This board is coming like a ghost town
>>129750549It's worse than that. It's like coming to the House of Wisdom in Babylon after it got raped by the Mongols.
>>129750549I maintain that not only /mu/ is dead, but music as a whole became so decentralized, so unoriginal (I once asked chatgpt why music has been stagnant for decades, and which new genres have been created over the past 20 years, it's answer ? : post rage, digicore, pluggn, hyperpop...) that no "generations" are possible anymore, music as a respectable/innovative art no longer exists, just your playlist of any assortment of genres for diffferent moods, curated by spotify/tiktok... a post-genre scene. There's no reason for this board to exist, it feels uncool, a retirement home for those who can do nothing else.
Music is still out there but mu wouldn’t know about it because of all the kpop and waifu spam
zoomers. r/theziondon invasion. no good music in over five years .
>>129752981>music is still out there. I'm sure it is, the problem is its all 10+ years old. nothing good was created in many many years, only rehashed ideas, and even those are rare, since most people have shitty taste in music, so that's what gets produced is trap/reggaeton/soundcloud shit, and whatever boring obscure bullshit used to get posted on /mu/ charts, music is dead, you're retard if you can't see it.
>>129754767This. Dubstep was the last real innovation in music.
If you really care about this then the solution is to not piss and moan every time you see a Gen Zer on here. You either stop alienating future generations (realistic, logical, well-adjusted behavior) or force your unc friends back to this board (never worked like that).
>>129750549ALL THE SHARETHREADS ARE BEING CLOSED DOOOOWN
>>129752868>but music as a whole became so decentralized, so unoriginal>>129754767>the problem is its all 10+ years old. nothing good was created in many many yearsWho gives a shit? There's more music you can listen to that's been released from the 40s to the 00s than you have time left on this earth.
>>129750549nooo if only there were people on here that could post about music
>>129752985"invasion" = less posters?
>>129754811TOO MUCH KPOP ON THE CATALOG
>>129754975less musical discussion and more political baiting for (you)s or genuine political unrest i dunno?
>>129754804I'd rather be alone on this board than interact with zoomer subhumans.
>>129754975they drove away more posters than they brought
>>129750549>This board is coming like a ghost townis it spooky at least? mr ESL
>>129754767>I'm sure it is, the problem is its all 10+ years old. nothing good was created in many many yearsStfu. Goddamn you guys are fucking annoying always sounding like a broken record >>129752981There's too much music
>>129757471Are you stupid>>129750549Sunday morning is a good one from them
>>129758332>Sunday morning is a good one from themAgreed, Gangsters is good too.
>>129757444>>129757463doesn't add up. I hardly ever see pro orange man stuff outside /pol/, if anything it's the tds schizos that always have to make everything about drumpf
>>129759695The board seems split on Drumpf, maybe leaning slightly pro even in threads where a /mu/ related thing objectively suffers because of him >>129747667
>>129750549I think Terry Hall didn't even get a sticky
>>129759740>>129759695being overtly pro-Chump just gets you laughed at these days and means no one takes you seriously so you see it less and lessmost Chumpists were more accurately described as anti-woke anyway, it was more of a social culture war thing than a genuine political stance
save /mu/ by banning generals
>>129750549It’s all the waifuspam that’s driving potential new people away. I’ve had conservations with two seperate online friends where they’ve said this. And it’s only been increasing, particularly with the Hayley and Halsey spam.
>>129759878It’s about to get worse, the emily armstrong fag is threatening to spam ten threads on the board forever
>>129759858we could just move generals to its own board. That's what /v/tards did. Unfortunately the current skeleton crew running this sinking ship isn't interested in adding new boards.
>>129759740that thread is actually a perfect example, it has almost no details about the actual deal or implications for music, it's just a thinly veiled excuse to seethe about orange man based on a "report" that "sources say" drumpf pushed for the deal. And right on cue, 3 posts in a deranged schizo is calling for mass murder of blumpf supporters (on a music board)
>>129759892been saying that for years.I think it's already too late for /mu/ but the same thing is happening to /tv/ and it's sad to watch. We REALLY need a board for faggot ass generals that become too much of an issue for any board. Generals are the worst shit that plagued this site and they only cracked down on them for /v/.
>>129759819Please go back
>>129759892>>129759888theres no saving the place, you realise that, right? like zero chance. /mu/ and the rest of 4chan will continue to decline until gookmoot decides its not worth it any more and pulls the plug on the whole site. its delusional to think the future holds anything else.
