Colton Hughes
Everything depends on jannies/mods doing their jobs and god knows this place is practically a wasteland as far as that's concerned.
Basically this The kpop fags are unironically one of the most well-behaved groups on here. Even considering deleting their threads is like poking a wasps' nest with a stick. Better to keep it contained.

make seperate board for K pop
long term issues:
getting people to read the sticky
getting more janitors
getting people to read the rules.

I can repeat all the things said here and many times before but honestly a big problem here that people just fall into bait way to easily. It's easy to ignore the shitty political baits but it doesn't happen and it gets 200+ replies.
Carson Harris
Can we just ban pol posting? Like the discussion surrounding left and right pol music is fine. I really don't care about nazi punk threads and LARPing black metal white supremacists if they just kept to a single thread. I don't want to see the actual political discussion on the board though. It has no place.
John Bailey
Not really, both practices destroy any anonymity. I take it you’re a supporter of discord threads also? Fuck off
Ian Wright
Don’t you know? You’re just an ignorant American if you don’t want political discussion here! Get out of here stupid American, you’re so stupid jeez pay attention to me stupid head!
Mason Morales
No, they fucking don't, and I don't use discord. There's a black and white difference between making non-anonymous posts on Yea Forums and then being able to go on last.fm and see what other Yea Forums-posters are listening to. It lends real accountability to posters here without making their posts any less anonymous. Hell I could be following everyone ITT but I wouldn't know who they are. But I do get to know what people are listening to. now you can fuck off, brainlet.
Evan Smith
Why do you need to know what people are listening to? So you can craft your own delusional ideal of what good music is amongst your peers? Why can’t you just take the recs that are given on Yea Forums? And I don’t know why you think the users of last fm had any insightful recommendations, because anything they’re listening to is most likely entry level shit we’ve all heard, entry level shit that would’ve been posted on Yea Forums anyway! So basically, we’ve come full circle and the only point of last fm was to show off your music taste in a gambit to become more secure with yourself, your own cult of personality based on fuckin music of all things. Please fuck off or admit you just want people to know who you are

Make a new board for music older than 15 years. Or anything outside the current cultural zeitgeist. Similar to /vr/. Then make Yea Forums specifically for current relevant music. As much as I like older stuff, it's not relevant anymore. Especially the old old stuff like 60s-80s stuff everything's already been said and there isn't really any room for new discussion

I saw some fun and creative threads here recently
There is also a lot of mediocre ones, so here is an idea:
Why don't we make more threads of the kind we would like to see, and not reply to bait and political threads?
And reply to cool threads?
Robert Williams
Ban mobile posting
Alexander Hall
Nothing wrong with mobile posting. Some of us have lives
Cooper Clark
>>Bring back the massaposter
fuck you that guy was horrendous, at least bring back the fat-tay poster
Cooper White
My problems with mobile users:
1) It's hard to type on touchscreens. This means people are more likely to make shorter posts, with shorter words in. This obviously leads to a lowered level of discourse.
2) It's hard to read due to the smaller screen. This applies to boards, threads and posts. A long post is more likely to be ignored on a phone as it is just so hard to read. If a thread is several hundred posts long then it just won't be read through, and the phone user's post has more chance of being irrelevant to the discussion. And it's harder to browse boards too, possibly meaning increased likelihood of duplication of threads as mobile users miss/can't be bothered to check for them.
3) Images. Many of us have hundreds if not thousands of images saved and meticulously catalogued. This is an image board of course. It's not outrageous to suggest that people on mobile devices don't have that many, and that they're not well organised. Plus, it's harder to quickly save a new image if you don't have one that fits to what you want, or if you're searching for something in particular. Not impossible, but harder. So, mobile users almost certainly have less images, which are organised poorly, and it's a pain to quickly get a new one. So what will this lead to? Spamming of the same few images over and over again. As more mobile users see these, they'll save them and keep posting them too. An epic new maymay is born.
4) Difficult to research on. I almost didn't include this, as many people on standard computers don't research either, but I decided to because it's so much harder to on mobile devices. Without easy access to information, discussion will just revolve around what people think and shout the loudest, rather than actually checking their facts with a quick ctrl-t.
cont.
Isaac Wilson
5) Easy to ban evade from. As OP said, or even just connecting to multiple wifi networks as they go about their day. Obviously this could be done with a laptop, and lots of IPs can be changed with a router reset. However, this is not a reason to allow those who can do it so easily and perhaps without even realising.
6) Used when on the go so less likely to get deeply into discussion. If people can sit down at their computer and post, 99% of the time they will. Most people would only use their mobile device if they're out and about doing something, perhaps browsing during their break at work or during a gap in classes. I feel this style of browsing, this dipping in and out will lead to lower quality of discussion too. If you've only got a few minutes you're not going to open a thread with hundreds of long replies, then type one up yourself and reply to comments. No, you'll just find a short funny one and post a short funny comment and move on. Then later when you've got another few minutes you might come back to it, or go onto another easily digestible thread. I anticipate someone bringing up public transport here, to which I will just respond with "Why the fuck do you want to post on Yea Forums whilst on the bus?".
I could think of more reasons, but this is probably the bulk of my argument and is enough to be getting on with. A brief summary would be something like:
Mobile users are inherently less likely to post high quality content, both text and images, due to the limitations of the device. This combined with the site being more difficult to use due to the smaller screen means that low quality threads are more likely to be made, and filled with low quality replies and a small number of images posted over and over again. This low quality will be compounded by it being nearly impossible to ban anyone at all who breaks the rules on these devices, and by such users only using the site "casually" ie during a gap between other things.
Dylan James
not enough generals to warrant that and it'll separate actual cohesive threads from the shitpile. like /vg/ and /vr/ or Yea Forums
Josiah White

