HE literally looks like Brendan Fraser
>listening to anything this conspiritard says
why would you expect pop music to be intelligent/why would you care about pop music in the first place
>>64299527
haha i knew i recognized that guy from somewhere. ima click dis shit hold up brb.
>>64299281
says pop songs are stupid
claims only 4 people are able to produce these songs well enough to reach the top ten
>>64299281
But at the same time, he said modern art is shit, meaning he probably won't like /mu/core. :(
>>64299281
Literally nobody who listens to top 40 cares. They usually don't even listen to the lyrics, they just want something to dance to.
>>64299636
dafuck is top ten, m8?
>plays kanye in the middle of the video
/mu/ absolutely btfo
It's so weird to think that just a couple years ago this guy was posting Family Guy clips as proof of a conspiracy around the boston bombing, bilderberg conspiracies, and other classic info-wars shit. When did SJWs become cooler than lizard-people?
>>64299724
Maybe he got sick of Alex Jones' bullshit and wanted to do things he actually cared about.
>>64299281
this guy is literally such a piece of ignorant shit
he has a terrible voice for talking on Youtube as well
>>64299636
While this guy is an idiot, that's not really the point.
It's not hard to make the music they're making. The labels are the reason the songs get to the top. If the labels releasing these popular artists had less of an influence, the chart would be much better. It would be controlled by people who actually care to listen to music rather than people who just eat up what is given to them.
>>64299281
Holy shit, it's…
Sorry OP, not watching it.
>>64299767
>current year
>doesn't use adblock
>>64299752
He wasn't even working for AJ. Info-wars has been cornering the anti-SJW market as well, with their coverage of anti-Trump rallies.
It's funny to see this transition.
literally nufedora
trying to imagine what poptimists would do if payola suddently stopped to be used
>>64299885
So he was a conspiracy nut. At least Info-wars is doing us a service instead act like retards.
why this much hate. I don't watch this guy and I get why he can get a bit annoying but he's saying an (evident) truth, and using arguments, while this board is full of the bullshit he critiques. plus he's fucking cute
>>64300046
I didn't watch the video I've just watched him in the past, shouting as he always does, about how modern art has no value or feminists are evil
>>64299688
>They usually don't even listen to the lyrics,
if that was true, pop music wouldnt have lyrics.
This would cut costs, and big labels I am sure as hell love to cut costs
>>64299527
>>listening to anything this conspiritard says
How do you know someone is a conspiratard before you listen to a word of what he said?
>>64300046
nevermind I just watched this and changed my mind https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc6PK7aqTO0
>>64300206
modern feminism is cancer tho
OP might as well post a Mark Dice video
>>64299281
Lel I just showed this video to my mom today and she got offeneded when he bashed Coldplay
>>64300307
>modern feminism is cancer tho
I half-agree but not at all for the reasons he was bringing up in his video
>>64300307
>modern feminisim is cancer tho
Misandry is cancer. Feminism is advocacy for gender equality, a definition that has been twisted by a vocal minority.
>>64300046
>picking from the lowest hanging fruits
>citing dave fucking grohl
>an evident truth
>an argument
haha oh my god. what did a bunch of high schoolers do to this pleb to make him this pissed off at them?
>>64300367
no offense, but it's stupid to dissect words when you know exactly whan I mean.
>paul meme watson
/mu/ is truly the most bluepilled board
>>64300421
Either way, modern feminism isn't cancer.
You're probably a feminist, even if you don't identify as one. If you're not a feminist, you're a bigoted asshole.
>>64300512