>>129759933So what would it take to get the admins to do anything
>>129759947We obviously yeah, all things have to end eventually, I'm just pointing out that if we were less dead then we could've added a dedicated general board like /v/ did when this place was still relevant
>>129759947Nah, everyone says that and this site continues being "underground" relevant. There is something to anonymity.
but all things move toward their endall things move toward their endof that you can be sure
>>129758314>There's too much music. Garbage music ? yes, lots of it.
>>129759992all good i am not afraid
>another meta thread where everybody is wrong/mu/ only sucks because (You) labor under the illusion that /mu/ was ever good. We can never go back to a more innocent time. This place is as great as it's ever been, perhaps even better now that partisan jannies have been replaced by virtually no jannies at all.We don't have to pretend there's a /mu/core anymore.We don't have to pretend /mu/core was ever good.We don't have to pretend like this place was ever good for anything except having a laugh by causing seethe or just posting plain gold (with a /mu/-adjacent theme as the only real requirement).In short, we don't have to pretend like the current state of the board isn't the teleological ideal of imageboards./mu/ is dead, long live /mu/.
We've always tried to split 4chan into distinct "eras" since this place was founded2004-2006 were the originalfags, 2006-2008 are the oldfags, 2009-2016 are the newfags, 2016+ are the election tourists etc etc, but now the election tourists aren't really here anymoreI think we could just split 4chan into 2 eraMoot, and post-MootMoot running this place was the peak of its relevancy, moot leaving was a sign that shit was starting to wane, and he left as the Gamergate shit was running rampant and people were flocking to hotwheels, but now hotwheels is fucking dead, we're now in the post-post moot era, this place couldn't be anymore dead, it's sad to see
>>129760034what are you even talking about, this place is still more active than so many.just go on /v/ and you get a response almost immediately in almost any thread.
>>129760084/v/ is dead as fuck compared to its peak and it's usually the most active board on the site. It's fucking over dude
>>129760029Based. Also old /mu/ sucked it had zero Jannies so imagine how much more chaotic it was. Almost nobody got banned even for posting off topic so...The only difference is that there is less users now because Zommies discover music through TikTok on a stupid video of some guy or lady doing a tiktok dance. Zoomies dont know nuffin about bands or instruments they just pick up whats on a short video, they get dopamine and google the song and listen to that. Their taste is all algorithm only. Zoomers are the next Boomers in the sense that Boomers are the passive TV generation very few sought out things, Zoomers are the algorithm generation passively watching only what is adjacently recommended.Dont get me wrong this is better than the Boomers. The algorithm sometimes digs up gems.
>>129759798actually pisses me off
Yeah it’s fucking over
IT KEEPS GETTING WORSE!!!!!!!!!
>>129760456
If there is a good in this board, it lies in the heart of frogposters.
>>129759798the last indignity in a life of suffering
>>129760511His music will live on forever.
>>129750549Now let's all stand for our national anthem
ironically, this board alienates new potential music enjoyers because there's a super prevalent attitude of being 'objective' about music. to overcompensate for the embarrassment that was /mu/core, i suspect. maybe with a dash of performative /pol/faggotry.if you're not a total autist, you can easily tell when someone's trolling or genuinely believes something sucks or is good in an objective sense. most new users don't even get to the stage where they can enjoy themselves regardless, however. they just come here and see too many maladjusted, joyless mongs parotting their opinions as fact.bugpop/slutpop spam is a secondary issue at best. it's not sliding or taking the spotlight off of anything fun or interesting.
/mu/'s been dead for years. I remember albums like MBDTF and Plastic Beach making this board unusable from all the memes and discussion. That was over 15 years ago now.
>>129760708There are three Hayley threads at the top of the catalog right now. And that’s just one popslut
>>129752734the mongols:>>129760539
>>129760759frog website, deal with it
>>129752734Babylon deserved to fall thoYou'd probably agree tho
>>129760730If enough anons complain enough to the jannies they will be forced to do their easy job, that’s how the nico sperg finally got banned
>>129760836who?
>>129760836Every day I lose more and more hope that they will ever do anything
>>129761621There should be a tip button for jannies, a bribe, if you will, to get them to actually keep the effortless crap posting out.But as is, there is no compensation, therefore, no effort.CAN'T GO ON NO MORE>PEOPLE GETTING ANGRY
>>129762053tis a shame
>>129760708Trvke. In real life, if you want to go to a party and 75% of people are talking about dogshit superficially, does that prevent you from starting convos with the other 25% who might be open to anything else? No. If even that fails, you can just go to another party (make a new thread).
