As a musician, I'm trying to find a specific niche to fit myself in or a "gimmick" (that isn't cheap) to set myself apart from the crowd.
How do I do this?
Should it just arise naturally?
The music I make is mostly inspired by Bob Dyaln, The Mountain Goats, Bright Eyes, Neutral Milk Hotel, and The Beatles. It's very lyric driven and slightly psychedelic.
I've thought about possibly selling myself as an old timey folk singer to go with the nostalgic angle, but I'm not sure if that's the right way.
Any suggestions?

i cant believe she is dating an asian guy
be the wheelchair guy, we don't have a wheelchair guy yet. remember the bk kids club? they had a wheelchair guy and that was the 90s. if you roll up in your wheelchair to pitchfork hq playing your guitar they'll be like "oh fuck we need a wheelchair guy" and you're fucking in

"I know because I grew up in Vancouver and half my high school was Korean or Chinese and the kind of shit I heard all the time was horrible. I used to walk around with my Chinese boyfriend and people would yell slurs out of cars."
whats your choice grimes toe gap? personally i'd go for between middle and "ring" toe.
why is nobody talking about this?
Most /mu/tants stopped liking mac after he got popular. I don't mind him though. Is his new album good? Should I check it out?
>>72594239
i think it's pretty great imo
>>72594239
It's worth a listen. He stepped up his game and changed up his sound.
This is a pretty album.
Thoughts?
listening to it now, im feelin it
>>72594238

The only "good" bands are those that have good b-sides
>>72594133
them, the smiths, oasis and thats the only ones that come to mind rn
>>72594180
What about Suede?
>>72594133
Green Day's b-side album was pretty good
Better than a few of their actual albums
Poppy and/or groovy psych/indie rock songs from 2016/2017?
Looking for shit I can play in front of normies that are somewhat aware of "indie/alt" shit that gets played on the radio and like mac demarco, tame impala hits, etc
>>72593989
cant think of any psych stuff but if you want a indie kind of maybe motion city soundtrack kind of sound you can try "thisistoodifficult" small band but pretty good in my opinion
>>72593989
lizard wizard desu
Pond - Colder Than Ice
it's what currents should have sounded like
I hate her.

Okay /mu/ listen up
I have gf who is massively into Metal and am forced to go to a Metal festival in 2 months time.
Thing is , I hate the culture and see it as a teenage phase but am willing to give it a try (Dat pussy game ridiculous)
I mostly like entry level /mu/ shit like Animals Collected, meme Grips,and The Radioheads, that whole shitty chart basically as well as dadcore (Yes, King Crimson, Beach Boys, Bowie)
TLDR: what kind of not-so-cringeworthy metal would you recommend to a pretentious normie scum
Your girlfriend has better taste than you
>>72601751
>metal
>good taste
pick one.
>>72601695
How does the Hyde man do it?
Tripfags, you must think you're hot shit to be attention whoring on a website that's meant for anonymity. Post you're core charts. Let's see if you're really worthy of being known. You'll be judged on
>how creative you get with a your chart
>If you use shilled albums and / or entry level /mu/ albums
> how many albums you have in other languages
>how genre varied the chart is
And whatever other shit anons can judge . Only tripfags summit .
I guess tripfags are too pussy to submit anything
>>72601419
>these things define a taste in a subjective medium
>chart creativity
Why did I stop by /mu/ today? Just fucking like music holy shit.

Starting to get into ambient music. It feels very good tbqh. Too bad I haven't got much free time to listen to music.
>>72601248
You might enjoy some of Liszt's hungarian rhapsodies. If that's not for you, try Chopin's Piano Concerto no. 2
>>72601287
Don't know what to rec besides the fact that Enya is a poor's man Loreena Mckennitt IMO. Both good tho'
>>72601384
I once had this dream where I talked to my dad about loreena mckennitt and he said he was a fan and he had some cds
I'm still not sure if it was really a dream though

arent lyrics supposed to be heard on the album and not looked up on the internet?
>>72600424
Is looking them up taboo for you? Personally if I really like the album, I'll check out the lyrics on the internet since when listening I mostly focus on the music.
