I am legitimately upset at the state of this board. What the fuck happened to all the people who were actually passionate about music?
>>124439747I am actually passionate about Chappell Roan's music, but that is probably not the answer you were looking for, faggot
>>124439747they got old and the zoomers who replaced them are retards like >>124439799
>>124439799The irony of you using the word faggot here when the point of pop has never been the music and most of the men listening to it are gay is astounding.
When I was young I thought my capacity to enjoy music was infinite but now I'm old and it turns out it's very limited
>>124439910faggot
>>124439747Music became more of a personality trait than ever before with social media and the assimilation of "clout". It was always a status symbol, but now its intensified by social media. And paired with the fact that listening to music is easier than ever, it just became a consumer product. As for the board population, 4chan is just as susceptible to mainstreamization as any site, sadly. So people are gonna flock over to le deep web site that's so edgy and unfiltered. Just as they listen to x artist because its trendy, they come to discuss it on /mu/ because its "cool".
>>124439747Contribute to the Pokkou thread
>>124439890I like her music as well anon (yes...this a repost. I made a typo on the original that in no reflected my intention)
>>124439931You've never seen a woman naked have you?
>>124440018someone's got a leaky bussy today
Might as well just not post anything and let the board be exclusively kpop threads. Look how cooked the catalog is.
>>124439983This, zoomers and this stupid website delving into mainstream politics ruined the place beyond repair. The /mu/core is all over TikTok and it's not 2010 anymore.
>>124440118It can't be saved I think. Not without 90 day bans for schizophrenic rants and off topic threads.>>124440192> politicsyeah
>>124439747I still lurk, but i don't post much about what I'm listening to. No one's interested. Of course shitposting abounds here, but I also miss the healthy counterbalance of music lovers.
>>124439747im passionate about grimes and thats about all i really want from life
>>124440106You believing this happened has more to do with your abject mental Retardation and lack of ability to regulate emotions. That's probably why you're retarded enough for the "music" discussed on here aswell though.
>>124440009Faggot.
Hey at least we've got>A dozen dead kpop threads littering the catalogue like abandoned festering corpses>An additional one for one specific kpop group for some reason>A bunch of incestuous other generals that are just their own little isolated self-fellating communities>A namefag that's so caustic he goes into threads for bands he admits he doesn't even listen to just to cause shit>People shitting on every band that /mu/ used to like just to be heckin ebinSo it's not all bad, /mu/'s better than it's ever been!
>>124440424Imagine being so mentally challenged that you openly admit to liking Beefheart and Dreamtheater.
>>124440440I hate both of those bands thoughbeit.
>>124440424NMH and MBV do suck though
>>124440456Fair enough. I guess you can agree with the message but not like me personally.
>>124440467MBV is decent. They're in The Byrds category of Historical importance but the bands they inspired were better than them type of thing. Couple good songs.
>>124439747I’m still here I just lurk until I see the occasional interesting post to respond to
>>124439747Stupid fucking incel zoomers ruined it
>>124440424>>An additional one for one specific kpop group for some reasonI legitimately don't understand why the IVE threads are being allowed, they're not even like a particularly notable group. Fucking weird.
>>124440106>Nico bussy was already two months agoholy fuck does time fly
>>124440543You're mentally retarded and have no concept of reality so you chose to believe this in order to feel less suicidal about having never had a job,friends,girlfriend,or social life. This tells me that you're at risk for suicide and literally nothing else. Literally just tard rage.
>>124440555Nico sperg, why do you throw rocks in glass houses, sure anyone can see some of fellow 4channers can be pathetic, but please don’t act like aren’t as objectively cringe or worse even then they are.
>>124439747KPOP
this board died when the sharethreads died, people stopped listening to the same stuff, or at least being aware what it sounded like, its all faggot zoomer garbage now, talent-less hacks pushed by the algorithm, in my day it was talent-less hacks pushed by kikes, but some of those yids at least had a good ear.
>>124439910Can't even guess at your culture or country.
If no one else will make mu better, than I will.
>TFW you can't have a Beatles thread up without boyband fag ruining it.I get he only does one or two posts, but still, it's obnoxious.
>>124440724I don't get why you guys let those posters get under your skin. The Radiohead guy is similar. Compared to the fucking Byron Wilson poster they're fucking nothing, at least they don't spam their own threads or even spam at all.
