Where do I start with Mark Fisher?

Because identity politics are just another phase of unbridled capitalism.

Ad hominem. We aren't arguing about his personal life

>We aren't arguing about his personal life
Than you aren't arguing about his work.

Dishonest post. My second part there states that this life choice was grounded in his very ontology, one of total nihilism that extended to a coldness regarding other people. The point being how is all his writing on arguing for the value of the social have any ethical value when it was grounded in such a nihilistic view that there's not even any regard for others to base it in? I always presumed there was an abyss underneath and undercutting his arguments, and his suicide was the perfect expression and culmination of it. I'd read his whole blog, followed it when he was still writing on it, and soon came to realize this problem. It's a sickly nihilism he inherited from Land, and at least Land just how completely amoral such a view actually is, and how incompatible it is with any socialism.

Continuing.

I mean, I felt sorry for him. I think his end was very sad, but see, he doesn't have room for such sentiment. He completely abandoned any such love or consideration for others, and of course demonstrated when he destroyed his own son's life. My sympathy for him ends where he tried to spread his own cold view to others.

You don't.

Reposting this in honor of the user who originally posted it and saved me a nice chunk of change.

Damn...

Ah, so Fisher was just a meme?

trap music is like 15 years old dude

Presumably because your knowledge and understanding of the field is rather limited, and thus it has escaped your perception up until now.

This new wave of music can't even be considered to just be trap. If so it's only a new version of subcategory of it that has come about more recently. The SoundCloud subgenre is really unique in its sound and lyrics and so can be said to define this generation.

It's not simple trap music. Lil Peep doesn't even rap for the most part. He mixes a bunch of genres like emo with it

Music today doesn't sound anything like 15 years ago, certainly not the trap. Just as rock of the 70s didn't sound like rock n roll of the 50s. Mark's obsession with this idea was offbase, it turns out. Mainly because he'd been so prepped by postpunk and then jungle to expect music to evolve now in a really cliched futuristic sort of way, with a sense of progress or social movement akin to the 60s, but things evolved in other ways, which is how life changes - not in the way you necessarily expect or want it to.

Really, most of his writing comes down to a middle aged man saying "history was SUPPOSED to look like this, and I'm getting depressed about it!!".

Was going to add that sure, as anyone is aware, there are areas where corporate culture produces lazy focused-grouped material that might be remakes or reboots. It's relevant of certain niches or dried-up areas, but not all-pervasive. In the case of blockbusters, it was just a matter of shareholders having come to expect such astronomical profits that they have to resort to the most predictable formulas to deliver to the lowest common denominator. But why focus on that shit? Oh, right, because Mark was depressive and old, and wanted everyone else to feel as bad as he did.

He might be going a little overboard but there are a ton of modern bands that are just recreating older sounds. It's probably just the result of it all becoming so widely available through the internet but it's still the case that people aren't being as inventive anymore. Hip hop seems to be the most versatile but even that seems to be just mixing it with 20th century genres like hip hop + soul, punk etc

His anus

There is nothing wrong with that. He was just a showman for an artistic act, even if the most he did was providing vocals and lyrics

>Mark Fisher
don't bother

I think modern rap is quite unique. The new rap style and flow is really original. As funny as it sounds I think of xxxtentacion (RIP), playboi carti and Migos who have a very distinct rap style that has never been seen before and has influenced the whole rap game.
