Within white culture existed room for the starving artist or the "other" who didn't fit in but really did...really played his part in the culture.


Flooding our countries with non-whites has taken this away because the prevailing narrative is victimization

>There’s literally no such thing
Then why are non-Whites always crying about wanting inclusion in White lore, fairy tales, symphonies and ballets, and even wanting White history re-written so they can be included so they can claim it as theirs too? Why is it that there's pretty much an unwritten rule that says that when White people make a music video you gotta include that diversity or you racist?

>>128103217
>because the prevailing narrative is victimization
The first "Joker" movie exposed the prevailing narrative within the backlash against it: White people can't be social outsiders, victims of cruel society, or anything bad. Being White is automatically being priveleged with a better life than anyone else just because. Of course that's a fucking lie that certain types made up so they don't have to feel bad about pouring in and taking all they can from Whites.
>>
>>128103217
true but we still have some older ones lingering
i'd like to see some younger ones pop up I don't know any but we are certainly primed for some

Frankly we have the tools now that have never been easier for some guy in his bedroom to make some very interesting/novel sophisticated music and the knowledge has never been more accessible, just kind of needs to happen. The generally low and generic quality isn't at all determined I think it might be more of a moral thing.

That the "artistic" sort of people rather get absorbed into mass media/hive mind mass politics stuff, and are no longer in contact with reality so they aren't actually able to make any genuine art because it just turns into talking about how racism is bad or how they became a tranny. I think that did eliminate the majority of potential artists but it just takes 1 actual one to really to kick something off

You’re getting American (US) culture conflated with “European culture”. Europe has and always has had a diversity of cultures, when you force them under a single umbrella and then claim the whole thing as “white culture” (but you really mean American non-slaves non-hispanic non-asian and only from the US), what you are effectively doing is destroying European culture itself.
You meantion ballet as example, well let me inform you that ballet is not a cultural norm for all of the various distinct cultures of Europe and it’s not even arguable.
I’ll tell you something else as an example an Arab Maronite Christian from Lebanon or Syria has vastly more in common with any Roman Catholic from anywhere in Europe compared with for example a Swiss Calvinist, if only you knew what I was talking about eh

British music was so peak from the 60s- early 2000s, and then it kind of died. I think you're right that too much diversity plus changing social conditions ruined it. Even British punk was great, the late 1970s dissatisfaction with the economy and government produced tons of great bands. Now it's fucking dead.

>>128104114
Ballet is European. And Fairy Tales passed down to the American artist Walt Disney are European. European whites and European Americans share the same blood. That is why they are white. With various colors for eyes and hair.

>>128104114
it's really not even worth arguing with sharts over this. the person you're replying to probably isn't even white, he's most likely some self-hating mystery meat mestizo. the only reason they capitalize White is to counter others capitalizing Black which is also pointless virtue signalling

Neither were Italians in America, now they are. If whiteness was an actual culture it would exclude itself from allowing foreign cultures to join it. Those other cultures would be subsumed by it, total homogenization, but we don’t see this. What we see is Irish Catholics and Italians are still Irish Catholics and Italians and what’s changed it whiteness has been redefined so as to claim those distinct cultures as white.
The truth is it’s just dumb racism and the facts are that a black American is closer culturally to whatever you want to call a white American than either of them are to Africans or Europeans because they are both American.
Racists are absolutely fucking retarded

Ballet is not Greek you stupid idiot. Ballet is not Irish it is not English it is not Hungarian it is not Spanish you are an ignorant fool of a person.
Those Disney fairy tales are also taken from specific cultures, some are German some are Danish some are Irish or whatever, they aren’t the same fairy tales in the whole of Europe because Europe is not a single homogeneous cultural block and fuck you for trying to destroy it with your ideas
>>
this isn't just directed at OP, but what *exactly* does it mean for a race/ethnic group to have a certain culture? a common thing I find in these discussions is an emphasis on respective parties saying or acting like their culture has only/mostly good qualities, but never really talking about their bad qualities (if they think any exist).

A people is their ethnicity and culture, just genetically speaking you have a group of people in a particular environement and what that people is the product of thosuands of years of selective breeding and intentional cultural shaping so that they can be bettered adapted to their environment. Folk/traditional practices that are the typical meat of a culture (they they are largely, and intentionally, destroyed now) were the means of a people functioning in their environment.

You'd have those things come about for how you deal with your neighbors, the seasons, agriculture, etc.

A culture is part of a people, just as an ethnicity is and either can be rationally separated from the others.

>never talking about their bad qualities
It's not a good or bad thing, it's just particularity your desire to generate a system of good and bad among them is just your hatred of culture as such.
For any particular culture, any other culture is a sense bad to the extent it degrades their particular culture. The more different it is, the worst it is. I'm principally scottish and english and an inheritor of that ethnicity and culture, my good is in that culture functioning and anyone who is contrary to that culture is contrary to my good.

Good is, in the classical sense, the flourishing of some particular creature, not some abstract judgement of how many positive points something has. Destroying and not allowing particular cultures to exist is evil because it prevents the flourishing of particular creatures, each culture is in some sense hostile towards eachother for the same reason.

