>oh man i really like this song
Eh, the lyrics qre pretty rubbish
>oh i dont listen to lyrics
if lyrics can ruin your enjoyment of an otherwise good track you are the real pleb in this scenario, I'm sorry
>"yeah man I really like this song it just makes me feel good I don't care about composition or theory or anything meaningful, music quality is subjective after all haha"
But lyrics and words is literally the most plebeian thing in music. Anyone with a middle-school education can right words that has meaning or rhymes.
Try learning to play an instrument for once and use it to invoke feelings and meanings.
it's the opposite actually, only plebs listen to lyrics. Anyone with a decent grasp of literature and poetry must make a conscious effort to block out "lyrics" because there has never been an instance where they were good, unless they were words set to music.

this
i only listen for the beat
>>65234963
>enjoying something is the same thing as saying a it is 10/10
don't think either one is necessarily pleb in this scenario. people appreciate music for different reasons. there's no real right/wrong.
>>65234986
FUCK OFF
>"Yeah man I mean the guitars/drumming is dope but I can't stand the screamo vocals"
>screamo
>SCREAMO

Someone could make the most incredible piece of music of all time but the second they rhyme desire with fire it's fucking trash

FUCKING NORMIE SHIT STOP RESPONDING TO MY POSTS
>>65234944
I don't get it, are you saying you're the pleb in this scenario?
>>65235064
the fact that I'm not a native English speaker probably helps me to ignore such cringe :^)

Why do we know so many musically illiterate people
>>65234944
You're the pleb for caring about lyrics.
>Rec someone music
>Oh yah I don't really like listening to new stuff I only have a couple bands I listen to
>Okay that's fair I don't want to force people to listen to stuff that can be annoying
>Band I know he listens to makes new album
>Try to talk about it
>Oh yah I can't really find the time to listen to it I just wanna listen to their old stuff
>????
>Driving with him one day
>Only have one 15-or-so-song playlist of music they listen to
This motherfucker is an alien pretending to like music to me
>>65235494
You're probably also a pleb that think that screamo means metal.
>>65235831
Good God. Is there something else they're really into or something? They cant5have shit taste like this in everything.
>>65234944
This is exactly what everyone said about that Anohni album
>>65235261
>>65235721
This must be why I can never get a discussion about the Mountain Goats going here
>>65235150
embarassing post
>I go on /mu/
>>65236127
Nah yr just a few years and one John Green too late to get any John Darnielle discussion out of /mu/
>>65234969
>can right words
Not you apparently.
>>65236127
That's because you need to be at least 18 to post here, this board is mostly made up of males, and nu males are on tumblr.
>I like everything except rap and country
>>65236171
Oh so its one of those 'thing 4chan likes gets popular so everybody pretends they never liked it' things like /v/ with Undertale.
>>65235494
My friend called For Reverend Green screamo
>Hey anon what music do you like?
>music
>like
>>65236257
>I like everything except that screamo heavy metal music
>Oh I LOVE metal like Bring Me The Horizon, Asking Alexandria, etc.
>I'm sooo weird (at this point they proceed to listen to songs with at least twenty million views on youtube)
When fronted with genuine critics to their artists:
>Oh you don't get it, they're the best...
And other in-denial bullshit, as if you were insulting them.
>>65236268
No, it's one of those things that get fucking panned because they're actually shit. Like when Toni Fucks posted his hacks here some years ago and got panned.
The Mountain Goats suck.
>>65236410

>The Mountain Goats suck.
10/10 post famalam
>>65236268
Yeah the sunset tree and all hail west texas were always discussed, and the hype threads for transcendental youth were pretty huge
But the growing association with the vlogbrothers and subsequent boost to the tumblr fanbase became too much and it quickly became taboo to enjoy them
>>65235323
and you've heard him sing them?
awful
>You like System of a Down?
>Yeah! I love Chop Suey
>You listen to Weezer?
>Of course! Buddy Holly is my favorite
kill me fampai
>>65237041

>>65237063
True
>>65234944
The joke is on you because you are the plebeian. People who listen to lyrics are idiots and completely deserve to die. Rock lyrics are virtually never good and lyrics regarded as being """"good"""" are extremely, extremely, extremely mediocre poetry.
A case in point is Spiderland. Spiderland has amazing musical composition but has some of the worst lyrics ever recorded. It is still a masterpiece of rock because the lyrics do not affect the quality of the music one iota.
While we're at it, Leonard Cohen is an absolutely terrible artist whose music AND lyrics both are very, very bad. Bob Dylan's musical abilities also surpass is lyrical abilities because his lyrics are terrible as well.
The range of lyrical ability in music ranges from mind-rapingly retarded to absolutely horrific. Anybody who has a different opinion from me on this issue is objectively incorrect and should be made to feel bad about themselves.
>best friend listens almost exclusively to vocaloid shit
>get home, he's listening to music
>ask him what he's listening to
>interior crocodile alligator
>oh hey I didn't know you liked rap
>What? Oh I'm just listening to that one part
>check what he's listening to
>it's this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_qUiytLYRc
>he's on hour 4
am i the pleb?
>>65237208
>Spiderland
>lyrics do not effect the quality
fuck have you even listened to the album
>>65237208
>i get my opinions from /mu/ general
>out with my ultra-normie friend
>walk by a record stop
>'anon you love music, lets go in'
>less than ten steps in the door
>'Oh my god! I didn't know Eminem did vinyl!'
>'I wonder if they have Muse. Muse is my favourite band'
>'Wait these are better than CD's?'
>'Check out my new earphones btw' *pulls out 100$ piece of shit plastic*
I wish I was memeing, this was painful
>>65237418
were those earphones in-ears, because then 100$ would be okay I guess
lyrics are in important dimension to music and if youre tuning them out youre not really listening
>>65237579
What about mostly instrumental genres such as ambient, drone or techno?
>>65237208
This is probably the worst description of Spiderland and Bob Dylan I've ever seen, congratulations. You could literally say Spiderland is about an amusement park for spiders and I'd respect your opinion more.
>>65237208
this has to be a joke
>>65237315
It's AFFECT you fucking idiot. Also, I have listened to that album. What is your point? You are simply incorrect about the album, and that is the first and last of it.
>>65237399
I have not even been on /mu/ general and I get my opinions by simply accepting what is correct.
>>65237604
obviously i only mean in music that has lyrics
>>65237286
He's gone full-scale patrician.
>>65237208
>says something correct
>"here, let me use three super well known examples that directly contradict my claim"
>"if you disagree you're stupid"
>>65237286
Funniest part is that line is actually fairly clever and makes sense given the context of the song
>>65237208
Man this is awful. Terrible post.
