How does one become a musical elitist? What music do you have to listen to? What books do you have to read? What do you have to study? I've only been into music for like a year and I feel woefully unequipped compared to many users here, and I'm always up for self-improvement.

I don't care if I'm an elitist or not. Hell they'd probably laugh at me for listening to every Rancid album
>>73674724
study the history of a genre I guess wouldn't be a bad place to start
>>73674731
I thought it would be a bit more difficult than that, that's a damn accessible (although incredible) album.
>>73674751
Yes, its because it's a starting point getting into more artsy music
Get really good at an instrument.
Read Adorno and Sartre.
Drink more tea.
Take cold showers.
>>73674748
Ok, I've done that before, albeit some obscure genres (like harsh noise and power electronics, for example). Should I do something a bit more popular and well-liked?
>>73674724
>What music do you have to listen to?
Metal
>>73674765
Yeah, I meant no critique of your pick (fantastic album), but I've been into music for a while, and I want to see where I go from here. Thanks, man.

makes me sad, desu. any recs?
>>73674724
Funny how everyone on here is a music expert but when you ask them how you become one they have no answer
The true patrician does not have to ask for instructions. You are on the wrong path, my friend. No one in this mestizo wicker-weaving website can teach you what you need to become a self-actualized patrician.
>>73674863
fair enough
>>73674856
do you mean elitist?
>>73674815

>>73674980

>>73675045
Great musicians, but they aren't ambient
>>73674769
Where do I start with Adorno and Sartre?
>>73675009
There's a cover of some girl doing polyphonic country. It's on the tube
>>73675128
Start with the Greeks.

Impressionism was influential for ambient, but attributing its biggest names to a later movement when they died half a century prior feels silly.