But from the perspective of the person flourishing my culture is part of my good, it is the means by which i flourish, practically it does only have good qualities. There is no second order perspective where I can see myself in another culture, as my culture itself is my means of rationally engaging with things you can't not have a language.

>Do you really bandcamp isnt brimming with the type you're describing? The problem is they don't recieve promotion anymore
People go on about muh culture but the fundamental problem is that people don't pay for music anymore. That's bad for "outsider" artists who might've been able to make enough money to do it full time in the 1980s/1990s. That's just not possible now. You have a few super-successful monopolistic pop artists like Taylor Swift (who looks like an Ayran princess) and then a bunch of people in their bedrooms playing around on their computers.

You can still find plenty of autistic annoying quirky white guy artists like Morrissey or David foster wallace who are convinced they’re misunderstood geniuses. Those guys never went away, the industry just stopped giving them attention because by and large they are considered yesterday’s news by hipsters and tastemakers. There was a huge saturation of guys like that in the 90’s. It’s basically a huge chunk of Gen x culture

There aren't eccentrics in prominent numbers among any ethnic population in the United States anymore.
White guys all just want to be frat trash, black guys all just want to be YNs etc etc.
The eccentric died in the 2010s when it was phased out by social media's hyper obsession with conformity and logging of social behavior.
It's why music has become so boring. The people who make it have all become boring.

Yeah, this is very true. I've been trying to articulate this for a while. Someone like Matty Healy is vaguely cancelled and his only crime is being an eccentric white man. Pitchfork didn't review John Maus' latest album, despite him denouncing Trump and going on a public apology tour. Blaming "woke" is too simplistic, but there's just an overall intolerance towards eccentricity.

>That's just not possible now.
it is very possible. youtube showed me a video by Tim Exile and i thought "is he still going?". i didn't watch the video. but he has been around for 15, 20 years as a musician in the small electronic musician economy. i went to Sonar festival 20 years ago and it was all small time producers making a living and lots of them are still going.
it is quite ignorant to be so binary in your bedroom/swift-monopoly statement. it is quite dependant on your location as to what you can experience, this is an irony of the internet that even though the internet supposedly has everything, you do need to be near a major city or a specific city to experience these things in person, but there are scenes and economies and ecosystems of music and creativity around.

i don't play in bands anymore but if people in their 20s are complaining they can't be in a band because they need a full time job to afford to live then they are still making a choice about how they spend their time. everyone gets 2 days off and only works 8 hours a day, so people have free time to make music. they are just not keen to make the sacrifices needed. Johnny Marr did nothing but play the guitar and have his girlfriend. every band on the dole in the UK in the 80s made the sacrifice of being poor and skint so they could be in a band. people who today need to work need to make the sacrifice of not doing other things if they want to be in a band. the fact that Viscount Mumford could subsidise his sons and his friends to make music and be in a band is irrelevant to 4 lads from Middlesbrough who work in a call centre and still decide to spend their money on rehearsal rooms 3 nights a week and petrol money to play a gigi on saturdays.

I'd agree with that, plus the boy band/X factor era that really finished off a lot of what made it so great. There are no "true stories" anymore of bands like The Beatles, Black Sabbath or Joy Division being a bunch of loser dorks who made great songs and became famous, its all manufactured and astroturfed to shit now. A lot of the blame can be laid at the feet of cunts like pic related, though it really probably began in the 80s with the likes of Stock, Aitken and Waterman and their pop "hit factory". Pretty sure Satan Cowell was associated with them early on in his career.
>>
>>128106994
>>128116476
Honestly I think both these posts are accurate. Yes, unique and creative artists still exist and can still perpetuate their art, that hasn't changed and if anything has gotten easier, but gone are the days when there was room for eccentricity in the charts. The Smiths or someone like them wouldn't be topping the charts in 2025, they'd be cranking out cassettes for Bandcamp retro hipsters. Is that a good thing or not? I don't know, but the landscape is just different now and IMO something has been lost along the way.

How can one be vaguelly cancelled? Didn't he just headline the most woke festival on earth where everyone was chanting free palestine
If being cancelled is to mean anything it must have some real effect on your career. Kanye is cancelled. Morrissey is not cancelled but there's some embarrassment around admitting to being a fan of his (which has been the case since the time of The Smiths - Morrissey's obstreperous ways were a constant topic in UK Music Journalism back then). Kanye was in that position for many years until he got to actually being a Nazi but he was extremely successful, no one was protesting him performing etc as in case of actual cancellation

The way Americans do it is oversimplified and removed of any historical depth but (western) european cultures have been sharing much more with each other than with non-european cultures for like a millennium and a half. On various levels of law, philosophy, science and art. There's a reason Flemish art expanded on an Italian tradition and not say a Chinese one. Or why "concert music" styles spanned Austria, Germany, France, Russia, Italy, etc...

Matty Healy isn't cancelled, but he was publicly called out by Rina Sawayama and Lucy Dacus of boygenius. And Taylor Swift wrote an entire album vilifying and exposing him, which has prompted her legion of fans to continuously attack him. The only crime he ever committed was being an eccentric.
