What are some of the most infuriating normie opinions on music?
>Tupac is the greatest of all time and nobody will surpass him.
> Kurt Cobain was a genius
> Dark Side of the Moonrijuana
> Hating on Nickelback but enjoying similarly bad shit
>>65797908
>Tupac is the greatest of all time and nobody will surpass him.
> Kurt Cobain was a genius
but these are true tho
DSotM is an amazing album, though. Not my personal favorite album, but one of them.
White yuppies who love Beyonce
My biggest peeve is people defending electronic music as something that requires the same amount of skill as a musician in any sort of band
"I listen to everything...EXCEPT country and rap."
>popularity is intrinsic to (or a good indication of) musical quality
>genius is a relevant variable
>"yeah, well, I like it" is a valid response to a musical critique
>This music is weird, 'cause it lacks lyrics (weird here means bad and scary)
>Adele (or similars) are jazz
>Loving a band because it is aproved by the comunity after only listening ~3 songs (or maybe nothing at all)
>Classical is boring music from the middle ages
>electronic music is a 90s-00s thing
>>65798065
>>65797927
Tupac was the Queen of hip hop, never made a good album but a few real good singles and everyone's on their dick calling them GOAT
>A7X is a great metal band
At least normies recognize that Slipknot is suckage.
>"i don't like rap 'cause it's all about money and misogyny and shit like that"
>"music nowadays sucks generations before us had pink floyd and the beatles and now all we have is justin bieber and nicki minaj"
>>65797908
>>65798232
how about "listening to metal in general"
>>65797908
>Tupac is the greatest of all time and nobody will surpass him.
Jesus fuck, as someone who listens to a lot of hip hop, I don't understand this opinion. He was average at best and his albums had a lot of filler. I swear this is mostly said by hip hop babbies who just got into the genre.
Biggie was way better btw.
>>65798065
>implying it can't be
I had a friend argue that artists put nearly no thought into the sequencing of an album
>>65797908
if you don't think kurt cobain was a genius then you're probably a pleb
>>65798152
>Adele (or similars) are jazz
people don't really believe this, do they?
>>65798232
Slipknot's not that bad tho.
>>65798367
Not him, but I have heard this too
>>65797936
true tho
>Kanye is an awful rapper, he's such a dick!
>>65797908
people saying ITAOTS isn't a meme
>>65798447
As a white guy who loves Kanye, this is usually something white people say.
I've had personal experiences with people who say this shit and they've generally never heard any of his music except possibly "Gold Digger" or "Stronger" nearly 10 years ago.
>>65798480
but it's true
>>65798065
>Judging music not by how good they sound but how 'difficult' it is to play or produce
That anything they don't like is only liked by people because it's obscure even if it's not even obscure.
>>65798594
Fucking this. I hate getting weird looks or responses because I decided to explore music. Why is anything outside of "popular" deemed weird and bad? It makes no logical sense.
>>65798065
>requires the same amount of skill as a musician in any sort of band
For it to be good it absolutely does.
>What are some of the most infuriating normie opinions on music?
this is.
>>65798065
>OP is straight
Nothing boils my blood like hearing this.
>>65798101
"i listen to rock and other white music"
>>65798203
You're wrong. Both Me Against the World & All Eyes On Me are fantastic. Great storytelling and consistent rhymes. One of the very few rappers brave enough to show his soft side.
People that still fucking listen to top 40 singles from the 90s and early 2000s like "Summer Of 69".
God I fucking hate that song with a fiery passion.
>>65798777
you really just don't listen to much hip hop, do you?
>>65798789
>Summer of 69
>90s
>2000s
>>65797908
>When a musician dies (The Funky Diabetic from A Tribe Called Quest, Prince, David Bowie, Lemmy from Moterhead) and they hop on the bandwagon of "loving" and "connecting" with their music. They'll male a bigger deal about the death than some of the longtime fans of these artists.
>>65798894
fucking this, same shit happened when Prince and Lou Reed died, along with the ones you mentioned
>>65798065
Here's to (You) Nicola and Bart
>I listen to everything except country and rap
>No, there's some good country out there actually, I really like Townes Van Zandt, Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson
>The Beatles are better than The Rolling Stones
>Music today is garbage compared to classic rock
>Kurt Cobain/Nirvana was good
>>65799226
the rolling stones suck fucking donkey dick. if you said the kinks that would be a different story
>>65798868
I was close enough. It's still a garbage song that still gets airplay
>>65799340
The Rolling Stones have about 10 classic albums phamalam.
>>65797908
>MBDTF
>good
>>65799415
you
>>65798621
It does make some sense. I assume you analyse music from a point of view concerned primarily with aesthetics, you probably try to be objective in your judgement, that is, you disregard social and political implications.
That goes against the will of the music industry and consequently general listeners, where the primary use of music is to consume as entertainment, and through expression of taste curate a persona, signify social class etc.
Your assumtion of the aesthetic position disconcerts them in the same way free improvisation threatens the hegemony of composition.
>>65799479
Friend, I highly doubt any casual music listener is thinking about the way you described music. Besides, if they're smarter than the average joe they should be able to separate the entertainment part from the analysing. Besides, I enjoy music too while wanting to dissect it.
>>65799520
>I highly doubt any casual music listener is thinking about the way you described music
Of course not. It all happens subconsciously.
>>65799340
>anything by the kinks
better than
>Aftermath, Between The Buttons, Beggars Banquet, Let It Bleed, Sticky Fingers, Exile On Main St, Some Girls, Tattoo You
>>65798480
Kanye is a shit tho. I get questioned a lot about my dislike of his music and am usually told that I probably haven't seen him live in order to get the full experience.
He's just as bad live. He headlined a festival last year and I saw most of his set before I couldn't stand it any longer.
>>65798594
>>65798621
death grips is not obscure you fags
>>65800455
Wasn't thinking of Death Grips and also I already said "that isn't even obscure".
>>65797908
How can you listen to this and not want to dance OP?

