Nu-metal was the nadir of late 20th century American youth culture.
I can't think of many genres or movements in music that are entirely irredeemable, but nu-metal is definitely one of them.

teenagehood is growing out of metal

adulthood is never thinking about metal

Why is 1900-1930s jazz not as well regarded as every derivative genre that followed?
It's clearly superior

>>68588990
Are you joking? Because I actually think that's somewhat true.

Not at all. Some early jazz bands had imaginative orchestration and an intoxicating rhythm.
Loosening the structure and dragging the lines too far transformed the genre into a meme

Musical quality is objective. Art is an objective form, and those who opposes the objectivity of art are those who don't have the intelligence to understand it. An example of this is food, or the culinary arts. Certain food taste shit, while other types of food tastes really delicious. One person can easily tell the difference between a poorly made dish and a very excellently made dish, as the poorly made dish occupies a disgusting, revolting aesthetic with also a taste that, instead of providing a desirable taste, produces a taste that degrades the tongue with its very poor quality; the well made dish to a person has a very beautiful aesthetic, whilst also having a very desirable taste to the tongue. This spectrum of shit and good is evident in music quality, as shit music (pop, rap) and good music (classical, rock) has a great difference in quality; shit music has little to no structure and musical complexity and aesthetic while good music has the properties of beautiful sonic aesthetic and masterfully made song structure. Music is objective.

Maybe it's because they've always been a silly, pseudo-comedy group but I don't think they get the respect they deserve.

When Paul McCartney says you could out sing the Beatles any day then you'd think people would listen to more than the Big Bang theme.

Are you seriously implying that suit wasn't tailor-made and designed specifically for him and that there are no other suits quite like that on existence?

How innocent