>>124440757Even if you ignore them, they still post tho. That's the issue.
>>124440424It really is that simple isn’t it
>>124440757Even if you're not bothered by it, you gotta admit repeating the same thing over and over is some form of autism.
>>124440325That would be a start. This board lacks competent moderation, the janny rules over their kpop fiefdom and basically ignores the rest of the board. This is also why the Kpop general is overwhelming the catalog and the Ive threads exist. If you want a better board we need better janitors
>>124440584I'm just stating the obvious. You believing this happened to begin with says you have issues with reality and are kinda generally unable to judge anything. It's a good sign you shouldn't be speaking at all desu. But that makes sense since you don't have the common sense to lie about liking Zappa I guess.
>>124440772Yeah but it's like 1 post per thread, MAYBE two at worst if the boyband guy is really at it. Just ignore them, they're ridiculously easy to ignore. If they were shitting up the threads in totality that'd be different but as it stands it's just, whatever.
>>124440820You underestimate how autistic these faggots are.
>>124440584>objectively cringe even or worse>some retard with cum stained Zappa t shirt saying this as if he's ever had a social life to begin with
>>124440800> you gotta admit repeating the same thing over and over is some form of autism.Seems like it yea>>124440018>>124440440>>124440555
>>124440829No I don't, they post once per thread or sometimes twice with the boyband sperg. That's it. That's literally it. You're working yourself up over nothing. They're so easy to ignore I don't even really register them at this point.
>>124440836Am I wrong though? The type of guys who listen to Beefheart tend to not exactly be the best or brightest. Same thing with Dreamtheater. It's like the most obvious form of cope ever recorded and literally nobody else but epic fedora high iq gamer big boys enjoying them which yk they're pretending to,nobody actually enjoys something that stunted or unnatural.
>>124439890Second post best post. For all of their many flaws, millennials were at least sincere/serious about music as an artform, but most aged out of using this site & board, & the zoomzooms who replaced them are all tasteless dopamine receptor-fried retards who view music as nothing but either a commodity or a expression of gayass identity politics
>>124440853> they post once per thread or sometimes twice >ctrl f Nico>12 posts out of 40 someYou are delusional if you can’t see this problem
>>124440836pLike sometimes entry level psych fans but the people who are the MOST obsessed with Zappa and Dreamtheater tend to be abject retards. Pretty sure when people say prog is for neckbeards these are the bands they're talking about. All the cringiest and tackiest tropes in the genre.
>>124440877You lack self awareness and yea you are wrong
>>124439747the people passionate to actually discuss music unironically went to reddit. where though exactly I don't know because i dont use that site. probably shouldn't use this one either
>>124440889Music/music listening as a hobby has been pretty much exclusive to gay men for a while now
>>124440899I'm talking about the boyband sperg and Radiohead sperg. Nico's his own thing, not all autism is the same.
>>124440928Ok but nicosperg is far worse than all the other schizos combined
>>124440927get out of here you cum slurping faggot, gays are the minority everywhere, music included.
>>124440912I do not no. I am objectively correct. It is music for manchildren who still play with toys despite being 40. Nobody else thinks you're cool or sophisticated for pretending to like this crap. If you weren't completely and utterly retarded socially you would realize this. People read it as a sign you can't sit still long enough to listen to an actual song. You're an obeese retard quoting reddit shit at me trying to "give me a clue" when you've never had a "clue" in your entire life. Lay off the pop psychology lol. They literally all look like variations on Pic rel. Ironically the only people who would feel otherwise are white cis male boomer stoners from Europe who unironically are just assuming that Dreamtheater or Porcupine Tree are like CAN. It says you're low iq,don't have much to use to compensate,and are extremely insecure about it. Type Dreamtheater into YouTube,it's virtually only guys who look like this discussing them. That's because only retards and funko pops like them. You insisting otherwise is super deluded and shows how limited your scope is. The ways you assume people react to your forced interests in "90s Nu Prog" and "Mature Anime" are simply inaccurate. Sorry you had to learn this way.
