Anyone else prefer being ignorant to the specifics and details of music? For instance, I know nothing of music theory, production, or even a lot of the times able to identify what instrument i'm even listening to. Makes it more interesting to listen and mysterious to listen to. I'm the same way with movies (not wanting to know all that goes on behind the scenes and shit cause it kind of ruins it for me) Anyone else like this?

How can you prefer if you can't compare?

Pic related? I assume this to be true of anyone who likes Swans.

I think learning all of that made me develop my taste further and be able to appreciate more complex/esoteric music
Still, whatever helps you, honestly. We each approach music differently, and in the end it's about the experience you have interacting with music

No, i've never even listened to that album before. Just used it cause I knew it would draw some attention.

I know music theory and I like Swans

Why do you like Swans?

It has some sort of primal power to it, it gets me in some sort of trance. Also, To Be Kind (the track) is fucking orgasmic
I like the newer albums better than their older stuff though, so you may be right about fans of their older work
Don't have much musical knowledge but i guess it can help you appreciate some of the more intricate details with a background.
Enjoy music/film how you want.
If the theory/production doesn't interest you, it doesn't matter.

>It has some sort of primal power to it
Swans always had this aspect throughout their career.
Mostly had to do with the way they mic'd drums or stuff like that.
Honestly, I lose any interest and respect for the music that I can quickly make myself using automated techniques and piss easy tools.
I have made proper hip-hop beats, proper vaporwave tracks and proper breakcore on autopilot with my brain turned off using only fucking Audacity, kek. I'm perfectly entitled to say genres like these are just casually enjoyable trash, nothing more.

but what about hip hop, vaporwave, and breakcore that transcends genre limitations or best defines the sound of the genre?
>>61180322
I'm a professional musician and Swans are my favorite band.

Honestly I will use the analogy of science. No one cares or is impressed if you understand a theory and prove it afterm you seen someone who already has. The people who actually have the imagination to make the theories are the ones who get the praise.
