January is almost over...
The anti-poseurcore movement is what /mu/ needs. Music should always be seen on one field. We need less elitism not more.
Why? It creates discussion.
There is no such thing as entry-level and such, only good and bad albums that are subjective. People need to stop acting like /mu/core and well known and well liked indie albums are somehow bad because a lot of people like and respect them. That shows insecurity with your own taste.
That being said, go exploring, go like whatever music you want to like, but don't rub it in the face of others that you have different taste. Talk about it with them, say "hey I found this cool album if you like _______ you should check it out".
Our mission is simple. We want to end the pathetic competition for "good" taste on /mu/ that the nu-males on /daily/ created. Music should be for fun, not for showing off. Enjoy music for music. Poseurs will hang.
Dear reader, we would like to take this opportunity to inform you on a regrettable subculture which has been forming on our beloved /mu/.
>WHAT IS THEIR NAME?
Poseurs.
>WHAT IS THEIR DEAL?
Poseurs are people who go out of their way to cultivate an image of being interesting, by and large through doing their best to cultivate a "sophisticated" music taste.
HOWEVER, as these people have no self-sufficiency of their own, or any knowledge or familiarity with music beyond the pop sphere presented on sites such as Pitchfork, the best they can do to cultivate that image is to go on RateYourMusic and sheepishly drone the top-rated albums of whatever niche genre they think will bring them the most "patrician" or "underground" or "sophisticated" credibility.
IF you were to question them on the merit an album they claim to be a favorite, they would not be able to provide any substantial opinion or judgment regarding it(only empty buzzwords which they regurgitate without ever giving any thought to what they mean or how they relate to that artist) as in reality they have none of the knowledge which would help them to properly evaluate it.
The vast majority of them don't know music theory or have any sort of education(whether through personal exploration or professional education) on music/art history and have no familiarity with the origins, backgrounds and histories of their "favorite" genres, albums and artists. Their education begins and ends with RYM pages and lists and /mu/ chart thread images.
More effort goes into building up the perfect "patrician" RYM profile and curve using the perfect combination of albums and ratings than into actually trying to understand and genuinely appreciate what they are hearing.
This utter dilettantism and ignorance, however, does not prevent them from nurturing severe superiority complexes which serve as fuel for regular mockery, ridicule and debasement of the rest of this fine board's residents.
Super ae is a fun album idk why it's on the chart

Hey anons. I wanted to ask you for some good vaporwave album. As we all know its the first relevan art movement of the century but the only good album i ve heard of the gerne is Blank Banshee 0, a total masterpiece. Mega was a dissapointment. So what album is at level with the philosophical relevance the movement has?
Disconcious - Hologram Plaza
This album makes me feel all of what vapor is about, i just love it
Take a look of Virtual dream as well on soundcloud i liked it a lot

>>70661505
Thank you!!! This is the first vaporwave album I've listened to and I love it.
I have trouble writing songs. I can riff all day and make cool shit but I cant remember the riffs after i play them. I just dont think when im riffing and cool stuff comes out sometimes.
How do I become able to write the cool riffs so i can make songs with them.
when ever i write shit now it always seems super boring
general song writing thread i guess
