There is nothing pretentious or wrong with admitting that classical and jazz is the peak form of music in terms of both taste and aesthetics.
I view classical music as a gourmet meal from a restaurant with three Michelin stars.
Rock music is the equivalent of a decent fast food meal from say an In-N-Out, Chipotle or a Chick-fil-A.
Rap music is frozen food, it's barely edible and is enjoyed primary by low income and low IQ people.
aesthetically I swear to god Jazz is the classiest. It’s like any other genre though, only 10% of it or so is actually any good.
heres the final realisation though
genres and styles are stupid bullshit and music is music
I agree with the original statement classical and jazz are the most musically advanced, but they both lack poetry
poetry isnt music
bob dylan isnt comparable to charlie parker in any way, despite the fact that they are both good
christmas music is the best music and if you don't have christmas music in the usic you listne to then you don' t have good music
Jazz isn't nearly as good as the best of classical.
>food analogy
go away, fat
scriabin is brilliant
youtube.com
but it this not of comparable quality?
>music is music
Too bad it's not always that simple and that's a far too simplistic view. "Music is just music" works only in some rare cases.
I didn't mean to imply that poetry was music, they are two completely separate art forms. However music alone cannot convey ideas, you need words for that
The very best of rap music, something like Nas's Illmatic would be comparable to pic related.
It's nice for what is it but it is still frozen food at the end of the day.
I personally haven't heard any jazz that reaches Scriabin's otherworldly piano soundscape, his virtuosity and spirituality, his avant-garde-like borderless relationship between life, art and philosophy that speaks out in his works; however I am looking forward to listening to this though and I am definitely looking into getting back into jazz more seriously, thanks.
>However music alone cannot convey ideas
sure but it can convey more emotion, which is far more fun

It can, but only under certain (mostly cultural) circumstances. Text isn't always necessarily needed. Look into musical gestures, tropes, topics and semiotics if you're interested in that sort of thing.
this reminded me that i need to listen to more scriabin
thanks aswell
epyc maymay
The very best of classical music, something like bach would be comparable to pic related.

Posting my favourite Scriabin sonata just in case

I agree, I listen to romantic era composers 80% of the time, the emotion and virtuosity they put into their works blows my mind even after listening to the same song over and over. But you still can't have a political concerto
oh yeah i misread your post lol
60 IQ post
classical is the most normie friendly genre prove me wrong
You've just lost 20 IQ points
it's up to you to prove why it is, since you are the one making the claim
first scriabin piece i heard actually
amazing opening
i always find it hard to argue with classicalposters when they pull out something incredible like scriabin, or rautavaara, or bach or something
love it when me and my normie friends blast bach's pedal exercises desu

Kendrick Lamar's GKMC is definitely the equivalent of Mi Goreng, it's cool to consume if you're say a student on a budget who can overlook the high sodium content and added MSG so it's fine if you're just looking to tame your hunger quickly, but it can never satisfy you like a good home cooked meal or even a decent fast food sandwich such as the McChicken™

I'm really glad you like it!
I mean at the end of the day it isn't a competition; you like what you're used to. It's hard (and very stupid) to dismiss exceptionally sounding and well-crafted intricate works of music - and that goes for all genres obviously.
scriabin symphony no 2 in c minor op 29 is definitely the equivalent of Mi Goreng, it's cool to consume if you're say a student on a budget who can overlook the high sodium content and added MSG so it's fine if you're just looking to tame your hunger quickly, but it can never satisfy you like a good home cooked meal or even a decent fast food sandwich such as the McChicken™
food analogies are stupid because you don't eat music prove me wrong
i wont because youre right
I want to eat a whole cassette tape just to prove you wrong
I dont hate classical music, its just very hard to get into and very few songs peak my interests.
