>There is absolutely nothing separating bowies quality/brand of pop music from modern pop
>le wrong generation, amirite? xD
Fuck off, nerd.

>eclectic
Well I think the point is that he was eclectic in a time of rigid boundaries. Now that all music tends towards eclecticism it is less remarkable. Certainly as you say most modern pop owes a huge debt to Bowie.

Ironically, /mu/'s musical illiteracy hinders them most when they're attempting to describe straightforward pop.

>>74915151
he literally said the opposite. he's calling out defeners you moron.

>>74915217
Mick Ronson was a talented guitarist.

>>74915244
He's saying Bowie's music is shit because it's like modern pop, implying modern pop is inherently bad. Back to remedial english, pal.

>>74915110
What's your favourite Bowie album OP?

>>74915293
he didn't say it was bad, he said it was "style over substance" and "unremarkable" which for the most part it is (statistically speaking), but it can be enjoyable nonetheless.
plus wrong generationers suck bowie's cock by definition.

>>74915110
Style is substance you fucking mong. If you listen to music for any other reasons besides aesthetics you're a fucking dipshit and probably a boring person.

Music is about what sounds good and that's it.

Kys.

>>74915127
Why does /mu/ dislike Reality?

>>74915392
>Under this same logic is the reason terrible artists like lil pump and designer are famous today.
Wrong generation fags hate modern pop because it is exactly that. He thinks Bowie is like modern pop, so he doesn't like it.
>(statistically speaking)
You're a fucking nerd, too.

>t. brainlet

Guys I found the Scaruffi ass licker

>>74915485
you win the discourse award

>>74915217
>this is musical literacy

>>74915407
I thought summer was over...

>>74915293
How? I said that Bowie was just a pop artist of his time. Just like nowadays there are current pop artists. As his music wasn't anything special, he's been replaced by more newer artists. I'm not saying modern pop is bad, how did you interpret it that way?

>>74915264
for you

>>74915479
>You're a fucking nerd, too.
trying too hard to be a chad buddy.
you do browse /mu/ so we already know you're a numale who got bullied as a kid. what're you trying to prove? that you're a brainlet on top of that?

>>74915407
You need to go back.

>>74915670
>As his music wasn't anything special, he's been replaced by more newer artists.
What? There will always be new artists to replace older ones. This has and will continue to happen in every single genre, forever.

>>74915710
No, I just don't pretend I can use statistics can say anything about subjective art.

>>74915735
Yes, and Bowie's music was completely unremarkable pop. There's absolutely no reason to remember it besides nostalgia - the only other reason would be if you're just in it for the aesthetic (my entire point of his modern fanbase).

>>74915763
are you dense?
if we admit that the quality of music can be quantified then "most of it" has to be unremarkable
>hurr durr art is subjective
cunt

>>74915908
It doesn't matter if you think there's no "reason" to remember it. Bowie's an icon and his music will be remembered anyway.
>the only other reason would be if you're just in it for the aesthetic
You mean listening to it because you like the way it sounds? That's why people listen to music at all. I'm 24, it's certainly not nostalgic to me. I just like it. You have no reason to like it, that's fine. Doesn't mean no one does.

>>74915908

Nobody really cares about Bowie's aesthetic apart from a few tumblr fangirls who paint a lightning bolt on their face and say they're Ziggy, even though it's Aladdin Sane.

Apart from his 80s albums his music wasn't unremarkable pop at all, he did drum n bass, jungle, industrial, electronic, jazz, soul, glam, ambient etc

>>74915964
Most of it? I guess in the grand scale of all music, sure. But to say that a household name like Bowie is unremarkable is plain wrong.
Unless art is subjective.
