Can we agree that for the most part he was a cringy reddit-tier

I don't like him. He has this macho aura that turns me off completely

he's a very talented musician

>>72123801
A few of his albums are pretty good. Some are mediocre and I would say the majority are bad.

His whole "persona" is the worst though. His interviews and quotes truly are cringy highschool pseudo intellectual-tier

>>72123801
go listen to more music you pathetic pleb

zappa is currently the most underrated musician on /mu/

>>72123951
He was very special, indeed. His experimentalism was top-notch, probably the best experimentalism outside classical.

It's true. He was the first "socially [le]beral, fiscally conservative" politically-illiterate "libertarian" Redditor dumbass.

>Liberals are attacking an entire career of an artist just because he was a libertarian

Fucking scum.

>>72124512
Really? He was the first libertarian? I didn't know he invented libertarianism. That's interesting.

>>72124540
you do realise that liberals are pretty much just libertarians too right?

richard dawkins and stefan molyneux of music

You do realize that you probably got brain cancer, right?

Liberals = Socialism/Communism, strong state
Libertarians = Capitalism, weak state

Can you imagine anybody but Redditors enjoying this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiu6DFXeF9A

>>72124686
I wouldn't know anything about redditors but Zappa has a massive, diverse discography so I imagine he has albums that a variety of different people might enjoy.

Personally, I don't like much of his music after 78. Like most 60s musicians, he didn't adjust to the 80s well.

You must be over 18 to post in this site

>>72124686
haha redditors :DDDDD right???

ugh, imagine the kind of douchebag who listens to this, then pulls up his cringe interviews where he talks about how edgy he is for not trusting people and liking sex (with women!)

Can't we just all agree that people who like Zappa are well-adjusted with diverse musical tastes, and that people who don't like zappa deserve to be whipped mercilessly?

>>72125231
I can agree with that, even tho I don't consider myself well adjusted.

Anyway, this thread is shit.

>tfw Zappa will always be the ultimate pleb filter

Feels good to be patrician desu

>>72124784

Believing that liberal = communism is the textbook definition of a dumbass American opinion

>>72125093
Look, I don't dislike all of Zappa's music (I love Hot Rats and a lot of his mothers work) but calling that song a brilliant satire is a bit of a stretch. The song is a wicked low hanging fruit.

Its not so much how wrong you are, but how confident you are about it

>>72126210

it worked. It was accurate and hit a nerve and was his biggest hit...and disproves the original claim to which I replied that he didnt "adjust" to the 80s well.

>cringy highschool pseudo intellectual tier

This is such an overused insult it's crazy.

Can you explain to me how he's a cringy highschool tier pseud?

Why do people who don't like Zappa feel the need to shit all over his fans and music? Are they really that insecure? Most people just say "I don't like this" when they don't like something.

>>72123902

Good. He would've ended up as an obscure guitarist that no one knew of. Instead, he put out some great fuckin records.

Frank Zappa was a CONSERVATIVE and was more than willing to point out that fact on many occasions.
