What is considered "good taste" in 2024?
How many of these do you think are trans?
>>122577709>What is considered "good taste"the stuff that i like
>>122577709>What is considered "good taste" in 2024?i guess something between entry level and obscure and avant garde. if you have the former taste you'll get called an NPC drone and if you have the latter you'll get called a pretentious avant tranny
>>122577745wrong. It's the stuff that I like
>>122577709Jesus christ I remember some of these annoying faggots. I am so glad namefagging is not a thing on 4chan anymore (though funny enough, I also do not frequent here anymore, and haven't for several years; I just so happen to pop by today to check out /mu/ for old time's sake).
>>122577800>I just so happen to pop by today to check out /mu/ for old time's sakecope. don't forget you're here forever
>>122577709The Velvet Underground,The Moody Blues,Jimi Hendrix,CAN,Amon Düül ii,Neu!,The Enfeilds,Small Faces,Quicksilver Messenger Service,The Pretty Things ,Cream,The Dovers,Love,DOM,Pearls before Swine,The Rising Storm,The Hollies,Truck,Nico,Witthüser and Westrup,Clives Original Band,The Grateful Dead,Jefferson Airplane
>>122577836>leaving for a long time but only occasionally coming back to see how terrible this website is, then fucking off for another year or two, means I am here "forever"This shit's thrown around too much by your weirdos.
>>122577868kek fuck you asshole i was about to post nicofag-core here too
>>122577868Dork. Nobody cares about your classic prog shit. >>122577709>>122577800Funny, I haven't regularly browsed /mu/ in years and I decided to drop by today, too. Last time I did was probably around 2020, and then "good taste" was pretty much just scaruffi-core, or at least that's what I would've a common denominator for good taste over the poptimism and tranny music takeover. Patrish-core is still going to be the most obscure avant-garde shit you can find, regardless of whether or not you like it or even actually listen to it.
Phish>captcha PH4N
>MarcelsMusicJournalThat brought back some bad memories
>>122578463Back when fantano had some sense of taste. Still pleb but not a poptimist shill.
>>122577709Nirvana, Metallica, and Charli XCX are the new /mu/core
La STPO

>>122577709Neutral Milk Hotel, Slint, Swans, Death Grips and Animal Collective are massively hated now
>>122580088Those are all good bands however
>>122578463They all suck. Here's my 3x2:>Loveless, Drum, and Wires, Sorry Ma,>Marquee Moon, & Nico, Daydream Nation
yfw you realized all the music /mu/ circle jerked to in 2012 was actually terrible
>>122578381I distinctly remember him having a Bandcamp page where one of his tracks was just an OPN one from R Plus Seven.
/mu/ has diversified since, the only good taste is your own taste and not trying to conform to whatever you think /mu/ likes
>>122577800Even back then I didn't even take note of their names. I only recognize a couple of those names and Ive been here for 15 years
>>122577709RadioheadPanteraSLAYERJoy divisionHootie and the blowfishBam margerahoobastanknickelbackSLAYERDying fetusGang of fourSum 41Charli xcx
>>122577800Wow me too anon. I haven't browsed this board in years but every day or so I come back here just to check up on how everything is
>>122579884good. working out often still, playing and being above average at smash ultimate with my cloudis there anyone you think you could contact who might be of better assistance? think about it for a moment if you have to. any of the old /mu/ dudes from the mid-2010s. i'm looking for either PTP or BTN specifically, i've bought seedboxes before and don't mind doing so again as a means of ranking up over the course of years.man to man, i would royally appreciate this.
>>122579764did you ever end your communist phase?
>>122581578no. across the political spectrum, i've yet to find anything that makes more sense to me than dialectical materialism and marxian analysis on history, social conflict, etc. in general.
>>122579813>>122581356Holy shit that cat's still kicking?
>>122577709>What is considered "good taste" in 2024?kpop and whatever the newest rap genre is.
>>122581666very appropriate get
>>122581666>dialectical materialismDefine this
>>122582311It's just a fancy word for marxism, basically.
>>122582663>marxismDefine this
>>122582680This can be either a pronoun, determiner, or adverb used to identify a specific person or thing close at hand or being indicated or experienced, referring to a specific thing or situation just mentioned, or to the degree or extent indicated.
>>122581666>666checks out. Hegel and Marx are queers.
>>122577956>The Velvet Underground>Jefferson Airplane>Cream>Nico>prog
i haven't been browsing /mu/ regularly since 2014, until a few weeks ago, now i'm here regularly to watch the Nico Sperg meltdowns
>>122578463whats the green album on the turntablist guy
>>122577709Many people here have shit taste. Others know very little, and are trying to build a better taste.Not all that many know all that much.The average acceptability of top 40 pop here is much higher now than 10-15 years ago. there is no consensus on good taste, nothing close to it.you don't get the impression here that these threads are typically created by an actual human who wants to make these threads. perhaps someone at 4 chan who doesn't want the board to die. Or maybe we're seeing the effect of the vaccine on everyone. Not all. Got to see a new Brat thread every day for a week. Definitely felt paid for by the record label. Occasionally people say things that are better than lowmid, but generally not. Somebody likes John Fruciante of RHCP a lot, is passionate about it.
>>122577709Who would enter the list by today? I don't know anything about rym influential people
>>122580511no, music was better then than now. the people here are worse.
