tfw u make whatever u want and dont force urself into one genre

Just copy the styles of the artists you like to listen to.

>>72552973
Just figure out what kind of music comes natural for you. For example, I can shit out power pop music, but it gets boring after a while. So I applied what I learned from that to dream pop, which I find more fulfilling.

>wanna play slowcore
>wanna play punk
>wanna play psych rock
Fuck my ass

>>72553100
play all three

wish I could do this but my mind is too 'catergorical', I literally have a list of different musical ideas and projects I want to try and do. It can be useful for grafting out ideas and themes but I feel I treat music too much like an idea machine rather than an actual art form, if that makes sense. I still try to make something unique and not stuck in genres, but I do sort of segregate ideas

The issue is a lot of things come naturally, and depends what my mood is and what i'm listening to at the time. One week i'm planning on setting up a Neofolk group, writing some songs, the next I want to make synthpop, the week after a noise rock group, etc

make The King of Limbs it'll be awesome

>>72552973
I feel like I could make a pretty good jazz-inspired rap album but because my real interest is classical I would forever know I'm a hack

>>72553133
Just do the Ween thing and do a little of everything

>>72553133
make a multigenre album. since you want to switch all the time, setting up a long-term project focused on one thing will never happen or work for you

>>72553180
fucking tempted man, Ween are one of my favourite groups

>tfw you will never have a stoner best friend who you jam and make weird shit with

>>72553144
Why not do both?

Take your 5 favorite artists.

Blend them together.

That's the type of music you want to make.

>>72553213
>Why not do both?

I'm not clever enough to compose great orchestral music, but am clever enough to know I couldn't

>>72553227
Ulver x Bach x King Crimson x Bjork x Peste Noire

.... It's not working senpai

>>72552973
I want to make rock, psychodelic rock, eurobeat and vaporwave

Just kill me now

>>72552973
I know that feel, last week I thought IDM but now I'm thinking drone metal. I'm still far from learning an instrument or even basic music theory anyway.

>ywn release a godtier jazzy post-punk record

>>72553213
You live in Jersey? Would jam.

>tfw you realise a large generation of young people will make more music not based on one genre but on many due to the increasing diversification of music taste

well, if /mu/ is anything to judge by, anyway

>>72553393
Jersey or New Jersey? UK Here

>>72553433
New. Sorry britbong

>>72553433
It's great when genres cross over naturally. But artist's that incorporate genres to be trendy/different always suck

>>72553480
Yeah, I agree, i'm trying to get to a point where I can just let music flow naturally, or whatever mood i'm in. Nothing I can't stand more than people who purposely try to 'fuse' genres, in the most generic way too

It's one thing to be influenced by a certain sound or artist, it's another to just blankly rip off something in a generic way without doing anything unique, then pass as it as something 'new' because you mixed death metal and funk or some shit.
