Where did the current Canon of Good Taste come from? Did this list start on /mu/, RYM, pitchfork? I want to understand how we got where we are
>>130801498King Crimson and Radiohead have always had massive cross-platform (writers, radioplay, online, etc) approval.
>>130801498I'm listening "Exmilitary" in this precise moment, I thought I would like it as much as the old days (2012-3) but the novelty definitely wore off. I'd rather listen to Nirvana's "Nevermind".
>>130801498/mu/ no jokeall the poser faggots and trannies just copied what they saw here. Normies dont have any single original thought in their brains

>>130801600How "novelty" even factors in, is one of the reasons I hate the online "music community". If you want to rate albums based on lyrics, you'd be better off rating books, if it's for the "production" go for movies, but novelty ?... did you ever rate stomp clap hey, crunkcore, SoundCloud rap etc... highly ?, if not, you're inconsistent and hypocritical.
>>130801681I would believe it more than anything else. 4chan has a weird influence upstream of internet culture
>>130801699I never rated the album, I expressed how I'm feeling now. It was never meant to be an "objective measure" or some serious form of criticism. To rephrase it for you: I got older and I don't like it anymore.
>>130801788factsnormies dont know tho we change the literal language of the population from the underground up. words like "slop" trickled up here.sóyjack memes. here. etc, etc.Normies dont notice but thats how it be. I remember a shitty Normcore fashion revival in the early 2010s around 2012, etc. That was /fa/ with its normcore inspired palewave, then i remember Forever 21 selling Nasa shirts and that was because /fa/ back then was doing Lunarcore styles and so on. 4chan influences a lot of things slowly. Depending on how big a board's community is.I'd argue rn we are influencing Zoomers to slowly adopt Scene fag shit again because we talk about it. But those styles are more complex and require more effort so it will take time if it ever catches up again.

>>130801824Dude, if you seriously believe that, you're retarded and delusional beyond measure. /mu/ isn't anywhere near as influential as you think, especially now, that it is a shadow of it's former self, with way less people coming in (I'd say 100~150 people at best) "scene" is making a partial comeback because it looks "cool/interesting" + re-evaluation (that scene produced some very good music, even if you don't like it, plenty of people do, and /mu/ has nothing do with it) MCR for example, just toured South America, full stadiums, if you think /mu/ did that, you must be 8 y.o or sth.
>>130802078This isn’t about commercially successful stuff or even the influence of current /mu/, I’m more curious where the oddly specific set of albums/artists that make up the current canon (remain in light, aeroplane over the sea, swans, mbv etc) came from originally. Like did anons here agree to a pitchfork assessment or did those organically emerge as highly rated works on RYM?
