Let's have a meta thread about /mu/! What do you think of

I hate this place so much that even when I see something that I agree with it pisses me off

Bring tripfag culture back
No I'm not kidding

>>72125278
>Bring tripfag culture back
this is probably the only thing that could save the board, there needs to be certain gatekeepers of quality to keep things in check

Nobody talks about music. People talk about musicians, gossip and personality of artists. But any understanding of music as a medium is nonexistent. It is possibly the most cucked board on 4chan. There is so much asshurt, it makes my ass hurt.

It's okay for finding new music, but the pretentious culture surrounding /mu/core is nearly unbearable.

>>72125278
>>72125297
tripfag culture is alive and well but it's confined itself to one single general (/daily/) which is bad for itself and arguably /mu/ as a whole

>>72125297
the trips here are so boring and faceless that the culture is actively getting worse
remember how much more fun things were with cooltop and tourist, and more recently antz and friendo?

even if they were good or total shit, it was entertaining as fuck to have them shitting up this place. hell even Montie wasn't that bad in retrospect.

Ban discussion of Kendrick Lamar until at least a month after his album has dropped. Failing that, make a sticky and delete any other threads to contain all Kendrick discussion until hype has died down. Hip hop is slowly ruining this board by bringing in brainlet teenagers who listen to nothing but meme rap.

There's having bad taste and then there's "ITAOTS just isn't my thing". The latter should not equal the former, especially if you can say that while you didn't like a certain album, you can appreciate it from a critical viewpoint

i wasn't here for that antz phase, but he was obviously one of the better posters back in ~09 as well

honestly an awful place to discuss music. everybody has a crazy superiority complex and thinks they are some music savant that is the only one who understands what is good and bad. if they disagree with you they call you a fucking retard pleb autist etc. not sure why i check here

I miss 2011 /mu/. This place doesn't feel the same anymore.

>>72125440

>>72125428
because it's nothing but tripfags. the premise of the thread demands it but no one gives a fuck about that anymore, now it's just like an alternate /mu/ for trips

>>72125428
most of the trips are either very annoying or newfags, they think anyone cares what they think of their of huge essay review on an obscure album the rest of /mu/ couldn't give a shit about.

pretty much sums this dumbass place up.

Unfortunately, it's still one of the better places to discuss. The rec threads are usually pretty good except too many lazyposters lately or entry level recs. The only other decent place are RYM forums.

Reddit is garbage for discussing because the way the site is set up anything outside of the typical norm gets buried or shit on because of a single downvote from some idiot. You can't even post discussion threads about specific artists unless they're in daily threads so no point in going there.

>>72125233
I wish people encouraged more active discussion instead of shitposting but there are good threads occasionally

>>72125548
what kind of dog is that

"containment" threads of cultures which largely stick to themselves are unironically the best threads on this board
like every other board, politics should be removed

>>72125513
before /daily/ trips had to be able to defend themselves against hordes of anons, which could lead to fun and interesting discussions/shitfests
/daily/ are a bunch of buddies who all listen to what the other likes, so it's kinda boring
/mu/ is only really good for butting heads

>>72125486
I frequent sputnikmusic and rym which are fairly good and they usually don't talk about the same 30 or so albums or artists which is one of the problems /mu/ has. Usually when I make a thread about an album I like that isn't too well known it'll get pruned in less than 30 minutes, which is one of the reasons I don't come to this board as often as I used to anymore.

>>72125513
>>72125526
Like I said, they're annoying and I just don't care for them. reviews are fine, but a lot of them are smug

/mu/ is shit. I made it better, uhhhhh mind machine broke ask later

you aren't posting reaction images most of the time though. you're deliberately doing it so people know who you are.

if i wanted people to know who i was i'd use a tripcode. reaction images are to make you know what i think

try again

Feels like an island board here sometimes, somewhere in between /tv/ and a gay board like /lit/. Like a combo culture. You have a handful of natives who only post here, a number of crossposters bringing fresh memes and amusements, then you have the serious listening maybe-poseurs coming in from other music sites. All three have to play a role or the whole thing will collapse into a /kpop/

>>72125551
If you don't think the Kendrick spam is a problem you're either a newfag who's contributing to it or a complete fucking retard. No other artist attracts as many underage retards to /mu/ so they can dedicate a new thread to every thought that pops into their head. Also please at least try to make your posts coherent next time.

