What I understand by looking at most of these threads is that all the cool kids on /mu/ have to listen to a band that nobody has heard of or has punk influence. I mean, I'm all about finding some new artists, but I have such a hard time finding small names that I love to death.
David Bowie
Björk
Kate Bush

Shut up and go back to reddit

Your taste is fucking dogshit, dude.
>>61302502
>all the cool kids on /mu/
You're approaching it with the wrong mindset. I listen to what I listen to because I like it and draw influence from it because it inspires me. The artists I listed aren't even terribly obscure. Listen to more music, man.
>>61302502
You got lost here, head back to Reddit immediately

Mr. "pleb" here. I'm inclined to listen to you because you don't immediately put me down for what I like.

It's not about what you like, it's about the fact that you don't know some very essential bands and act like you have no reason to be criticized. How do you not at least know who Slint, Can, or The Microphones are?
Even though I just started playing.

Top tier taste btw. A good handful of my favorite bands in there and Ligeti is fucking based.
>>61302891
What is wrong with Skrillex?
Besides, I was mostly just talking about implementing that style of production and sound design and sometimes using similar sounding wonky mid-range bass. It's not about doing exactly what Skrillex does, it's just an influence.
>Mike Patton
DIY, vocal variation
>Deafheaven
Shoegazy stuff with tremolopicking

Slint (the spoken word parts)
Neutral Milk Hotel (surrealistic lyrics)
>>61303348
>>61303362
he's basically getting onto people in this meme-y dismissive way. It's completely pointless
My music would be kinda neo-classical + gothic rock and the lyrics would be like a romantic era poem, something like Nico and Flowers of Romance era PiL, with alot of harmonium and church organ. Burzum - Daudi Baldrs would be a huge influence too. But this is all hypothetical btw I cant even play the guitar (pic related is baroque not romantic, I know).
>>61303318
Made a mistake
>>61302876

I doesn't add anything to /mu/, and it's ruining good discussion.

I've posted it on here a few times, and funny enough I've never had anyone do that, despite telling me they thought it was good.
I mean I don't mind if people don't buy my music, but if they say they like it and don't tell anyone else about it then I fail to see any point in posting it anywhere.

>>61301787
Djam Karet, Focus, Pekka Pohjola, Heldon, Herbie Hancock, Volker Meitz (chiptunes).
As I currently know music, I think I'd make music that fuses several genres together. A mix of long, semi-improv prog rock jams and shorter, two or three minute tunes. Lead guitar would ideally have a HUGE range of textures, plucking, slapping, strumming, echoing, fuzzy, clean, imitating DJs scratching records or the arpeggios commonly found in chiptunes. anything to change it up. Bass guitar would be very busy, bouncing and hanging around the lower range. Drumming style would be a mix of jazz, new wave, and metal. All sections given a chance to shine.
Instrumental stuff that would put a tight, focused, hard prog rock tilt to approaching genres like country, jazz, electronic/chiptune, new wave, shoegaze, etc.

Genre influences:
Art music
Prog Rock
Prog house
French house

I would probably try to do a mix of prog house and prog rock, since those are two of my favorite genres. Probably would sound like shit due to how different they really are, but I'd try. I'd make as many concept albums as possible, cause I love listening to concept records.
