How come black music is so much more life-affirming than white music? Black people invented extremely soulful and fun genres that make you want to live even though blacks objectively had it worse than whites economically and socially. Meanwhile when whites stole rock from blacks they immediately turned it into some cringe school shooter genre singing how much they hate everyone and want to kill themselves to the accompaniment of distorted guitars.

Why did blacks abandon house music?
It's one of the best genres to exist and they all just went away to make hip hop instead.

>Singing about wanting to kill yourself due to depression
Most blues songs are definitely life-affirming even though they deal with tough shit like marital infidelity and economic issues at the end of the day they always contain a positive note and the singer says "yes" to live and decides to move forward. If you think Robert Johnson and Kurt Cobain are in any way comparable you're retarded.

>>130671469
Didn't blacks start doing the distorted guitar shit?
>>
>>130671469
timmies have gotten demoralized due to porn consumption so they all sing about being le sad
black men know how to live and know that the fruits of life are sweet and savory, one can only hope to spread this joy with all through music

Haven't you answered your own question there? Life-affirming music exists to cope with a brutal reality. Even mournful songs are about sincere emotion and love. Whereas more economically comfortable and developed cultures still have to contend with alienation and a lack of the existential fulfilment that their society was supposed to provide, making life begin to appear meaningless, and allowing plenty of time to dwell on resentment, fury or nihilistic apathy.
It's not 100% along racial lines though, e.g. you can find plenty of old Memphis rap tapes that (although tongue-in-cheek and with playful 'horror' beats) are as thematically depressive and demonic as the average suicidal black metal album.

I think it has to do with religion.
Gospel celebrates. Romantic classical music -generally- laments. So they're both religious but they become different forms of expression with time. Whites wanted to be serious, generally speaking.

everyone in this thread seems to be completely ignoring all rock music before the 90s and all rap music the 90s onward
>>
>>130671469
nice racebait, but this dichotomy really only exists in normalfag music
>>
>>130671469
Have you heard cRap music before?
not very life affirming.

>>130671503
>>130671539
Blues is this very macho angst, it's not Nirvana or Korn which is more like my uncle raped me and turned me trans brb killing myself.
>>
why is this board so obsessed with dead genres?
no one listens to jazz, blues or rock..

Post your favorite artists/albums so we can judge your tastes.
>>
do you niggers seriously not remember the hysteria over gangster rap and people thinking it was the root of all society's problems because of how violent and nihilistic it was
>>
>>130672240
all this /pol/lution has done is give people who are desperate for attention an easy button to push to get it immediately. there's no thought or conviction there.
>>
>>130672151
how does that change the fact that all those genres are dead?
>>
>>130672240
Violence is not life-denying as long as it's directed against others. It is if you're a white rocker with suicidal ideation
>>
>>130672151
>Post your favorite artists/albums so we can judge your tastes

Death Grips, Neutral Milk Hotel, Grimes, the list goes on.

this.. a blues man wouldn't kill himself. He'd die from starvation because he was too poor or he'd die from a bar fight

Rap is now the worst music being made in modern times

just because zoomcels don’t know about it doesn’t mean it’s non-existent.

>why are jews promoting life-affirming black music and self-defeating white music
>>
>>130671469
White people music was life affirming as long as our civilization was on the rise, a solid 350 years from the late Rennaissance to the 1960s. Our time is past, our civilization is in decline, while black people are rising, and you can see that permeating everything about our cultures and minds. We're in 2 different spiritual worlds. Conventional wisdom would tell me blacks will not peak anywhere near as high as we did, but I could be wrong. Our time has past, to put it in halo terms the mantle has passed from us

>>130671469
It's self-delusion. Glorifying crime is a mega cope for how truly bleak your life is.
>>
>>130671469
how come blacks STOPPED making life affirming music and made rap???? which is not music but ghetto babble???? Like I could go to any black ghetto and hear people talk just like rap music....so why does anyone pay to hear rap???? when its just ghetto niggers talking???? reminder that rap started in 1980 and niggers havent made any good music in 26 years

Ah yes, where are all the black inventions, architectural styles, literary genres etc.?

Pooskins have literal 60 IQs. They don’t have to worry about their children’s children having a viable civilization to live in because they don’t notice how bad living in a mud hut and smelling like shit all day is.

As far as science and engineering, the West has long since picked the low-hanging fruit, and some high hanging fruit, so if they were to reinvent it we wouldn't notice it as anything new, and they would be wise to piggyback off Western developments, as those blacks who are ingrained in American culture do.
They've certainly invented many music styles.

Black Metal is the most life affirming music though

>>130671469
Whites are keeping most good black music alive, wouldn't be any more blues or jazz without whites cuz blacks gave up on that shit.

no it white. History prove that.

It was. Hiphop was a nuclear bomb dropped on black society, they never recovered. Blacks once wanted to be white, now they rebel on being niggers. Even some whites want to be niggers.

The jannies want these kind of thread only now that's why they spam any thread where there is actual music discussion going on with their racebait bullshit