i doubt anyone will read this but I tiped it anyway
i...dont think you can save Yea Forums or any board
the driving filter (at least how i see it but feel free to correct me) is board culture enforced by the regular visitors of a board usually when someone new would come on a board they would either lurk quite a while to learn how a board works and the slowly start etching their way into the general population, this makes it feel earned to be "part" of a board, that being said their was the majority that came unto a board, made a billigerantly stupid thread and got offended when people offered him science based fact on why he is stupid and should kill himself, and he moved on
recently however theirs been a huge influx of people that use Yea Forums and it destroyed board culture so much that anyone can post the stupedest shit and still feel welcome (sound familiar?)
the catch is hat these stupid posts are vaguely related to the board, thats why /r9k/ has become tumblr (or at least thats what the refugees say, i could never stand the board myself) and Yea Forums is so full of people that doesnt know the first thing about what actually makes a show good
imo Yea Forums and (dare I say) Yea Forums has (arguably) by far gotten off the best because they are so full of niche groups
Hunter Johnson
>they dont do anything its only 1 thread and they're contained
It's consistently at the top of the board and overshadowing other threads. Not even including that most of the discussion is people talking about who they want to fuck.
Angel Garcia
God is it so bad that I wanna come to Yea Forums after I nut from /gif/ you asshole.
Eli Parker
Maybe by bringing tripfags and elitism back. If not tripfags, then only more discussion about varied and less talked about albums. The main problem is repetitive discussions about same albums and lack of quality discussions and lengthy, non-shitpost, non-meme posts. The best discussions I come across are on threads about rarely posted albums, genres, artists, countries. It's because anons that are knowledgeable about these topics will see this as their time to shine and share some interesting insight for others to learn, enjoy and think about and build a healthy discussion out of it.
Most oldfags have no interest in discussing Yea Forumscore albums anymore because they have seen and said everything about them that could possibly have been said. Nowadays when I see a thread with Loveless intro pic and title "Can someone explain the appeal?", I see no interest in going into that thread and writing anything meaningful anymore after so many years, although I love it with all my heart. It has become tiring. Obscure albums on the other hand provide something refreshing and lively to talk about.

