Why does neofolk attract artists who usually have a general fascist aesthetic to them?
>Nico >neofolk
>>131831259Albums lik desertshore and the end seemed to be classed as neofolk albums, which I tend to agree with. I mean people seem to point to her as inventing the genre.
>>131831173In Douglas' case that's just what it takes to make him cum.
>>131831173Do they play Neo Folk at the car wash?
>>131831173neofolk doesn't attract anybody, nobody listens to that shit. some people online may post that they do but i guarantee you that they don't play that crap in real life.
its because the genre sucks and is largely built around a manufactured image/aesthetic rather than the music itself. neofolk at its best is more of a form of multimedia than music, the music is clearly not enough to keep people interested in it alone. wear hecking nazierino clothes and put totenkopfs on your albums and people will listen because muh shock value or something>>131831314this is the kind of naive music revisionism that makes me hate sites like rym with a burning passion. nico is not 'neofolk' you blathering retard
I hate how the Douglas Piece gay sex porno is lost media now. I remember like 10 years ago you could still watch it, people would post screen shots of it all the time on /mu/
because fascism is aesthetic
>>131831677>>131831173What is fascist about this aesthetic. nazis didn't invent ties or greek architecture
>>131831173
>>131831667>nico is not 'neofolk' you blathering retardYou only say this because you hate Neofolk. By your logic Swans/AoL and Current 93 aren't neofolk because they don't use NatSoc imagery. You are just as retarded as RateYourTrooners.
>>131831173Folk is heavily rooted in tradition, so naturally there's gonna be a contingent of folk musicians whose traditional bent extends to everything else in life - and given that preserving tradition on a societal scale would require strict rules and regulations, some of these musicians feel aligned with fascist ideology to some extent.
>>131832118Folk is literally a fake genre made up by American commies in the 30s to try and connect with the rural poor and invent a fake tradition that never was since country was the preferred genre for these people. Bands like DI6 and Current 93 have nothing in common with British/European folk tradition
>>131832129Broadly speaking, folk music = simple songs that feature acoustic guitars and lyrics about simple stuff. It's a resistance against technological progress.
>>131831682but croatians (nazis) did invent ties
>>131831792What is this from?
>>131831674There is nothing more fascist then letting 60 year old men sodomize you
>>131831810nico isnt neofolk because she worked some 20 years before the term was ever used and is only lumped in there by chronically online autists who struggle to understand how the world works. i genuinely do not care about the politics you are trying to insinuate, just in what world is nico neofolk. and theres no way you seriously typed out NatSoc and took time to capitalize the letters. idk if you just woke up from a 10 year long coma but nobody types like that in this day and age, polandball has been dead for a while now dude>>131832118>>131832129im not trying to be overly negative but youre kind of outing yourself as an idiot when you bring up acoustic guitars in relation to folk. folk music is just whatever music naturally develops out of communities. pygmy chanting from namibia doesnt have acoustic guitars, yet it is still folk. jesus dudelike, the stuf di6 does has more in common compositionally with AOR ballads from the 70s and 80s. the acoustic guitar doesnt make it closer to some authentic pagan european tradition, it makes it closer to AOR from the 70s and 80s. if you want the former try sun city girls just to start
>>131834248You sound like and insufferable faggot who reads too much into trivial shit. I suggest killing yourself.
>>131834713when someone disagrees with you, i can understand getting mad, but not even explaining why is just childish. you need to learn to elaborate if you want to be a serious person, and especially if you want me to kill myself
>>131834713you're the guy who started profiling him simply because he knows what order the years happened in
fascism is transgressive when you are an artist, to be an artist means to be against the bourgeoise lifestyle, and being a black sun worshipping neo pagan is def far away from the typical soccer mom.Neofolk leans right, its one of the very few genres that does this which makes it unique to me. While there are fashy elements and symbolism and visuals.There is also a Christian sub current in some neofolk like current 93 and The Revolutionary Army of the Infant Jesus if fascism isnt your thing
