We are n a musical limboWe all lnow that, everything feels forced, gay and repetitiveBut the music industry refuses to die.... how? why?
>>131846725gb2 r/redscarepod for this gay culture war discussionif you think music is in limbo, you are simply not paying attention. emo (specifically 90s "second wave" revival) is seeing a gigantic renaissance, and the ethos from that time period is carrying over. House shows, tattoo parlor alleys, VFW halls - DIY as fuck by kids that barely know what they're doing, but sincerely trying their best to make it happen. start herehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-RIV5GDadoIf the music (You) listen to makes no one sweaty, you are listening to the wrong stuff.

>>131846725The older I get the more I realize Mark Fisher was right about true musical innovation being dead.
>>131846993Hate to break it to you, but trying to squeeze yet another "renaissance" out of an old-ass genre (especially one that was already a "revival") and doing a cargo-cult recreation of its ethos is a sign that yes, music is in limbo.
>>131846993constant rehashing of the past is not a sign of a healthy society
>>131846725when people have nothing with buying they'll keep buying anyways because there's nothing else to do
>>131847463>constant rehashing of the past is not a sign of a healthy societyTell that to the Neo-Classical retards in the 20th century that you no doubt idolize so much
>>131847727you realize that while some 20th century composers were rehashing, many others were charting completely new territory?
>>131847727i said "constant". also as the other poster said there were still new movements/scenes happening
>>131847463the idea of originality was invented in like the 18th/19th century by the romantics. before that people ripped each other off all the time, the ancients even had a name for it, Dionysian imitatiohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dionysian_imitatio>Dionysian imitatio is the influential literary method of imitation as formulated by Greek author Dionysius of Halicarnassus in the first century BCE, which conceived it as the rhetorical practice of emulating, adapting, reworking and enriching a source text by an earlier author.[1][2] It is a departure from the concept of Aristotelian mimesis which only is concerned with "imitation of nature" instead of the "imitation of other authors.">Latin orators and rhetoricians adopted the literary method of Dionysius' imitatio and discarded Aristotle's mimesis; the imitation literary approach is closely linked with the widespread observation that "everything has been said already", which was also stated by Egyptian scribes around 2000 BCE. The ideal aim of this approach to literature was not originality, but to surpass the predecessor by improving their writings and set the bar to a higher level.[1] A prominent Latin follower of Dionysius was Quintilian, who shared with him the view of imitatio as the practice that leads to an historical progress of literature over time
