How can I become a true patrician? I'm a fucking pleb right now.
listen to field recordings exclusively
Just wean yourself off popular music
listen to arca, dean blunt, daniel lopatin, andy morin & james ferraro

you don't care what people say about your taste. a patrician is able to deconstruct and express what it is that you like about music and what you don't. a patrician is open to music but will tell you when he doesn't like something with a well constructed argument.

its funny because classical composers most likely meant their music to be enjoyed and nowadays people like to masturbate to it
>>64826175
thats your average late teen stoner meme lover
>>64826133
stop listening to meme demarco
>>64826173
>Only possible in an industrial monetary economy where it becomes a commodity
>should ideally sell as much as possible
i've been trying to explain this to plebs for years but they just can't understand the concept for some reason. it's so frustrating
>>64826133
Listen to Steely Dan, their production is fucking MINT.
>>64826175
this
Just listen to what you want and you'll probably expand your comfort zone over time naturally.
If you like Mac you should listen to R. Stevie. And then after getting into him stuff like The Residents starts to sound less weird etc.
listen to mars volta
>>64826175
Yep, they're basically the only musicians worth listening to in this day and age.
>>64826133
>become self aware
>criticize your own taste and force yourself to expand out of what you're familiar with
>spend a while searching for new music, movies, books, etc without preconceptions on whats good, cataloging what you arbitrarily enjoy
>look for connecting threads between the things that spark interest in you to identify your definition of "good"
>find more things that are "good"
>post about it on an anonymous korean rice trading board
>>64826175
yep
>>64826133
patrician and pleb is like ying and yang
you have to find a balance
Neutral Milk Hotel - In The Aeroplane over the sea
Get into good thrash metal
>>64826133
well, in the aesthetic/social way of things, if you wanna be cool, you can't be afraid of nothing, like Prince said
as for music
>being this arrogant and shallow
if you were truly patrician in music you'd be confident in your tastes
>>64826173
>>64826175
your a dorable
patrician here. you just need to really start hating music.
i mean, all forms of music are terrible and boring once you listened to it all.
>>64828790
you are not patrician, you are depressed
>>64828825
p sure i am; listening to 20s jazz remixed into dark ambient atm
>>64828858
damn. i take back what i said
>>64826133
understand that "patrician" as a concept is completely subjective, and is basically just a jerk-off shitposting meme word
just listen to what you like, explore your tastes, and push your limits and you will be "patrician" enough

If you unironically listen to anything except Mozart and wall noise you know nothing.
>>64828955
mozart sucks
>>64828907
>this is what poptimists actually believe
>>64826175
basically just do this
>>64826133
Listen to classical unironically
>>64828987
[FURTHER PROOF INTENSIFIES]
>>64826133
Learn to love Radiohead
>>64829117
And then learn to hate Radiohead
>>64826750
i'm a pleb but will be the first to admit that this is true. its status as a commodity has only been made worse by the internet.
>>64828907
get a load of this pleb
Listen to the logical conclusion to music i.e. psychedelic pop
>>64828991
lol i'm not even a poptimist, i'm just tired of cringing at the pretentious pissing contests that happen on this board daily.
start writing your own personal reviews
knowing why you liked something either than "it sounds good lol" is essential in developing patrician taste
