I can honestly say that I've been asked a million times why I rate albums arbitrarily. And I normally just shrug and say, "it's a hobby". But that's a lie. Because when I'm on RYM, I'm at home.

Hail, Caesar! is actually an unintentional great movie. 1.5 seems harsh
rateyourmusic.com/~tartarkastike
I can honestly say that I've been asked a million times why I rate music. Usually, I just shrug and say "It's a hobby."
But that's a lie.
Because when I'm on RYM, I'm at home. From the spectralism of Horatiu Radulescu, to the musique concrète of Jed Speare, to the EAI of Martin Siewert. Everything I listen to, is the music I love, and know.
My entire life, people preached that I could be anything that I wanted to be. But when I told them that I wanted to be a tastemaker. An avant-teen. The avant-teen with over 15,000 ratings. That I want to be the next AntiWarhol. They told me that I need to get a grip on reality.
Now I understand that it's human nature to achieve rational ecstasy, but I can do this as an avant-teen. I don't need a degree. And if I want to go achieve rational ecstasy, I don't ever have to leave the comfort of my own home.
Yet people spend an entire salary to buy CDs. And I can't help but laugh. I've single-handedly downloaded 200 albums of obscure onkyo from Soulseek.
But before I could do that, I needed to learn their language. Add all avant-teens as friends and copy their high ratings one by one. Not to mention I had to delete entire pages of P4kcore ratings, along with several Scaruffi favorites before I could even begin my lessons in being an avant-teen.
I've rated fifteen pages of EAI. I wanted to be the guy, and I became the guy. I rated Antoine Beuger five stars. And I've been droning AntiWarhol for generations, just so I could get to the top of his compatibility list.
I have my own world at my fingertips. If I screw my ratings up, I can mass edit them. I can't do that in real life. But when I'm on RYM, I'm free to do what I please, when I please. I'm free to enjoy music the way I want to. I can build my own legion of mindless drones and lead them to rate obscure avant-folk five stars, because I'm the mind behind the music.
I'm the one who enjoys this music.
I am an avant-teen, and I always will be.

So a long time ago SellMeAGod showed us a new way of rating. Since then, a lot of unique rating systems showed up.
Now our lord and savior sharifi gave us the custom rating system, with up to 100 different ratings. How do you think RYM will use this? Is there any "intelligent" way of using it?

This website is a tumor that has been leeching my time, soul and energy for almost four years. I turn twenty years old on March 28th, and I'd be disgusted with myself if I let such an immature vehicle for narcissism continue to affect my life from this point forward.
Rating is completely pointless, and it's clear that every other 'solution' I've tried to solve the RYM problem in my life has been a temporary patch to a permanent problem.
I'm locking myself out of my account tomorrow evening. I hope that anyone reading this considers doing the same. The way RYM treats music, both as a website and a community, is antithetical to how music is innately supposed to be.
If you're reading this, please reconsider the role RYM has in your life, and consider getting off this site. Most users I've talked to don't even want to be on the site, and I definitely feel that this website is a sickness much stronger than most people realize.

It's easy: just put on Morton Feldman's second string quartet and confront yourself and your self (as an ontological historical entity) with the mirror of atonality (as a mirror is not an empathic but a reflexive entity, alien to the space and time it reflects and only existing by itself in relation to the other) and realize the boundaries of human thought, comprehension and consciousness
Alternatively, you can put on 音影 and gaze into the nightsky as woodrose petals shade in two eeriely-isolated electronic juxtapositions as a kiss -- or semblant stoic continuance -- in apparent lieu of rendering salival secretions noted as purposely 'incidental.'

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

built to spill is indie rock you goddamn autists
>>65787196
lol i bet you think built to spill isnt indie rock because they were on a major label
>>65787366
their music is also way more guitar oriented to be considered a regular indie band
they have more in common with lets say television than they do with interpol/pavement/the national/whatever
why is sal so fucking boring and why does he thinks hes something special?

>>65790529
better question is why now, he's been on the site for ages and only got a couple mentions here calling him an autist at that, and now... now this. why??
>>65790900
Because he's been posting stupid shit in the RYM forums since day 1 trying to get famous and only recently realized he could viralize his name here on an "anonymous" forum in order to boost his ego
>>65791002
Oh yeah that would make sense
I always suspected it's been him (and maybe his buds deagger/cacespace/idk who else) samefagging viraling him on here, but him being super religious threw me off. pride being a deadly sin and all.
>>65790529
Because his taste in music is amazing, he's funny, and overall just plain awesome.
>>65790529
Idk, his taste is music is pretty great but there's plenty of other users that are better overall.
>>65791117
no he fucking isn't, he is like the RYM equivalent to pedro from napoleon dynamite
Why is sodr2 so based?
>>65759889

i'd equate him to roberto benigni's character from Down by Law actually
>>65790529
>tfw only today i realized sodr2 is a faker too
he had a bunch of /mu/core shit 5 starred, stuff like loveless, can, godspeed, american football, slowdive, etc and then suddenly one day in 2012 he completely changed all of his ratings, i used to think it was a joke, only now i realize its him being a fake ass faker who completely changed his taste overnight
