Why is there no good place on the internet to discuss underground

because no one cares really.

what would you like to discuss?

maybe try going out and meeting people, anon

>>72210565
because milennials think they're being really deep and cool

they think liking beyonce but also listening to swans and throbbing gristle and xenakis and rymcore and obscure shoegaze makes them some sort of cultural bridge between the different worlds of music, but they're just attention seekers that use music like a fashion accesory

and for whatever reason that mentality is becoming really popular so of course the media is going to cater to that if they want to stay in business

>>72210608
a lot of indie is being phased out, its getting to where the radio is a little better. unfortunately you need to dig or be well connected to find music that is good

fuckkkkk. neil is looking old

there really isn't anywhere better than /mu/ to discuss music on the internet. you can find obscure subreddits with way better posts but they'll be extremely slow and empty

like >>72210580 said, you'll have to go out to shows or record stores or something. which of course depends on where you live

or you'll just have to settle for us

>>72210576
How about...

this looks very interesting. How did you come across this record anon?

>there really isn't anywhere better than /mu/ to discuss music on the internet.
Sad. The quality of discussion on here has taken a nose dize to the point where the shitposting and memes are too pervasive to properly converse about music no matter how hard you try to filter them out. Either that or it gets ignored and buried in dozens of off topic threads.

>>72210696
I saw a review of a compilation on the same label in an issue of the Wire and decided to check out their other more recent releases.

you'd probably be better off just reading books and stuff like The Wire and thinking about things yourself.
i've occasionally come across random message boards while googling stuff about, like, The Shadow Ring and other more 'underground' music, that seem to be reasonably well populated, but i can't think of any off the top of my head and they never had much interesting discussion.

>>72210710
I should return to reading The Wire. Got the subscription but too much work lately.

The record sounds really nice from the snippets. Sort of like Ian William Craig but with a much more interesting ensemble of sounds amongst an ambient backdrop. The piano suits it especially well.

Do you have a RYM by any chance?

yeah, unfortunately every board has gotten much worse in the past few years. the ones i go to at least. all the obsessed, genuine, autistic anons have moved to discord

4chan became well known and /pol/ got massive. the /r/thedonald meme is actually very true. tons of redditors migrated to /pol/ and then started spilling out to the other boards

all is lost. only /r9k/ and /x/ remain the same and that's because they're too schizophrenic and autistic to be absorbed by normies

>>72210767
I don't have an RYM actually. Would you recommend getting one?

>>72210775
I use it too keep track of new releases from artists I have heard and for having some sort of control over my backlog. I dunno, I like it. You can also go through interesting lists and label catalogs.

Here is one of my favorite lists for example. Pretty vast range of recordings that fit a specific description. Always nice to dive into stuff like this.

>/x/
/x/ is just moronic creepypastas 100% of the time instead of genuine mystery or discussion of paranormal topics.


Also, what exactly is discord?

all unusually accessible and pleasant songs for royal trux

>>72210984
Hard to get into? I've been a fan since 1994

>>72211074
well sorry grandpa but what you said wasn't at all clear. it's even more confusing now

>>72210665
Its generic ambient

>>72210984
Thanks for the compilation, I'll have a listen later. I assume they're usual grunge kinda thing? Fuzz up me wuff muzz

>>72210565
agreed OP. findig a good discussion on /mu/ is a chore

does anybody have a good avant garde rec chart to share?

Any good magazines or charts on world music?

>>72211324
Literally none

>>72211518
is this sarcasm anon, i need that variety

>>72211179
Yeah, usual

Maybe you shouldn't go to one of the biggest public forums on the internet expecting people to only talk about obscure underground stuff.

>complain /tv/ are pleb for talking about mainstream shit
>/mu/ is no better than a Billboard charts board

>>72212588
/tv/ is better at talking about mainstream shit tho
/mu/ besides the grimesfags just care more about the score and "feels"

>>72211324
Not really what you are asking for, but the DJ of this radio show plays plenty of good world music, check out the archives : http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/TP
