I want to try that now.
>>60574561
add "and smells like mayonaise and sour cream and onion chips" and this would be super accurate
Yo La Tengo: going to the first day of high school and eating your baloney sandwich and making one semi-friend through smalltalk and then going home and being sort of disappointed but eager to go back the next day
>>60573827
Death Grips is more like that one weird kid in class who would rock himself back and forth on his chair and chew used bubblegum from the bottom of his desk.
>>60574362
Jesus Christ why is this accurate
>>60574720
tfw listened to eurobeat and chewed gum i hid under my desk.
>/fa/ doesn't save their gum for later?
Foxing is like being abandoned by/abandoning somewhere that used to make you happy, but somehow youre still sad that youre leaving
>>60574820
I'm not even on /fa/.
Im not even on this plane of existence.
terribl
>>60574679
nah, yo la tengo is having a group of friends that are losers like you, and becoming close over the endearing fact that you're losers together and don't care about being cool
that's what the band is, no?
Oneohtrix Point Never is like staying up really late as a little kid, stumbling across one of those grainy and distorted tv channels playing an old, unknown foreign film before passing out at like 2 am. And when you wake up your recollection of the film is fragmented, but you want to see it again as you grow older.
>>60574478
noice.
>>60573785
Frank Ocean: getting penetrated by a man with a micropenis, under a palm tree
>>60574892

FUCK
Listen to deadmau5 is like hanging out at GameStop

Listening to drake is like Friday night tinder
>>60574892

Radiohead is like being in some orange forest and maybe there's a lake next to it, you like being there, outdoors nature and shit but then a giant steamroller comes and crashes everything, yet you can't run away or maybe you don't want to.
Kendrick Lamar is like walking into your wife getting voluntarily donkey-fucked by a Somali pirate and then getting knocked the fuck out soon after so he could present his dominance.
DEVO (at least the first album)
is like drinking shitty beer with your friends in college and making fun of the rolling stones and retarded people
>>60574126
Wow I can completely imagine this as I listen.
Godspeed You! Black Emperor is like holding hands with your loved one as you watch the polluted sun set over an expanse of blown-out buildings.