>>129765542(cont.)The real issue at all parties are the people who just whine and complain that it sucks. They stick around to whine and never once utilize their freedom to do what might be good.
Twelve (12) current active kpop generals & their offshoots. Get your own board you fuckers. Wpop isn't great either. Gooners have ruined the board
>>129750549A lot of us are feeling this board has gone to absolute shit. We can all agree on a lot of the common problems that have plagued this board but most of us are falling into apathy and nihilism.>K-Pop general (up to double digits active at once) and Mod corruption>Shilling and astroturfing>Poptimism and the cultural displacement of rock music and traditional music criticism>Low effort posting>Irony poisoning>Lack of new OC>A lack of concentrated effort for curation and putting anons onto music. I have a couple of ideas into we can improve the board so I'm wondering what you all think.>More scene generals like the Australian thread to help kick starts localized scenes that haven't been formed elsewhere. >Regular sharethreads>The relentless bullying of shills and related music like Haunted Mound, the "2021 underground", Digighouls, Drizzybots, Sabrina The Teenage DJ along with the pop whores like Olivia Rodrigo and Sabrina Carpenter>An effort to actually get inside the mod team and wead out corruption.>the revival of board generals and bringing old obscurities like Memphis Tapes, rare emo singles and forgotten Soundcloud stuff back into the board consciousness. /core/ and /shugazi/ are up sometimes. good to see https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1HkipeBXaIwCyq8rYL7gio?si=3cb661f0f0ea45ab>An effort to properly canonize Rock albums released in the 21st century>Building foundations to eventually allow Zalphas or Gen Alpha to step in and drive board culture and what they decide to do with Zoomers.>Efforts to facilitate high quality discussion>An acknowledgement in how the last 8 years of intergeneration conflict come about and has still continued without holding back any bullshit. To maturely take losses where necessary on both ends.Any ideas?
Long live /shugazi/, /metal/, /jazz/, /gg/, etc. a few try to fight back
>>129768317>>129768371>any ideas?Yeah, leave and never return. The board is great and the moderation is exactly where it needs to be. You are in the wrong place.

>>129752868>>129754767>>129754784Further evidence I'm sitting at the uncool table coming back to this board. You're lame, clueless people, and you represent the majority here. Of course K-pop, wpop, and schizos are shitty, but they can be ignored. You're the real problem.
generals are inherently gay but holy shit on /mu/ they're absolutely SHIT. they're either dominated by misanthropes or hehe so nice :3 larpers or just dead as fuck. the idea that they're sustaining or saving anything is delulu
>>129768371I’ve seen this exact post before
>>129768483mayb i really should bring back /hip/
>>129759878Yknow with the increase in Indian posters I'd hoped we'd get some kino Bollywood music threads but they just want to goon to Pop sluts all day while mummy feeds them chapatis.
>>129769057I don’t really care for Bollywood music unless it’s the old stuff. But I really like their classical music.
>>129769053
>>129752868doesnt mean we cant discuss it. hell, look at the hoffman forum those elderly dudes have been listening to the same music since they were kids. to state the obvious but the 1960s is 60yrs ago and it doesnt stop them from talking about the same groups or albums. they have literally ignored any new genre past 1980
>>129760136Yup.
I literally just found out today that SputnikMusic does weekly roundups of all new releases. /mu/ is "dead" because to be fair it's not exactly easy to stay on top of everything coming out these days.
>>129750549The chorus chanting is so fuckin genius. How do you even come up with that stuff?
allow people to post mp3 files
gooners have taken everything from us
I want to talk about Electronic music. It's one of the biggest umbrellas in the world and everyone leeches off it for their shit but I can't get a thread going for more than 5 replies? And I'm not talking about the shoegazing abstract soundscape kaliedoscopes (which I listen to as well but not exclusively). I want to talk about dance music. I want to talk about UK Garage, Dubstep, Drum N Bass, Hybrid Trap, Space Bass etc. You guys have genre threads that leech off these genres but I can't have what I want?
>>129775748i dont go to any of the electronic music threads because it always looks like its one schizo posting everything
>>129776178Yup. That schizo is also a janny that hangs out in /metal/
