>Japanese cringe right off the bat
>it comprises most of the list
>a bunch of eclectic literally who's to make you seem like a patrician
Umm, yeah, no this is gonna be a yikes and bluepilled from me dawg

>if it's not from anglo-speaking countries, it's cringe!
Cringe.

I like ethio-jazz. Japanese shit is usually just derivative of western styles, only repackaged for Japanese people with a different culture.

>Nagomu Records
Not really sure, I don't think so. I will have a look at this, thanks

>I like ethio-jazz
Show me your physical collection.
Anyway, modern music is just derivative of ancient sounds made of bones, stones, wood and animal leather, so what?

Show me your physical collection of japanese shit.
>modern music is blah blah
Yeah, so what? I mean that literally isnt relevant to the argument so I can safely say I agree with you

>i like ethno jazz
>i don't like when japanese people put their own spin on western genres
what's it like to have the iq of a gold fish, user?
solid list invalidated immediately by your need to prove your "elite taste" to Yea Forums of all places, YUGH

>Show me your physical collection of japanese shit.
okay, here's some demo tapes lol
I'll be waiting to see your ethio shit.
>Yeah, so what? I mean that literally isnt relevant to the argument
It's relevant, since everything is derivative of something else.

I didn't say ethno jazz lmao. What's it like having the reading comprehension of a total moron?

He's still right though, you claim to not like Japanese music because it's derivative of western styles, yet you like derivative American music made by ethiopians.

Ethio-jazz is anything but derivative, which you'd both know if you had any culture. Just saying.

Suuuure thing man, japan = bad, ethiopia = good, sure sure.

Same, as well as Qaraami and AFro-funk

>none of these are found on spotify

thanks for nothing, i guess

That's not a valid argument, we're talking about music.

>jazz from Ethiopia
>from Éthiopiques of course

please, explain how does this make you not a hypocritical wannabe world music connoisseur?

>I like ethio-jazz, it isn't just a funny copy of american jazz, it's super original!

good taste user

>we're talking about music
Nice joke, you only stepped into the thread because you were angry some other user listened to music from a country you don't care for.
At least you're bumping the thread, I guess.

Because I like the music of some countries more than others does not make me a hypocrite.
>le redditor sperg dips into his 2.5 gb wojak edit folder
Y'all are the reason this site is in the gutter
>music from a country you dont care for
>music
>music
Hmmmmmmmm
That's not even true btw

god-tier cope. just admit that you still haven't forgiven Pearl Harbour or whatever else prevents you from enjoying japanese music, etiopiaboo

Great arguments you got there, buddy.
But hey, keep listening to Ethiopia music, just remember: it's still derivative and not original, especially if it's fucking Jazz.
And again thanks for bumping.

>She Past Away
>Motorama
Couldn't find any more generic post-punk, op? What about White Lies, that would go there nicely.

I dont mind bumping a thread that I'm enjoying an active discussion in :)
And no, its really not derivative. Just because it's called jazz doesn't mean it's a copy of american jazz styles and music, lol. Get some culture. I'd suggest reading the wikipedia page on what jazz is.
I don't enjoy Japanese music because its trash and I'm not japanese ;)

Nice pic, reddit, upvoted

somehow you're not the most insufferable person ITT, congrats

>And no, its really not derivative
It is.
Also, out of the list from OP, which ones have you listened to be sure they're all derivative of western styles?

Actually never used Reddit.
Also, I'm still waiting for the other user's physical collection of ethio shit, but I guess that ain't happening. He probably just said he listens to ehtio music to sound special, he probably just listens to Yea Forums core and FOTM stuff.

It's not, which you'd know if you'd ever listened to any. I'm not gonna listen to OP's terrible list because its comprised of undoubtedly lame artists from a genre I dont enjoy.
>muh physical collection of fucking cassette tapes
I'm here to laugh at you sperg. Streaming is the future.

Ah man, it's not fun shitposting with you. I provide you some OC of my rare tapes and all you can come up with is some zoomer-tier "streaming is the future!" line? Lame.
>it's not
Yes it is. I've listened to ethiopian music, it's funny but not original.

You listen to cassette tapes bro, the objectively worst format to listen on. Hipster as fuck, you clearly use music as a fashion accessory and dont actually enjoy it.
>describing music as funny
So are you ESL or what?

derevative is not a pejorative in this context, but a descriptor of a type of work that borrows major elements from another work, something applicable to all ethno jazz. truly a goldfish.
>I don't enjoy Japanese music because its trash and I'm not japanese ;)
great, now i don't have to to take you seriously at all, cheers

fucking hipsters i swear

Actually, none of those demo tapes I own were released in any other format, they're from the actual tapes casettes were still made, not hipster stuff made in the 2000s/2010s. Obviously none of it is on streaming services either.
>ESL
Yep, I've learned english as a second language. Ethiopia music was always funny to me, like the musicians were always drunk while playing. It's been a while though. Do you know a band called Dengue Fever?