Silver Mt Zion is like hitting rock bottom in a post-apocalyptic world and then banding together with your friends to overthrow the corruption, fully aware that you'll fail but you're doing it anyway.
Listening to Cult of Luna is like walking past one of those people on the street with an "End is Near" sign moments before a meteor strikes the earth
>>60575199
I always pictured Cult of Luna as taking a night walk when the loneliness and self-hatred gets to the point of physically painful, and you're wondering if anything is worth it.
Slint is being interrogated by the 'good cop' for most of the interview, only to have the 'bad cop' burst in periodically to yell at you and slap you around a bit
>>60573827
death grips is like being frustrated with your disability mental or otherwise
>>60573785
yeah i think ya really hit the nail on the head there
Mazzy star is like being underwater in the bath and considering suicide
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LwVXkM_YxMg
>>60574986
Listening to (older) Alcest is like waking up from a terrifying nightmare, finding yourself awake in your bed, shaken but with the feeling that everything is actually going to be okay
The Angelic Process is committing suicide and falling into some sort of limbo, hearing the sounds of pure energy destroy your senses.
listening to Tame Impala is like recording your friends insane LSD trip and uploading it to instagram
Tim Hecker is like sitting in a fine art gallery, quietly admiring the beauty of one of your favourite works in serine silence. When a man walks in without noticing you [or you walking into the room hes in and he doesn't notice you] and while he looks at the art thinking no one is around lets out a long squeaky fart. Catching sight of you in the corner of his eye before it finishes and him becoming super embarrassed.
>waking up to crows chirping
>making tea, trying to forget her
>walking down an arboreal path with your new german shepherd
>making new memories, for the first time in a long time
>>60575220
I can see that too, but Cult of Luna always invoked a feeling of world ending and apocalypse in me. Like the if the ground started falling out under your or the sky starts to fall
>>60573785
Listening to Liturgy is like reaching transcendental euphoria while simultaneously playing Bloodborne
Listening to The Antlers is like spending a rainy day home alone, and even though there's a lot on your mind that you're sad about, there's something cozy about it.
>>60574196
>I like to dip my tostadas
Listening to Liturgy is like being immortal and having terminal cancer at the same time.
>>60575382
Someone once aptly said that
"Liturgy is like having an orgasm but it doesn't stop for an entire hour and then you collapse from exhaustion"
>>60575372
Good album.. But I think you might have gotten the wrong idea of what the thread is m8.
>>60575382
Listening to Liturgy is like being in the same room as a bomb as a time bomb, but when the timer hits zero gravity shuts off and everything hangs suspended in the room
>>60575378
I agree, especially their last tracks on an album always have that impending doom feeling.
>>60574524
Because it's edgy teenage hipster bullshit. Like listening to Smells Like Teen Spirit, but a bit more obscure and updated for the pop landscape of the 2010s, so teenagers can vent about how the world is evil and there are so many terrible adults who just don't care, man.
Don't get me wrong, I like DG, but people have a tendency to glorify them in ways that they probably don't deserve—which is exactly what an angry teenager would do.
>>60574366
sounds like this comes from personal experience
Listening to Thee Oh Sees is like doing really violent yardwork
e.g. laughing maniacally while you trim your lawn with a weedwhacker and grass bits are flying all over but you don't care because you feel like an omnipotent god of grass destruction
>>60574126
>>60574954
>>60575146
>>60575182
Well, that is pretty much, ya kno, the theme of the whole album...
Listening to Wolves in the Throne Room is like being on a solo backpacking trip hunting for sasquatch
>>60575455
Yeah cuz niggas on the moon is just angry, straightforward, workout music for teenage pseudo-intellectual monkeys.
Fuck off.
>>60575105
Radiohead is more like being in a forest during late fall and in the distance is a lake and someone you love is slowly walking in the water, getting deeper and deeper. You know they're going to die if you don't do anything but your gaze moves up to the leaves and branches swaying in the wind and you can't look away.
Listening to Bowery Electric is like drifting in and out of drugged-out sleep while on a long flight or bus ride in the middle of the night.
>>60574860
Then all those friends go off to different colleges and start making new friends while you stay in your home town and go to community college and you try to talk to people in your class but those relationships never really go past the classroom and each night you go on faceboom/instagram to see your old friends having an awesome time with new people knowing that they haven't thought about you since high school...
Kavinsky is like driving in a big city at 2am when everybody's home and the streets are empty for a while but then some black car starts following you.
Listening to Floral Shoppe is like being a disappointment to your parents because you dropped out of high school so you could shitpost on music forums all day
>>60575611
juj
Listening to Future is like not being able to sleep in a week and all you can think about is money
Listening to Dax Riggs/Agents of Oblivion is like playing guitar in the middle of a swamp, high as fuck, next to a campfire. And the love of your life is dead.
>>60575611
Floral Shoppe is kind of like living in a junkyard but you're in a dystopian future and you find a bunch of VHS tapes that keep skipping and playing back weird for no reason and you're the only person in the world and everything is lonely but you're high ALL THE TIME and you're in japan
>>60575635
This is pretty accurate but I'd also add waking up hungover and alone in a strange apartment, and fucking a fat slut while too high on lean to care
Matthiew Robert Cooper is like taking your significant other to the wooden cabin, that you and your family used to go to, for the first time, during a spring get away. Waking up one morning with golden sunbeams precising the bedroom windows, birds chirping outside. As you rub the sleep out of your eyes from a night of vivid dreaming of you and your loved ones, you realize your significant other isn't in the bed, for a moment you panic, worried that it [coming down here with them] was all part of your dream. Then you hear the creak of floor boards and the shuffling of feet as they glide into the bedroom portal, a warm loving smile on their face, flowers or a warm drink/food in their hands.
Animals as Leaders is like trying to do really hard math, having absolutely no idea what you're doing but you somehow get the correct answer in the end.
>>60575695
Epic reference bro!!! here's an upboat for meme !!!!i totally got it!funy!!
>>60575695

