Why does this board have such bad taste?

It's sad to see users of this board post their rateyourmusic accounts with about 200 ratings and deathconsciousness and loveless as their only 5s, and not have the self-awareness to acknowledge that they are a colossal plebeian and that their opinions are worthless.

>criticizes random people's taste
>doesn't post his
Based faggot

I don't want toxicity on this site associated with my account because I'm not a degenerate. I have 3600 ratings, which isn't a huge amount but its more than 99% of this board.

Every chart thread is absolutely disgusting

How

There's a fucking thread that suicide is overrated with no real criticism, only "it's boring". I fucking hate arguing with the children on this board who pretend to enjoy music

I started a thread about Jazz the other day, it instantly got derailed because I mentioned Chick Corea in the thread, the whole thread turned into shit flinging about Chick Corea. No actual arguments were made about why Chick Corea was a bad musician. I don't get mad online but it is kinda sad that there isn't actually good music discussion here.

I made a thread that most music made after 2000 is derivative and soulless. I took time to write a detailed explanation of why I believed this to be true and all the comments were just calling me a boomer

Take you pick between Yea Forumscore, pitchfork or FATano. Theyre the reasons why no one on this board exercises independant thought when choosing music to listen to anymore.

I refuse to believe that anyone actually takes pitchfork seriously. I get some of my favorites from scaruffis reviews but... you know... he actuary has good taste

It's so, so, so much worse in Yea Forums

People are never going to stop having a passion for music, I'd be interested in reading your reasons though.
Buddy it ain't 2010 anymore, no one here takes pitchfork seriously. The other two are problems but it's also really fucking easy to just ignore those threads. There is plenty of gold here in generals and some threads.

I can't even imagine. I haven't seen a television show that I've been impressed by on an artistic level and most praised movies are pap. I doubt they'd even consider watching golden age movies

I ignore the lazy/shittasteposting too but its pretty retarded when you have to ignore 90% of the threads here to do so. Personally I will always be posting controversial opinions in prog threads.

What do you mean having passion? I feel there's a purely experimental approach to music that comes with true creativity that is largely missing in today's music. I'd assume this is due to the internet and the increasing influence of society on the individual artist. I can't remember exactly what I wrote, but I certainly spent too much time writing it. I'm always willing to change my opinion but of course I only received boomer responses.

Different user but I agree. Traditionally underground styles have all become commercialised due to the exposure the internet brings. The industry is also set up in a way that where it is too tempting to sell out and dumb down your music for the hordes of shit taste teens and young adults out there. True experimentation is utterly deincentivised.

A lot of people here literally believe there's NO WAY to express why they like a piece or an album beyond "it sounds good to me." When asked why they'll just answer (defensively) "it just sounds good to me, I like it, art is subjective, blah blah blah blah." Nobody's disputing that art is, to a degree or another, subjective, but this idea that it is SO WHOLLY SUBJECTIVE that there is NO POINT in even TRYING to express what is appealing about it is ridiculous.

"Because it's bad," "because I like it," or "just listen to whatever you want" are the ultimate conversation killers.

Deincentivised maybe, but the internet has allowed literally anyone and everyone to publish their experimental music with absolute ease
You and the other user both fall into the boat of thinking that all music is represented by popular, charting, reviewed, etc music. Yeah, rock music has come to an absolute standstill and rap music probably can't even be as experimental as punk was - which was not fucking very. but thanks to the internet, absolutely anyone can publish music and its very easy to find extremely underground shit. "Most music" is released on the internet and hardly heard and there's a lot of it. Music labels have less direct control than ever, even if they are probably tightening their grip and forcing plants harder than ever.

Furthermore, "reviewing" music and telling people what makes it good is not just attaching a bunch of fucking adjectives on it and then saying "I also feel like ...". Tell us about the timbre, music theory, instrumentation, structuring, what could have been left out, and why you think this makes it good music. Do this instead of telling us how the fucking album made you feel, what kind of mood it evoked or any of that related bullshit. Almost no rock music "critic" is capable of this and so the "into music" masses think it's acceptable not to be either.

I've spend days upon days searching for underground music on bandcamp, SoundCloud and other platforms and it's all the same derivative pap. Rock is dead, Hip Hop peaked in the late 80s, Jazz is overrun by artists overly focused on technicality, electronic music has been sterilized in the late 2000s.

>everymans experimental music
Which is extremely mediocre at best. All that results from this is even more trash swamping what little good stuff there is.

The underground is caving in to commercial and popular trends too due to the bigger exposure they have. Just look at the absolute state of metal music now. Noise is much more genuine as underground music but none of its influences are breaking through and affecting music as a whole (which is what needs to happen for fresh developments in music.) Doesnt help that noise is unenjoyable. Just because funk used to be underground in the late 60s didnt mean it wasnt enjoyable music.

I'm sorry you feel that way friends. Bandcamp is mostly a sea of garbage though. There's plenty of exciting genres at their peak, like Field Recordings, Onkyo, Reductionism, etc. Maybe a bit more out there than those ones but definitely worth your time.

I respect that you made the effort to redeem the modern music scene but it really is hard to care when humanity has already made enough great music in the short century long history of popular music to last lifetimes. This isnt even touching upon all the classical that has been made before the age of petrol.

I too wish for some amazing otherworldly new genre of electronic music to supplement all the older music I enjoy. But right now, nothing comes close to even the dance music of the 90s.

Field Recordings are pretentious garbage.

Have you heard Analogue Oceans by cv313? It's amazing. Also what about music like Joanna Newsom's? There is nothing in history that sounds like it and it's absolutely amazing. Post 2000s. This is just one example, there are examples of great music like this.
You have a closed mind.

Its users are literal faggots
see

Joanna Newsom isnt any more radical than a female fronted psych/folk prog band of the late 60s/early 70s. I like the piano melodies though, alot happier than what Renaissance or the Art Bears would play.

What sets cv313 apart from IDM aside from that ambient looping that would have appeared before in 70s analog synth music?

But thanks, may not be as unique as you think but pretty top tier for post 2000s music. As far as post 2000s releases go, some things Ive enjoyed are DFA, Mar de Robles and Scherzoo.
