Every single thing rock music provides, other genres provides.

Is your obsession purely a guitar fetish?

I scroll through this board often. See people debate what makes a good rapper. Talk about different electronic scenes and how they originated or evolved. I'd have no idea where I could learn that. It makes me wonder what these people would be able to tell me about rock music. It's really disheartening to think of people who don't see rock music as the lifeblood of human society. So here I am because I don't understand.

>>73737448
But other genres don't provide being rock music. They don't provide being the most exciting and important thing in the world. They can only ever seem inferior.

>>73737449

>>73737458
As if a Nobel prize is important. Wanna know if something is important, ask yourself what it has to do with rock music.

I kind of understand what you mean. In highschool the only thing I listened to was metal until I grew up and realized one of the main reason I didn't explore other genres was because of peer pressure. It's understandable since we stereotype people listening to other genres. I didn't listen to rap because I hated the fans macho attitude, I didn't listen to pop because I thought it was queer, etc. But comes a time where you're mature enough to listen to music for what it is and you don't necessarily feel compelled to follow the culture associated with it. This is very freeing.

Are you serious? Rock? A genre that exists for just 50 years or so and is already dying is the "lifeblood of human society"?
Hope this is bait.

>>73737487
I've said my piece. I can sleep at night because I devote my life to serving rock music. As said, it's indisputably the most exciting and important thing in the world. You are going to struggle because you disrespect rock music. How are you going to justify your own existence now?

Rock is not the lifeblood of human society, nor is it rap or whatever.
You can't pick one genre and say it's the staple of humans themselves holy fuck.

>>73737567
Sounds like you don't rock. It reminds me of this one time I was stoned off my ass and I couldn't stop thinking about what it means 'to rock' and realized it's the highest compliment we can give each other. People don't normally speak in those terms but they should. "I want you to meet my friend" "Does she rock?"

ok wait this thread is hilarious

>>73737603

>>73737561
It's obvious from how you talk that you are not going to even consider changing your mind, nobody will waste time on an explanation that will not be useful and that you don't even deserve. You can oppose to explanations but not to time, so gl and hf with dealing with the memories of how you used to be

>>73737399
Pure autism to listen to only one genre. It's like hearing someone claim that westerns are the worthwhile movies or "I play open-world games only"

>>73738142
I don't listen to one genre only. Rock music encompasses many genres. But all those genres are better than anything outside of it. The things outside of rock music clearly don't matter. More personality than a beige wet dish rag isn't too much to ask for, is it?

>>73739007
Oh,so you're a shitty baiter.

>>73739033
Nah, m8.

>>73739032
If you think that a genre that only had a 50 year lifespan and is mostly consisted of similary structured 3-4 chord songs is the superior form of music than I don't see why I should. I really sometimes wish that electronic music took the mainstream rather than rock considering even the still-developing stuff that came out in the 20's to 40's is better than most of all rock music. Rock has nowhere to go,the most intresting thing it did was it incorporating electronic elements.

Different people like different things, sendpie.

>>73739032
No, because you've already decided that it's inferior to rock. You can't appriciate it because you won't let yourself, or else you wouldn't be making this thread.

How could I listen to an electronic song and not wonder where it's going til it ends without going anywhere? Without thinking about what I'm gonna have for lunch today? Without being shocked at the chasm that exists where a song would usually be capable of making me feel something? It shouldn't be a hard question to answer. What part should I enjoy? What part should I be looking for? Looking forward to?

>>73739126
I was thinking about this the other day. I was listening to pop music playlists on Spotify just trying to keep aware of things. I thought about how I had artists I could sell them on who I know are capable of provoking passion in people, but they would be seen as a hard sell. Maybe it's how the kids of world class chefs or maybe even people outside the us feel about McDonald's. You could make the argument that by xyz standards it's objectively better, or you could make the argument that if you're raised on crap you'd never learn to appreciate anything else. And I'd just turn around and say "yeah but McDonald's makes me happy." This makes even less sense. How does this make you happy?

>>73737399
I like bass and not a fan of certain instruments..