>>60573785
QT is like being hit on by a hot but incredibly creepy girl who you think wants to murder you in your sleep
>>60575899
>...and being willing to take the risk
The Microphones is like being in the woods at night in autumn and it's a bit cold so you make a fire and you sit beside it and think about your life for a bit and eventually fall asleep.
Lana del rey is like sitting in an Italian restaurant and ordering delicious pasta but then you realize that the meatballs are filled with silicone.
>>60575140
devo is like watching the kent state shooting
>>60575850
He has an OK sense of humor but plays it up wayyyy too much to the point of complete unfunniness; the only funny ones were the first few like vaporwave and seapunk before it got repetitive. And he's alright at making music but his "how to" tracks are garbage. Just an average memelord
death grips is like being trapped by mental illness.
I might catch a few sideways glances for this one, but its bc of that hint of perversion in his pretty and soft music music that I thought of this...
Listening to Perfume Genius is like your older sister sneaking into your room on Christmas night, while everyone is asleep. Waking you up and crawling into bed with you, as the pale moonlight dances with the snowflakes falling outside, it dimly illuminates her pretty face. She kisses you and tells you how much she loves you, then she passionately & lovingly takes your virginity.
and the two of you fall asleep in each others arms afterwards, glancing once more to the dancing snow before trailing off to sleep.
>>60576139
This sounds more like Xiu Xiu
Ew anyway gross though I don't want these thoughts
>>60576139
>>60576008
kek
>>60576139
yeah you definitely didn't just think of that. just admit that it's something you've fantasized about for a while man
Bright Eyes is like being profoundly infatuated with someone to the point that you can't think of anyone else so you do everything you can to see them in a negative light until you end up hating and resenting them. All of this without saying a single word to them or possibly actually meeting in person.
>>60574983
listening to Deadmau5 is kinda like opening your Command prompt and changing the colors from white to green, taking a screenshot of your tree, putting it on your google glasses, then taking your crotch rocket out on a ride into modern japan where you're greeted into a nightclub run by a japanese druglord who's drooling out pink saliva and dancing the night away to the lights and waking up the next morning wondering if that really happened.
>>60576139
>tfw no qt sister
>tfw entire family is 5/10 or lower
>tfw i'm just as ugly by extension
>>60575131
This is fucking retarded
explain urself gay boy
>>60576288
This sounds more like Porter Robinson (for people who like Porter Robinson)
Deadmau5 is literally just buying CoD at gamestop and playing it for the rest of the day on Red Bull
Mount Eerie is like being spaced pout high on oxycontin and passively observing the world around you through an altered headspace as you walk around in it.
>>60574892
Thats exactly how I feel about Dinosaur Jr's you're living all over me
>>60573785
Listening to James Ferraro reminds me of my mental problems because I have a hole in my head.
>waking up in a forest in the dead of winter
>no animals or signs of life, just snow and dead trees
>see strange lights in the sky
>begin losing energy, get lost in the forest
>as you lay dying, you can see the angels coming down from heaven to carry you away to heaven
>but they have no faces
>>60576338
you know what
you have a good point
I like you.
>>60575414
fairly accurate
>>60573785
VEKTROID IS LIKE WALKING INTO A PORTAL YOU FIND THROUGH AN OLD JAPANESE VHS TAPE AND BEING ABSORBED INTO A MAGICALLY MORPHED VERSION OF 90'S CAPITALIST CULTURE.
>you and your best friend on teamspeak making stupid jokes and sharing feels at 3 am until someone passes out
of Montreal is like having a crazy drug party with your friends but things get too weird and sexy and people feel awkward about it the next day, but you all know the same thing is going to happen next weekend.
>>60576139
I can kinda see it. I prolly would have gone
>you were molested by your uncle as a little boy and you're not too hung up on it because you've turned into a [homo]sexual self-deprecating deviant who believes he's done some awful things himself.
Coachwhips is like if spring cleaning was in the middle of summer, and you just wandered around on a hot day with your high school friends finding garbage to mess with, chairs to race around on, and electronics to smash. You then take a rotting couch and throw it in the ravine to sit on while out hang out down there.
>>60576408
NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>60575423
he was wrong, btw
>>60575382
>>60575433
no, that sounds way too exciting.
Listening to Liturgy is like trying to comprehend how that one kid who always gets A+ at his tests can also be a sonic-obsessed mouthbreather who still eats his own boogers even when people are watching.
>>60576338
tbhfam
>>60576437
what
Sufjan Stevens is waiting in bed on Christmas morning as a kid for your big sister to come in and tell you to look at the presents. And, although it was way too early and you didn't understand what was going on for the first few minutes, it was oddly alluring.
Gorillaz is falling asleep and waking up watching an old cartoon from the 80s that no one remembers but feeling strangely connected to it.
Neutral Milk Hotel is when, as a kid, Thanksgiving is dying down and everyone is leaving, so you decide to sit down next to your great-grandfather, and he tells you these whimsical but melancholy stories that feel so out there but also so real.
Weezer is when you're really confident about your presentation in class but then when you sit down you know that it was absolute horseshit
