all the board really needs to be "fixed" is more moderation. ban general threads like grimes and kpop, ban spoonfeeding chart bullshit where idiots can think that they can become an expert on a whole genre in a month, and start relaxing the rules on political discussion

also the mentality of fuck pitchfork, lastfm and rym needs to be a lot stronger

>But the site’s most worthwhile subsection is /mu/
the board where people have been talking about the same 100 albums for the past 4 years + a handful of the current flavour of the months is THE most worthwhile board

/z/ is the best 4chan secret

>>73435264
Chart threads are basically mass recommendation threads. If I see an album I like on a chart, I check out a few other albums on it. Also the point isn't to become an expert on a genre, the point is to find new music.

Why?
Obviously on this site there are dorks who are interested in Kpop idols - what other board are they gonna discuss it on? Generals keep it nice and tidy, they never even interact with the rest of /mu/

Just filter them

>implying that anyone is going to download a vpn to shitpost more about kpop

>>73435488

yes, allowing more political discussion is actualy relevant since half of the music being released today has some kind of political aspect

i think the issue is that most of you are afraid of /pol/tards because you can't debate them properly

>>73435839

in reality chart threads are basically "this is the end all be all of a genre, just start here somewhere and eventually you'll understand everything". it fucking stifles discussion and gives idiots a chance to collect albums and artists like pokemon cards instead of actually listening to anything. don't even get me started on the /mu/core bullshit and how you guys think that you're superior because you've listened to the money store and ok computer. people that still make charts should be shot

>the same 100 albums for the past 4 years
That's the best and worst part of /mu/. A lot of /mu/core like Stratosphere or Sweet Trip or formerly HANL doesn't get talked about anywhere else so coming across those 100 albums for the first time is really exciting.

Then after you've been here a few months you realize that's all there fucking is but you're in too deep to quit so you keep coming back hoping to find something as good as those first few albums. It's like being a heroin addict except not as cool

That's not what I said or even what I implied. You're only proving my point, we can't have political discussion because of dipshits like you who willfully misinterpret everything to start fights.

If you want to have a political discussion do it on /pol/ where it belongs. That's the entire reason we have a politics board. If someone suggested banning music discussion from /tv/ or banning video game discussion from /ck/ nobody would be arguing about it but apparently banning politics from /mu/ is over the line because everyone wants to force the world to listen to their worthless opinions

>>73436151

>>73435940
I think we're talking about different charts.
What I'm talking about are the Topsters with an anon's personal favorite albums. Others respond to them to shit on their taste and/or give recommendations. It also works like
>>73435839 said, if someone's chart shares favorites with mine, I'll try some of the other albums on his chart. It normally isn't exclusive to genre.

You're talking about the flow-charts, the "How do you into [genre]" charts. Which I agree, not only are discussion-limiting, but are most of the time poorly made and just straight-up wrong.

>>73436217

>politics wouldn't see any discussion even if it were allowed. no one is interested or able to discuss politics on here.

you don't get better at something by not doing it. the belief that music and politics are mutually exclusive just goes to show how you guys are just giant pussies. a thread about some divisive artist that devolves into political hating shouldn't be deleted or have the participants banned

Or they might whine about it for months at a time and clog up the entire board with their crap because that's exactly what happens with every other attractive female artist/genre that doesn't have its own general. But I guess you know better than me!

>its ridiculous that you're fucking scared of people that post in general threads
It's ridiculous that they've stayed confined to their own single thread for ages and suddenly having one less Pitchfork shitposting thread is so objectionable to you that you'd rather turn them loose all over the rest of the board.

Political discussion on /mu/ has only gotten worse and more widespread since the election and it's only going to get worse. The mods have tried letting it run its course and clearly /mu/ isn't capable of handling it so now there needs to be another solution. Saying "LOL we'll get better at it after a while" is sticking your head in the sand and refusing to address the problem.

You're right. I don't disagree with you. That's not the point.
The point is that this board is clearly incapable of discussing politics (whether it's in the context of art or not) without it devolving into a shouting match and completely derailing the thread. It's gotten to the point that it's choking off actual discussion and something needs to be done about it. In a perfect world we wouldn't have to have limitations on it but that's the entire point of having rules for the site in the first place.

