op here. liking grimes is perfectly fine. no need to disparage her. disliking kraftwerk, new order and depeche mode is inexcusable.

>>73348182

>>73348193
Grimes is good, but not really on her last two albums. You at least could've included a really good modern synthpop album like WMBtPCoO

>>73348237
>Grimes is good, but not really on her last two albums.
what the hell are you talking about? visions and art angels are masterpieces, like it or not. all great synthpop (like kw, dm, no) have solid beats, memorable melodies and great songs. grimes' latest 2 albums have that in spades.

Literally how?

>>73348164
>disliking pop is being pleb
Literally how?

>>73348237
btw i love WMBtPCoO. but i had to put visions instead because i like it more and because the chart needed an album with female vocals for more variety. i considered silent shout instead visions.

>>73348257
>great songs
but both Oblivion and Genesis are on that album

>>73348283
It's not pleb to dislike pop, it's pleb to dislike three pop artists and like one that's just as pop but with lower quality songs. I have no idea what's up with the first anon though.

>>73348283
>disliking pop is being pleb
Where has anybody said this

>>73348283
>disliking pop is being pleb

disliking quality dark synthpop is pleb. synthpop is not for everyone. that shit with synths you hear in charts is not real synthpop.

well the fact that those two songs exist means that the album doesn't have great songs all the way through, as opposed to WMBtPCoO

You're just as autistic as the person you replied.

do you actually imply that genesis and oblivion aren't good songs? that's the most contrarian opinion i've seen this whole month. good luck with that opinion.

>>73347851
I need a personal Jesus to live with your comment.

>>73348434
false. if you can find emotion even on simplistic solid state machine noises it means you're truly a human. if you can do this hard thing then finding emotion in expected situations should be a piece of cake.

>>73348436
Go ahead and point me to the place where I said that those songs are bad. In fact, I kinda like those songs. Unfortunately, Oblivion and Genesis are two massive earsores in the album that lower my overall enjoyment of the album

Can you explain this without just saying they're bad because they're old?

>>73348444

because you say so? you seem like an idiot who judge artists based on oldness. like old artists can't be good anymore. or a sneaky troll. pick one.

>>73348488
>Unfortunately, Oblivion and Genesis are two massive earsores in the album that lower my overall enjoyment of the album
holy fuck, you must be the only one who dislikes oblivion and genesis and like the rest. how is that even possible? is this a joke?

>>73348496
>Can you explain this without just saying they're bad because they're old?
They sound like shit. People praise them because they're influential, but they're being influential is another reason to dislike them. You don't wonder why the synthpop genre is mostly so insipid when those are people who influenced it.
I like early Kraftwerk, it would be better if they never sold out.

>>73348444
>Except it literally is.
it's not. synthpop is not for everyone. that -pop is misleading. the real synthpop has cold synthetic heavy beats, almost emotionless/understated vocals and dark themes. that's in clear contrast with mainstream pop which value strong vocals over light instrumentals. i doubt your mother or father are wild over songs like the robots or 586.

>>73348749

good. now leave. you're ruining the vibe of this thread.

They most obviously don't, and probably never had.

I don't dislike it completely, it's just obvious that this genre is mostly shit.

I'm allergic to shit production and terrible vocals of synthpop.

>>73348821

Lots of assumptions there, anon. Unfortunately, they're all wrong.

>>73348837
if you dislike synthpop, why the hell are you posting itt? post in the krautrock threads or something. this thread is obviously not suited to your taste. please leave.

Not that anon btw. Are you legitimately retarded? This is not "discuss the praises of synthpop": the thread, this is "is synthpop the best genre?": the thread. Thus, that anon is answering (And giving his justifications for) why synthpop is not the best genre in his opinion.

>>73348898

because you're wrong regardless of who you're talking to

>>73348701

>>73348901
you are allowed but enough is enough. you already said you dislike this genre, now leave. unless you want to troll the synthpop fans. that's against the rules. also you're killing the vibe of the thread with your dreary contrarian posts (to claim that synthpop is shit in a synthpop thread is fucking rich).

>>73348929
Well, you seemed pretty mad at the usage of that Thom meme, so it made sense that you had some negative memories associated with it. It's ok anon, you can share your problems with us here.

>>73348971
you already said that you like the genre, does that mean that you should leave?

Not him but why are you so illiterate?

>>73348999
Calm down, man. Do you need to take a breather or something? You seem worked up a bit.

He said he disliked the genre and wants to talk more about it. you do know that this thread is for discussing synthpop, not praising it, right?

>>73349032
If you want an echo chamber where everyone that disagrees with you is a nadir to discussion and can be tuned out of your circle jerk, there's another website that's probably a better fit for you than this one

>>73349022
it's not a a different point of view, it's a complete disregard of the topic (saying that synthpop is shit in a synthpop thread). when are you going to learn to stay on topic?

Actually, by calling it shit, he's staying right on topic, that being the topic of synthpop.

