Why do so called "patricians" (fuck that word) value the avant garde over more traditional and popular forms of music? Why do they also seem to cling on to the same albums that get posted by other "cultured" people here? Take that machine gun brotzmann album for instance. You do know he's produced a fuckton of other music, right? With a swarm of other musicians no less? Here's my guess: they like this music simply for their meme status on this board and RYM. They have no care for more popular music because it can only bring them enjoyment. Anything even remotely left in the margins will not bring them status. It has no value to them because they do not enjoy music for musics sake. Ironically the "higher forms" (not to say the avant garde isn't extremely worthwhile and compelling, it is) is not at all explored by these folk. They simply have no interest in it. This is most likely because they cannot absorb it's actual content. They are the "plebs" they hate so much, as they can only showcase all the novel, important albums they are supposed to like.
