Am I a pleb for listening to what I like instead of what's highly praised on /mu/ and RYM?
Yeah
>>68402061
yes
the thing is though, you have always been a pleb so it's natural instinct. Now, in the wise words of the NEETS over at >>>/r9k/
REEEEEE NORMIE GET FUCK OFF OF MY BOARD
>>68402092
>>68402098
But I like some /mu/core artists, It's just that I listen to stuff that isn't talked much on /mu/ or is disliked here.
>>68402098
name some artists/albums anon, redeem yourself. heres your chance
>>68402116
You're alllllright.
>>68402061
As a rule of thumb,if i see an album on rym top 1000 or any pitchfork/rolling stone/nme list or any chart on the chart threada then i don't include it among my favorites.
>>68402208
The Brave Little Abacus, SULK, Red Sparowes, Lil Yachty, Yung Lean, Bones, Ozric Tentacles, Duet Emmo, GreyscaleSound, Guitar

simply liking is for plebs anon, Goethe hated that word, it's the worst possible approach, it makes you shallow, there are thousands possible relations to art, being patrician is all about caring about other values than simple pleasure, not being just consumer of another product
also fuck capitalism and culture industry
No, You're a pleb for being an anti intellectual shit ball with no taste
As long as your taste is uniquely developed (i.e. not influenced by other's opinions) and deeply invested in at least two or three genres, then you're patrician.
>>68402544
not true, unique taste means nothing, it's just individualistic bullshit, bunch of dickheads who are ensuring themselves how fucking special they are
OH LOOK HOW I'M NOT LISTENING TO ANYBODY, NOBODY INFLUENCES ME, I AM SO FREE IN MY DECISIONS AND OF COURSE ORIGINAL
being patrician is about appreciating influence, not denying it
OP What makes you think /mu/tants who listen to /mu/core and rym listen to music they don't like?
Of course they listen to music they like which just happens to be /mu/core for some people
>>68402651
you're just delusional if you actually think that all people with unique taste only do it for the sake of being unique
>>68402061
yeah probs, what the fuck does it matter though?
>>68402651
The self-gratification that one gets from knowing that they listen to "influential" music is just as bad as that which comes from having "unique taste."
The only difference is that the person with unique taste can probably bring more interesting/insightful knowledge to a music discussion from sheer novelty alone
>>68402817
regarding uniqueness as an important value is being retarded individualist
that was my point
it's also funny, because people with unique taste don't care about being unique
>>68402994
>because people with unique taste don't care about being unique
I know what you're saying, but the wording of this actually contradicts everything that you're trying to say.
>>68402976
of course it is, there is no glory in being a sheep looking for shepherd, but no one is born as a shepherd my friend
>>68403044
it may appear as a contradiction but I just wanted to aptly express the obvious paradox
mfw /mu/ is getting /lit/