>>122577709>What is considered "good taste" in 2024?That's easy>Anything foreign=you lack the cultural context and fluency necessary to have good taste in foreign music. You are limited to western music>Western music from the middle ages to the Renaissance: 10/10>Western music through the baroque: 10/10>Western music through the classical: 80% good 20% slop. 8/10>Western music through the romantic: half incredibly good half total slop. 5/10>Ragtime period: 7/10>Early blues and Dixieland era: mind-numbingly simple but still a unique vibe. 5/10>War era: literally nothing but Hollywood war propaganda songs on the radio. Complete shit except for a few crooner standards. 3/10>1950s: excellent developments in jazz, Chicago blues, and folk music transforming into country, rock is still finding itself, absolute dogshit pop music. 7/10>1960s: jazz is now academic slop, rock is now at its peak with countless innovations that would affect every genre that followed, pop and soul music are now at their height of complexity and intrigue. 8/10>1970s: pop music changes into incredibly good neo-soul and funk, with acts like Stevie Wonder and Earth, Wind, and Fire, but those are quickly replaced by disco, an unholy abomination that stripped away all the soul of their precursors. Rock is now becoming timeless early metal like Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith. Texas blues virtuosos are starting to break ground worldwide. 7/10>1980s: pop music begins its descent into mostly unlistenable slop that ages like milk, yet still has the most remembered and beloved hits of any decade. it influenced rock to begin experimenting with electronic instruments, leaving a legacy of the timeless Van Halen and Phil Collins. Reggae is making waves in America and Britain, with some incredible acts like Toots and the Maytals. 6/10
>>122584530>1990s: early hip hop and gangsta rap takes over the pop charts. Many were far more eloquent and insightful than who followed. punk rock becomes pop slop, metal diverges into timeless grunge and early death metal. electronic music can now be made by amateurs, and they're making shitty acid house. 4/10>2000s: rock and country are dead on sight as studios just can't make a return on the very expensive process of producing ensemble acts in the traditional way, so they begin switching to quantized and compressed performances that are effectively just techno with guitar sounds. pop music gets dramatically worse, but at least the pop stars are still hot. Bedroom producers innovate with new electronic genres such as dubstep. 2/10>2010s: complete cultural standstill where nobody innovates and everything gets worse and more degenerate. pop stars are now fat and ugly and niche skilled acts are now good looking. American dubstep, 80s-inspired synth wave, and 70s-inspired neo-neo-soul experience brief fads to break up the monotony. Future bass succeeds dubstep and introduces more complex harmony and traditional songwriting as the new priority, making it somewhat innovative. 2/10
>>122584536>2020s: Tiktok allows savants with niche skills to get 15 minutes of fame, allowing acts like Laufey to get zoomer audiences singing swung 16th lines for the first time. these short-lived stars all eclipse the record label stars in their short careers. Willow Smith, child star of 2011's token abomination I Whip My Hair is now a very talented and brooding artist of the current generation, showing a trend toward a priority of skill and authenticity rather than marketability. Mainstream acts are increasingly fat, ugly, and crude for the worst pop decade yet. Rap too is going through the sad, slow death of rock music. AI slop begins threatening the entire world of recorded music with its increasing realism and utter emptiness. Country music experiences a brief grunge-esque moment with the success of gritty and raw independent acts with strong musicianship and intelligent songwriting from the likes of Colter Wall and Tyler Childers. 4/10If your taste in music spans to a time well before you were born and shows a preference for moments in each genre's lifetime where it contributed the most to music as a whole, and was written in an authentic and skilled way, then your taste is good.
>>122584443there was a recent golden age of black metal for anyone who gives a shit. There's great shit out there and everyone just pines for a decade ago when they were listening to weezer and drinking box wine
>>122583984I didn't say it was all prog faggot
>>122577709Still listening to /mu/core while disregarding any music made by gen z since its inherently terrible and devoid of art.
>>122587673there's like 1 actual prog band in that list (The Moody Blues, MAYBE Amon Duul II but thats more Psych then Prog), it's mostly Psychedelic Rock and some Krautrock, maybe you could call Pearls Before Swine Prog Folk
>>122589421krautrock is prog. I also group faggy jambands like grateful dead in w/ prog. Regardless, what i'm getting at is that it's all nerdy, insignificant, born in the wrong generation tripe. The only notable artists on that list are TVU, Nico, and Jimi Hendrix. Maybe Amon Duul just for phallus dei.
>>122589541>krautrock is prognot really, it depends on the band, Krautrock isn't really a genre, you clearly have no idea of what you're talking about, you're probably like 16, i doubt you've listened to more than 1 minute of any of the bands you're talking about.
>>122578381>MarcelsMusicJournalfuck that faggot. he got several users banned by making fake screenshots and sending them to RYM staff. wouldn't be surprised if he trooned out
>>122581356why are you begging people for tracker invites
>>122589602>Krautrock isn't really a genreThen why even use the term, faggot? Most people would agree that krautrock is a subgenre of prog. >>122589602>you're probably like 16, i doubt you've listened to more than 1 minute of any of the bands you're talking about.you can tell yourself that if it makes you feel better. you're clearly insecure about it
>>122579836I haven't made a chart in years. This is from 2021.

>>122581666Why would you seize farms if you don’t know how to farm? Why would anyone work to feed the people that hate them?
>>122578463hurts me to say it but it's actually fantano here
>>122578690Don't forget AiC
>>122577709Weird feeling when you end up superseding your mentors. It's a feeling that's never sat well for me. Online or offline.
>>122589658because it's never been harder to get into PTP in particular. i'm not uploading 500 torrents to redacted to get in "officially". i'd rather be invited because i can demonstrate my passion for media history and preservation and know how to behave on trackers for years on end without talking to staff.
>>122592482*without talking to staff or getting into any sort of trouble whatsoeveri'm on RED, OPS and KG. if PTP is out of the question for u then i would also gladly accept a filelist invite.
>>122592412But you haven't superseded AntiWarhol, though.