>>124441087Only closeted gays get upset about the presence of homosexuals
>>124440912You saying I lack self awareness when it's basically exclusively fat retards who think music is le math because they can't process organic human emotion listening to it. I know 70s Prog was dorky too but it had charecter and charm. Dreamtheater is prettymuch a coping mechanism more than something anybody actually enjoys. It's like thinking Half Life 2 is a cornerstone of modern storytelling which tbf if you like Dreamtheater and openly admit to it I'm sure you also believe. Might as well just cut out the middle man and admit to being severely cognitively impaired on everything except trains and computer systems from the get go.
>>124441106>>124441155You prove my point. You aren’t aware of your own deficiencies and obviously spiraling out of control mental illness. Get the fuck out of here retard
>>124441208I really don't. I understand that'd a meme phrase you've been taught to repeat back because you're too retarded to have a conversation on your own though. By all means enlighten me more,because every Dreamtheater "Fan" I've met in real life looks like this aswell,it's prettymuch exclusively manchildren.
>>124441232get this guy outta here holy moly
>>124441208>Dreamtheeater Fan explaining everyone is retarded accept for them in a fit of rageClassic. So which one of these is you? Or are none of them basedjaks enough?
>>124439799>>124439910>>124439931>>124440421>>124440424>>124440601>>124440724>>124440829>>124441087L for homophobia
>>124441267go away
>>124441208>"You aren't aware of your own deficiencies">He can't deny that he's literally never been employed >Listens to Dreamtheater to try and appear le quirky and intelligent Morelike that you're painfully aware of how defficent and completely incapable you are and are deeply insecure and in denial about it. Really not saying much about me there. Dreamthester Fans tend to fit your profile of retard where they're convince everybody else is them and that they're the smart ones. Shits fucking classic by now. Yeah,CAN is better. If you were truly as intelelgent as you think you are you would realize this too but you're not.
>>124441286I wish I could shock you awake with the cold hard truth
>>124441252You could also just admit to being a massive retard instead of projecting your insecurities onto me. Fat retarded neckbeard who can't read a book and is in a "relationship" with his anime figurines is a pretty normal assessment of the dreamthester Fandom (it's a Fandom because it belongs next to Homestar Runner and Hasbin Hotel,same audiance same demographic).
I’m just trying to get this straight. If anyone expresses opinions ranging from but not limited to>I like X band>I don’t like Y band>I have a problem with your behaviourYou immediately start accusing them of being a 40 year old NEET virgin and a hundred other things. What is up with that?
>>124441308muh dreamtheater no one gives a fuck
>>124441297The cold hard truth is that you're a morbidly obeese retard with no job experience or life experience and you're trying to pin that on me in order to feel better about yourself. The truth is absolutely not that everyone thinks you're super smart in real life and all the gigachads with their knowledge Lamborghinis are riding around listening to Dreamtheater. You might as well tell people you only listen to The Super Mario Soundtrack or Bochi The Rock at this point. Sends about the same message and people view said music similarly.
Funny how this tard gets so pissed off about dream theater and beef heart and Zappa and anime and obese people and and and but he’s always the guy who brings it up. Funny how that works
>>124441330you are so fucking delusional
>>124441314You clearly do. Nice job trying to talk normal and sound le ebin badass though. You failed wildly and sounded like an archetypal angry manchild but sure. Totally normal people are definetrky listening to Dreamtheater en masse lol,that's why they literally all look like this. >>124441342
>>124441351didn’t read I think you’re an embarrassing waste of space and contribute nothing of value to this board
>>124441370I agree

>>124441497Kind of weird you're bringing up dog shit anon.
>>124439747I am passionate about the music of John Frusciante, the greatest guitarist of all time, and Alice in Chains, the greatest band of all time.
>>124439890/thread
>>124440381it's not your fault
>>124440106he opens up about his life one time and you guys bully him for it baka
Range ban Boston to save the board.
>>124439910Can we just fucking ban this guy
>>124442299namefagging should be bannedonly massive faggots like that one ever do it
>>124439747Fund posting killed fun posting.
>>124441738he needs to reissue smile from the streets you hold
>>124439983i think you're right. but honestly its mostly about captcha and the amount of laziness music listeners are on right now
>>124443458Yes but he likely never will.
>>124439747What drug is the Russian military on?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-SCahQzK6wMuscaria?