Listening to Elliott smith is like skiping a class you know you're failing to stay in bed and worry about how bad you're doing in that class but at least the bed is warm
Having kinky sex with the Annunaki
>>60576502
And then your gf walks in with a knife and stabs you in the heart twice.
>>60574196
ween is like killing yourself because listening to their shitty music makes you want to kill yourself
It's like watching On The Silver Globe
Listening to David Bowie is like trying to get into a subculture in highschool, but as soon as you get the right clothes and figure out what they're all about, everybody has moved on and they're no longer cool anymore. The only people sticking around are the losers who are late to the party and certain people too daft to realize the only thing interesting about them isn't anymore.
Listening to Nicolas Jaar is like overpaying for a caipirinha at that overpriced new barclublounge across the street.
As in it's retarded.
Listening to The Constantines is like walking by the road in your snowy midwestern hometown wearing a denim jacket and regretting your life decisions. Basically it's like being in the movie Buffalo '66
>>60574928
>werther's
lol
>>60576027
Goddammit
>>60573785
This might be the most boring thought I've ever read
>>60576590
he's so overrated! like he has a great sense of craft, but jesus it's all so predictable
Listening to Sun Araw is like taking off in a neon-lit hover car out of some ancient ruins, in a jungle, and there's a monk chanting nonsense in he side seat.
>>60576705
Sun Ra?
>>60576531
*myself
speak for yourself lad
mac demarco is like buying another pack of cigarettes even though you know it's going to kill you, but you don't care because you're taking a drag already and, even though you'll have to face the world, you enjoy the moment of peace.
kanye west is like caring about issues but being too lazy to face them.
I haven't heard a single band that was named here
Listening to Deafheaven is like driving through the rich part of town, seeing how happy and beautiful everything is and realizing you will never get to experience it except as an outsider looking in
>>60574559
cute B&S thought
>>60576139
listening to [artist] is like [whatever the cover of any of their album evokes or suggest]
Done, fuckers. You sure are a bunch of suggestionable twerps with no originality.
>>60576744
no
That's like having a homeless man rant at you in the park and it all suddenly making sense.
>>60576851
deafheaven sucks, but i know that feel
Listening to Sigur Ros is like falling from space back to Earth, but you don't feel anything
>>60573785
Any Burzum album is like witnessing a gore and blood filled Viking battle, and then later calmly and contemplatively observing the ruins of the seemingly apocalyptic event, feeling desolate and despondent.
>>60576918
Listening to Interpol is being drunk the entire day and night, then taking a walk in the city around 4am
When you start to fantasize about you and your bro having buttsex in a romantic fashion after 16 hours in a call on teamspeak but you know it will never happen because he has a girlfriend, and even though you know that the relationship is failing he wouldn't ever go for it and would it would probably ruin the friendship you have.
>See Matt & Kim in Denver while they're touring to promote their second album
>See Matt walking across the street
>Awkwardly flag him down, compliment his show, and offer to buy him a shot
>He's a really genuine, nice dude and after a short bout of idle chit chat he sweetly turns my offer down but says he's going to the same bar my friends and I are going to go to
>Matt & Kim and their crew are at the bar
>I puss out and don't say anything else to them
The flag down was super cringy, but Matt and (second hand from my friend) Kim are really cool.
:(
>>60574522
REM is more like walking through a bit of scenery whether it be a rural town, a dock, a forest, or an old college campus and it not having that much of an effect on your character all that much but reflecting it reveals things about your character.
>>60577037
I'm drunk and misread the OP. Whatever. I stand by what I said.
>>60577085
That's cool. I don't care for their music, but yeah they must be fun people.
>>60577037
In my humble, honest opinion Matt & Kim is a band that is so awful that if you like them there's no redemption, you just automatically have shit taste for life. Kys pleb
>>60576791
I'd add that, as you're walking down to the corner store for that new pack you know that somewhere in your apartment, littered with a few scattered empty beer cans from the night before, there's a half smoked pack hidden within the folds & pockets of some tshirt but you're not sure which one & you're not too apprehensive to go spend your dirty $10 on more because you know they'll turn up later.
The Weeknd is like your gf breaking up with you but not caring because you're coked up
>>60577126
Bitch the fuck do I care.
>>60576941
No that'd be Summoning or something.
Burzum is like being an orc who somehow survived the fall of Mordor and lives in a cave in the butt-end of the woods eating rodents and bugs.
>>60577172
& already talking to a couple other women.
Kayo Dot is like discovering ancient manuscripts from thousands of years ago in a german castle that tells stories of esoteric magick and wizardry.
>>60574126
>tfw you live in Eugene and listened to this for the first time
>>60577239
no, it's like playing a video game that does that, and pretending you're doing the real thing
>>60577126
>implying Daylight isn't an awesome song
>>60577290
>listening to Daylight outside of 2007
Meek mill is like the person in the front passenger seat of your car yelling over you at the fast food drive thru
