why are socialists so good at music?
>>128875592interesting, now post all the non-socialist albums.
>>128875592Higher IQ
A better question indicated by picrel, why do Western radlibs suck at anything melodic?
>>128875722They like lowest effort for highest possible wholesome chungus social capital. It's why they love minimalism and noise rock and other garbage.
why do homeless people existjust give them homes
>>128875722>radlibsyou mean the opposite of socialists?
>>128875713there's a lot of those, here's the conservative ones
>>128875592>pink floyd>socialists
>>128876201Yeah I mean all the retards in this picture if you couldn't guess>>128876225Higher highs lower lows.
>>128875719You guys are still having retard slapfights about modernist philosophies that they were debating before WW1. Almost everyone is stuck in a nightmarish timeloop on this. Nothing high IQ about staying in it, whether you're a fascist or socialist. You're all people who simply can't grow.
>>128875592They're not. Most of these albums have compositions akin to that of Christian contemporary, or novelty music. Basic, default, oversocialized music.
>>128876290
>>128876647stay in your general
>>128875592>>128876225Can you do an analysis on the themes of these albums and compare the two?
>>128875592Only socialists living in capitalist countries are good at music.
>>128875592They are not
>>128877499Aka larpers. Real ones are either dead, dying from starvation or in despot countries.
>>128876225megakek
>>128877512But he just described America, which is supposed to be a heckin wholesome free marketerino???
>>128877512>America le bad>But socialism and communism also le badWtf was Zappa's problem?
>>128875592Pulp are the best band here
>>128875722>>128876647Imagine, Different Class, London Calling and Entertainment! are objectively some of the most melodic albums ever.
>>128875592I am not sure if I would still consider SOAD socialist, especially with their drummer who is pro Trump
>>128878070>But he just described AmericaExcept he didn't, America has produced a lot of good art during its history.
>>128878428Shavo is also a chud and Daron a centrist (chud coded)
>>128878070>"DEEEWD AMERICA AND SOVIET UNION = SAME THING"Are you retarded?
>>128875592>why are socialists on paper so good at music?Ftfy
>>128876225>conservative is when a chimp goes crazy
>>128876225conservatism has become a meaningless catchall term for anyone not left wing, this is all just culture war slop
>>128875592It makes sense that people who are unhappy with the political system have more of a message and the motivation to address injustices.Conservatism by definition means you want to keep things the same, which makes for shit songwriting.
"I cannot fucking wait til Morrissey dies" Erm, jealous much?
>>128881699Morrissey is also a socialist, tbf
>>128877323that’s not socialism. pink floyd are capitalists in every sense. this board is full of underage retards
>>128881772no he's not
>>128877216True, Cowell, Xenakis and Eisler are virtually the only notable composers that were explicitly socialist.
>>128875592If any of these guys actually lived in a socialist country they would not be able to make any of this stuff
>>128875592Wanna know a funny historical fact?All the people in the Soviet Block especially East Germany were Trafficking music from West Germany. The Smiths and so on were very popular, almost nobody liked USSR music. They got bored of it.
>>128881812he likes Jeremy Corbyn and George Galloway
>>128883381That has more to do with the fact of life in an authoritarian shithole vs a liberal democracy. Too bad socialism always leads to countries being authoritarian shitholes though lmao
>>128878423If you haven't listened to music, then yeah.
>>128884795I have. I mean, technically, it's true that there are artificially louder and repetitive albums to create ersatz melodic music, but taking only well crafted songs with good melodies into account, those are some of the best you're going to get.
>>128885327if i repeat myself will you stop posting this word salad?
>>128885339Instead of being a faggot, post what you think the most melodic albums are, or at least why you don't think the albums I listed are melodic
>>128885376>prove to me that there's music other than the rym top 100
>>128885434None of those albums are in RYM's top 100. Even if they were, it doesn't change the reality they are very melodic.
>>128885442you keep changing the focus of your statement, from "most melodic" to "best melodic music" to "very melodic". i literally don't have to posit anything and you realize how absurd your statement is and keep getting further into the motte.
>The Clash>Not one but three RATM albums>The Dead Kennedys>Parquet Courts>Pulp>The rest Literal Whos
>>128885455I accept your concession.
>>128881800Waters has endorsed multiple far-left politicians you clueless dipshit
>>128878648>conservatism has become a meaningless catchall term for anyone not left wingyes, many progressive right-wingers out there
>>128875592>>128876225Now do Nationalism. Half the albums will be missing because NAAAAAAAZIIIIIIIIIIIS
>>128886565He's right. Conservatism means nothing when the conservatives fail to conserve anything.
>>128875592>>128876225>>128886567Decided to do it myself.
>>128875592Arguably more educated people. Most of people in the New Left back in the 1970s were high profile intellectuals and professors.
>>128875592now how many of these arent just redressed neoliberals and are actual revolutionary anti-democratic leftists?
>>128875592looks like a steaming pile of dogshit to me
>>128875592RATM is one of the worst bands of all time