>>73349093
Maybe talk about why you like the genre and try to have a legitimate discussion instead of acting like a child and telling him to leave the thread. Also
>implying being a contrarian is a bad thing

>>73349093
You so unbelievably don't know what "contrarian" means
>what could i discuss
The merits of the genre this thread is about? I don't mean to sound snarky but you sound so solipsistic I'm sure that's how I'll sound when I say this but, Reddit might be a better music discussion platform than 4chan

>>73349115
the thing i like is the topic of the thread. so?

>>73349138
*better music discussion platform than 4chan for you and your aversion to different opinions

op here. shame that this thread turned into shit so quickly. i regret making this thread. instead discussing synthpop there are idiots that hate this genre trying to bring down this thread. fuck this contrarian board. you're good for nothing except shitposting and memes.

>>73349124
>Actually, by calling it shit, he's staying right on topic, that being the topic of synthpop.
lame bait. aren't you tired to suck so much?

>>73349138

now: is that idiot contrarian or now? or a mere shitposter?

What's some good modern synthpop that isn't a meme like Grimes?

>>73349190
>ignoring all of the retards squealing like babies and ruining anyone's appreciation of the genre for fear of looking like them
>implying that having a contrarian opinion is bad
Hilariously, the only people that are still trying to have a discussion are the ones responding to the people crying at them to leave. And I say all of this as a synthpop fan.

>>73349227
>lame bait
calling synthpop shit = talking shit about synthpop = talking about synthpop = the point of this thread

>>73349247
Are you taking English night classes or something?
Saying "synthpop is shit" in a thread about synthpop is on topic and only rustles you because you disagree.
Make sense now?

>>73349248
i know plenty of good synthpop but i'm not going to tell you because of your meme opinion ("isn't a meme like Grimes"). assholes like you deserve nothing.

>>73349190
im sorry you're this motivated to spout cheap bullshit in a very generic and dadaistic fashion, hopefully i can feel included in your pointless charade too

>>73349248
John Maus is really the only popular one I like, unfortunately. If you were trying to get into the genre, I would recommend going the route of listening to the classics

>>73349247
if a contrarian opinion about the topic is an opinion that is opposite to the topic, then he doesn't have a contrarian opinion since the term "Synthpop is shit" is not the opposite of "let's talk about synthpop"

>>73349266
>Saying "synthpop is shit" in a thread about synthpop is on topic and only rustles you because you disagree.
that's a contrarian opinion, dip. this is a synthpop appreciation thread, not shitposting general. keep your negative shit to yourself, don't kill my vibe. discuss synthpop or get the fuck out of here, buddy.

sellout

>>73349308
>"let's talk about synthpop"
this thread is not "let's talk about synthpop" but synthpop appreciation thread. read the op once again. the tone is clearly hyperbolic and asking for confirmation.

>>73349190
Why are synthpop fans so insecure they need to respond to every obvious troll/bait comment in order to justify their taste?

>>73349312
>synthpop appreciation thread
Point to me where it says that in the OP. Also, why do you keep telling people to discuss synthpop when you're the one attempting to shut down any discussion?

>>73349275
I just want to be far from Grimes as possible. The fanbase is unsufferable...

>>73349256
>And I say all of this as a synthpop fan.
where's your synthpop discussion itt? are you just pretending to be a fan while shitposting and policing people itt? shame on you. you should know better.

any discussion or the stupid contrarian ones? i have no problem if you discuss synthpop itt. talk about bands, history, whatever. but don't come with shit like "synthpop sucks". that's trollish and unproductive.

e.g. discuss new order's album power corruption and lies. what does the song the silent face means to you? do you think it was a mistake to leave blue monday outside of pc&l? what does 586 means? is the riff of age of constent the best ever? talk about the iconic cover and how it influenced every open eye by chvrches' cover. discuss the influence of kraftwerk on this album. discuss peter hook's basslines.

>>73349536
no, his only speaking for himself here. you can't tell me how im feeling can you?

>>73349539
i like the album title

>>73349539
>stupid contrarian ones
you know that there's nothing wrong with a contrarian opinion, right? And if you look back in the thread, you will actually see people who don't like synthpop explain why they don't like it. You, on the other hand, have just been calling them stupid or contrarian the whole time.
>>73349555
But you said he "said there was only his own vibe", which is demonstrably false with the posts I showed you.

>>73349621

pissing on a genre in a thread dedicated to that genre is retarded. period.

they never explained why. hence it's just blatant trolling.

>>73349926
>pissing on a genre in a thread dedicated to that genre is retarded
where else should it be done? this thread is for the open discussion of the genre, not for the unanimous praise of it. You only think it's retarded since it's triggered you.

>>73349621
oh i guess you can tell me how im feeling. no wonder it's been so shit

>>73349945
Explaining why you think it sounds bad is unnecessary, these things are not always easy to explain. Are you saying that if you don't like how a genre sounds, then that's not enough of a reason to not like it?

>>73349988
i don't understand the motivation of an anon who dislikes x genre, comes to x genre thread and shitposts negativity here. why? what is the purpose?

if you dislike x genre, ok. but no need to ruin a whole thread like a parrot, to know the whole world how much you hate x genre.

>>73349988
it's probably not a good reason to force people to like the thing, you might think it is though
