Has anyone else gone what I've been through?
Is there any way to "plebify" myself again?
it's okay anon. you can air out your insecurities here, but I don't believe you actually believe what you're saying. I've made probably close to 100 threads on /lgbt/ about how I'm not gay but I love dicks. I think it's pretty much the same thing you're doing.
Don't worry, OP. You're the biggest pleb of all if you lose the ability to enjoy something just because you can analyse it.
I mean I'm amazed you were even able to enjoy entry-level /mu/core from the get go you're so pleb.
sounds like you missed the point of the class
Was it just this last semester? Unless you're specifically trying to foster that overanalysis, it will probably slowly wane.
Most /mu/core is objectively bad music
Congratulations on realizing this
Most /mu/core isn't that good, congrats on realizing it [1]
sort of experienced this before but i just change my listening habits

yeah that's why i didn't take a class like that. did history instead
well a lot of /mu/core takes from previous sources that are equal or even better sometimes. Radiohead's style is similar to a bunch of bands and artists like Robert Wyatt, MBV, a bunch of britpop, Neu, Can, Stereolab, a bit if of Nick Drake ( I think) the list goes on. (as an example)
Rock Bottom by Robert Wyatt is great. What /mu/core are you talking about in specific?
>>65252641
That's exactly what I'm talking about. Radiohead just seems so thin compared to those artists. I used to think they were the most unique and emotional band ever, but now I'm getting bored of their music.

well you can only listen to the same few albums so many times.. I do this a lot too but I branched out a lot.

this reminds me of a better version of Bloom, it's from the Rock Bottom album by Robert Wyatt.

I like this track because of how raw it sounds (imo). They manage to create something awesome with just a few chords and by combining it with a bunch of other instruments in the background.
