I have to admit, a lot of you guys really suck when it comes

I don't understand if it's all memeing or what but it gets on my nerves. To me music is supposed to be about the soul of it, the feeling it gives you. It sucks all the fun out when people are prattling on about why a track is bad musically. I don't like metal but I don't think anyone who likes it objectively likes bad music.

this thread was a lot of words to say nothing at all

you wanna talk music, you gotta write poetry
not gonna say any more than that

>>68745148
this opinion is objectively bad
off yourself kiddo

>>68745148
I agreed until you said "limits a lot of people". No it fucking doesn't. You don't know much music theory yourself do you?

As someone who also holds subjective views on music, I get most of what you're saying, but I lurk a lot and I have never seen anybody shit on music for its structure. Not even in jazz and classical threads.

Often, I have the discussion of subjectivity with people, and it almost always ends up with the person telling me "well yeah, it's just my opinion when I say 'bad' or 'good'". Honestly, I think most people just lack the ability to articulate themselves or haven't committed enough time to thinking about the philosophical side of music. I consider myself lucky to have been surrounded by musicians and exposed to the culture, and I see those who haven't as just people in other walks of life.

The only places I've heard such rigid prescriptivism in regards to music were in classrooms, where the teachers explained the historical context behind the criticisms, yet didn't push these criticisms as universal views, or even views of their own.

Of course, theory aside, a lot of anons on this board seem deluded enough to think that certain types of music are inherently superior, but I haven't seen any who back up these claims with any theory. I assume these claims are based on personal reactions to certain sounds and lyrics. I get the frustration with this shit.

As for the theory side, I suggest checking out this video: https://youtu.be/49alQj7c5ps

Also, I'm trying not to be contrarian, but I would argue that your opinion on Corey Feldman is far from pure objectivism. I'll explain my thoughts if you want.

I'm not OP, but I'm drunk as shit and have nothing better to do, so I'm down to read a defense of Corey Feldman's album.

/mu/ has gotten me closer to woman than I could have ever hoped. Out of all the niche subjects I know about music has given me a common interest with girls and people and has helped me a lot. Example Modest mouse's the lonesome crowded west helped me spark a relationship with a girl at a house party while I was browsing her itunes playing music. Even though /mu/ is pretentious and I am not into field recordings it has introduced me to the rabbit hole of music going places I would of never found.

>I am not into field recordings
this is a deal breaker for me

It is subjective but this is 4chan. People have always pursued the "this is good and if you don't like it, you have shit taste and your opinion is worthless, pleb" line of discourse when it comes to almost any topic (as you well know, with that /tv/ image).

The only problem with this board is the lack of variety in discussion. People here consider their respective tastes eclectic but the problem is that almost everyone has the same 'eclectic taste' which limits the range of things people talk about.

And your opinion is objectively bad, it's like saying that food only needs to taste good, it's a shallow tought.
