the /mu/-core checklist:
>sounds like the noise in your depressed, overwhelmed head
>creator cultivates an aura of mystery, can't be caught just working normally, that's not authentic and pure
>weird enough to be different from normies, but not too weird that it would be an acquired taste that you have to actually acquire
>strong, consistent sound palette across the album, to take you away from your preventably miserable surroundings like a musical isekai
>a sprinkle of emotional (occasionally dubbed "transcendent") tantrums like the ones you wish you could throw

First time I see "Spirit they're gone" in the /mu/core list. Usually "Merriweather Post Pavilion" occupies that place.

ITCOTCK is so bad compared to basically every other KC release, no idea why it's the only one people seem to care about.
>>
>>128128579
Because you are historically illiterate. ITCOTCK was their most impactful

Imagine if /lit/s most acclaimed books were genre fiction from the mid to late 20th century and nothing else. That is what /mu/core is but for music.

Any serious place for music discussion would have works by Mozart, Sweelinck, Bach, Monteverdi, Beethoven, William Byrd, John Bull and other greats who defined later periods of music as their essentials. The fact that the people of this board will read this post and only recognize the names they've heard in movies should say enough.

It's funny that the board most dedicated to hating those younger than them also are unable to listen to anything older than their parents.
>>
>>128127660
>No Jacob Collier
What shit is that
>>
>>128128766
there's really not that many books in the /lit/ top 100 that were written before the 1800s
>>
>>128128874

There at least ARE books written before that time. /mu/core has not even an album from before 1960 for Christs sake
>>
>>128128766
>Mozart, Sweelinck, Bach, Monteverdi, Beethoven, William Byrd, John Bull
>Sweelinck, Byrd, Bull
You have to be English or something to think that these are anywhere near as essential as the other composers you mentioned.
>>
>>128128968
Good job on being retarded
>>
>>128128987
Because Sweelinck was Dutch? Still reads as English because nobody else would regard the Virginalists as being on the same tier as Monteverdi, let alone Bach.

That's basically the key to making a good album. Now go make one.

It's easy to hate on /mu/core now that it's mainstream and the captain of the cheer team at your school listens to Loveless. Must suck to be a zoomer, not getting to have anything cool.
>>
>>128128901
Maybe that's because albums only appeared in the 50s ?, and before that there were only singles ?, and before the 20th century there were only music boxes ? ever thought of that ?. Also, classic music has no vocals, or many of the elements that form the modern understanding of a song, it's like edm, but without all the effects, and way less cool.

Baiting is not funny when retards actually believe what you wrote

>>128127660
i dont think you understand the point of mu core. its a platform with which a normie builds off to discover more interesting music. all these albums are like bottle openers for new genres to people.
>>
>>128127660
desu untrue and exmilitary are quite the acquired tastes, one sounds of pace and badly mixed the first time you listen to it, and the other... sounds scary D:

Best analogy I've seen in a while.
>>
>>128130451
>>128129805
None of the genres it introduces are in any way interesting to listen to, so its moot either way you look at it
>>
>>128129805
>all these albums are like bottle openers for new genres to people
that's the claim, but in reality it only opens one bottle that contains more of the same. what if someone really likes bluegrass and they don't know it yet? tough shit, we only allow sad nerd music here.

Your funny

>>128130575
>>thinks he can directly compare music with literature
In what regard is it less fair to compare literature to music on this front? I am talking about the respect for the medium's most important works here, it's not some magical thing that exclusively exists in one medium, retard.
>>claims older is better and
Where the fuck did I claim older is better you sanctimonious shitstain? I'm not asking you to listen to fucking greek or tribal melodies, now am I?
>>doesn’t understand either
Clearly better than you do, you cannot even understand a simple post on a Mongolian basket weaving forum. Let alone a whole artform. You should probably get a different hobby.
>Your funny
*you're
You cannot even write properly either.

When thinking of the past we can remember some better times and this can make us sad for the current situation, we should’ve been more aware and thankful of those good times and we should be more thankful now and grateful not that things aren’t worse but that we can find something good in any circumstance

Classical music has no percussion or rhythm. It’s an outdated, inferior form of music.
>>
>>128130659
>No percussion
Bass drum, snare drum, tenor drum, field drum, tambourine, triangle, cymbals, castanets, tam-tam, whip (or slapstick), ratchet, anvil, sleigh bells, wood block, gong, rattle, thunder sheet, wind machine, bell tree.
>rhythm
Classical music has more rhythmic variety and complexity than any music from /mu/core, what is your retarded ass even talking about lmfao

Thank you for the good list of instruments never included in classical music
>>
>>128130741
So you just don't listen to it? Plenty use it quite liberally. Regardless, percussive instruments are not musical and should only be used for effect. The only one that has any value is timpani.

It's clear you don't actually like music if you need non-musical sounds to make it enjoyable for you. Listen to ASMR at that point, or get a different hobby.

maybe more like if /lit/'s acclaimed stuff was mostly science fiction and dystopian futures.
now that i typed it out...is it mostly science fiction and dystopian futures?

Yes

VdGG is better than both of them.
>>
>>128129805
That's how it should be, but most people never go beyond those albums and then go on to argue that those the "best", as if they've somehow found a secret endgame of their musical journey by which they can now gloat over their "superior" musical taste. Really they're only just begun scratching the surface.

Classical music was more like an event, not something that you could listen to at any time anywhere, like going to see a play but it's music, the music made in the last 70 or so years is music you can listen to anywhere or any time in any place which causes some seperation from the music before it, its not really comparable to books that could have always been read at any place at will
>>
>>128138601
>Classical music was more like an event, not something that you could listen to at any time anywhere
But not really? Maybe big orchestral works, but even then those had chamber renditions or piano reductions. Most people back then either knew a musician who could play for social gatherings or were ones themselves. Just because most people didn't hear Beethoven's fifth in it's original orchestral version doesn't mean they weren't familiar with it either through Czerny's piano reductions or the hundreds of other chamber versions of that work. And depending on the instrument, you absolutely could listen at any place at any time as instruments like Violin and Flute had plenty of pieces written solo for them. Bach's Chaconne could be listened to either in a concert hall, the home, or the top of the mountain.
>the music made in the last 70 or so years is music you can listen to anywhere or any time in any place which causes some seperation from the music before it, its not really comparable to books that could have always been read at any place at will
Music was literally published as literature, you can read the score at any place and any time. If you couldn't, you wouldn't
(and still dont) have any business discussing music in the first place.
>>
>>128140041
not him but I’ve an idea it’s more like comparing modern film with theatre, like you don’t compare a Shakespeare play with a James Cameron film because they aren’t the same medium and written music isn’t the same as a recorded album
>>
>>128140801
Except film and theatre are fundamentally different in a way that music isn't
