But instead of tapping into kids' natural innocence and idealism, the music industry decided to target all that was cowardly, stupid, and brutal in the rock audience. Heavy metal for all its symphonic bombast is a real rock-and-roll style, but with very few exceptions, its content is egotistic at best and nihilistic at worst. Meanwhile, schlock merchants and nostalgia-mongers of every stripe turned AM radio into the refuge from intelligence that cynics had always believed it to be.
Christgau was a pioneering nu male decades before the term was coined.

So much of criticism is just nonsense. Literally, nothing is said there. Strictly speaking, it's not even criticizing music itself (i.e., sounds) as it is image, lyrics, culture, style, people, etc. Wew, lad.
His review of And Justice For All didn't tell you anything useful except that the songs were too long.
Is it just me or Stevie Wonder's music is boring?
>>72838969
idk if you're trolling but either way you have an extra chromosome
It's just you.
I think it might be because you're a dumbass with horrible taste but that's unconfirmed as of right now.

What's your favorite Stevie Wonder album?
>Tried listening to this before
>3/10 Couldn't understand it
>Tried weed and was blown away 10/10
>Showering and listening
>Literally furiously fingerings my ass because it felt good
>Good album
awkward unfunny description
Didnt enjoy this album at all, the album cover gave off a completely different vibe than the actual music did. I was expecting some moody melancholic music and got some shitty dance tracks.

Looking for some new dream pop. I'm a big fan of Beach House, Slowdive, Cocteau Twins, The Radio Dept
Even though she's primarily considered an ambient artist, Liz Harris aka Grouper, is also considered a very sleepy dream pop artist at times

What are you listening to?
How do you feel?
What's on your mind?
I am listening to The Weeknd. I'm pretty sure The Hills is my favorite Weeknd song. So much raw energy in there. And dat bass.
What are some good Justin Timberlake songs?. I have never listened to him before, but I hear he has some decent tracks.
Any help would be appreciated.

Frustration with trying to balance out work, personal relationships, personal time, and other life responsibilities.
Why does /mu/ hate MUSE so much?
is literally anyone looking forward to their new single tomorrow?
>>72838204
They're just a Reddiohead clone that /mu/ thinks is inferior while singing praises to Reddiohead at the same time
The irony is that the only real criticism most people here can come up with is that they're a "Reddit band"
most of mutants are 17 yrs old white murican cucks that hate any guitar music or loud voices, they only stand guitar music with whiny emo fag vocals like Weezer or Mineral
>>72838826
Matt Bellamy's singing isn't the definition of whiny fag vocals?
What did /mu/ think of the latest LCD Soundsystem songs?
Love them both
american dream is god tier
>>72838203
