MUSIC SUCKS.

Stopped reading there.

2/10

I know it's trolling, but what image would Ambient be associated with? Dressing like Brian Eno back when he was in Roxy Music?

gb2/a/.

>>4940701
Appearing "deep" or "intellectual". I don't mean all kinds of ambient music, since I think New Age and meditation music serves a purpose, but most electronic-type ambient music and Brian Eno's shit is just for "intellectuals". Minimalist classical music is complete beard-stroking garbage too.

>modern rock in any form

Might as well just ditch with the genre listing and go straight to:
>any music ever created is donkey balls

If you enjoyed the music you listened to, you wouldn't be posting this. -1/10.

>>4940725
I'm sorry, not everybody buys into the "rock" image or even listens to 99% rock music like a fucking redneck.

>...genres of pop music
>"indie"
>using indie to describe a genre of music instead of the type of label a group is on
>greentext

>>4940754
I didn't say it was a specific genre of music, I said anything associated with "indie". Only certain types of labels and artists, even among independent labels and artists, describe themselves as "indie".

>Music which is less popular in /mu/: JPop, disco, house, garage rock, soul, R&B, funk, New Age, electro, freestyle, afrobeat, afropop, trance, soul jazz, hard bop, corporate pop

>Music which is more popular in /mu/: AOR, prog, metal, post-1985 hip hop, modern rock in any form, punk, hardcore, anything associated with "indie", free jazz, bebop, "ambient", "experimental", "avant-garde", post-rock, dnb

Fixed that for ya, OP. You can thank me later.

Too bad everything concieved musically is influenced by The Beatles, and yes, that includes all the stuff you like. Your argument is invalid.

>>4940771
Of course it is more popular in /mu/. Most of those genres appeal to "authenticity", something that "music fans" (ie, kids who don't listen to what's on the radio) crave. The fact is that none of you have actually considered the implications of the genres, or the absolute hypocrisy in any of them claiming "authenticity".

fuck me, you are one dumb cunt, aren't you?

OH
CRAZY SHRINE GIRL
YAY
UNBELIEVABLE

>>4940739
It wasn't even the fact you said rock, it was the fact that you use words and phrases like "in any form" and "anything associated with".

You dismiss entire sub-sections of music with the wave of a hand. The fact is, it seems like your only argument that's being presented is that the music is shit, because you attached the people that listen to said music for so-called "ungenuine" reasons and that's what makes it "trash".

So, what if something you listen to becomes a trend that people catch on to? What then?

You left out some. What of post-punk? I assume on the second list is where it would be.

If so, fuck you.
If not, fuck you.

>Honest, authentic, listenable genres of pop music: JPop, disco, house, garage rock, soul, R&B, funk, New Age, electro, freestyle, afrobeat, afropop, trance, soul jazz, hard bop, corporate pop

dont be confusing pop music and popular music son.

>Shitty Genres of pop music:.....Metal....
>Metal
>Genre of Pop

The music expert has spoken.

>>4940852
No, post-punk is actually on the first list, to an extent. Post-hardcore is on the second though.

>>4940588
>JPop

Surely you mean Kpop, you gigantic faggot.

>>4940832
>>4940814

That's what I thought.

>>4940859
Pop =/= Popular
And this is a troll. Anyone who suggests JPop to be an authentic, listenable genre is trolling.

>>4940870
probably thinks metal should be categorized as a type of classical music

:| thank you, good sir. >>4940643

>>4940851
What are you talking about? I don't care if any of the music I like becomes a "trend", it already has in many instances. I don't like new garage rock or Animal Collective afrobeat either.

I don't think they listen to it for ungenuine reasons, since there is no "genuine" aspect to music at all. The sad fact is that the music they like isn't functional in any capacity, which is true of all "modern rock", so they only listen to it for an image which is most likely racist or co-opted or false. And then they actually believe themselves to be "music fans" who are in it "for the music" as if there is some actual, objective good or bad quality to tones of sound.

sure is 'tryin too hard' in here.

>>4940588

Sounds like someone's butthurt about only having the same musical tastes as the only sweaty nerdo group that will talk to him/her.

Just throwing that out there.

>>4940903
I meant "popular". "Pop music" changes definition so much with the time that I thought it was fine.

>>4940947
I hardly ever talk to people about music because hardly anybody I know likes dance music and they all listen to things for stupid reasons.

>Honest, authentic, listenable genres of pop music:
>garage rock
>Shitty, image-obsessed, useless, possibly racist/classist/elitist genres of pop music:
>modern rock in any form
I think you just ripped a hole in space, OP.

>>4940930

Are you trying to tell us that JPop is NOT a trend? That shit is for teenagers with no life, and is quickly outgrown.

>>4940971
JPop is very explicitly corporate and focuses on rhythm and catchy riffs, hence I don't find it hypocritical or image-conscious. Nobody listens to JPop to be "different".

>>4940969
I meant real garage rock, not The White Stripes or whatever.

>>4940971
True dat.

I fucken loled at 'Corporate Pop' being an 'authentic, listenable genre'. Clearly, OP doesn't know shit about music.

>>4940992

uh you do.

>>4941001
But real garage rock is still modern rock.

>>4940930
The point I was trying to make was that you were slamming on the second grouping purely based on people. Thus, if the same was true for the similar kinds of music you listen to yourself - does that then devalue the first listing?

Do you honestly think people, in their own homes, with no one around listen to music to satisfy a need to project an image?

tl;dr, this entire thread is bullshit, but we already know that.

>>4940903
You haven't listened to much J-pop have you? There's tons of j-pop which is just like regular music but just in Japanese.

>>4940992
uh you do. and your different in the sense that youre a FAGGOT!!!!

HIGH FIVE, BROS!

>>4941010
How is not authentic? It is mass-marketed and over-produced and doesn't try to hide it. "Indie" rock made by rich trust fund kids with connections and ripping off black musicians, that people enjoy because they believe it to be "authentic", is what's truly shit.

>>4941032
OK, I meant like post-65 rock music. I'm not great with genres but I can clarify anything in OP if people need me to.

>>4941033
Of course they don't, but they listen to it in their homes because the music gives them a false feeling of "authenticity" or "rock and roll" which is unfounded shit. I am trying to show people that they only enjoy music based on cultural connections which mean nothing. Then you can actually think critically about what it means to be "authentic" and "functional" musically, and what genres of music are selling you a fictitious image built on elitism.

>>4941027
No I don't. I'm not sure what you think is so "different" about disco or corporate pop music. I also never claimed to listen to all of the music in the first list.

>>4941049
showing how much you care about "authenticity" or "genuine music" only shows how big of an asshole you are. get out, get off 4chan, and go kill your self. you arent cool by listening to music that is has no "image".

>>4941049

Yep, Metric sure isn't one of the greatest, most original bands out there because it's, technically, 'INDIE.'

As opposed to what? JSuck? The whole point of that clusterfuck was to copy North American culture. Now who's unoriginal?