What an absolutely terrible idea, the zoomer cucks taking over this board thrive on pseudo-elitism, the only thing adding more elitism will bring is more bullshit, as for the threads... i will admit they have gone a bit stale, but they serve thier purpose, which is to bring more (somewhat) coherant people here through a niche

I still don't get why you retards think killing the kpop general will somehow save Yea Forums. I don't like them but they don't disturb the rest of the board at all, just use a filter or manually hide their thread. Metalfags on the other hand are always whining about other genres and no one here wants them out
not gonna happen, there are too many r9kfags/poltards and not enough mods. The key is to ignore their replies or at least sage
Yea Forums third worlders have better taste than the rest in my experience
Jason Lopez
nice idea user, that’ll definitely happen sometime soon
Owen Nelson
trips of truth. Every time I try to actually discuss music outside Yea Forumscore my threads die with 1 person calling me based or 1 simple bump. Fuck everyone in this board
Landon Walker
Is this bait? Why the fuck are you posting on Yea Forums still at 40 lmao
Colton Kelly
I know we like to pretend that Yea Forums is actually 18+ but anyone who has been posting on Yea Forums long enough knows this board has always attracted kids in their mid teens. It's always been one of the core demographics
Zachary Perry
This, this board easily has one of the younger demographics across the site.
Jordan Campbell
I started shitposting on Yea Forums in high school. Around the time the Exmilitary mixtapes started making the rounds on here. The guys who have aged out of their teens on here forgot when they started posting here. I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of posters on here were in a similar age range when they first came around
Aiden Lee
the core users are college anons and maybe boomers tho (except the notable exception of the board that must not be named), they have 9gag and plebbit thats basically built for them
Luis Perez
When you complain about Yea Forums think for a second about what it would mean for it to be "better". The only thing that would fundamentally change the content of the board would be a change in the users. You want more discussion of your favorite genre? The only thing that will cause that is more anons who know about that genre coming to the board. You can't make that happen with rules or complaining. It's not like there are thousands of high quality posters who would all be making high quality posts all the time but they're just being distracted by shitposting threads. The anons you want to "discuss music" with in some overly serious way just aren't here. Go find them wherever they are.
Personally I would like the mods to ban the schizo faggot who keeps spamming hip hop and other retarded shit in /bleep/. It would also be nice if hip hop, top 40, and waifu shit were banned but that's not gonna happen so I just ignore it. I actually think there's a lot of great humor in the shitposting on Yea Forums, and I wouldn't want to change that.
Jack Hall
I was like 15
Angel Parker
We can't, in the long run, because the quality of boards is just determined by the quality of the people in them. If your people are shit, you're going to have the shittiest shit possible that doesn't blatantly break the rules.
Isaac Kelly
I don't ask for much, just want less left wing/ring wing or whatever shitposting (there are political albums so keep those thoughts contained to them etc) and probably keep e-celeb talk/worship to a single thread. but since we have shit for moderation, I am wasting my time thinking/typing about this.
Henry Wright
I feel the same, this is true for every form of entertainment rn user
Lincoln Thompson
>the zoomer cucks taking over this board thrive on pseudo-elitism,
But this is not true. So many newfags currently unironically discuss mumble rappers and generic top 40 stuff. Do you know what happened to Yea Forums? That board currently only consists of discussing superhero movies, most generic Netflix series, twitter feuds, ecelebs, etc. And Yea Forums is on very good way of it happening to it as well.
I mean, if constant stale and repetitive discussion of Yea Forums-core albums is for bringing more coherent people through a niche, that's fine by me. But number of those threads should be reduced because serious discussion of such albums has become nearly impossible. By elitism I didn't mean being pretentious and egoistic, but simply discussing albums that have fewer than one thousand RYM ratings and such, great albums that should definitely get more exposure and generate meaningful discussion.
Noah Peterson

Angel Bell
I hate posting this all over the time all over this fucking website but Yea Forums got notably worse with the reinstatement of /pol/ and the subsequent election. I dont give a shit about posting alongside alt righties or lefties. I just hate seeing a conversation about US politics every time I browse co, mu, or some other third board. It's no longer escapable. I just wanna shitpost and discuss about music. The baiting and false flag posting is off the fucking charts and people keep playing into it.
Nathan Gutierrez
There's a lot of 60s-70s-80s albums that are little discussed on Yea Forums. For example, there is one thread about classic soul and R&B for every 50 threads about Pet Sounds or Station to Station.
Owen Butler
Yea Forums was never good to begin with. It started out as a shitty circlejerk for tripfags so that they could measure their e-peens over music taste, which people here take such pride in even though it means jack fucking shit anywhere else aside from RYM, which is even more shit than this place.
Christopher Adams
This reads like a Chris Ott take. Not necessarily a criticism of the post, just an observation.