Nine Inch Nails is like being lonely and sexually frustrated, but you have no porn nor any imagination left to fap, so instead you bang your head repeatedly against the wall until you start bleeding, then cry deeply, then just lay down and contemplate the world around you while introspectively thinking and daydreaming.
listening to dan deacon is like taking mdma then listening to steve reich and an edm mix at the same time
listening to Peste Noire is like being homeless, French and having leprosy while also being piss-drunk and scavenging for food in a dumpster and finding an unopened bottle of fine wine amidst the half-eaten hamburgers and dirty socks, but then another hobo, who has gangrene and is obviously not French, punches you in the nose, which flies off since it was already half-rotten, because he wants that bottle and so you end up fighting in the middle of the street over a bottle of wine and you win by vomiting in his face until he chokes on your own puke, so now you can finally take that bottle, take a hike in the woods and hopefully finish drinking it before you die of hypothermia.
>>60577385
more or less yeah
>>60577367
>enjoying music due to it's cultural context
modest mouse is like being on an early morning bus in the middle of winter taking you around mountains and countryside while you watch the outside. You're cold but you're okay because there's a weird beauty in the gloominess
or it's like having a nightmare about the Cookie Monster except he's a pirate taking you hostage
>>60575423
Clearly this before the Ark Work.
listening to Mohammad is smoking a cigar on an arctic beach while staring at a massive glacier moving slowly across the horizon
listening to Dawn of Midi is like experiencing a series of moments of satisfaction you get from solving a difficult math problem or logic puzzle
listening to Moon Hooch is like throwing an insane party in an underground cavern
>>60575572
>niggas on the moon is just angry, straightforward, workout music for teenage pseudo-intellectual monkeys.
You just described their entire fanbase, which basically proves my point. I've never been in the mental state that Ride is in, and neither have most of their fans. Sure, Ride and co. certainly have their serious intentions, but ultimately people don't listen to them for the same reason people listen to, say, Gil Scott-Heron, for example.
Listening to Swans is like going hiking but you get lost in a giant forest so you just have to hope you can find your way out of it and youre not really sure whether youre dreaming or not but regardless you're kind of scared and maybe even sad but then you hear a crackling fire and it's a group of ancient indian spirits dancing around the fire and you don't know what your doing or why so you just take your shirt off and hop in with them and start chanting and drumming and it gradually becomes enlightening and then all of a sudden you open your eyes and realize your still lost, and your sitting by yourself at the top of a hill slapping your chest like a retard and dancing but it doesnt matter
>>60577540
It's more like hitching a ride from a buddie in the middle of winter cause you don't have a car at the moment and feeling nothing but contempt and disdain for your surroundings the whole ride and you're just tired of all these malls and shitty businesses in the sprawl. You wish you were more engaging and appreciative during the ride, but you're just too wrapped up in your own gloom.
>>60577540
Pretty good. For me it's like breaking up with your gf then drinking a bunch of cough syrup and walking around the dim city streets on a foggy morning. But it varies from album to album.
>>60577724
Makes me imagine here comes the Indian.
>>60575455
>edgy
>teenager
>hipster
>obscure
>pop
Holy shit, can you use anymore buzzwords to describe something you don't really like? Embarrassing post.
>>60577724
Listening to swans is like standing alone & shirtless on a cliff in the middle of a cloudless night next to a raging bonfire 2 meters high as the churning waves of the ocean crash on the shore several meters below.
>>60577769
People who use the word edgy a lot for everything they don't like are usually edgy and insufferable themselves
>>60577775
this.
SAW2 and the early hard acid techno of Aphex Twin (when he was "The Aphex Twin") always sounded like the exact sound of sleep deprivation. I think for the latter it's the repetitious song structure and spacey production. SAW2, every song seems to go on a bit too long, but it stays interesting through how alien and off-kilter the melodies seem, and how they constantly evolve through little microscopic variations in the theme. It has that sort of strange, monotonous, "out-of-it", but strangely connected with some sense of the cosmic or spiritual "other" that you get when you've gone several days without sleep and no stimulants to keep you aware, like you're on some other plane than other people and you're watching a video of what it's like to be on Earth.
DNTEL reminds me of being on a lot of benzos and slowly sinking into that slow, content, xanax apathy.
Biosphere is like walking through Antarctica late at night and looking up and seeing all the constellations, planets, and far off galaxies in perfect clarity.
>>60577398
listening to dan deacon is like being on a family road trip that you kinda enjoy but would be rather at home
>>60573785
Beck is like getting your first job but the hours are shitty and instead of spending outside with your friends, you stay inside all summer and flip burgers.
Listening to Immortal is like fighting a snowstorm while brandishing a bass guitar as your sword and using a cymbal as your shield.
Listening to Coil is like watching reality slow down and become heavy, all the laughter from everyone around you slowly turns into screams then into digital artifacts. Everything around you disintegrates, time is now infinite and 3 dimensional as you enter paradise