Becoming a tripfag is basically the best way to ensure that your posts will be good and that the board will get better as a result

We need a black culture board, /bbc/, that would take all the Kanye and hip hop threads away from /mu/. Hip Hop becoming the dominant genre on /mu/ is what ruined everything all the blacktwitter memes make it even worse.

the problem isn't that hip hop is the dominant genre - it's not. the problem is there are 16 hip hop threads in the catalog right now and 8 are kendrick and 4 are xxxtentation or w/e the fuck his name is

>>72125310
What exactly do you want to talk about music? "This song is great" and "this song has 3 chords" blah blah blah, these sort of things? What is the entertainment value in that and what do you gain if you talk about this boring stuff?

>>72125873
Fair enough, but the underage users that only listen to hip hop that come on here don't fully understand board culture, or how it works. Which is why hip hop general threads never work, while every other genre manages to pull it off. By giving them a meme board to shit up, it would contain them from ruining everything else.

>don't fully understand board culture, or how it works
happens with every genre. some dude was reccing vampire weekend and demon days in the 4x4 thread yesterday...

a /rap/ board would be an interesting experiment for sure.

why does everyone complain about multiple kendrick threads but never about the multiple Lana or Grimes threads. is it because one of them is a qt?

>>72126041
People complain about both of those two things all the fucking time. Kendrick threads are more relevant right now though.

It's okay here but I hate seeing the same 200 or so albums over and over

Music discovery needs to be encouraged more here

>>72126041
>no one complains about Grimes threads

Are you serious? Half this board hates Grimes, myself included. But we do make our distaste for her known. Still Kendrick and XXX threads are much worse, because instead of responding to an already existing thread, these underage faggots just make a new thread not contributing anything new or unique.

why don't mods do anything ever

>>72125881
If you're a journo or take any journo seriously I cannot help you.

>>72126109

>>72126109
this is one of the main issues. i've seen some forced meme threads literally 100 times. the identical thread. but i guess it's not technically against the rules

a lot of the spam threads are just one person samefagging endlessly if you check the replies/posters. there's a guy who makes the annie hate threads. guy who makes xxx threads. there was the twenty one pilots poster

just between those three you have easily 1000 spam threads in the last year

>>72125791

I'm honestly tired of hip hop always over-taking discussion. I think it's because it's a lyrically focused genre (often), and so people can more easily talk about the lyrics and subject matter. People like talking about lyrics. So of course they're always going to talk about hip hop, always going to take about rappers and their feuds. It doesn't help that P4k covers hip hop more than most other genres now.

I don't have anything against hip hop, Im just tired of it being the dominant genre of discussion, for years and years. It's been this way since MBDTF dropped nearly 7 years ago and it's just continued on and on.

>>72126387
which discussions do you feel like it's overtaken other than hip hop specific threads and the spam posts?

just trying to genuinely ask since i haven't seen that.

genre /general/s are bad for the board

they are the only threads that will get discussion outside the /mu/core of their genres but it also means they're being contained allowing shitposting to run rampant and genres which aren't contained to take over.

There should be more than one thread for classical, jazz, bleeps and other genres not discussed, not just 20 rap and 30 rock

>>72126477
seems like people are pretty forgiving when jazz, classical, and bleep leak since those posters are civilized (aside from the obvious trolls).

maybe not even just a rap general but a kendrick general since those threads turn into shit in 5 seconds and there are 70 of them.

>>72125802

A-are Death Grips and NMH still a thing?

The sharethreads are good for finding obscure music sometimes.

I've found most of the music that I want to listen to from reccommendations over the years.

