If you dismiss any genre in its entirety, you are definitively a pleb. Jazz, classical, rock, folk, 'electronic', hip hop, sound poetry, *all* of these genres have *something* to offer the human musical endeavor.

Looks like mr.pleb thinks he knows more than he really does
>>73702297
the human musical endeavor is a meme propagated by buttmad nu males looking to justify their shitty tastes

Shit mate how'll he ever recover?
This is true
>>73702297
Wrong. If you think "jazz" "classical" "rock" "folk" "electronic" "hip-hop" or "sound poetry" are genres, you're a pleb.
>>73702578
All these are genres
except for Classical which is an era and should be referred as Western Art Music and "Electronic" which is a loose term that means absolutely nothing
>>73702641
"Western Art Music" means nothing. You don't know what you're talking about.
>>73702297
Metal and trap. It may have something to offer to some people musically, but as music is subjective, and I subjectively dislike metal, I have the right to dismiss it in its intirety.

>art music
>>73702671
Oh, and you do? Enlighten me then, how do we classify """"""""""""""Classical""""""""""""""""""" music then?
>>73702578
Tell that to wikipedia and the oxford dictionary definition of those genres you mentioned

A word used to catalog CD's at Tower Records.

How about you let music be defined by itself rather than allowing marketing executives tell you what to think.

This is exactly what I was actually saying in the OP, the music can't be reduced and dismissed by those genres' labels. You're making my point for me. Don't be a pedantic autist.
>>73702683
I think you'd be able to find metal you like if you looked hard enough. As for trap, I generally agree with you but I've been able to find one or two I like that are actually kinda creative. Also it's a young genre so...
I think one can still safely dismiss crunkcore.
>>73702818
Listened from black sabbath to sunbather, from young thug to soundcloud trap kids, haven't found a thing. Maybe it's actually just not for me?
>>73702949
You're putting too much emphasis on "liking" things. Not everything is about you.
>>73702774
>How about you let music be defined by itself rather than allowing marketing executives tell you what to think.
What the fuck kind of gibberish is this? First, I don't think Wikipedia was written by marketing executives. Second, the function of genre names isn't rigorous taxonomy so much as a convenient shorthand for describing things. They're generalizations, and thus by definition not exactly correct, but they're still useful.

Like what? What does hip hop have to offer artistically?

I didn't say Wikipedia was. I said those words in OP were made up by marketing executives in order to catalog CD's in a store-front record shop. Those don't exist anymore so the terms you're so emotionally attached to don't reflect reality as it is. And it's a shame people are so emotionally attached to those words, as if you've built your entire persona around it.
