Wow....groundbreaking stuff
are you an academic? why do you think you deserve to have an opinion on academic art?
go back to youtube dubstep compilations
Amazing that 4'33" still manages to twist peoples' nipples nearly 70 years after its first performance
Actually it is groundbreaking. Imagine the new european copyright legislation (enforceable only with copyright filters).
This is legitimate music. A proper copyright filter would have to deny any video without sound in order to ensure that it does not infringe the copyrights of 4'33". From the grave, John Cage established the absurdity of automated copyright infrigement detection for everyone to see. And this is just one aspect of it. Another one is put forward by Type O Negative in their adaptation, "The Misinterpretation Of Silence And Its Disastrous Consequences", a title ironically addressing your ignorance on this subject.
Nah just fucking with you, I'm sure your ironic verdict is the result of a thorough precursing thought process.
not really. The Holocaust, a comparatively mild affront to the human condition, is still the subject of an even greater amount of whining more than 80 years on.

That was plain english without obscure references, fancy words or hard to understand thoughts embedded. You escalation to this meme response can only be seen as giving voice to totally unnecessary intimidation. Why the fuck do you think you need to falter at what I wrote?
don't stumble over that edge of yours, might fall and cut your empty head open
Reddit: The performance
One could argue that a composition putting into question common notions about what constitutes music is far less of an affront to the human condition than the industrial killing of millions, but this argument would include the same obliviousness to what "the human condition" actually means than did your original post.
Cagefags on suicide watch
How would you perform this composition or is your beef in fact with the composition itself rather than the performance?
I actually don't understand what he meant by "the emperor is naked" with respect to 4'33". Everybody, regardless of whether they like the composition or not, are fully aware that it consists solely of silence whereas "The Emperor's new clothes" actually includes the claim that the nothing they sold the emperor is actually physical fabric.
I don't think Dawkins had his brightest moment with this tweet.
His own accomplishments aside he's on par with soccer moms in terms of musical fluency
so is Cage tho
He was a student of Arnold Schoenberg so no
That is an incorrect statement if I ever saw one.
John cage is a nigger
Schoenberg basically told him to GTFO
"I certainly had no feeling for harmony, and Schoenberg thought that that would make it impossible for me to write music. He said, "You'll come to a wall you won't be able to get through." I said, "Well then, I'll beat my head against that wall." I quite literally began hitting things, and developed a music of percussion that involved noises."
-Degenerate faggot and antimusician John Cage
Cage fully grasped Schoenberg's lessons in counterpoint and harmony (see: The Selected Letters of John Cage). It is far more than Dawkins can ever say
lol, why would I want to read about a piece of shit postmodern wanker like Cage? No, fuck you.
Got em
Cage isn't postmodern
>Cage isn't postmodern
Tell me what makes him postmodern
saw the pic and already knew what this was going to be without even reading the title. You guys really need to get more creative, this board is boring the shit out of me
>industrial killing of millions
yeah, if it had actually happened I agree it would be a horrible thing
His belief that music is just any collection of sounds (or hell, no sounds at all). His aleatoric crap. His general pretensions of eastern mysticism to justify his unmusical garbage as music (you know, because its not apparently so).
Hmmm sounds pretty modernist to me, no?
no, modernism is exploring new musical modalities, not extramusical ones like assigning pitches to stars in a star map and then writing down that crap and passing it off as music.
I unironically believe that even if the Holocaust had happened it wouldn't be as offensive to humans as 4'33''.
same desu
fpwp
That's all modernism mate
I hope Mossad fucking takes you trashbags out already

Ouch!