Mason Turner
shitposting is funny and keeps the board from becoming reddit. Entry level classic rock includes many ultimate classic albums. The only rules necessary to fix Yea Forums are: no hip hop, no top 40, no waifus. Not just because these topics are garbage, but because if these topics were banned the kind of posters who post about these topics would leave and that would solve everything else.
Aaron Rivera
>elitism
this. new users from hiphopheads/indieheads/fantano/kanyetothe are a little too emboldened for how unaware and dumb they are. i've never seen this place more casual which is why the Yea Forumscore threads are still so prominent.
Gabriel Jenkins
See >we can't discuss a currently happening music movement like Soundcloud rap but we can discuss Pet Sounds for the 800th time

The distinctino is not "old" vs "current". It's shit vs good. But anyway, banning hip hop, top 40, and waifushit would fix everything, or as you say, making a new board where these things are banned.

Shitposting is so bad and vanilla now. Unfunny newfaggots want to be funny and get their quote dopamine so badly that they'll settle for being unfunny as long as it looks like they're doing it ironically. The board is a melting pot of casuals now.
John Clark
Is there any Paramore or Chvrches discussion that's actually about the music and not waifuposting?

i agree with this it would solve all problems
Nathan Garcia
You know you don't _have_ to participate in Pet Sounds thread #84884904. You can just hide and ignore it.
Colton Carter

Michael Wilson

Josiah Green
And let's be honest, the quality of the discussion is usually higher than it is in Soundcloud rap or Ariana Grande threads.
Nolan Barnes
We should just do some total meme bullshit. Like give every person a counter that says bands listened to. And every thread you make about a band gets you a point for your counter.

Ban any threads about "Is rock dead?" "What can we do to bring rock back?" and "Is hip-hop the new rock?" because they're Reddit-level.

>The best discussions I come across are on threads about rarely posted albums, genres, artists, countries. It's because anons that are knowledgeable about these topics will see this as their time to shine and share some interesting insight for others to learn, enjoy and think about and build a healthy discussion out of it.
And why do KISS threads always get such quality discussion.
Joshua Johnson
>There's a lot of 60s-70s-80s albums that are little discussed on Yea Forums
What would you have us discuss? The Osmonds? Barbara Mandrell? Olivia-Newton John? If it's not discussed, it's generally for a reason.
Nathaniel Diaz
Why would you want to
The older userbase that made the board gain its reputation for anything at all has largely grown out of this board, hopefully doing more interesting things Now I would wager that the majority of Yea Forums consists of zoomers currently, and this increasing demographic change just means that the board culture will change along with it.
It doesn't matter what you ban, what you promote, et cetera, it won't do anything to seriously change the demographic.
At this point, the best thing you can do if you're really bothered by it is to migrate to some other forum for music discussion, or better yet, find some community of people IRL and letting Yea Forums predominantly define your experience with music.

If you see waifuposters, direct them to the board in pic related. A couple of them have started to post there and if we spread the word, they might just go and live on that board instead lmao
Xavier Clark
All discussion of female musicians ultimately turns into waifushit. Even a guy like Christgau who claims to be a male feminist is no different than anyone else--his main interest in female musicians is based on whether or not he wants to fuck them.
Jaxson Jackson
Okay then, younger people, or people who were born in the early 2000s, or whatever term is socially acceptable now
My point stands that if you're wondering why new Yea Forums is so much worse than old Yea Forums it's probably because you're past the average age for this board, or you weren't really around for what you consider to be old Yea Forums.

Let's just ban rock and hip hop. Feel free to talk about those genres on reddit instead.
Also, we need to have some /trad/ and /rnb/ generals that last.