I've only told you to kill yourself once, you're just arguing with multiple people. Don't jump to conclusions. Sorry if me exercising my right to free discussion bothers you.

>>73436498
Thanks, mate

>>73435934

>>73436428

>Political discussion on /mu/ has only gotten worse and more widespread since the election and it's only going to get worse

the problems are getting worse so the amount of political discussion should go up accordingly until people stop caring or there isn't anything left to discuss. either way, these things should be grounds for an auto ban

>>73436533

>The point is that this board is clearly incapable of discussing politics (whether it's in the context of art or not) without it devolving into a shouting match and completely derailing the thread

I don't normally post on /mu/, but occasionally /hr/ and /tv/ get them too.

Anyway, you guys don't want more political discussion. It always turns into /pol/ bitching about the same five things even if they're conclusively routed every time. It doesn't matter if you know how to argue against them, they have perfected the art of Socratic shitposting. /his/ has whole sets of images specifically aimed at debunking the most common /pol/ 'info'graphics, and they just use the same ones. Over and over again. Forever.

Grimes isn't a general. It's an artist thread.

>>73436745

We must be browsing different boards then homeboy
Still doesn't change my point though. Of all the stupid fanbases on this board kpop is probably the only one that manages to keep it contained to one thread. Why do you want to create a problem where none exists? You say that there might be a temper tantrum for a month max but why even bother when you could just filter the thread and not have to deal with it?

>until people stop caring or there isn't anything left to discuss
This board still argues over the same /mu/core albums after almost a decade so I highly doubt that's ever going to happen

>then let it be a shouting match for a while until people get their shit together
There's no incentive for people to get their shit together because nobody gives out bans and a large portion of the board doesn't care about discussion. You can argue for self-moderation all you want but the end results are already clear. If it hasn't slowed down or improved since the election why would it slow down or improve now?

>rofl now you're some kind of victim
I don't really know what you're expecting me to say to this. Do you expect me to apologize for telling you to kill yourself on a website where the most frequently used insult is nigger?

>>73436806
>even if they're conclusively routed every time
Yeah this is my point
You can't argue or have genuine discussion with people who are only there to yell and start a pissing match. If you engage with them you've already lost.

Did anyone even read op article? It's pretty... cringeworthy

All of you who want to ban kpop obviously don't remember what it was like before the general was started. The rest of 4chan forced these kpop fags on us because they would shit up every other discussion. Then they flooded the board with threads about the latest boyslut group and it was hell because they would just spam the front page, driving everything down. You know how fucking long it took to force them into a general? You know how fucking long it took to force them into just 1 fucking general at a time???????

No, we cannot ban kpop general, be glad that the cancer is contained.

>>73436745
>then let it be a shouting match for a while until people get their shit together

No one's going to "get their shit together". Arguing with retarded people doesn't make them less retarded. It just drives off the few remaining semi-reasonable people. Eventually the only ones left will be dense motherfuckers such as yourself.

i only come here for kpop and sharethreads, why would i discuss music with any of you close-minded retards.

We all know that the problem is us not 4chan right?

>>73437075
>Of all the stupid fanbases on this board kpop is
...the only one where the regular posters NEVER discuss music. Which is why it doesn't belong on /mu.

>>73437256

>>73437256
Well it doesn't belong anywhere and the only reason it ended up on /mu/ is because they had an agreement with moot, who had refused time after time to make a Korean-culture board, so they settled with them discussing kpop & related stuff on this board. Learn your 4chinz history, newfag.

>>73436383

>>73437256

It's a containment thread. It's a necessary evil. It has nothing to do with whether they """""discuss music""""" or not. If you're too stupid to wrap your head around it then close your browser and let the adults talk

>>73437347
It's technically still music. If it got moved there people would just bitch that it fits on /mu/. And more importantly having a kpop general means that other kpop threads can get deleted on sight because there's already a designated thread for it. I'd rather have one consistent thread that I can filter than half a dozen unpredictable ones clogging up the front page

I have yet to see a single valid reason why the threads should be banned.

People SHOULD be able to make actually music-related threads about KPop on /mu if they want to (since that is the point of this board.) Forcing /s/-tier KPop threads to be on /mu/ pretty much makes that impossible.

