Ok, so bear with me.
There are all sorts of memes that most of us don't really have a reason to really understand-- few people stay on /mu/ for more than a year. However, everyone who enters knows what the previous generation liked and instinctually penalizes anyone who speaks ill of it. A similar effect is true vis-a-vis albums. The effect is illustrated in pic related.
By getting a few posters together to adamantly support some position for a few months, then, you can make any opinion seem valid, and direct the course of /mu/ history. This explains the caveman Spongebob meme, Animal Collective, and Neutral Milk Hotel, just to scratch the surface
that's why /mu/ needs contrarians and elitists

I broke free from the dogma of memes and meme music though.
Any act that at some point is universally praised will eventually be see as plebeian by the """patrician""" crowd. This explains Animal Collective and Neutral Milk Hotel

i'm glad you made it :]
>>64170921
animal collective really is bad though

I actually enjoy that performance
>>64170974
Animal Collective is good though. Look At Campfire Songs (their true best) and tell me it isn't a masterpiece of Drone Folk
>>64171004
it's true
>>64171067
yeah I don't like them but Campfire Songs is very good, and I'm a contrarian who literally fell asleep while listening to MPP
>>64171067
okay i'll try it and i hope you're right but im p sure it wont be good judging from what ive heard of theirs
thanks
>>64171094
thats encouraging
and yeah mpp is cringe-inducingly bad
>>64171114
It's completely different from literally everything else they've ever made. I like their other stuff but CS is a standout
>>64171094
That's because MPP is their most overrated album. I still like it though
>>64170465
Nah, /mu/ has definitely changed in the 6 years I've been surfing. Besides all of the stupid anime and shit posting that's here now, people are a lot more harsh on /mu/ core

what's wrong with posting anime images