Yep, it's the ol' Moviebob argument. "Wwwell, it always sucked, you just think it didn't because you were a kid back then."
James Reed
Old Yea Forums was mostly just circlejerking over P4k indie.
Hunter Campbell
I think the quality of the board has gone downhill just because there hasn't been much good new music lately. Honestly, the early 2010s was a lot stronger.
Liam Robinson
No, it's always sucked, but for different reasons. Yea Forums has gone from to whatever the hell you would call it now. The qualities that may have attracted you to this board in the first place probably don't exist anymore. This board will probably never have the same influence it used to, when there were plenty of bands that could gain considerably popularity online just by being spammed here.
My real point is that this can't be changed, simply because it's a demographic issue.
Jonathan Mitchell
Back in circa 2012 it was not accepted on Yea Forums for the most part to discuss hip-hop, top 40, and entry-level dadrock. So you can keep repeating this Moviebob argument all you want, but...

Back then it was mostly a lot of posting over indie girls like Lana Del Rey, Grimes, and St. Vincent. P4k has declined in relevance since it was bought by Conde Nast.
Aaron Hernandez
Do you not remember back then? That was when there would be daily >tfw no gf threads that went to the bump limit.
Nolan Hernandez
/gg/ needs to be nuked already. It's easily the worst general not just on Yea Forums, but on the whole fucking site. Barely any productive discussion happens and it has devolved entirely to whining about namefags.
Aaron Moore
imagine being this buthurt about falling into a demographic
Xavier White
Generation labels are mostly made up for easy marketing purposes.
Adrian Cox
Like what the fuck does this have to do with music.
Samuel Turner
I'm disappointed at how dead /metal/ is and this decade has been so poor for new metal releases that there's hardly anything to discuss.
Josiah Rodriguez
I hadn't thought about that either, but you could be right.
Tyler James
this is pretty true. Post-2015 there really just isn’t that much remarkable stuff to talk about. It hasn’t been like godawful or anything just really standard and boring
Jason Cox

Oliver Cruz
Also was Shake It Off the last really big pop anthem? I can't remember any since.
Landon Hall
2010-14 you had a still very strong pop scene, you had the golden age of P4k indie girls, hip-hop was measurably stronger. P4k has become irrelevant now, hip-hop has become unlistenable, and pop has become 90s level of weak.
Daniel Cox

someone made a good argument for keeping kpop general. where do you think theyll go if you remove those? kpopfags in YOUR thread, its more likely than you think.
Mason Allen
>he thinks you can save Yea Forums
Isaac Taylor
Fuck Yea Forums
Thomas Roberts
when people say they dont want kpop generals they mean they need either their own containment board or to ban all kpop related discussion unless its vague but honestly if the general was removed theyd disperse and dissipate out themselves

how the fuck can anyone arrive at this opinion? do you guys even like music?
Julian Hill
you're kind of right. I've been on here since I was an edgy teen in the late 2000's. Been posting actively since like 2014? Yea Forums kind of has gotten off a little better. Yea Forums became something known because of Yea Forums and the shit spewing out of it. It was meme central for a minute. And once people found out there was more than just degeneracy and people could talk about other things, they moved onto a board. Some came here, others to Yea Forums or Yea Forums, so on. But Yea Forums really is a tight group. Fuck man, posting back in the day really required you to know something or else get fucking ruined. Now anyone with any semblance of a music taste comes here and board culture has been ruined horribly. I've been super split on leaving, but I haven't made my mind up. There's some good people that post here still, but it's becoming harder to find a thread to go into and enjoy more and more. Feels bad man.
Alexander Collins
then it would just be a hellhole of memerap troll threads with pictures of rappers, ariana grande threads by bitter faggots from /r9k/ who need to endlessly hate-orbit thots, pepe 'that feel when no gf' threads and mitski's tits threads
it's the people discussing older music that makes this board vaguely music related

Get rid of Kpop general. This isn't just a matter of me not liking Kpop. There is no musical discussion in those threads. It's just thirsty virgins whacking off to cute asian girls. It's off-topic and it lowers the overall quality of the board even when you filter it.

There should be flags on Yea Forums, even if only for like a week or a month or something. It would be cool to get an idea of who's posting. I suspect it's 90% Americans (I am burger also). Also would be interested to see how much of the inability of Yea Forumstants to type sentences of English is ironic and how much is actually ESL. I find it hilarious either way.