>>73435264

I agree about the generals but I don't know of the best way to fix them. At the very least, mods should ensure there's no more than 1 Grimes thread and 1 Kpop thread at any given time. Anyone who posts another when an existing thread already has at least 10 posts should have their thread deleted and be banned for at least one day.

>>73435940
>i think the issue is that most of you are afraid of /pol/tards because you can't debate them properly
I post on /pol/ and debate them all the time. They're almost never actually interested in debates or any kind of intellectually honest discussion.

It'd literally be like trying to "debate" a Grimesfag to convince them Grimes isn't that amazing.

One of the only good thing mods do here is delete political threads.

But maybe that's my problem. Maybe my dense, labyrinth-consciousness is what's keeping me from being sociable. Maybe I'm too cognizant of everything and everyone around me.

If Kpop goes, so must Grimes, Lana, Lorde, Marina, Bjork, Lauren, Bush, Sufjan etc threads too.

>>73442641
KPop isn't an individual artist. It's a genre of music which NEVER gets discussed in "KPop" threads. Hence why said KPop threads shouldn't be on /mu.

>>73442581
but /cm/ is only for 2d. That'd be like putting an western art general on /aco/. /trash/ is where kpop really belongs, don't even try to deny it.

>>73442610
you think about your own thinking and that can be a good thing if you hone it via martial arts, if you don't you'll always be in your own head instead of in the momentkun

as for the board in general: with Reddit in a state of chaos due to our own negligence and love of profit and general warmongering, we must allow more redditors in and make them welcome.

>>73442602
Good job retard, like everyone else arguing for the removal of kpop threads you totally missed the point. The point isn't that it fits somewhere else or that they don't discuss music, the point is that *without kpop generals the board would be flooded with that shit and nobody wants to deal with it*.

Why are you suddenly a stickler for the fucking rules of 4chan just because it "maybe sorta technically" doesn't adhere to them all the way? Are you this up in arms about people breaking copyright infringement with sharethreads, you fucking loser?

>>73442602
we're aware, stupid. i don't think the threads are good either which is why i prefer having one general instead of 30 threads. you're not going to ever get kpop removed from /mu/ so don't be a stubborn autist about it

pic related does not demonstrate a lot of cognizance dawg

>>73435264
Grimes is a /mu/ fixture and has been since Halfaxa

>>73442794
Maybe if people stuck to her first three albums, while recognizing how derivative they are and appreciating the music she takes from, discussions about her wouldn't be so irritating.

>>73442780
Rumor has it that he almost got doxed but wouldn't on the one conduction that he had to leave this place one and for all, is this true?

>>73442870
it's absolutely true, i actually happened to be in that thread. wish i had some screens of it, are there any /mu/ archives up?

he managed to fuck up copypasting a college radio playlist he made. he left enough information for someone to find his university and name. he had a massive nervous breakdown after the anon told him that he has to leave the board forever or else he would contact unty's school administrators with screenshots of his violent posts about women

could easily be the second best thread i've ever witnessed behind the time that machinedrum was tricked into sending all of his unreleased material to '[email protected]'

>>73436151
as cringe as this is, this makes a lot of sense. especially for portland and reddit

>>73442780
I feel for him. The dismissive, stupid memes en masse, when you just want to be treated with a modicum of respect and understanding, is infuriating. We've lost our ability to communicate.

>>73435264

Portland = Reddit is the only one that really makes sense. But it could also apply equally well (or better) to any hipster millennial enclave.

LA is clearly more aptly Instagram.

>>73443086
>ban kpop general
>they start making millions of threads and flooding the board with autism

great idea retard

>>73443064
i think you make a good point, but it's important to consider that unty was already very well known at that point. every person in that thread had probably read a good dozen hateful, psychotic posts from him about how he wants to kill women. and about how superior he is to everyone. the response to that would be worse in virtually every other context that has ever existed. he's lucky there's even a place for him to vent such feelings with zero repercussions

>>73443086
>The obligatory "I've been here" shitpost.
Fuck off newfriend.

>>73443159
Oh, I didn't read the whole thing. That was unty? I remember him from a year or two ago. He was a mess.

