6/8 simplifies to 3/4 they're literally the same fucking retard.

>>74542631
they are used to indicate different pulse structures, you ignorant child

>>74542631
It's not like fractions you fucking retard

3/4 is when 3 beats hit out of a 4 count
Example: 1 1 1 (pause)
6/8 is when 6 beats hit out of a 8 count
1 1 1 1 1 1 (pause) (pause)

It doesn't really matter what the time signature is. You can write it in 3/4 or 6/8. I personally subdivide all of my triple meter in 3's

>>74542631
You're an idiot

>>74542644
and I personally pronounce time signature with a silent "retard"

You're not wrong and you could do the counting like this on a 3/4 beat, but sadly it doesn't work like that in actual use when there's no beat that often.

While the phrase structure seems to favor 6 beat phrases, the 4th beat seems just as grounded as the 1st, so I would say it's 3/4.

Compare to Subterranean Homesick Blues

The bass drum hits on the 1st beat and the snare hits on the 4th, giving the 4th beat a "not quite there" feeling.
In OP's link, it goes bass-snare-snare. Though at 1:32 it augments to bass on 1, snare on 4, I still wouldn't call it 6/8 because it's for like only a few measures and still retains the 3/4 feeling in the verses.

sorry but you are also wrong.

the first number indicates the number of beats per measure.

the second number indicates the type of beat we are counting.

3/4 means there is 3 beats per measure and we are counting quarter notes.

6/8 means there are 6 beats per measure and we are counting eighth notes.

You don't just have rests or "pauses" at the end of each measure.

Nothing Else Matters is 6/4

Honestly the difference between 6/4 and 6/8 is pretty much a preference thing when it's structured like that. I typically see 6/4 when they want to do frequent beat fuckery (3+3 vs 2+2+2 vs 4+2) while 6/8 is used pretty much solely for 3+3 with the occasional 2+2+2 to spice it up.
