Hey there, fellow memer! These are the four genres I use for my music collection!

fuck you hampus

That poor little guy, what did he ever do to deserve such a fate? :^(
>alternative

i love the top 40 pop hits of henry flynt
>genre: autism
all of you
>>54049855
Art music is an umbrella term used to refer to musical traditions implying advanced structural and theoretical considerations and a written musical tradition.
>industrial
INDUSTRIAL WHAT?
>alternative
ALTERNATIVE WHAT?
>experimental
EXPERIMENTAL WHAT?
>>54049834
>>54049885
>Alternative & Punk
>>54049795
>traditional music
>doesn't even care about post-migration influences
>>54049855
What's wrong with that?
>>54049856
What is it if not popular music? :^)
>>54049896
Nicely memerino'd!
>>54049885
the answer to all 3 is music
>>54049902
>What is it if not popular music? :^)
avant-garde
>>54049896
>dadrock
>>54049910
What is avant-garde?
>>54049917
fuck off
>>54049902
>memerino'd!
Buying right into this neo-/mu/ aren't you
>>54049912
Dadrock is relative, it works though
>>54049923
No, please explain. What is avant-garde and what should I label as avant garde?
>>54049925
Neo-/mu/ is millions of times better than ancient /mu/.
>>54049928
avant-garde is a buzzword
>>54049940
So then Flynt is popular music after all?!
>>54049953
i don't know who it is so maybe
>>54049962
Fair enough!!
>>54049932
Both kill time, that'll do me.
>>54049962
Dude who ran hustler.
>>54049953
>liking Flynt
mamma mia
All genres are useless if you don't get specific but people who don't appreciate music think you are just autistic if you care about subgenres because they don't listen to enough variety that it matters.
>>54049953
I don't think anyone's arguing with you, that's a very popular album. But then again, so is most classical music.
>>54049986
Literally the first time listening now LMAO
>>54049997
>if you don't get specific
So the separation between say, classical and rock is useless? :^)
On the other hand, genres are literally useless when you start being to specific that only you know what the label implies. Genres are only useful when both you and the receiver of your message knows what you mean. That's communication 101 baby.
>>54050006
>this definition
See this is what happens when both parts don't share the same semantics.
;^)
>>54050014
>So the separation between say, classical and rock is useless?
Exactly, now you get it.
>>54050072
So if I asked someone what kind of music they listen to, classical or rock, and they answered rock, that would be useless?
>>54050072
>>54050083
Deadmau5 is my favourite Hindustani classical musician.
>>54050097
Bach is my favourite rock band!
>>54049768
>Keeping broad genres because trying to isolate a band's unique style any more than a blanket genre is trying to poke at a band's originality and stereotype their sound.
>feelsgood :^)
>>54049795
top lel that's so retarded
genres as harsh noise and power electronics where would fall? under popular music? lmao
>>54050205
Popular music! Not like noise or PE are worth listening or have in your library either way ;^)
>>54050205
They don't download that because they're grown up.
>>54050187
Rocktards are the worse
>muh twinkly, emotional, post-hardcore, punk rock
>muh blackened, melodic, death metal, rock
>muh third-wave post, progressive art rock
Its all just rock.
>>54050205
Yeah, pretty much.
There's nothing really wrong with that...that's how musicologists define it.
>>54050217
It's tough to know what genre of music you play when it's all so specific lately.
I like when I could just say "I play rock, you might notice some electronic influences too!" anything else is not a musical focus, it's all about the band's style.
>>54050227
but that kills the point of classification
i use genres to quickly find what i want
what is the sense of putting male rape group, fly pan am, lana del rey and earth in the same category (apart from wanting to be an autistic memer like op)?
>>54049768
ur so special whats ur number boy
>>54050256
You call OP an autistic memer for complaining about calling 2000 years of music under the same label but want to seperate 40 years of pop so pointlessly?
>>54050268
lel my bad, i confused op with that hampus namefag
no, there should be both divisions for "classical" and for popular music, otherwise it's plain retarded
>>54050256
>musicologists are autistic memers
m8...
>>54050288
>taking the words of so-called "musicologists" so seriously
>>54049768
What are the subgenres or labels that should be used for different styles of ''classical'' then?
>>54050314
>so-called "musicologists"
do you think Hampus invented the system out of thin air or something
>>54050329
Three different ways as I see it:
-by style: Renaissance, Romantic, Serialism, etc.
-by ensemble: String Quartet, Orchestra, Solo Piano
-by composition: Sonatas, Symphonies, Operas
>>54050333
obviously not, he looks way too retarded for inventing something
but musicologists make me laugh
>>54050345
>but musicologists make me laugh
why
because they know more about music than you?
>>54049795
i support this
>>54050367
no, because that art/folk/pop division is pointless, as i said earlier
you can't put totally different things in the same cauldron
nice ad hominem btw, but what can i expect from fags who worship people like scaruffi
you would believe anything written in a book by an "expert" just to look cool
>>54049795
I think this is the best system for a person with a respectable amount of music in each genre