I love this feel. Always doritos and pop and cigarettes.
Don't worry anons. You will live longer than I do. Would rather kill myself quickly than die slowly, but frankly the pain and discomfort of suicide attempts is horrible.
Danzig is like making prolonged eye contact with a dog that's hunched up taking a shit

Can you be more frustrated and angry over people liking something that you don't resonate with? Grow up.

I could only see this for the Seer bro... Someone do filth, I want to see someone's experience for filth.
Jesu is like going back to your grandma's house after her death
The Microphones is like hitting absolute rock bottom, not knowing what to do with yourself and then just walking as far as you can go to a place you've never been and then reaching a certain point where amidst the beauty and mystery you have this weird sense of peace wash over you despite miserable circumstances.
>>60578092
Filth is like being super-skinny and weak, and doing fifty pushups and fifty chin-ups bare-chested in your dad's workshop (cause it's soundproof) cause you want to become hard and strong but don't want anyone to know about it.
Listening to Sun Kil Moon is like being forced to spend the day with your weird melancholy uncle you never talked to because you thought he was weird and so he comes over and he picks you up in his car and he takes you to the zoo or some shit because he hasn't been a kid since forever so he's not really sure what to do but he takes you there and you chill and eat Panera Bread and he tells you about his life and his travels and all that's happened to him and he takes you to his house and it smells weird but it's nice and he plays the guitar and he talks some more about his life and you have this new found respect for your grumpy uncle who you never talked to and you sort of want to stay but you can't and your mom picks you up and you give him a high five and he laughs a weird but charming old person laugh then you see him start to burn some trash in the yard as you pull away.
>>60578176
Yup.

