Without blacks, American music would still sound like "Yankee Doodle"
>>18049824Black culture is a mostly Southern Scots Irish bullshit with some African flair.
Is this the thread where we pretend American music didn't influence the entire world's modern musical genres?
>>18049824>Without blacks, American music would still sound like "Yankee Doodle"The whole premise of your thread rest on the assumption that this is bad, and that pop-culture had been a positive development for the world.
>>18049845I know damn well you don't sit there listening to that kind of music every day.
>>18049845t.Yankee Doodle Dandee
>>18049853I don't believe in constantly listening to music. I wouldn't consider music haram like some muslims do, but I'm closer to them than to the modern cultural landscape. I believe over-stimulation has been a disaster for the human psyche
>>18049861What a fag
>>18049867Pop-culture is black and faggy.
>>18049824Yet, if it came just from blacks it would sound like African music. In fact it came from a blending of cultural influences.
>>18049853>yo dawg I'z a thick lip jigaboo nigganog and i rape dem kidz like drake, p diddy and epstein y'all, ah sho iz a tough hardco' gangstacringeI'd rather listen to this.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4ze_OB1I5kI'd as sure give up authentic street tacos as I would nigga beats to go back to a time America was white and wholesome. Imagine destroying your civilization over frivolities.
>>18049915It was never actually that way, you fucking dimwit.
>>18049824This retarded proclamation denies the full heritage of American institutions, not just encompassing Africa but New England, Dixie, Cajun/Creole culture, and Mexican/Spanish influence. Not to mention French and Dutch influences. While America is not the melting pot outsiders claim it is, since most of the early union had a significant New England ruling class, the idea that the entirety of America is simply just black is historical illiteracy at it worst.
>>18049861I am quite the opposite and think Islam has poor aesthetic judgement brought on by generations of inbreeding.
>>18049853maybe if you think all music made after 1950 is that
>the pinnacle of black music is improvisational ballads yeah you TOTALLY made that
>>18049824ebola said this o algo
American music is German Jews actually. Armstrong's most famous songs >Dream a Little Dream of MeWilbur Schwan>What a Wonderful WorldBob Thiele>Mack the KnifeKurt Weil>A Kiss to Build a Dream onBurt Kalmar, Harry Ruby, Oscar Hammerstein
>>18049824I have no trouble admitting it. OP is 100% right this time.
>>18049824>Why can't people admit that American culture is black?
It's a hilariously limited view to say it's just black. American culture is so unbelievably diverse that you can experience two completely different worlds within a relatively small distance. NOVA and Baltimore are planets apart culturally despite being a brief drive away from each other
>>18050495People like OP just suffer from Old World Brain, they struggle comprehending the idea where race and culture are divorced from one-another, hence why they'll either come to some insane generalization like "American Culture is black" because blacks are highly represented in American culture even if it's derived from urban and southern folk cultures, or they'll conclude that America has no culture at all. Trying to describe American culture to a European is like trying to describe the color blue to a blind person. They'll never understand.
>>18050495lol if you take a boat 10 miles across the bay from Baltimore you'll land in a little 90% white redneck resort town where people don't lock their cars. Drive another 10 miles northwest and you're in a colonial era college town that's sees the beach town as backwards. From there a 20 minute drive will get you to another little town that's part of a separate cultural sphere. That's just the least populated region of one of the smallest states. t. live in that region
>>18050513But even without that it is hilariously narrow. Imagine saying that all of German culture can be summed up by Berlin's culture. Culture is just more complicated than that.>>18050543I guess culture is just a big city, big media thing when you're describing some place that you've never been to and don't really understand
Culture is a not gusic, moobies, and bideogaysThese are products of culture. If blacks are such excellent culture makers why isnt Effrika the cultural center of the planet yet?
>>18049824Black music has gone from Nat King Cole and Louis Armstrong to gansta rap
>>18050725Jazz music is still pretty popular. So are rock and R&B.
>>18049939Nothing wrong with improv. It's just another way to write or perform.
>>18050776In the black community? Who are you fooling?
>>18050799>let me tell you about black peopleNo. I don't trust you.
>>18049824>Why can't people admit that American culture is black?Because it isn't.>Without blacks, American music would still sound like "Yankee Doodle"Wrong.
>>18050576Berlin culture, Hamburg culture, Frankfurt culture, etc, are all still ethnic German cultures so not exactly dismissing his point.
>>18051111My point still stands, because my point was that Berlin culture defined ALL German culture, and was not simply part of it.
>>18049824More like it'd sound like British folk music or European classical music
>>18050799Jazz music is very much alive. Same with blues and R&B
>>18049825No not really>>18050401>his most famous songs>post none of them>>18050725>>18050799Are you saying R&B isn’t popular in the black community when all the highest selling black artist are R&B? Also jazz is massively influential the music to this day hell jazz rap defined newyork hip hop, and artist like kendrick had a whole jazz rap album>>18051720He gets his understanding of the world from /pol/.
I find it hilarious when chuds ignore the fact that AAVE heavily influenced slang, speech rhythms, and lyrical flow in popular culture, and of course rap and hip hop.
>>18052266Again, that's only an own when you assume pop-culture is good
>>18052308Its not about good or bad though, but about how present it is in your culture.Like, are not "based" and "woke" initially black terms?
>>18052366Culture is something you identify with.
>>18050725Lol this nigger still thinks it's 1991.
>>18049824I didn't realize blacks invented musical instruments and theory.Without whites, American music would be just drums and chanting.
>>18052407These people pretty much say "Led Zeppelin should pay royalties to black people"
>>18052407Music theory in the academic sense is constructed after the fact to describe existing innovations in music. Unless you're talking about avant-garde music
>>18052407>muh whitesWe're talking about America. Europeans invented modern music theory and instruments, not Americans.
>>18052308Pop culture just exists. It's not necessarily good or bad.
>>18049824Repeat after me, Anon. Blacks have never contributed anything worthwhile to the United States except slave labor and endless bitching. The endless bitching isn't really worthwhile but we let women get away with it so we might as well let the subhumans get away with it too.As usual, OP is a faggot.
