06/10/09(Wed)16:53 No.4071127/mu/'s opinion on women:
Women
are simply more consultative beings than men are. For whatever reason,
they are more timid about making bold statements and deviating from
normalcy. They can't shop for clothes alone, they can't judge men
alone, and they can't even urinate alone. They support each other
through groupthink. Because of this, the average woman's musical taste
is more bland and typical. They don't want to be "on the outside".
"But
wait," you might say "not all girls listen to pop music exclusively."
This is correct. Some women do indeed venture outside of society's
musical comfort zone, but their reasons for doing so are rarely
musically-motivated. These women are simply looking for a scene or
subculture to wedge themselves into, using music as another fashion
tool. It's all about image. How many "artsy" girls do you know who
insist that their taste is "atypical", "unique", or "eclectic" who have
an iPod full of the same girl-friendly, Pitchfork-approved artists like
Radiohead, Sigur Ros, and the like? Quite a few, I'd wager. Women are
generally considered to have bad taste because they lack any true
interest in musical discovery.
Want further proof? How many girls do
you know who are into Noise? Who are into Krautrock? Rock in
Opposition? Classical avant-garde? Not many. This is because these
styles of music, while unique, cutting-edge, and extremely rewarding,
have no fashion culture built around them, and no cute boys who listen
to and perform these types of music. Music is another article of
clothing for women, and it makes basement-dwelling experts froth at the
mouth whenever females claim otherwise. |