To me, filth is like having that internal monologue discussion of whether or not it's okay to eat meat, especially considering the state of food production in America, and coming to the conclusion that yes, it is. Because you are an goddamn nasty omnivorant animal, as a human-and its your evolutionary right. The more visceral, the better. Go pick up a gun and a knife and start hunting, boy.
I say this as someone who actually doesn't eat meat, too.
>>60578092
Filth is like recalling with hatred all of your horrifying disgusting failures as you stand on a stool fastening a rope to a wooden beam.
>>60578092
Filth is like knocking on some random person's door and murdering them just to see what killing feels like.
>>60578248
>then you see him start to burn some trash in the yard
Bahaha what?
>>60578397
okay this has to stop. That whole self-loathing meme is becoming seriously obnoxious, take it back to /r9k/ where it belongs. I can certainly see some self-destructiveness in Filth but it certainly isn't about suicide or contemplating failure.

Listen to Benji my nigga
Listening to Arcade Fire is like wearing a sweater that's just a little too small.
Belle and Sebastian is like looking out a window on a rainy October day in a warm house with a cup of tea, or hot cocoa.
Early of Montreal is like flipping through a book of Salvador Dali art.
Late of Montreal is like getting drunk and doing things you're going to regret but don't give a fuck about in the moment.
Mac DeMarco is like you're hanging out with your friends, and you've been hanging out all day, and the hangout is on the cusp of going on for too long, but everyone's feeling really chill and content.
Neutral Milk Hotel is when you're living on your own for the first time and you think about your family and you start to feel homesick.
Nana Grizol is the last day of high school when you're a senior.
american football is like laying in bed with the window open during summer and laughing at embarassing memories that used to make you cringe
>>60578475
what if my embarrassing memory that makes me cringe is listening to american football
>>60578438
so /r9k/ are the only people who contemplate suicide and failure? I mean I get that it doesn't fit as much with Filth, but this is a music board, lots of music deals with those subjects
Skinny puppy is like driving to the edge of eternia and feeling the power of the greyskull take hold.
>>60578430
Not that guy but I'm pretty sure more than one of mark kolezack's (spelling?) songs are about weird relatives dying in trash-burning related accidents. Some weird shit. P sure the guy is mentally unstable.
Giles Corey is like being an accused witch during the Salem Witch Trials and contemplating your life as the days until your hanging start to dwindle away.

Listening to DJ Rozwell is like your first time smoking weed and it's dirty weed laced with PCP and someone's playing old MS-DOS fantasy RPGs in the corner.

No that's literally what it's about anon.

Suis La Lune is like standing in the eye of a tornado that just ripped through a watercolor paint factory.
Listening to Andy Stott, is like going to a high fashion show and meeting lots of interesting rich and successful people, then going back home to your ghetto apartment and sleeping on a dirty mattress
>>60578553
Lovely

