You'll notice it says concept album. Here's the concept:
"Zen Arcade tells the story of a young man who runs away to escape a miserable and abusive home life ("Broken Home, Broken Heart", "Never Talking to You Again"). The character briefly joins the military ("Chartered Trips"), turns to religion ("Hare Krsna"), and seems to find a tenuous peace through love ("Somewhere") before losing his girlfriend to drugs ("Pink Turns to Blue").[8] He reaches a point of despair, ultimately concluding that he won't be able to change his circumstances ("Newest Industry", "Whatever") before waking up to find that the whole odyssey had occurred in his subconscious during a night of troubled sleep; the challenges of his life—for better or worse—remain in front of him ("The Tooth Fairy and the Princess", "Turn on the News"). "Reoccurring Dreams", a disorienting 14-minute instrumental that reprises a shorter instrumental interlude ("Dreams Reoccurring"), closes the album."

it means you're gay for liking it

welcome to the club, faggot

>>70404124
obviously a reference to 2/3 of the band being gay, but kind of odd considering the album features an explicitly heterosexual relationship

>>70405192
you mean "why their son turned out wrong"? could be, but by that point of the story the protagonist lost her girlfriend (woman) to drugs and is pretty much lost about his life, so he could be saying he is sorry about that and not being homo

desu it's very ambiguous imo and doesn't fully present itself as a homosexual tale (the relationship presented is hetero, in fact) so i guess the tag comes from association to the musicians.

>>70404124
Do descriptors only show up for people signed into RYM? I go on there on occasions and the 'descriptors' section is always blank.

>>70405363
>Do descriptors only show up for people signed into RYM?
No. I don't have a RYM account.
>I go on there on occasions and the 'descriptors' section is always blank.
Perhaps only albums that are popular (have lots of ratings on RYM) have descriptors.

>>70405486
lgbt has nothing to do with the music.

>>70405486
Nope.
>Planned to listen to the album.
>Check it out on RYM.
>Wonder how the LGBT tag correlates to the album.
>Try to find a connection.
>There's no correlation.
:thinking:

>>70405423
Thanks for the help. Turns out it was just certain albums I were looking at that didn't have descriptors.

>>70405544

>help me /mu/, them gays are coming to get me
Good thread, very music related

>>70406339
almost as music related as that descriptor

>>70406339
OP has a point tho.

probably a lot of people here are resentful about gays, but despite that they are right about the descriptor being inaccurate

>>70406405
Why shouldn't I be able to search for music by gay artists?

If it bothers you so much, you can filter it out using that tag too.
Without the tag you sensitive types wouldn't be able to tell whether you are supposed to get triggered by the music or not!

Decibelle, the next time you search for your username in the archive, I want you to know you'll never be a real woman and at best can only pass as a transgender Morton Feldman

>>70406263

only gays would use the site

>>70406488
>Why shouldn't I be able to search for music by gay artists?
because its a music descriptor not an artist descriptor.

>>70406488
>Why shouldn't I be able to search for music by gay artists?
you are right, we should. hopefully they'll add artist descriptors in the future

in the mean time, there are lists compiled by users about LGBT musicians. probably not as complete but hey, better than forcing a theme in an album that doesn't have to do with it.

>>70406591
There are no artist descriptors

Besides, it's an album by gay musicians. Thus the descriptor describes the album.

>>70406650
>forcing a theme in an album that doesn't have to do with it.
So the fact that some users on a website called an album gay makes you somehow "forced" to acknowledge that "theme" and therefore unable to enjoy the music? It must be hard to be so sensitive, brah

>>70404124
>RYM is a sjw circle jerk

In other news the sky is fucking blue

>>70406695
not him but you are pulling shit right out of your ass and putting it into his mouth

>>70406678
nothing about the album is gay. should male be a descriptor for the album because it was made by males? should white?

>>70406488
>Why shouldn't I be able to search for music by gay artists?

That's not the point m8

The point is that Zen Arcade has nothing to do with LGBT themes, other than the fact that the artists involved are gay.

>>70406732
This.

Stop putting your fucking agenda where it doesn't belong. Nobody else does this bullshit beside you lgbt people.

>>70406678
>There are no artist descriptors
and there should, but the fact that they are not there doesn't imply forcing that feature on album descriptors
>it's an album by gay musicians. Thus the descriptor describes the album.
not all the band was gay, but how does that even work? let's add an "american" tag then as well, since that one is a characteristic of the musicians. also a "male" tag, probably a "young" tag (because they were) and so on. those are all traits of the musicians, so they are as legitimate as LGBT.
>>70406695
>unable to enjoy the music
what are you even on about? am i being "trolled"? be a bit more mature, my friend.
this doesn't have anything to do with enjoyment of the album (which i love), it doesn't have to do with the lgbt community (which i support); it's just that the damn thing doesn't belong there. as i said: some people may legitimately hold resentment towards gays, but that doesn't change the fact that they are right

>>70406730
Male is literally one of the descriptors

>>70406804
why are you lying?

Unrelated question- Is there a way to search for albums on RYM by a descriptor? That would be a really convenient feature.

>>70406969
pretty sure that's supposed to come with the fabled "sonemic"

>>70406980
Has there been any recent updates by the people making it?

the descriptor function is pretty awful, honestly

>>70406804
It's male vocals. Male vocals refers to the music. LGBT does not refer to the music.

>>70407018
idk i haven't been looking for any
last official estimate for a beta release was April 2016 i think though so yeah