>you don't like what I like so I'm gonna reply to you once and then say I "dont take you seriously" to invalidate any future replies you send
Lol okay bud, this doesn't mean you've won the argument though.
>check out my super kewl collection of hipster shit that was only released on tapes
>its not on the internet either, giving me even more hipster cred
Yikes dude

more like I was expecting you to show me your collection of super kewl ethio shit collection, but I guess you don't have any because you don't really like ethio jazz, you just threw out a random genre name to seem knowledgeable about non-anglo music. We all know you only listen to the most derivative modern music possible. I bet you listen to Yea Forumscore, as I said.

>when you enter a thread thinking you can fuck with the regulars but get your ass handed to you

>you cant enjoy a genre unless you have a physical collection
lol

I mean, I'm sure not all of ethio jazz is on streaming services. If you're serious about the genre you probably own at least a few records. It's not like they're expensive either.

>things that didnt happened
What's it like living in a fantasy world, schizoid?

you're free to dislike specific genres or artists, "japanese music" is neither. doing it under a false pretence is also pretty cringe :/
this is my fourth time replying to you, and yes, being a nationalist does invalidate you in my eyes.
>this doesn't mean you've won the argument though
not being able to refute my point and not having the balls to concede your defeat? tragic

>that was only released on tapes
Are zoomers really surprised that certain stuff was only released on tapes? Do they think it's "hipster"?
It was common for bands to release music in tapes back in the 80s and 90s, especially if they were DEMOS.

I love how he didn't address anyone in particular but you still felt addressed, lol. Cope, brainlet. You're getting your ass smashed into bits by people who actually enjoy music.

>You listen to cassette tapes bro, the objectively worst format to listen on.
8track
Reel to reel
Shellac
Vinyl
YouTube

Christ, you guys really argue about anything here huh?

I was hoping you just could give me similar recommendations like in the OP, not throwing a hissy fit...

all music that hasn't been re-released on a cosy western label for easy consumption is devoid of value /s

>Obviously none of it is on streaming services either.
I sure as fuck hope you archived which ever tapes aren't on the net and uploaded them.

>if you dont own every release in a genre on a physical format you dont take music seriously
Lol okay dude, nice tape collection, very fashionable. You obviously only care about getting hipster cred which is why you also felt the need to post it on /vr/.

You haven't made a single valid point thusfar. Keep seething.
No, I'm not surprised about some music only being on tape. I think its hipster to specifically hunt down tape-only releases just so you can post your rare collection online for hipster cred.
lmao I'm getting my ankles chewed at by a bunch of hipsters who dont enjoy music, just the status afforded by certain types. Stay mad.
>vinyl
>worse than tapes
I dont listen to vinyls but the people who do have a valid reason for it.

this is the most fun thread on this shithole in weeks, wym

At least the "ethio jazz fan" is bumping your thread. So let's thank him for that.
Have you checked anything from Nagomu Records? I also recommend anything Susumu hirasawa/P-Model if you haven't heard already.

>VINYLS
alright, thread's over, go home everyone

I did, a long time ago though, in 320kbs mp3, I should re-rip them on lossless soon for a definitive preservation.
You asked me to post my japanese shit dude, and you never delivered your ethio shit. That's not very fair, you know.

I do listen to vinyl and it's worse than tape simply because it has no fast forward and limited range, making some genres sound very lackluster compared to tape. There's a reason musicians still bounce to tape today.

>Have you checked anything from Nagomu Records?
Yea, I'm listening to Uchoten right now? Is this Nagumo Records? It sounds nice, I liek it

>I also recommend anything Susumu hirasawa
I just found that guy yesterday. It was a song about a malaysian transgender (which he probably fucked?)... a bit weird but interesting...

Based. I dont usually come across too many things that aren't on the net, but I always make sure to rip them if I do.

>cassette tapes
>superior to anything
lmao ok. I'm not wasting any more time on you hipsters. you can all reply to this post pretending this means you won the argument. im gonna go do something productive.

Yeah, Uchoten is the leading Nagomu band, the vocalist Kera is the president of the label (and has many other music projects besides Uchoten).
Kera has worked with Jun Togawa a number of times, and so did Hirasawa. Kera and Hirasawa have also worked together a couple times (mostly live stuff).
>It was a song about a malaysian transgender (which he probably fucked?)... a bit weird but interesting...
Hirasawa seems to have a fascination with thailand ladyboys, but I was never sure if the interest was sexual, actually.

>You haven't made a single valid point thusfar.

saying that all japanese music is bad because it's derivative of western music in the same breath as boasting your love for ethiopian jazz makes you a hypocrite or a moron. to help you understand this i further explained that derevative is not a pejorative in this context, but a descriptor of a type of work that borrows major elements from another work, something applicable to all ethno jazz.

was this slow enough for you?

Thanks for all your bumps, ethiojazz-kun.

>list reasons and arguments for the format
>get meme arrows instead of an argument
Yeah, fuck outta here.

Some based stuff mixed with some pleb stuff
I approve the focus on the superior race of mankind

any Afrirampo fans here? what do you think of their post-reunion stuff?

youre even more of a big retard cause some of them are on spotify
