Someone redpill me on Chinese opera please. I actually couldn't believe what I was hearing, it's literally cat level screeching for hours to the sound of pots and pants falling in the background.

Compared to the Western opera standard which universally held as beautiful, is there something I'm missing here?
Thoughts?
How did this 'art' even survive after the Chinese revolution?
She sounds like a dericate rittle flower, what are you talking about
You should consider the fact that Western opera sounds like aids to alot of Easterners
I mean I know they're typically related to the "dad rock" meme, but I honestly do like their music. It's simple but always catchy and never really boring. I do however agree that they are definitely overrated
they should be called "The Four Losers", am I right?
Can't you form your own opinions without looking for approval on a chinese cartoon image board?

Just wanted to hear some other opinions on them man
It's amazing how one band can top an entire genre, while simultaneously ruin it at the same time
Yea
but it's not that good

The only thing they ruined is the chances of anyone else topping them

Lost my dad less than 8 hours ago. Fumbling around trying to find something familiar to cope. Can I get music suggestions to help me remember him? Rock preferred.

You might as well try and nip it in the bud right now.
Good luck OP
Is it better to have attempted and failed, or to have never attempted at all?
Failure is an opportunity to learn from mistakes.
From a personal perspective: yes
From an outsider/consumer perspective: no

Songwriting thread
Post songs you've written.
Talk about your songwriting process.
What're you're biggest songwriting influences?
Etc etc
>>69593670
>Post songs you've written.
Nothing high quality enough to share.
>Talk about your songwriting process.
Mess around with different things, wait until I hear something I like, and expand upon it.
>What're you're biggest songwriting influences?
"In the moment", pretty much nothing at all. I just try to get into the zone and see where it takes me. I don't try to think of specific feelings or memories or concepts most of the time.
Of course, subconsciously I'm probably influenced by every artist I like and the albums I've listened to within the past few days.
>>69594050
I encourage you to post what you have even if you don't think it's high quality enough I'd love to hear it and i can give some feedback to help you improve!
>>69594197
Sure, thanks for the offer. I don't really have a completed song yet, but here's a random melody I "wrote" (read: fucked with random keys on the keyboard and then consolidated everything) recently. It'd have some other things in the arrangement when in the finished song.
I don't really like it much by itself but in the context of the track I'm working on it does its job. Feel free to be as harsh or nitpicky as you like with your feedback.

I listened to it again the other day after a few years and damn it's so good. Especially the first half.
Both Let Down and Exit Music have some of the best climaxes in music.
