Can we finally just admit that there's nothing to music

I guess but the descriptions make it worth reading/listening/watching.

ye but the review is why the reviewer likes or does not like the sounds

That might be helpful if it was like, the 90s and you couldn't just listen to albums on the internet and hear for yourself, but it's not the 90s anymore.

>hundreds of years of established and documented music theory
>consistent reinforcement of what 'good music' is
>artists influencing others
>not worth criticism

There is no why. It's just, "this sounds good" or "it doesn't." It's like explaining why a certain food tastes good. It's an abstract, purely aesthetic sense. It just tastes good to your tongue.

The only concrete thing you can look at is the lyrics, but not a lot of people care about lyrics.

You would want to know what is in the song before you listen to it. That's what reviews are.

Music degree faggot:

>Wow, you listen to this trash? You can't even hear all the individual instruments being played, it's just a jumbled mess. What fucking awful notes being played. I bet you don't even understand notes. What a pleb you are.

Normal person:

>Not a huge fan of how this sounds, maybe you could show me some other music that I might like?

Music criticism is worthless, but it can help you distinguish what you like and don't like to hear.

If it can help you do something, it's by definition not worthless. Way to contradict yourself in one sentence. Idiot.

yes but if you hear something and like it and show it to someone who doesn't like it you can explain to him why you like it and the certain aspects that are important in order to enjoy the actualy piece, unless you don't like it and you say why you don't like it.

do you even know how to read/play music?

>>72720960
if liking things is totally random, why do groups of people like the same things?

>>72721143
Then it isn't useless, is it?

>>72721049
I guess the only other concrete thing you can judge it on is skill and effort