I think I like the Facebook group better than here now. There's less whiny shitposting and it works a bit better.

they were pretty good for a while and then TPAB was released and c u c k memes flooded the board and every discussion and people gave up. hasn't changed since unfortunately.

pretty sad considering kendrick offers quite a bit of discussion topics but no one wants to actually engage in discussion on either side so it devolves into either he's the greatest or he's literally garbage.

>>72126650
sparingly.

tripfags do nothing but halt actual discussion. the thing about anonymity on a site like this is, it's all or nothing. you seldom get any discussion when there's one faggot in a thread who has no special responsibility or role (like being an OP) shitting the place up constantly. look at chart threads and how many tripfags just use the opportunity to shit on one another. look at tripfags and how many have a shitty self important mindset. the only solution is to ban any tripping/namefagging except thread-specific tripping.

it's about having an elitist attitude, not faking liking some obscure band

scaruffi is fake elitist tho

>>72127804
Elitism encourages people to listen to the same set of pre-approved albums and to not try anything else because of the fear of being labeled as a pleb. Elitism in music really sucks. People should listen to whatever they want without being bullied because of their taste.

That pleb/patrician meme is the worst thing that happened on this board. Basically people are abusing it in a stupid manner: I like it -> patrician; I hate it -> pleb.

>>72127884
>Elitism encourages people to listen to the same set of pre-approved albums and to not try anything else because of the fear of being labeled as a pleb.
you think of elitism as people following charts or something

i think of elitism as people actively seeking out albums not often discussed (opposite of what happens with charts)

i don't know if you were here before the patrician/pleb meme but i mean like it was before then

>>72127848
look at literally any trip in any general thread (chart, daily, etc.) they don't NEED to trip or namefag, but they do it anyway because they like to have an identity.

>>72127884

The funny thing is the elitist shit is cringeworthy as fuck in real life. Dudes are trying to fit in and get approval from other dudes that can't possibly have any real friends.

>>72127995
no one NEEDS to do anything on a music board so that's a weird thing to say

chart threads they rec just like anyone else and are conversational. Daily is made for them basically and they share music. how is any of that upsetting to you other than them doing it with a trip?

>>72126937
It's literally how every meta thread on 4chan goes. Full of "back in my day!!!" people, meanwhile during the era they were describing it was also full of people saying how shit the board has become

>>72127509
Good to see you're being open-minded.

>>72128033
Yeah, it's pathetic. It's like being so unsure that you need approval from others to what to like. Or trying to impress strangers that don't give a fuck about your taste anyway.

>>72126781
Elitism forces people to justify their opinions if they are against the norm. As well you can be ostracized for only listening to "accepted" albums. It is better than a hugbox that accepts all albums and does not encourage critically listening to albums.

>>72126477
Opening up the doors AKA removing generals won't fix anything, it'll just mean more genre threads with less replies getting pushed down by shitty threads.

we need it now more than ever

Meme rap general
All rap in HHG
Ban waifu posters if another big thread is already up. Usually there's one big Grimes/Bjork thread, but people feel the need to post outside of those. They should be banned.
I don't like the /soc/ threads: Favorite color an album XD

This would fix 80% of the problems. The board is just too flooded with rap and meme threads that get 5-15 post before they die. Discussion needs to be brought back. Indie needs to be brought back.

It's just a bad post all around f a m

>>72133847
idk i'm not him

i just saw "boohoo this place is shit" when i read his post

honestly I feel like /mu/ has two different clashing cultures and a separate board would help that but it'd also halve the already pretty few people on the board at any time and idk how you'd split it unless there was like a music/alternative board

gotta be honest, maybe the fall of /tv/ has influenced my thoughts too much, but I actually really like /mu/. the autism tax is relatively low.

>>72133706
There were talks to bring back mutracker when what.cd went down but the project fell through iirc.

>>72133837
This. /mu/ is supposed to be a place where you can find discussion about music you wouldn't be able to find elsewhere and explore alongside others doing the same thing. There isn't anything wrong with listening to top 40 or discussing it but this is not the place for it and I think we could stand to be a little more hostile since the shit posting is so rampant.
>>72125278
I've been on board with this plan for a while now.
>>72128307
Same. I should probably set up some filters or something.

