Domination of lyrics is precisely for the benefit of unmusical people. Music is supposed to convey its meaning via melody, which of course must be interpreted for the message (=feeling) to be received, but peasants don't have the attention span or subtlety for that, ergo lyrics are introduced to literally tell the peasants the meaning. Wherever lyrics are introduced they dominate in the listener's ear, to the detriment of the music, because their meaning is easier to interpret. Least dominant in opera, out of all the lyrical forms, which is why opera can be pretty good music. Utterly dominant in rap, which is why rap features such shitty music, usually even stolen from a catchy pop tune, since rappers can't even be bothered to compose anything.

youre pretty based and also redpilled i should add. also that you posted that pic of aphex twin makes me like you even more.
Rhythm > timbre > harmony > melody > lyrics
"convey it's meaning" is an extremely brainlet take on the role of art.
art should not "mean" but rather "be"
your job as an artist is to incarnate an essence in your works.
Which is why lyrics is a pleb musical format that doesn't work for music to just "be"
So OP is very right
aphex twin is overrated shit

Yeah god forbid people use words to express themselves
tl;dr rap sucks
I remember being 16 and discovering IDM too
t. underage autistic gaysex twink fan
Dude, you’re so fucking smart, how many boobs have you seen in real life?
t. brainlet who doesnt understand electronic music
If you wanna use words to express yourself like a psued then go right ahead and go to your local Onions bar on poetry slam night.
Is Bob Dylan poopy man?
>t, Someone who doesn't know shit about literature
this, and his fans are so fucking insufferable

lyrics don't matter, aphex twin still sucks though
agreed, music isn't poetry
Whereas you're just shit.

i bet you listen to burial faggot
No they aren't. Stupid fuckwads who discovered Richard through Kanye are not Aphex Twin fans.
I don’t understand this.
I listen to music usually for melody, but sometimes lyrics stick out to me. Is there something wrong with me?
/thread
Even though I think RDJ album is a 10/10, you’re right. There are tons of idm musicians as good as him imo.
>typing out your opinion
why dont you go write a fuckin melody to convey the message of this post. how much of a brainlet do you have to be to think that no lyrics = good music
Songs aren't poetry either.
>Music is supposed to
Stopped reading here. Anyone who says anything along these lines does not understand music, let alone art in general, and should trash their collection immediately
I wouldn't say hes shit but he is extremely overrated.
Based & redpilled
in this moment of my life I can't relate to any of the lyrics from any song, even more so if the genre is trap/rap
some rhymes from kendrick, kanye and death grips are "kinda" relatable, but other than this we live in a pretty shallow period of time, void of any deeper meaning
most songs are being written to "induce a felling" of self empowerment and are pretty selfish
but also, I usually cant relate to any "authorial" or "deep" lyricist/lyrics
also, ICBYD is the perfect kino AFX album
>electronic music
lol
Based and redpilled
I agree.
I know. Actual aphex twix fans are much worse. I never listen to idm in public in fear of being found by an annoying mouthbreathing faggot obsessed with him
>those kids that related to metal lyrics
This absolutely kills me. What's even worse is the thought that these 'deep thinkers' in the bands write that shit without feeling embarrassed for writing that teenage angst drivel.

lyrics for me are the least important part of a song. you can ignore them altogether and find a meaning that completely goes against the lyrics.
however, to say that lyrics are mainly for unmusical people is just retarded. the origins of the western musical tradition are firmly rooted in choral arrangements with YES... LYRICS!!!!! LATIN!!!!!
You're just trying to be a fucking snob.

*blocks your thesis*
The best boobs will never be close to as rich of an experience as the best music.
boobs are pretty nice, truth be told. especially when they're attached to a fine lady that you love.
In truth, both of them aren't far apart in richness.
lol. you fucking punks throw that word around like you breath air.
OHH YOU GOT ME!!! DANGIT!!!!! WHOOPS!!
ive seen this posted almost a hundred times yet not a single user has explained why
That's because it's always either ironic or teenage contrarians.

Holy shit those are nice. Cute girl, I love little asians.
>claiming there's a specific way music is "supposed" to be and words can only mean one thing
To hold this view would be so narrow minded that I would suspect you have genuine autism. Like you cant fathom the idea that WORDS can also have complex meaning and must be deciphered as well, like dude words and phrases don't always have a specific meaning and lyrics are often writte intentionally vague or poetically to allow for multiple interpretations.
>chink
Into the trash it goes.
this is a great work of art that transports me
rhythm = timbre + harmony + melody + lyrics
He's good his biggest fans like the watmm crowd are just obnoxious (even towards aphex twin) and they're probably bitter about an encounter with a fan online
>Music is supposed to convey its meaning via melody
AHAHA
ahaha
aha
aha
ha lol
>Music is supposed to convey its meaning via melody
dumbass strict definition. there's tons of instrumental music that doesn't rely on melody. music isn't "supposed" to do one thing or another anyway, there aren't any rules