but it wouldn't work with most people
for instance, I only have 5 Jazz albums versus the mountain of classical music I have. I don't feel like disproportionately classifying my music like that would be optimal.
>>54050402
>no, because that art/folk/pop division is pointless
It's not pointless. Art music is a deep tradition revolving around the notation and subsequent performance from notation of the music.
Popular music is based around more communal appreciation of music.
>nice ad hominem btw, but what can i expect from fags who worship people like scaruffi
>worship people like scaruffi
m8 I hate scaruffi
I really hope you don't think he's a musicologist...
>>54050329
Their actual genres like people do with rock. Minimalism and baroque are not the same as Hindustaani and musique concrete.
>>54050425
>Art music is a deep tradition revolving around the notation and subsequent performance from notation of the music.
>Popular music is based around more communal appreciation of music.
ok, and what's the point of dividing music using this criteria, apart from looking le music expert?
music is purely sounds, or noises if you wish, all that academic bullshit is just wankery
i'd rather classify my music using the similarity of sounds
>I really hope you don't think he's a musicologist...
>reading comprehension
>>54050468
>ok, and what's the point of dividing music using this criteria, apart from looking le music expert?
it's the terminology that is common practice for musicologists, and the most appropriate for a person who genuinely consumes all varieties of music.
>music is purely sounds, or noises if you wish, all that academic bullshit is just wankery
>all that academic bullshit is just wankery
I've always found it interesting how people reject academics in music, but academics in film and literature and sometimes visual art are appreciated.
>reading comprehension
I did use that.
You said "you would believe anything written in a book by an "expert" just to look cool" after saying I idolize Scaruffi, implying that you think he is some form of expert.
>>54050492
>and the most appropriate for a person who genuinely consumes all varieties of music
debatable. the more stuff you listen to, the more difficult it gets finding what you want in your ebin musicophile 4 divisions
>I've always found it interesting how people reject academics in music, but academics in film and literature and sometimes visual art are appreciated.
>implying i don't reject academics in everything
>implying that you think he is some form of expert.
no, i implied that the average /mu/ avant-teen considers him a expert
>>54050522
>debatable. the more stuff you listen to, the more difficult it gets finding what you want in your ebin musicophile 4 divisions
You can classify all of music under those 4 categories.
Hampus even makes the process easier by separating Jazz, which is normally categorized as popular music despite being on the edge of Popular and Art, into its own category.
>no, i implied that the average /mu/ avant-teen considers him a expert
OK, well I'm not the average /mu/ avant-teen.
>>54050531
sure you can do it, but it makes the act of looking through your library tedious
>today i really want to listen to some psychedelic rock
>oh but it's just popular music, let's scroll through pages and pages of noise rock, industrial, idm and a shitload of other popular genres with nothing in common all mashed together until i find what i want!
>>54050559
>sure you can do it, but it makes the act of looking through your library tedious
This is true, but when you have that much music under each category, you'll otherwise have to deal with tedious amounts of GENREs
It's personal preference really.
>>54050578
The question at that point is what's the point of using the genre tags at all?
>>54050666
it helps some people when they are in a mood for a particular type of music
some people it doesn't matter
at the crux of it who gives le fuck about how others organize their libraries
>>54049768
Music genres never fail in destroying my sides
>queercore
>noisepop
>>54049795
>four
Confirmed pleb. Patricians acknowledge only three.
I avant garde a clue whats going on
>>54050341
>by style
>Renaissance, Romantic
Memed?
>>54050341
>-by composition: Sonatas, Symphonies, Operas
This is the correct answer.
>>54049795
>artist
>Acid Mothers Temple
>>54053184
I group all the AMT variations under a single album artist label. The actual artist tag still shows the current line up :^)
>>54052940
>"Serialism"
>style
Memed?
>>54053568
>>54053568
Memed!
>>54050205
some people solve that problem by not listening to those genres
>>54052940
My Uni taught me that Renaissance and Baroque and Classic are styles.
>>54049885
>industrial
is a perfectly acceptable genre tag on its own, but only if you are referring to "true" industrial in the vein of throbbing gristle, SPK, test dept., the list goes on...
>>54049834
i don't like the way "punk rock" looks or sounds so i just have all my punk tagged as "punk"
what's your beef with this incredibly inconsequential difference in tagging
>>54050217
nobody in the history of the world has ever described something as "death metal rock"
>>54055056
There are other genres under punk not stemming from rock. You never hear about them, but they're there.
>>54055073
But it is rock, just because people say
emo
blackened death
3rd wave
Its all still just rock.