/r9k/ are the only ones that glamorize it to the point where they end up being nostalgic for the early 2000s mallgoth emo scene, and try to spread their shit taste and unhealthy views to other boards (typically /mu/, /fa/ and /a/)
>>60578487
Nah, /r9k/ posters tend to project their personal views and feelings onto every possible subject since they grew up with coddling parents who told them they were special snowflakes.
Fun fact: That's why you always see so many angry 20-somethings jump to "special snowflake" as an insult even when it doesn't make sense, since they'd been called out on that before and it stings them the most.
>>60578633
accurate
>>60578607
They definitely don't glamorize it, if anything they give depressed and mentally ill people an even worse image.
Beach House is like falling asleep standing because that's exactly what I did at their shitty concert.
I want my money back.
Throbbing Gristle is like being thirteen looking up threads on Ogrish or pictures on rotten.com, the when you're in your mid-twenties, looking up those same sites one day because they popped up in your head while driving home from work.
>>60577770
mfw Trent Reznor literally did this in 94.
>>60578647
I should rather have said that they glorify it. They actually glorify being a piece of shit, they're proud of being ashamed of themselves, and show it off on other boards, hoping that some other sad fucks "share their feels"; they just spread negativity around out of spite against people who don't feel like shit, and do this by associating everything even vaguely negative or grim with their own views and lifestyle.
>>60576008
Severely underrated post.
>>60578700
So being depressed makes you a piece of shit? You sound like a lovely person. I actually love and support the idea of finding value and meaning in your suffering, that there's something melancholy and beautiful even as everything goes to shit, which is what art and music is all about. The problem with r9k isn't that they're peices of shit because they're losers, it's that they spread hate and maliciousness around at other people perpetuating the idea that anyone who's suffering or socially awkward probably deserves it
>>60578633
>That's why you always see so many angry 20-somethings jump to "special snowflake" as an insult even when it doesn't make sense, since they'd been called out on that before and it stings them the most.
Yes. I don't identify as a 'mellenial' for this exact reason. A lot of people born in/after the mid-80's are really good at doing nothing and complaining about it on social media. Leave me out of it...

I only like the chorus of Cameras. That is the only good thing I have heard by them. Just the chorus too. Can't stand the lyrics for the verses. But yeah I really like that chorus.

So being depressed makes you a piece of shit?
No, but what we're talking about isn't just people being depressed, it's people reveling in their depression and glorifying being a piece of shit
>You sound like a lovely person.
Oh, what a stinger.
>I actually love and support the idea of finding value and meaning in your suffering, that there's something melancholy and beautiful even as everything goes to shit
Now, THIS is what makes you a piece of shit >which is what art and music is all about.
What kind of bullshit over-generalizing statement is that? How fucked-up and narrow-minded does one have to be to consider that all art must be about sadness and self-destructiveness?
>The problem with r9k isn't that they're peices of shit because they're losers, it's that they spread hate and maliciousness around at other people perpetuating the idea that anyone who's suffering or socially awkward probably deserves it
That's just one part of the problem.

I mean, fuck millenials I guess, but that's what everyone's been doing forever.

Robots absolutely and unarguably deserve to be hunted down and killed. Not out of any concern for the well-being of society, not because they've offended me, but simply as a matter of justice, on an individual basis, each and every one of them deserves to be killed. I'm not saying it should actually be done, there's a lot of stuff that would get in the way, I'm just saying, that's what they deserve and if it's happening, then it's all for the best.
listening to xiu xiu is like being locked up inside a rapists dungeon and the only thing that keeps you sane in between constant sexual abuse is a photo of a dad you keep for hope
...damn
>>60577671
You annoying cunt. Stop typing things.
>>60578889
You must be an extroverted feeler, judging by how insufferable you are over what other people do with their own lives. Different people cope differently with the negative, get over it. If you can't find beauty and meaning in melancholy, it's not an attack on your lifestyle for others to explore those parts of life and gain a sort of joy from it.
>>60578889
>yeah like you're doing right now?
Dude... Put your fucking fangs away. I was partially lamenting that a lot of hard working intelligent young individuals, many I know personally, get wrapped up in a shitty blanket identity of 'lazy millenials' in general. You're taking everything so personally, that's not good for you, man...

yeah well at least im not a faggot

>>60579026
wow dont slice me with that edge
>>60579007
yeah back away you autistic neckbeard
>>60578957
It may not be an attack on my lifestyle but it's an annoying background noise I'd gladly get rid of, because it's not the type of thing one just gets over.
You and your "muh feels" acolytes are nasty little vermin crawling around everywhere I go. At least try to find something greater and more badass to contemplate than your own sad little lives, like I dunno go in the woods and reflect on the cycle of life and death, stop whining about your lack of a job and gf.
