music then it sifted to commie worship antifa trash.
local shows had people who turned up.
its new age culty gatekeepers where i live now though and they have dead eye stares and are such cunts about anyone new being around. they all really fucking suck

>>512992601
ditribituors kill small artists today by marking any large stream count as being "botted" even if it is not. so they can take any payment away, cancel distribution and keep any small or new band from creating an influence and have a lockhold on who gets to influence the public and what kind of fashion or mindset the public is instilled with.
there isnt a distributor that works with spotify that doesnt do this. spotify sends a complaint and has the distributor remove the album.
tons of smaller bands get these false claims and the musician gets fucked.
cd burning and handing out physical copies was way better than streaming for fanfare and supporting musicians

>>513003608
There's no hope with streaming indeed. Musicians basically have to be traveling t-shirt salesmans these days. I don't expect anything financially. I'm just happy to cover the gas bill.

wide open passaround holes run all the open mics across the country now and if you outdo them with songwriting they gather their orbiters and lesbian riot whining hole friends together and try to fuck up your life. i tried to interact with those types and while they sang about coffee and tea and shit i played my original songs and all the times i kept coming back they kept fucking up the audio for my playing and being weird as hell to me. i wasnt even trying o compete with them and wanted a place to go and feel better to play songs but realized what "gaslighting" was.
