For one to have good taste, a certain level of originality is necessary. Your taste is an expression of your self, and it's every artistically conscious person's duty to pay just as much attention to the art they consume as the art they make.

This isn't to say that you must base your opinions around art that will make you seem interesting, like this poster-->>7938517. The psued will shine through if you try too hard. Good taste in art is casual and instinctive, yet unquestionably an expression of the self. Your artistic value and the level of knowledge you've acquired about art is reflected in your taste.

Take for example, Nabokov--he has perfect taste in literature, yet he challenges every convention of what is expected of proper taste by appreciating art not only for its emotional value but also its abstract content and technical ability, while simultaneously rejecting art for its failures in these categories. When the average person dismisses Faulkner they are a moron, but when Nabokov does it, it's a demonstration of superior familiarity with the conventions of literature. When you lean too hard on emotional value, especially if you don't know much about literature or whatever medium you're studying, then your underdeveloped mind will be completely obvious, as will your taste.

Basically what I'm trying to say is that Nabokov and I are better than you because we are smarter and superior artists.

>>7938638

>I don't care much for live albums in general, its a shittier quality version of a song stretched out unnecessarily.
I remember thinking this way too. It changed when I started to go to concerts more and learn guitar myself. The energy of a studio album just comes nowhere near that of a live jam.

>>7940436
Lol you sound retarded some people actually enjoy that shit, its not about being edgy. I genuinely enjoy Throbbing Gristle an have for years. The problem is that your analyzing it in the same way that you would other music that conforms to the rules if Western music theory. Shit like Throbbing Gristle is more about the timbre and layers. If you learn to appreciate sensory experience in general you'll understand what I mean. Aesthetic beauty permeates the whole world, its nit just restricted to man made art or food or etc. I enjoy Throbbing Gristle in the same way that one might enjoy the sounds that accompany a hoke through the woods in the winter or the bustling noise of a city street. If you don't understand or appreciate what Im saying them that only because you have yet to recognize all the wonderful forms of unstructured beauty that occur in the natural world. Moreover, as I mentioned before, a bug part of music like that is the layers of sound. A lot of music is compose and even edited in ways that are really subtle. For example if you listen to a piece by a band like In/humanity or Swans, there's actually a fuckload of shit that you wont pick up on you first list or even your hundredth. Their are a lot of really subtle sounds and auditory trinkets that are camouflaged by the main body of the work, and are extremely difficult to notice, especially if sober.
>>7940437
Also nice bait. By adult music you either mean shit like Dido or Alanis Morissette, in which case your an uber-philistine, or you mean shit like classical in which case your a pseudo-intellectual that only pretends to appreciated classical. Either way you're a philistine with no tastes. Besides its ironic that you think I'm a pleb, when I can almost guarantee I'm more intelligent and doing more with my life than you are or ever will. Enjoy shit posting on 4chan, majoring in creative writing at some shitty as private university, and reading shitty ass second rate literature and dadaist poetry for the rest of your life.

Shut up faggot. Everyone on /lit/ thinks they're so cool, but you guys are really just pompous faggots. When I get home, I'm going to upload a YouTube video breaking down your guys'' bullshit piece by piece and will thereby embarrass the entirety of /lit/. Just wait for it at 3:30/2:30 central. You guys are all a lot more stupid then you realize.

I can see why people dont like it. Its really harsh and stuff but the guitar work is interesting. Not in that its really technical or anything, but a lot of the chords are really interesting and unusual and the progressions are really dissonant, actually more so than anything else I've heard. Not to mention it has a lot of energy. Tbh though a lot of the shit on this thread has harsh vocals. Music like this would sound gay with clean vocals though. Its something you get used to if your into hardcore or metal.

>>7940987
dont try to reason with ppl who are used to radio music. as your last sentence said, it is something one has to learn to listen.

explaining to radio fags what skramz or fastcore is is like explaining in english a monolingual chinese why he cant understand english.

Pale Fire and Morton Feldman's Rothko Chapel; Why Patterns?

Ahh so the dick measuring contest to see who can post the most obscure screamo/hardcore has begin. Very well, challenge accepted. I summon Shroomunion, a band from the most obscure depths of the 90s underground. http://youtu.be/4FJU09KHIm8

Btw good choice with Nation of Ulysses. Why can't we agree that Orchid is a pretty coil guy too though?

Great book, pretty good album/artist. However that shits not a true classic. Don't get me wrong, Yung Lean is talented and enjoyable. However, his music doesn't have the true intricacy and subtlety of a classic album. Like you can't seriously compare Yung Lean to artists like Fugazi, Jethro Tull, John Coltrane, or Chopin.

I actually agree, I was mostly memeing. I really like Lean but in terms of the album I'm not sure I would consider it "all-time favourite album" material. Who knows if I'll still be listening to it in 10 years, probably not if I'm honest.

>Implying Joy Division and Throbbing Gristle are pop.

This thread is half retards that don't know shit about music, and half people with respectable tastes that are wasting their time arguing with people that probably don't even know what a semitone is.

If all you listen to is pop (i.e. almost anything on non-public/non-college radio), then you should try to broaden your horizons and learn to appreciate more than just hooks. If you're one of those type that only likes classical or jazz, you should stop trying so hard, and realize that music didn't stop being good when Shostakovitch died.

Good piece right here for the non-plebs of the thread: https://youtu.be/WcOE20oNsME

Anyway in terms of my favorite authors, I like Lewis Carol, Franz Kafka, and Fyodor Dostoevsky. If I had to pick a single favorite book, I'd say The brother Karamazov. Favorite album is a lot harder to pick - actually impossible - but one of my favorites is pic related.

Not the same guy, but I've heard the same shit from several reliable sources. Its not an academic journal but here's one for instance: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/science-news/7279626/Audiences-hate-modern-classical-music-because-their-brains-cannot-cope.html

I just Google "neuroscience atonal music". If you know more about the subject, I'm sure it would be easy to find similar results. I mean intuitively it makes sense anyway, but I don't really know much science/neuroscience (at least not on an academic level, I take some interest in it, but only on the level of pop-science).

funnily enough the theme of power and trying to balance justice with acceptable tyranny without succumbing to corruption is a good fit for Dune.

You, Schulze anon, I have a question. I recently downloaded Schulze's "Dreams" and the mix sounds pretty weird. If you've heard the album, is it really mixed differently from his other works or did I download a shitty torrent?

There's virtually nothing wrong with that use of the term "For one."

Damn anon. Ever since i was 16 Sunday At The Village Vanguard has been my favorite piece of music. I even learned jazz piano because i got so inspired from that album. I'm 23 now and i still, honestly, believe this album represents music at is deepest and most advanced level yet to be heard.

You're not being truthful to anything in your writing. Does that sound "learned" to you? Because it stinks of undergratuate dissertation proposals. Just fucking write something REAL instead of creating this puerile waste that you don't even really enjoy.

Come on man. You understand others can like things for different reasons, right?
TG had some fun stuff. They had some cool ambient electronic stuff that sounded like Tangerine Dream. There is also something super fun about songs like discipline. It's just so messy and hyper.
Maybe you're too sophisticated to like stuff like that, but it is the same appeal as some of Jimi Hendrix's more messy stuff. Yeah there's no melody, but it is just fun.
