Always wondered why I keep coming back to their stuff despite it being seemingly retarded meme dad music, and really it’s because it’s how pop/dance music should naturally sound in 2012-present. It also has a lot of genuine heart among the meme-y autism.

The music really makes me reflect on how backwards our approach to production is now. Why do we fight so hard in a DAW to not make it sound like a DAW? Why is ‘digital’ bad and not a sonic aesthetic in itself? Why do we constantly recycle the sounds of 80s/90s hardware? At first I though AG Cook was just an autist making fruity loops stuff but just could afford to get it mixed and mastered by pros because he’s a rich kid but he’s actually the contemporary Trevor Horn and Warhol in one.

>not a sonic aesthetic in itself?
it has been for decades wtf are you talking about

yes i agree that the obsession with trying to recreate "real" aesthetics through digital means is kind of dumb though.
Like I understand it's people chasing a sound they want through a budget but a lot of that is them being convinced by marketing and shit that that sound is inherently better than sounding "digital"

Somewhere along the line "artists" stopped embracing what technology could potentially do and started caring more about what became*convenient* to do.

>it has been for decades wtf are you talking about
I mean that in a sense that every digital innovation in music has tried so hard to be “analog” or “analog modelled”. Nobody has ever really embraced digital except maybe when the DX7 came out in 1984, even then there was so much stigma to it. Personally I like the sound of analog instruments but to think it’s superior to modern digital is a load of wank. And “limitation breeds creativity” is just fucking nonsense.

>>121454536
>DX7
I mean, there are shit loads of examples that popped off in the vst world, idk how you can just gloss over autotune like that lmao.
The instrument market as a whole though is definitely plagued by that kind of bullshit though, I agree.

Trash, dead-end culture with no obvious pathways to recovery.

Look at all those girls; look how scantily clad these hoes are, and how mainstream it is to present this way. Look at the white women with negress braids and fishnet stocking "dresses" that reveal everything to everyone. Disgusting. That's a concert hall full of hedonists, negro worshippers and fetishizers. It's heartbreaking af to see desu

and inb4 some twat tells me it's a concert and i should just chill out and people fought in the past blah blah blah.. that's not the point. The point is about what these isolated incidents say about the broader culture in the western world. If you can't take a moment and connect a brain cells to think that widely then that's a you problem. Shit like in the OPs webm is embarrassing as fuck

"A letter written by Tupac Shakur during his time in prison explains that the late legend dumped pop icon Madonna because she's white.
"For you to be seen with a black man wouldn't in any way jeopardize your career, if anything it would make you seem that much more open and exciting. But for me, at least in my previous perception, I felt due to my 'image' I would be letting down half of the people who made me what I thought I was," he wrote. "I never meant to hurt you."
Still, Shakur indicated that their relationship had had its ups and downs.
"An interview where you said 'I'm off to rehabilitate all the rappers & basketball players' or something to that effect ... cut me deep," he added. "I had never known you to be with any rapper besides myself."
The letter ends with the words, "I don't know how you feel about visiting me but if you could find it in your heart I would love to speak face to face with you.""