>comparing non top pop artist from 1970's to top pop artist of 2016
xD
>>64300215
TURN DOWN FOR HWAAAT!
also with the edm pandemic lyrics are becoming less of a necessity.
>>64300250
I've seen his videos before? He has non-ironic videos regarding the illuminati.
Literally this guys point is DONT HAVE FUN.
epik
>>64300465
There's so much contradictory shit here that it covers just about anybody with an internet connection or an opinion
>>64300881
I think that's the joke.
>>64300914
That means anon refuted his own point
>>64300512
these debates are essentially between second and third wave feminists. most people on the internet who complain about feminism agree with all second wave ideas and resent the third wave
>>64300367
The vocal minority isn't a minority anymore. More and more social media outlets are utilizing more radical feminist rhetoric. Be honest with your movement and don't try to hide what you are.
>>64299281
>used kanye as an example of bad singing on a video dedicated to talent less artists
this faggots just sounds like your typical bitter /pol/faggot.
>>64301134
or youtube comment level ignorant complaining
>>64299767
He's trying to warn us.
WHY DOES. HE. TALK LIKE. THIS.
>>64301134
it was a great example.
>television and film are better now than they were in the 70s and 80s
O I AM LAFFIN
Anyway, this guy is wrong is about almost everything. The only thing that's true is the hack mastering and the fact that most pop music now is written and produced by Max Martin and his Swedish cuck squad. Though I'm not sure that's a bad thing considering they're pretty good at it.
>>64301273
Pioneer a whole genre then win 21 grammys before talking shit moron. He isn't your typical "pop" artists, he wasn't even a pop artist.
If College Dropout would be released this year, it would be /mu/core and still reach top charts.
>>64301273
No, it was a pointless example. He's not well-known or well-regarded by anyone for his singing ability.
what a cutie
i would totally drink his urine
>>64301266
He speaks slowly so the sheeple can understand him
>>64301357
this
the jewtube faggot's point was that without autotune most artists would sound like shit
except kanye practically made autotune popular and used it as a tool for 808s, not to make his rapping sound any better.
>>64301397
are you serious
his face has JUST written all over it
>>64300881
lmao not really. everything on their is just shitty popular intellectual stimuli for edgy redditors ranging from left to right wing political ideas. not all-encompassing at all, pleb
>>64300465
>I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE
worst thing on facebook. every time i see some normie sharing this fucking page it's always some gay shit like "let's discuss the physics of quidditch" and a bunch of psuedo-nerds in the comments sperging out, even though 95% of them would flunk out of indtroductory physics
>>64301397
I bet his piss is as hot as his opinions.
>>64299281
Why should we fucking care. Music isn't being destroyed, in fact we have some pretty good shit being made nowadays. I don't know why he acted like the loudness war was so earth shattering. It's more of an annoyance than anything
>>64301266
He even seems to speak like that normally. It is fucking outrageously upsetting. Pausing to give his non-points greater breathing room.
>>64300307
Capitalism is based
This guy literally believes in chemtrails/illuminati shit
I can't fucking believe there are people on the internet who do not share my point of view. I'm going to create an entire video series detailing my anger over these people who have no impact on my life.
>>64299281
>he thinks lyrics are important
immediately dropped
lol that frank zappa part was funny tho.
All you faggots just resort to lame insults that you feeble-minded sheep always do. You really can't deny the truth that today's music is a brainwashing tool to make people stupid.
The post-2000s music are just so incredibly ridiculous. All these stupid musicians should die in a fire or get beheaded for their terrible music, while I laugh hysterically at their pain while you stans cry like the dogs you are.
You just can't handle the hard truths.
why are poptimists all murderers?
>>64299281
>listening to anything from a guy associated with infowars
>>64302892
Lyrics ARE important to music. Without lyrics, music would just be stupid noise, just like the noise I hear on the radio-just stupid and simpleminded. All these shitty songs can't even compare to the complex lyricism and the intelligent masterpiece that is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. It's undeniably perfect. So go back to your poptimist bullshit and fuck off.
>>64299281
kek just one of alex beergut jones goons trying to appeal to enlightened fedora tipers for more views
>>64299527
Yet all he said was scientific fact
>>64303012
>the complex lyricism and the intelligent masterpiece that is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
this is one of the most basic concepts, and his video is that of a 7th grade education.
why doesnt he delve deeper into the problem of hive mind group think, artistic merit, internet homogenizing literally everything in culture not just music. or you know, the good thing about boring music where everyone looks and sounds the same, is its easier for a revolution to occur, like it does every 5-10 years in music, anyways so who gives a shit?
He's right you know
>>64303012
the only people who need words to enjoy a song are add autist spergs such as yourself
>>64303135
To clarify to you idiots...
The only genre of music wuthout words that I approve is Jazz and Classical. Along with Rock, tese three genres are the epitome of music and will forever be the epitome of music. No other music such as today's shitty noise can even compare to the outstanding influence and complexity of these genres. So fuck off already.

