Classical music is so evidently superior to all other kinds of music, yet we keep lowering the standards when we talk about other types of music, to avoid the uncomfortable situation where the butt rock dude or the druggy EDM boy gets anal pained when they are told the great masters are better than their shitty hedonistic hero.Instead of white guilt, in the music world there is "classical" guilt. We keep lowering the standards for other kinds of music to compensate and preserve our dream of marxist culturalism. Of perfect musical relativism. Guess what? It isn't true and the compositional talent and imagination displayed, which is all that counts in the end when we have to say what is worth being saved and what not, is infinitely superior in classical music than in any other form of music.If your shitty pop muzak is an 8 what the fuck are Beethoven's late string quartets? a 400? most music is barely a 1 to 3, the Beatles fall in here and so do most other popular music with very few exceptions that reach a 4, even a 5. Bartok string quartets would be a 6, 2 degrees of magnitude higher you have works by Brahms and other great masters. Then 9 and 10 are reserved for the highest achievements of human race like Beethoven's late string quartets or his Missa Solemnis or Mass in B minor by Bach or his Brandenburg Concertos.

Only Americans say things like this btw.
>>131682616Based Scriabin enjoyer.
>>131682922I'm not

Embarassing and meretricious pseud posturing. Here's hoping you'll be able to shed your deep ignorance and look inward, toward whatever tangled emotional mess has pushed you to convince yourself above to anyone who isn't into whatever niche artistic flavour you've decided is quantifiably superior. Your post is transparently petty and resentful. I'll genuinely pray you realise what a miserable life your outlook will bring upon you. Seriously go touch some grass.
>>131684142assuming you're not jesting: its a copypasta. this site is mostly people goofing off and not everyone here is 100% serious all the time.
>>131684142>>131685412Just because it's a pasta doesn't mean it's not true. Every good pasta has a grain of truth to it, and this is especially true:>If your shitty pop muzak is an 8 what the fuck are Beethoven's late string quartets? a 400? There's a reason art music is often called serious music. You guys don't know what you're missing if you're still stuck at /mu/core nonsense.
>>131684142>niche artistic flavourLol, classical music is the oldest, most diverse musical tradition in the world.>you've decided is quantifiably superiorHim and millions of musically and culturally educated people around the world and throughout history.Spare us of your crybaby essays that say nothing of value.
Eh, I haven’t yet come across a piano piece that my ears haven’t completely exhausted after listening to it just a few times. It quickly feels very slippery and tired. These compositions, so keen to show themselves off that they’re like nudists: however beautiful they may be, you eventually tire of their bodies! Even the utmost sophistication cannot make up for the fact that these are compositions that were conceived before the advent of headphones, for the occasional concert - they were designed to pass the test of musical analysis, but not to actually stand up to repeated listening. And before you know it, you find yourself listening to the same piece performed by thirty-six different musicians to cope with the fact that you’re becoming permanently desensitised to it!Such is music when it is composed largely out of a desire to impress.
>>131689586There's quite a few retarded assumptions packed into your little AI-generated post, anon.
Poem op. 32 No 1 is the peak of Scriabin.
>>131687887>classical music is the oldest, most diverse musical tradition in the worldnuh uhthat's folk, clearly. the lineage of traditional folk stretches back into prehistory and its global diversity is unmatched. can't believe that wasn't obvious to youkek
>>131690586Folk is not a tradition with a consistent lineage, the lack of lineage is a defining factor. You are retarded
>>131690586Yeah, no. >>131691004 is right. Folk music isn't a coherent tradition, it's way too fragmented and localized.
Classical is gaying up my playlists. I was listening to Penguin Cafe Orchestra, no I do not want to listen to Beethoven's 7th. Tchaicovsky greatest hits is always cool thohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8J8urC_8Jw
>>131691004Neither is classical. What you mean by Classical is like 1700-1920
The classical period? Trash, compared to the cotemporary period, why would I listen to some gay sonata when I could watch LaMonte Young trying to push a piano through a wall?
>>131691004>>131691172wow, you two really are very ignorant when it comes to music, arent you? the folk music of each particular region has an unbroken lineage, its passed on from generation to generation. thats its one defining characteristic.its s good job I'm here to do your thinking for you or you might mislead people with your ill-informed and unreasoned babbling.
>>131693395>the folk music of each particular region has an unbroken lineagelollmao even.Okay, so where are the scores of 5th CE folk music? Forget it, 16th century folk music maybe? Alright alright, 17th century, cmon now. Oh, you naive, musically illiterate tard.
>>131682616>classical musiconly if by that you mean art music, which includes contemporary stuff, then I agree, folk music is also fine, the rest is garbage made to have mass appeal to generate fame/money
>>131682616>Posting temu Chopin
>>131696149Other way around, actually. Chopin is just a gay, effete, salon version of Scriabin.
>>131693395You're arguing with someone who actually studied folk and classical music. Besides, you've contradicted yourself in the very same post. It's not a single tradition precisely because it's based on particular, often very small regions, like a village or valley; it's heavily localized and fragmented, and usually transmitted orally rather than through a shared written tradition. Western classical music is more or less anchored across an entire continent, where composers, schools and styles are aware of and influence each other. Folk music as a whole isn't remotely like that. You'd have to point to a specific local folk tradition for the comparison to make sense.
