Does anyone else enjoy having a lack of knowledge when it comes to music? I love music and constantly am looking for new artists and albums. Also there isn't a genre I don't have at least a couple albums I enjoy. However, when listening I often have a hard time telling instruments apart (unless it's really obvious, like a piano) and I have no idea what terms like "crescendos" and "textures" and haven't single a clue of what music theory is. I feel my lack of knowledge makes me enjoy it more for some reason but im not sure why? Also, I wrap myself in plastic (except my mouth) and smoke medical marijuana before I listen to most of my albums.
itt teach op music so he stops enjoying it

Music's entirely subjective, so I wouldn't worry about it. Most of this stuff you don't know is simple, anyway.
>telling instruments apart
As in guitar/bass/synthesizers?
I'd understand if it was more obscure instruments like the harpsichord or telling apart different orchestral or brass instruments (not that it's particularly difficult to tell them apart if you've heard them), but telling apart instruments has never been difficult for me, even before I started playing them.
>crescendos
Noun
1. a gradual increase in loudness in a piece of music.
>textures
"In music, texture is how the melodic, rhythmic, and harmonic materials are combined in a composition, thus determining the overall quality of the sound in a piece." A lot of people misuse this word on /mu/, but it's not a very difficult concept to understand.
>haven't single a clue of what music theory is
"The term also describes the academic study and analysis of fundamental elements of music such as pitch, rhythm, harmony, and form, and refers to descriptions, concepts, or beliefs related to music."
Most people on /mu/ don't understand music theory anyway.

what does Fiona Apple have to do with this thread

She's the artist I started listening to when I first got into wrapping myself in plastic and smoking my medicinal marijuana.

Sounds kind of fun.

Timbre is defined as the individual idiosyncrasies of a certain sound/instrument that differentiates it from another sound/instrument.

the only people who don't feel music is subjective are those that care about music as an image more than the music itself
>>65757157
>image
Not relevant. We are discussing music, not image. The two are separate
Music is objective, it can be explained scientifically and measured.

Exactly
Having no knowledge about music is fine, but don't ever think that your opinion has weight to it. Your opinion is as effectively useless as the average Top40-bordering-mentally-retarded listeners by your lack of care.

That would be like me saying "Oh, because you don't wrap yourself in plastic and smoke medical marijuana when you listen to music your opinion doesn't matter."
>>65757264
That would be like me saying "Oh, because you don't wrap yourself in plastic and smoke medical marijuana when you listen to music your opinion doesn't matter." See what a silly jack of an ass you sound like now?
>>65757264
Opinions on music can't have weight to them. Music is subjective, and I say that as someone who plays multiple instruments and has a fairly strong understanding of theory.

...?
>>65757414
False, if you don't understanding Theory and History then your opinion is invalid. It is based upon ignorance and you must submit to the expert's knowledge.
>>65757454
Ur just a dum trip
>>65757697
You're quite literally dumb, self-admitted.
>>65757264
all opinions on music are worthless tbqhwyf
>>65758285
all but your own, that is.
