Thoughts on this Poptimistcore chart? Anything you'd add? Anything you'd remove?
>But anon what is Poptimistcore?
- people who listen to music they think is "normal and listenable". Their favorite artists are Grimes, Radiohead, Beatles, Arctic Mouse, and Gorillaz. They get most of their music from the upper level of r/music, but not the top so that they can retain hipsterdom. These indies usually post in /daily/, Radiohead general, Unpopular opinions and chart threads.
what did OP mean by this?
>>63396089
thanks for the recs
can I get album titles?
Can't make out any of the text.
This isn't what poptimism is about, you dumb shit.
Poptimism is white indie kids renouncing "intellectual" shit like Radiohead or Swans in favor of Top 40 pop like Justin Timberlake and Taylor Swift.
Do you think poptimism is something that started on /mu/? It's an actual real world thing that's been going on for years.

Look at all these triggered indieheads. At least you /daily/ shitters were smart enough to drop your trips before posting here.
>>63396089
If you think most of this music is considered "normal and listenable" by a majority of people outside of /mu/ you might need to get out of the basement for once...
>>63396192
nice meme my friendo ;)
Poptimists are ex-Christgau indieheads who moved onto the next thing to pop/indie music without gaining any knowledge or education on how to approach that thing or why it is significant in the first place.
This is blatant in Unpopular opinions, where every attempt they make at reviewing the things they're listening to reads like a third-rate Christgau impression typed out by an underage highschooler.
>tfw finally deleted all the poptimistcore albums off my computer
Who /clean/ here?
>>63396089
>>63396192
You're doing God's work here anon, thank you for fighting the daily indieheads that don't know shit about music but think they do by creating antiposeur threads with the same words
>>63396089
>tfw aphex twin didn't make the list
based RJD
>>63396918
aphex twin is elevatorcore
>>63396968
we still eatin family
anything but pop core is based
The anti-poptimist movement is what /mu/ needs. I think music should be seen on one field. We need less poptism not more.
Why? It creates discussion.
There is no such thing as entry-level and such, only good and bad albums that are subjective. People need to stop acting like /r/music and well known and well liked experimental albums are somehow bad because a lot of people on /mu/ like and respect them. That shows insecurity with your own taste.
That being said, go exploring, go like whatever music you want to like, but don't rub it in the face of others that you have different taste. Talk about it with them, say "hey I found this cool album if you like _______ you should check it out".
if we get rid of /Waifu/ and /kpop/
The poptimists will leave and /mu/ will be /mu/ again
>>63396089
Most of the stuff on there is rockist as fuck. I don't think you understand what poptimism is.
You have been visited by the Heathcliff of Dadaist Perfection! Objectively terrible taste and a very very limited understanding of music will come to you, but only if you respond with "he's bad news" to this post.

Butthurt poptimist scum
>>63396089
These albums aren't normal, if you played most of them for your normie friends they'd think it's weird.
>>63396089
>Poptimism
>No Grimes or Carly Rae Jepsen
>But Bowie is there
You dun goof'd.
>>63397506
i take it you don't know any "normal" people outside of what /pol/ and /r9k/ tell you
>oasis
>beatles
>beach boys
>wilco
>radiohead
>NMH
>deltron 3000
>fleet foxes
>pixies
>fishmans
>pink floyd
>not accessible
Did op post the wrong chart? With the exception of maybe Coldplay, none of those albums are pop or optimism.
Or maybe this thread is just poorly disguised bait
>>63397740
They're Montie's favorites.
>>63397740
>Oasis
>Beatles
>Ziggy Stardust
>The Bends
>not pop
Are you fucking retarded?
>>63397720
I have Five Finger Death Punch listening friends.
>>63397720
It's Deltron 3030, shitdick.
Your opinions are hereby void.
>>63397798
Do you hang out with rednecks?
>>63397860
No, just people who listen to radio-friendly hard rock music. The most /mu/ stuff they can handle are Nirvana and Queens of the Stone Age. Let me tell you as well that Meddle isn't accessible, only Dark Side of the Moon and the Wall are.
>>63397787
>what is rock
>what is protopop
Regardless of the fact that poptimism is a penomena of the 2010's, those bands barely count in the realm of pop. The closest to pop there is in that chart is the beach boys
>>63397930
>The Beatles aren't pop
I don't even know what to say.
>>63397930
The Beatles aren't Psychedelic Rock faggot. They have atleast 5 true Psychedelic Rock songs, the rest is just pop trash
>>63396089
This is beyond retarded
>>63396153
you should know at least 75% of these albums before you start posting, friendo.
>>63398286
>the biggest selling band of all time
>not pop
what is pop to you then?
>>63396089
Montie has better taste than most retards here
>>63398286
They're a pop/rock band you imbecile.
>>63396089
I still don't think "someone who prefers for music to have a tune they can hum" needed its own neologism.
>>63398351
And you're a fucking retard
Not everything pop is poptimism

So many butthuer avant-teens ITT
>>63396089
poptimism is drake, taytay, carly etc. almost none of the albums posted on the chart is pop.
>>63398433
>He thinks the Beatles are psychedelic rock
>>63398410
Never said it was moron.
I'm just pointing out how fucking stupid you have to be to think the Beatles aren't pop music. Never breed.
>>63396089
>tfw metalhead and watching Pitchfork/Fantano and Scaruffi/rym drones throw shit at each other
>>63398488
metalheads lost in 2012. you're not relevant, just like varg. witchy is cool though.
>>63398410
It's like some people expect you to apologize for enjoying conventionally pretty sounds. It's the musical equivalent of used up old sluts who get pissed off that men would rather marry younger and hotter women.
I like plenty of ugly music, but pretty music is more challenging to create.

You guys need to stop with all these stupid fucking unnecessary charts.
They're not even helpful, you're just forcing this place to be even more of a hive mind
>>63399136
Holy shit what a pathetic screenshot
