Can we discuss how shitty rap music really is? Give me one reason that rap is not the most degenerate genre of widely listened to music existing on the earth today.
Lyrical content is absolute cancer and the stereotype of it all being about "money and hoes" is suddenly accurate.
>one time I looked up the lyrics to a rap song and almost every line had "nigger" at the end of it, not that hard to rhyme the same word faggots
Rap is poisoning what could be good civilized people due to its low tier language, excessive cussing, small perspective lyrical content, and easy access to all.
And we haven't even touched ground on trap music with its machine gun sounding background beats that plague literally every song resulting in extreme bore after listening to it for more then 10 minutes.
Black people have created exceptional works of art within the world of music (pic related, just listen to the final track and you'll see what I mean) but rap is the lowest form of anything that they have come up with. Why does it still exist.

listen, if hip hop (or rap whatever you want to call it) isn't for you, that's fine. but you don't have to go over generalizing the entire genre based off of a few shitty songs you hear.
And maybe i just speak for myself on this one but trap music for some is just fun to listen to. if i happen to listen to trap music in the car or while im cleaning or something im not going to be analyzing the lyrics for some greater meaning. its just dumb hype shit, and nobody is trying to convince anyone otherwise.
Because it's not bro country
Actually I guess bro country hasn't killed anyone

I cannot get into shoegaze. Reck me something other than loveless to get me into the genre
psub
If you don't dig Loveless, try
Slowdive - Souvlaki
Ride - Nowhere
Medicine - Shot Forth Self Living
Chapterhouse - Whirlpool
Lush - Spooky
If none of those five (+ Loveless) do it for you, I just don't think it's the genre for you m8
Whirr - Sway
Lilys - In The Presence Of Nothing
Planning For Burial - Desideratum
Stop listening to rap

WHY ARE YOU SO FUCKING BOSSY?? JESUS CHRIST JUST SHUT UP
Why?
Open letter to Björk:
The reason why you started wearing all these retarded masks everywhere and rarely give any interviews anymore is because you look old as fuck and you can't cope with it. You're not fooling anyone.
Sincerely yours,
Anon
she wears the masks because they're cool and were designed by her best friend. i doubt bjork cares about aging.
she doesn't give that many interviews anymore because she literally has no fucks to give, but last year she gave one of her best interviews ever (the pitchfork one).
>>69307194
She does interviews all the time if you look for them. She was on Icelandic TV the other night, the mask is hardly covering her face so I really doubt it's about aging: http://www.ruv.is/frett/med-hofudid-inni-i-staersta-leiksvidi-heims
She might as well not be wearing one.
No she wears the masks because if she were to take them off it would be extremely painful

Rank them.
TLCW=PFNO>Bee Thousand>>>Crooked Rain
Bottom two are interchangeable #1, followed by PFNO and CRCR
Prove me wrong
>>69306782
Crooked Rain > Bee Thousand = PFNO > TLCW
Crooked, BT and PFNO are 10/10 for me. TLCW is 9/10.
Animal Collective is legitimately one of the worst bands of all time.
This is what happens when a bunch of faux-artsy numales really want to be cool and different but are too dumb and uninteresting to do it any way possible and also think they're too good for anything that conveys any kind of emotion. Or is catchy. Or is written well. Or has anything redeeming.
Listening to this god-awful band is like having an 8th grader beat me over the head with a finger painting. It is so contrived it's agonizing. These guys so hard to be artsy it sounds like the members have veigns popping out of their forehead.
It goes out of its way to be different because it has no other ways to be interesting and the way it's different is just random bullshit. It's lame as fuck and them cranking that factor up to 11 doesn't change that.
I don't expect any kind of rebuttal because their fans are the worst kind of hipsters that act like babies when someone doesn't like what they like and think insulting someone is an argument.
Hows your first day listening to music going? Have you found anything you like?
I don't like them either but you should just accept that people like the indie sound a lot and not try that hard to piss people off.
Ok Dad
discus jazz and things and whatnot. i'm thinking of doing a twitch where i jam on the piano and you people make fun of me. interest?

More people need to listen to and acknowledge David Bowie's work in the 90's.
Earthling & Hours are completely underrated classics, and Outside is quite possibly his greatest album.
>>69306337
I love Bowie but everything about that look is embarrassing
Was Billy bending his knees there? Cause he's much taller than them in reality
>>69306430
Seems that way, David's a six footer; I can agree that his Earthling look wasn't very flattering, at least by Hours he tamed it down
Are these the best albums ever released?
that's the most random assortment of 7/10s ive ever seen
>>69306291
yikes!

Breh...
have one on me, anon
Such a shit album from such a shit artist
have two on me, OP.

TWO THINGS
What are /mu/'s thoughts on this album?
I like about a half of it
The best in their discography, literally no weak track besides For Martha
Great album but goddamn it was hard to make an album after the commercial and critical success of Melon Collie.
Hey /mu/ I'm choosing a band name for a serious music project (this is srs) Please help:
Original band name for like a emo, post hardcore band was "Abandoning Eden" but my producer is suggesting "Abandon Eden" or just "Eden". "Abandonded Eden". Kinda sounds like Chiodos but with modern tones.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
I can not understand this post
I had a band name but outside forces are suggesting before I launch the project I need to change the name and it's doing my head in

>serious music project
>yet I am not creative enough to think of a name