>>64303215
weak af tripfag gimmick
0/10, is this really all moo has to offer for trolling?
>>64299281
The problem with this cuckold is that he cherrypicks things that he dislikes (easy targets), gets irrationally angry at it, and then passes his "analysis" off as fact.
>>64299885
It's paranoia. The lizard people are well and good, but there's really no basis for it. SJWs however can be deconstructed as a social movement and have essentially any group of people that you don't like be the driving force behind it. It's a pretty niche thing in practice but the internet can distort one's ideas of reality.
>>64303296
>>64303268
>resorting to lame insults instead of being reasonable
Get out
>>64303071
Except for the parts which aren't scientific or facts, which it turns out is most of it.
>>64300465
I'm Confused, is the joke supposed to be the fact that there's all the contradictory stuff?
>>64300881
>>64303431
Left or right, there's a definite breed of internet bred "intellectuals" whose pure, concentrated arrogance outweighs the combined mass of every textbook they've studied put together.
>>64303215
>>64303388
You want people to be reasonable? Alright then. I am now going to resonably ask why you don't approve of other lyric-less genres? Are things such as ambient and idm too slow for you? Perhaps too memey? Elaborate on your opinions so we may shit upon them and laugh.
>>64303596
Why are you engaging this guy? Do you think there's a victory to be won here?
>>64299753
I literally disagree with you
>>64303880
>literally disagree
as opposed to what?
>>64303908
Metaphorically or hypothetically
>>64303715
Not really anon i just want to see him go full retard and laugh at him to boost my ego
>>64303951
who does that?
>>64303963
well you asked as opposed to what, so I literally responded with the two other available options. idk who does it but I might start
He's right tbqhwy
>>64301266
his audience take /pol/ jokes seriously what do you expect.
>info wars
>Paul Joseph Watson
>>64299281
he's not wrong
God I hate this fuckwit
>>64299767
people use the internet without an adblocker?
>>64299281
This guy is a filthy peasant who doesn't understand the relevance or the core concepts behind the dadaist movement in the early 20th century.
Why would you seriously consider his opinion?
He clearly doesn't understand something as simple and unpretentious as readymades.
>>64303012

he's hot
I want to stick my dick in his mouth and gag him
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWI0OGWTCoE
you should watch this
what this guy is saying is obviously right
people who like Taylor Swift/CRJ/Kpop tier pop are completely delusional
however, I'm interested in people like Drake, whom I like, who have been accused of using ghostwriters. He is someone who does have a clear personality of his own, though the argument can be made from his music alone that it has been at least partially quashed to be more successful. Nevertheless even in a mass appeal pop song like Hotline Bling (which I think is brilliant) which is obviously didn't write so much of his personality comes through and is arguably what makes the song great.
his new album is not boding well on that front though...
>>64299527
>devo poster

nice jej
>>64303424
sure a lot of it was opinion, but pop is becoming more samey, that's fucking fact
>>64306007
>accused
lol hop off drakes dick for a minute pham
>>64306176
it just feels too good...
I guess it's all but confirmed then? I honestly didn't look too much into it. Guess I didn't really want to know.
>>64302866
>>64303364
>Thinking he's actually angry
Come on now, it's clickbait aimed at "le wrong generation" people. Being a YouTube Ranter isn't about being right or mad, it's about the ad money.
>>64306113
this is a truly ignorant remark.

See, was that so hard?
Why bother posting some shitty opinion piece in the first place?
Dynamic range being lost is not a phenomenon exclusive to pop music.
>>64299494
Looks like Bill Bruford but is somehow more pretentious
>>64308008
you cannot argue that music is simplifying from statistical pitch analysis
if you thought that would work you're really stupid
>>64308032
idk I thought people actually read and could find the information that proves my point as the links are right in your face but apparently you need to be spoon fed like a infant
>>64308076
Yes.
You should want to spoonfeed me, so I see in what I am reading the same thing you see in it when you are reading it.
>>64301266
He has correctly identified his target audience as retarded people who need things to be explained slowly and in simple terms.
>>64308102
yeah that's why he was telling them modern art is meaningless. Also look at this pandering lol https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ksajP0hOggY
>>64308067
"Yet, we find three important trends in the evolution of musical discourse: the restriction of pitch sequences (with metrics showing less variety in pitch progressions), the homogenization of the timbral palette (with frequent timbres becoming more frequent), and growing average loudness levels "
It's getting homogenized and louder. Need to read again, or is that not clear enough?