>>73443185

>>73442714
>>>/hm/
Have you seriously never browsed this site before?

>>73442726
>The point isn't that it fits somewhere else or that they don't discuss music
Yes, it is, because the purpose of /mu - specifically - is to host/foster music discussion. Not to be a safespace for spergs like you who can't tolerate other people talking about styles of music (in this case, KPop) you don't like.

>>73442744
See above. The MUSICAL aspect of KPop (what the current KPop threads specifically DO NOT touch on in the least) SHOULD be discussed on /mu because that is topical to the board. However that will never happen unless the current so-called "KPop" threads are relegated to their logically appropriate boards - >>>/s/ and/or >>>/hm/

>>73435264
>ban music related general threads on a music board but allow more off-topic political threads
>also fuck these music related sites I don't like because I'm a contrarian.
Also don't try to argue that political threads are fine because of political music because most of the political threads I see are shit like
>post your favorite album and political chart so we can call anyone on the left cucks and anyone on the right nazis
or someone will mention Vektroid (or a trans musician) and the thread will devolve into
>she XDDD

>>73443235
Hey! Leave k-pop boys off /hm/ please. We don't want them there.

>>73443086

no, you could open r/hiphopheads and /tv/ and get the same experience as browsing /mu/

>>73443119

>>73443235
"Banning" things is a useless concept on an open posting system like 4chan. Regardless, there is nothing wrong with KPop threads being on /mu so long as they are the musically related kind - i.e. NOT like the ones found here right now.

>>73443273
That's where they make the most sense to be desu. If that fact makes you uncomfortable, well... maybe you should do some soul-searching.

>>73442865
it's the dumb faggots who think she is a saviour that make it irritating

>>73443530
>maybe you should do some soul-searching

Maybe I didn't make it clear. I frequent /hm/ and I don't want [more] k-pop idol threads there.

>>73443115
la is definitely instagram. dunno about portland and reddit. the way he described it made sense, but for every hiplord/nanny state sheep rat in portland there's a genuinely open-minded human being I think, probably true on reddit too though i guess

Those are just the ones CURRENTLY active in the catalog desu. The archive (which shows jsut 3 days worth of expired threads) currently shows 47 more. That's approximately 16 threads PER DAY...

holy shit i'll tell you what the problem is

easily 60-70% of /mu/ is 18
40% of /mu/ is new as shit (been here less than 5 years)

the reason the same 50 albums keep getting posted is because they're all babby's first and these kids are just discovering music

none of these kids are actually digging deep and finding new music because they don't know where to start and they don't know how.

flavor of the month is even more egregious because all it proves is that 18 year olds can still read pitchfork.

it's always been the same problem and it's the problem on every board: more than half of this website is 18 and the other half is probably just underaged b&

holy fuckin shit grimes general i remember when there'd be this type of whining about the alice glass generals it's always the same.

>>73443937
this

>>73443530
Maybe he just isn't attracted to Korean boys.

>>73443937
I agree with the underage kids but how is 5 years the cutoff for newfags

>>73444262
it's not the cutoff, it's just being new as all shit

5 years in /mu/ you at least start to notice that it's the same fuckin albums over and over again

the age of newfags vs oldfags is long over dude, 4chan was founded when most of its current userbase was in diapers

>>73444361
>5 years in /mu/ you at least start to notice that it's the same fuckin albums over and over again

Thanks man! Good to know.

4chan is a agent of chaos in the age of hyper identity politics, a faceless hivemind doing it for the lulz, 4chan is what happens when you tear away the chains of identity and political correctness.
The results are lots of shitposting, but also a diamond in the shit every now and then

>>73445241
stfu u gay

>>73435264
charts serve a valuable purpose and the ones that are just some random cunts hot opinion are easily spotted

generals will exist whether you like them or not, if the topic is popular enough

>the mentality of fuck pitchfork, lastfm and rym needs to be a lot stronger

it'll wax and wane naturally you fucking sixteen year old

and there's a board for political discussion. you can always fuck off over that ways if talking politics is important enough to you. the shit has half-killed 4chan as it is without mods 'relaxing the rules'

gag on a fat one, cunt
