Rockists are holding this board back. Everybody moved on and is living in reality while rockists are still pretending it's the 90s and their outdated rock music dominates the music world.
>>

>Everybody moved on
Moved on to what? The radio airwaves are filled with remixes of 80s and 90s slop, and other kinds of cheap nostalgia bait. Same with movies, same with video games. Zoomoids have absolutely no culture of their own. Fucking dumbass frogposter.

Electronic music does not exist in dialogue with itself. Teenagers in bedrooms are too insular.

Jazz music has lost the point by becoming an artform you must study in a conservatory to participate in.

>Rockism is essentially a prejudiced attitude to any form of popular music that doesn't conform to the values of rock music (in the most narrow and conventional sense of the term.) The most obvious example of this is the tendency of middle-aged fans of 'classic rock' to describe any music that involves the overt use of electronic instruments as not 'real music'.

/mu/ died because ROCK died, EDM took over and then hip hop took over. And now POP is back.
Throughout all thes eras, ROCKISTS have made it impossible to properly discuss the most POPULAR GENRES (not rock) by shitting up threads endlessly and spamming the catalog with nothing but unc rock from the 60s to 80s.

If new music were good, we would discuss it. Turns out, like every other industry, it's been sloptimized to the point that nobody can stand it. When you got the kids discussing the Goo Goo Dolls' Slide in the current year, you got a fuckin problem.

60s and 70s rock had no rhythm because they thought you could just sprinkle one here and a different one there as if tune were the essence of music while reality is a locked in driving rhythm that overarchs is THE reason any piece of music ever is good

Music world now is shit astroturfed by pedos, nobody gives a shit about it anymore. Only some gays pretend they care about Taylor Swift and others legacy pop stars

No, new music was good, you were just a rockist who exclusively listens to rockslop.
>>
>>130506262
This board is literally the only place on the whole internet where anyone has mentioned "rockism." Rockists are holding your schizophrenic mind back. Are they in the room with you right now?
>>
Okay, so what music are we supposed to listen instead of rick?
>>
>>130506262
Rap music gives me more fatigue than rock at this point. Rock music is unlikeable. Rap music is literally a psyop.

the fuck is wrong with you?
did you spend days thinking up the stupidest thing to post?

Rock is so obviously superior to every other type of music, it's working class and musically complex while being songwriting focused

what new music is good? honestly, i cant think of any. please list 10 if possible

I think this discussion was already more than 40 years ago.
And all instruments in a rock band are electronic except drums.

Yes, rock died and with it died the community on /mu/. Rockies hated all competition and ruined the whole board for it.

Define what a "rockist" is for us.
>>
>>130517263
someone who only listens to rock and believes that pop, rap and edm/electronic in general are not "real music"
>>
>>130517363
Rap and EDM are definitely not music as there's no actual instruments. I don't think that's even been in dispute.
>>
>>130517403
synths are instruments
>>
>>130517403
rap is good at sampling instrumentals from actual musicians though
>>
>>130509882
it's a slur for people who like rock music that implies that the people who do are also racist. you're supposed to like rap and girly slutpop now.
>>
kek. hot tiktok zoomer girls exclusively listen to 70-90s rock, unc. edm is dead
>>
>>130517721
zoomer girls listen to rap

>>130506262
Rock is the only discussion the board has. Without it it's just Kpop, Wpop, and (c)rap.
>>
>>130517918
he means the alt / emo ones dude and its true they listen to rock but not 70s-90s its more 2000s My Chemical Romance, etc
>>
>>130518327
No, it’s Cocteau Twins, Doors, Nirvana, Pumpkins, AiC, Mazzy Star and Deftones. Rap is dead unless you’re hillbilly or black

>it's working class
It's almost entirely trust-fund brats, industry plants, and university theatre kids at this point. Them, and the decrepit boomer bands who have been ultra-rich for decades. The working class has long since been priced out and the shitlib culture surrounding rock would be hostile to them even if they weren't.
>>
>>130516141
There's a gatekeeping aspect since you have to be somewhat proficient with playing an instrument

It always was. 70% of 60s rock bands were this kind of person.

I think as rock fans we just need to organise the modern scene more effectively. Make better content spaces like the rap fans have done. Let the poptimisits choke on their own corporate narrative filth while we either plan a resurgence or remain content with being a declined but organized fanbase.

>>130521667
the attitude in the 60s among bored middle class kids was that suburbia and consumerism were a mistake and you should return to monke. the attitude among Millenials is rather different, it's more like embracing consumerism and materialism.