>>124439983This could be true. /mu/ is completely disinterested in bands that aren't established or currently have hype. Almost as if it wasn't actually about the music at all...
lol this became a namefag discussion thread>>124439983this anon gave the answer tho so I guess there's nothing more to discuss
>>124439747Bro, 4chan died in 2016, how have you not noticed? Only a few boards with irrelevant interests like /ck/, /an/, /co/ have posters who care about anything other than pop culture wars and political shit. Like mass media, online communities have become way smaller, I have a discord of a handful of people I met on here way back and that’s it. The internet is for culture war and advertising.
We grew up, you’re telling me you didn’t make it out? You don’t have a wife and children and a decent career? Oh nononono.
>>124441738>greatest guitarist of all time not in the greatest band of all time???
>What the fuck happened to all the people who were actually passionate about music?>>124440555>>124440584These fuckers stayed here and scared everyone else away
>>124448890Being the greatest band of all time isn't just about the guitar player. It's about how all of the band comes together. So if the other band members aren't pulling their weight, it's not the guitarist's fault.
>>124445143Why are you still here then?
Maybe they all went here:https://rateyourmusic.com/list/Zerrissenheit/art-from-now-on/
I went back to forums. They're populated by apolitical/moderate Gen X'ers and Boomers who don't give a shit about politics or current pop culture. I don't listen to current music anyways unless it's underground rock or metal so I'm not missing out on much. Every time I come back to this place out of curiosity, it just looks like a wasteland of brainrot.
>>124440440fake nico>>124440531Of all the things wrong with this board that is the most glaring. I wish every chinese band had their own thread to kill this board once and for all.
>>124450129What forums? Throw a brother a lifeline.
>>124450752Hey, this isn't a forum.But it's a lifeline.https://rateyourmusic.com/list/Zerrissenheit/art-from-now-on/
The out of touch userbase is the problem. >durrr I don't care about new music, I just want to have low-effort, repetitive discussion about 30 year old post-hardcore and 50-60 year old art rockYou contribute nothing. The poptimization of formerly indie-adjacent news sites is partially to blame, but it's more an issue of laziness. No one here even knows how to find music that is not spoonfed to them by some sort of cultural hivemind. So you end up with a board where the only new shit is mass-force-marketed pop and the old shit is stuff that everyone has already heard of from 15-65 years ago.
>>124450855>After the Apocalypse: A Review of Slint's Spiderland >“For adults [the fair] is a regression into childhood days, in which games and serious affairs areidentical, real and imagined things mingle, and anarchical desires aimlessly test infinitepossibilities. By means of this regression the adult escapes a civilization which tends toovergrow and starve out the chaos of instincts – escapes it to restore that chaos upon whichcivilization nevertheless rests. The fair is not freedom, but anarchy entailing chaos.”>- Siegfried Kracauer>As a teenager, I spent a lot of time in my room. Yeah, now you might be asking, who thefuck didn’t? The adolescent bedroom: you mean that nonsensical scribbling in the margins ofsociety? The incubator for Aristotle’s beasts and gods (or for Nietzsche’s philosophers)?Aboriginal Australian societies often had rites of passage, which consisted, basically, ofadolescents going out into the forest to drug, hurt, and deprive themselves until they began tohallucinate. These day-nightmares precipitated, in turn, the passage to a new social state, ladenwith the responsibilities of adulthood. They were the stuff of what Victor Turner called a“liminal state” – not quite childhood, not quite adulthood. It’s as if Schrodinger’s cat had apsychotic break and started acting out a Tom & Jerry episode in its aerated steel cage.But I didn’t need a forest, nor hallucinogens. All I needed was the internet, my dominanthand, and – most of all – music. And I can trace my memory back to the moment my liminalstate started: with Slint’s Spiderland.holy fucking gay
>>124450752Steve Hoffman Forums. It's the main forum I browse as I'm trying to cut down on overall social media usage. I used to browse Ultimate Guitar's forums but I don't know how it's been over there lately.
>>124450987Hey, I'm not actually gay.But I wouldn't have known for sure until recently.I actually kinda had to prove it mathematically.I see you probably went to the last page of that list, without reading it through.No worries.But if you'd like to read it back from the beginning, feel free to.
>>124439799This. OP is a retard who fails to understand the passage of time and that this board isn't ran by balding millennials anymore.
>>124451195Instead they're balding zoomers. Much worse.
