>Max Roscoe is an aspiring philosopher king, living the dream, travelling the world, hoarding FRNs and ignoring Americunts. He is a European at heart, lover of Latinas, and currently residing in the USA.

Great, so why bother posting the article at all?

>Modern classical music is like modern art. One big garbled mess.
Clickbait, right from the start. One could stop reading right there.

To start a sophisticated musical discussion on /mu/ of course

>As this worship of ugliness has marginalized natural beauty, likewise, modern classical music teaches us that dissonant chords, out-of-key incongruous sounds, and loud, harsh noises are pleasant and desirable. Gone are the naturally pleasing chords and intonations which music theory teaches are good. Listening to a modern classical piece is truly like watching the Emperor parade around in his new clothes.
Spoken like someone who's never taken the time to achieve even a slightest understanding of music theory, compositional techniques or at least music history.

Reads like a shitty political screed only partly connected with music.

>The problem with modern musical pieces is that the entire symphony is one 40 minute assault of dissonant sounds. It’s like listening to a 40 minute standup routine with no punchlines.
He keeps piling them on.
>While there is a biological basis for some natural level of homosexuality, the large numbers of deviant lifestyles today, including bisexual, pansexual, or any of the other 49 flavors of crazy are nothing more than emotional outbursts of troubled minds who know of no better way to express their frustration than to shun the norms and mores of their culture.
And, we're done.

Twenty bucks on him being a born again Christian?

>European at heart
>favourite piece of music by Aaron Copland
>Stephen King as an example of a good modern writer
>le dignified looking avatar lifted from Barry Lyndon

Inanity and dilettantism of the article aside, it's always so endearing to see a burger who has this inferiority complex that he compensates for with things he deems "classy." It's like those lottery winners who buy mansions with golden toilettes.

Not opening your clickbait bullshit also he's wrong. Philip Glass just wrote another symphony this year and there's tons of new classical music that is good. Go shill somewhere else.

There's nothing wrong with liking Copland. Fuck you. The rest of that stuff is obviously pseud garbage though.

This is not true though. I bet he doesn't actually listen to modern classical and just knows about it through the "All modern classical is atonal" meme which is completely wrong.

You're right it isn't. Still, American composer par excellence. So it's more me wondering on how many levels of cognitive dissonance is the author on.

Just let this thread die.