>>72136088
but all of those interests are niche and need containment threads to keep discussion alive. hip hop appeals to way more people rn so it makes sense to have different threads

and I mean if you're going to use that logic there should be a unified thread for pop, rock, country, folk, etc. etc.

False. It's less than half. There were multiple polls and many people voted for her.

I didn't vote in any poll and I fucking hate grimes

I wish /mug/ was a thing. A music general board for threads like /noise/ or /metal/ so they won't get bumped off

>>72125233
I miss CLT, Ame and Hampus.

its interesting how jazz, classical, and bleep all have these pretty insular and cohesive subcultures. I wonder if it has to do with the "listening curve" that these particular genres have or if it's something else.
there isnt really a critical mass of people who will scoff at you for having "uneducated" opinions about meme genres because there is rarely the same sort of established corpus that shames the uninitiated into relative silence.

>>72125318
/mu/core hasn't been a thing for years

>>72139561
Rock, hip hop, etc, is the popular establishment and most people on /mu/ are familiar with the major works in them. You would hypothetically be scoffed at if you unironically came along and started praising Nickelback and Nicki Minaj in the same way you are if you go into /jazz/ or /classical/ praising Kamasi Washington and John Williams.
In all cases, they're perceived as inferior and more like a selling out of the tradition's ideas for mass appeal.

>>72126781
elitist boards like /lit/ or /a/ are better than "like what u like :)" boards with no quality filter like /mu/

>>72128321
>>72131137
there is literally nothing left to talk about. This board exists simply to validate your taste in music. There is no other reason to visit this board if you don't make music. There are better places to find and talk about music, this place is hostile and shitty.

If only musicians browsed this board, you untalented swine would have no say at all.

this doesn't happen in all threads about black music, don't pretend it does. most threads that go down that road, that i see at least, go like this:
>have a baiting OP that draws out /pol/
>then tumblr comes to have a shit fit with /pol/
>and then the thread gets to 310 posts because /mu/ mod is one of the worst on the site and never does his job
>an hour after the thread 404s everyone who posted in it is banned for 3 days.

I love how raptards always blame racism yet jazz, blues, funk, soul, techno, house, dub etc fans don't.

Maybe its actually because the music is just shite.

general 4chan culture is just kinda shit imo but like its not like theres anwhere else u could go

also currently i feel like /mu/ doesnt have enough experience with hip hop yet and its just spamming the popular artists hopefully in a couple of years it'l settle into some more interesting niche rappers instead like most other genres on here

>>72135645
>bullet receptacles

>>72141165
Will never happen because

a) there is constant influx of new posters who will repeat the process and

b) rock has a more interesting niche because of Scaruffi, raptards use XXL mag and Fantano lmao

>>72141214
>scaruffi
nah but actually i can see where ur coming from with point b thats true but i think if people just started talking about more niche hip hop new posters would just kinda follow the culture like theres so many kendrick threads rn because of all the kendrick threads before them someones just gotta take initiative

as if this board wasnt founded for brainlet teenagers who listen to nothing but meme rock

>>72125310
There's not much you can say, other than short little 1 sentence statements like "I like the way this song sounds" or "this person has a nice voice" or "I like to play this instrument", and all of these lead to nowhere in terms of an actual conversation. So all discussion on /mu/ is inherently secondary.

>>72143448
this is the shit that makes this board suck its not even about music and it has 200 replies because its shitty bait

>>72141766
I'm pretty sure Montie just dropped trip to support that idea until enough new users thought it was a genuine thing and not just some shitty meme started to defend 1 trip's shit taste.

The picture I posted was the album cover of We Are Midori, which has a naked anime girl on it
First off, I've seen people post the uncensored NLDW cover and their posts didn't get deleted, so why is this different
Second, this thread was up for a good few hours before it got deleted, so clearly either most of the mods didn't mind it or they don't even check very often
