How is acid house a stupid name?

House music with a 303 (acid) bassline

It's pretty simple

Idm

>>65405698
IDM is probably one of the most stupid if you take it literally, but I would argue the initials themselves have neatly found a way to describe an otherwise indescribable genre, and what they literally stand for doesn't matter at all anymore. "IDM" has become so widespread that it functions in its role as describing a kind of music perfectly, so it's actually one of the better genre names out there.

I would have preferred down tempo.

Trap house
Crunkcore
Psybient
>>
>>65405766
that wouldn't make sense really as a large portion of "idm" is breaks-based and therefore the tempo is pretty high. idm is stupid tho, ia.

genres are useless. we should be classifying music by the emotion it gives us, not the structure it has.

Too bad emotions are subjective and completely worthless in describing technical aspects

you can't classify something that's totally subjective. emotions are a more "abstract" concept while structure is formalist.

how are they not when pertaining to reactions to art?
>>
>>65406142

The fact that sound can be associated with events through something as simple as Classical conditioning should outrule any possibility that the emotion one feels when hearing something should be a widely associated label. Just because someone might feel "jovial" when listening to Electro-swing doesn't mean another would associate it with "irking".

Nerdcore
>Nerdcore is a genre of hip hop music characterized by themes and subject matter considered to be of general interest to nerds. Self-described nerdcore musician MC Frontalot has the earliest known recorded use of the term (to describe this genre) in the 2000 song "Nerdcore Hiphop".[1] Frontalot, like most nerdcore artists, self-publishes his work and has released much of it for free online. As a niche genre, nerdcore generally holds to the DIY ethic, and has a history of self-publishing and self-production

Emotions are subjective. The same piece of music can evoke different emotions in different listeners.