>>73739700
If you were talking about someone liking shitty mainstream EDM, then your McDonald's analogy would actually work.

Rap-focused hip hop emphasizes vocals that are used rhythmically rather than melodically, where the shape and structure of words inform the composition instead of chosen notes that are generally unrelated to the words.

While other genres may make use of these same techniques, it isn't with the same focus on wordplay, rhyme, alliteration, rhythm, etc. that make rapping what it is. The phonetic quality of words tend to be a lot more important in hip hop as a result, and artists are usually praised for their mastery in utilizing those qualities as well as the semantic qualities that are the basis of word play.

If that sounds uninteresting to you, you probably won't like a lot of hip hop.

Hip hop without rapping is just background noise, and edm is that for white people who are afraid of black people and music with a pulse or any sense of swing.

Sometimes I feel like I came into music very differently than most people my age. I barely even knew what Soundcloud was until like 2012; is that totally unusual?

I also don't understand why people feel so protective of electronic and hip-hop, like something is at stake if you don't defend the music's honor.

>>73743042
name some good electronic music then

I honestly don't know. As a teenager, I grew away from metal and gravitated to hip hop, punk, nu metal and ska.

>>73742879
Kid A can in no way be classified as rock. It is one of my favorite albums, but your argument is stupid. They branched out of rock and went into other genres completely after OKC. Kid A and Amnesiac are the best examples of that. They did come back to conventional rock tracks on HTTT and IR but it was under a heavy influence of other genres.

>>73737399
Im gonna be serious here instead of the others just bein asshats.

I for one literally love all genres of music but HipHop is my favorite by far.
I think I like it more than rock or whatever you may compare it to is because of the simplicity of it. I like the simple boom bap, basic kick and drum with some little melody and some simple spoken word, I like the poetry. I think PERSONALLY!!! Rap is more poetic than any other genre just because you cant really be straight forward when "rapping". Look at MF DOOM, Earl Sweatshirt, Death Grips, or whatever abstract artists. There is a lot of word play involved in rapping, metaphors, punchlines, matching syllabus to the beat, or other rhymes, near rhymes. Theres a lot of things you can pick apart imo from just the words.
Im not saying any other genre can be like that but Im just saying rapping in itself is straight wordplay and just weird shit if you want it, or hella metaphors whatever. Theres just more juice there for the most part to really enjoy.
Electronic music idrk since I dont listen to much of it other than like house, maybe some trap music etc.
I like simple beats, but a lot of words..
If that makes any sense????????

Rock is great, but I love the sound of synths and a good bassline.

That's why I mostly listen to Electro-Industrial - it brings the best of electronic and rock music.

I just don't get white people who listen to rap, how can you identify with it?

I tried listening to it but it just seems you need to be black, that's what it feels like.

I feel like any genre has something objectively enjoyable if you go deep enough into it. After this, music tastes determine the utility from the tradeoff between time taken to appreciate a style of music and satisfaction derived.

Id probably enjoy hip hop if i forced myself to listen to it for a year on end but that is simply unfeasible!

OP, I genuinely don't understand why you haven't offed yourself yet.

>>73747682
I symphatise with Op though. He must subjectively enjoy rock so much that he genuinely feels this way.

>>73746926
Why do you think RapGenius did so well?

>>73746153
This is a great indicator of how the most subtle quirks can result in radically different tastes between individuals.

Synth and bass are my two most favourite things in music yet ive gravitated towards jazz fusion/ jazz rock instead. Electro industrial would be too beat heavy and relatively harsh/unmelodic to my tastes. In fact i wouldnt immediately associate bass+synth lovers with the genre.

Point for the Op is, there is nothing to understand about why tastes are different. They just are.

Because genres sometimes have things that you couldn't have in others and that's why they exist. They involve different kind of approach to composition and I personally find that interesting.

>>73737399
people who like only one genre of music are objectively short sighted and stupid

Electronic music has feelings that feel transcendent to ones that I get from rock music.

>>73748161
I've already said that rock music encompasses many different genres. If I said Rancid and Foo Fighters were the same genre you'd think I was a retard.

>>73748207