>>124439747The stupid timer is only gonna further kill this board
>>124451189>if you'd like to read it back from the beginning, feel free to.why would i do that.
>>124451812I actually don’t know the answer to that question!Chances are, if you are the one who called those words gay,You were kind of insecure about your intelligence.You didn’t like that the words were dense.That their meaning might be complicated.So, you were kind of worried my words were gonna change you.Secretly insecure that big words written by another dude will fuck you in the ass. But you actually don’t have to worry about that.Words can’t fuck people in the ass. :)I’ll leave the decision to read it back from the beginning up to you.
>>124451905god damn you are gay. i get that you regret wasting your teen years being a big pretentious fag, but you need to move on. continuing to be a big pretentious fag into adulthood is not the answer. you do not have the life experience to justify being so self-serious.
>>124452051Hey, guys,I’m not writing this reply to him, but to you.Since he clearly is very, very insecure about his intelligence.Don’t wanna fuck him in the ass anymore with my words.Seems like he doesn’t enjoy it.But, if you want to know what “latent homosexuality” is:Feel free to read my back-and-forth with this dude.
Note also,How he assumes my life experience without even knowing me!What this is, is a projection.He doesn’t have the life experience to be so “self-serious.”So he doesn’t trust himself to understand big words on the internet.:)
Let me actually translate what a “latent homosexual is,”In terms you all are familiar with:A dumb unfunny retard.The issue, is that people don’t have to stay retarded.Being retarded is not a permanent condition.I used to be retarded.I got over it.And it made me really good at spotting other dumb unfunny retards on the internet.Like that guy.Let’s hope he gets over himself one day!
This is just sad.
>>124452220I agree!It’s sad as hell.People don’t really need to be this way.But they get hurt in ways they can’t recognize.Because of how they’ve learned to use the internet.
>>124452274Bro talking like Sephiroth :skull:
>>124439910The irony of this absolute newfag spamschizo blundering into threads about /mu/'s decline
So, if you guys want to know why the state of this board has declined,It’s probably because of how fucking miserable a lot of the people who post here are.Often without fully knowing it.
>>124441253Nice tiktok notifications you zoomer retard. Hope you can afford a computer next year
>>124452291Haven’t played final fantasy.Maybe I should.
>>124439747/po/tardization happenednazi genocide when lmaoooo
>>124452318Unfortunately most threads on this site nowadays is just ragebait Tiktok and Twitter screenshots, followed by the poster asking for everyone's opinion.
Zoomers care more about what's mainstream than what's good
>>124451195I think it's less of a generational gap than people thinkWhen places like mu were young, you only really ended up here if you were a big music nerd, you wanted to know how things were written and recorded, to explore modern music history, and find new top tier music that you had missed etc, but it just isn't like that anymore. Most younger people are chronically online now and find there way here from friends, Twitter, tiktok etc. It's just normal kids that obsess over pop stars. I like Chappell too and I like her music but she's not spammed or even so well liked because of the music. It's really not about the music at all. No one even discusses it other then whether it's "good" or "bad". That's why there's so much talk and gossip around big pop stars instead of just whatever is charting atm, because it's celebrity worship and not the music. The reason that's so annoying to some people is just because you can go fuckin anywhere to discuss these acts and there just isn't anywhere public left to properly nerd out about music. Threads die to pop star memeshit, normies post 'literally who' on classic artists, no one wants to share or talk about music. Yeah it's lame. I still pop in once in a while but it's less and less
>>124452293Nah dude, he's been here since the beginning even though he's also said that he only discovered the board a couple of years ago. Don't worry about the contradiction, whatever he says in the moment is what's true.
>>124439747I know how to fix it, I'll post the solution later this year
newfags dont come here for memes or the board topics, they come here because "everything else is le woke and 4chan is le epic redpilled site"and even if youre a newfag now you gotta sit through some bullshit 15 minute timer so everybody's like "fuck that bullshit"
All my threads trying to discuss music I enjoy get at most 10 replies over several hours.
>>124439910For someone with so much disdain for this board and it's userbase you're on here a lot...May I ask why? Not being condescending, just genuinely curious as I used to browse here for several hours a day.I see your handle nearly every time I peek this board. It's the only handle or Trip I notice anymore.
im new here yall im gonna save you little fags im from /tv/ but never used /mu/ until this week
>>124453863Go back, jose