Shit, I didn't even know he died.

ok m8
>>65800569
Was most successful artist of his genre, put out 3 classic albums, was only popular for 3 years, is the artist that most believe best represented the sound of the 90's
>not a genius
>>65800072
The kinks?
Don't you mean the meh tier Beatles?
>>65798789
But the nostalgia
>>65800614
Was most successful artist of his genre, put out 3 classic albums, was only popular for 3 years, is the artist that most believe best represented the sound of the late-90's/early-00's

>when their tastes are largely dictated by white guilt
like >>65798747
>>65800547
I only found out a couple of weeks ago myself, seems insane that barely anybody is talking about his passing, ATCQ were legitimate hip hop GOATs
>>65798016
Poor poc who love beyonce
>>65798273
You had me until Biggie. Eazy-e was better than both, though
>>65800455
Hey man I have a massive cock ok haha
>>65800721
Fair point
A friend of mine said he wanted to see more big name groups do covers of old classics like hiw Disturbed covered The Sound of Silence.
I was so triggered I had a hard time keeping the conversation friendly.
>>65798777
OP is a retard but you're wrong too. All Eyez isn't fantastic. Me Against the World and Strictly for my Niggaz are his best.
>>65799375
But did you get your first real six-string down at the five and dime?
I bet u did, faggot.
>>65798894
>>65799166
Guys...
>>65801899
>Disturbed covered The Sound of Silence
Wow, that was fucking awful.
>>65801899
Sounds like you just lost a friend.
>>65798252
Metal is good
>>65802661
He was always the least intp music in our circle, but we grew up together so I think we can get over this one.
>>65802727
cringe
Treating the Beatles as music gods.
Their music was too bubblegum pop.
>>65798894
this
is disgusting
(i'm looking at you Kanye, madonna, etc.)
>>65803149
implying than making "bubblegum" pop doesn't need godlike writing talent
>>65798247
>"i don't like rap 'cause it's all about money and misogyny and shit like that"
Most of it is though
>Rocked Reviews
>Makes a series of "Regretting The Past" reviews about albums that are mostly made by bands that are popular to hate such as Nickelback, Creed, and Limp Bizkit.
>Gives a pass to bands that are equally as bland such as Breaking Benjamin, Skillet, and Imagine Dragons.
>>65798894
>tfw death of Emerson and Riverside guitarist hit you harder than all of these
>>65798549
this is the same shit as with prog and jazz technical wankery
>>65803275
Its easy to write music with a group of people.
The only time music is ever hard is when you make it alone
>>65803258
he made one tweet as a tribute and people still bashed him over that
https://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/686449257767776256
>>65798367
Also not OP but I've heard this.
Worst one was Dave Matthews Band though.
Another thing that pisses me off is when somebody acts like they have knowledge of Jazz when all they listen to is vocal shit from the rat pack.
>>65797908
Kurt Cobain was a genius though you nigger
but I feel that Nickelback one like
>hahahahaha yeah man nickelback sucks ass
>bumps kings of leon and train
>>65798065
Then you r the normie trash
>>65798777
>One of the very few rappers brave enough to show his soft side.
Listen to more hip-hop
>>65798065
Actually it requieres more skill than plucking some strings.
>>65798855
I've listened to over 100 hip-hop albums. You can decide if that's a lot or not.
>>65802322
Okay, I concede. All Eyez On Me isn't fantastic but it's at least an 8/10. I'll have to check out Strictly for my Niggaz.
>>65798065
Musicians who play "real" instruments are total hacks who have to hire someone other than themselves to mix and master their music.
>>65803275
anyone else wanna try this tasty, tasty bait?
>>65798777
>>65805522
Then you probably just don't know how to use the internet to search for music, I guess. There's really nothing special about a rapper "brave enough to show his soft side".
>>65798016
>>65800919
anyone who likes beyonce
>>65798789
Bryan Adams is in my top 5 most hated musicians. Seriously, fuck that guy.
>plebs who can't even respect jazz or bother to gove it a shot
>fans of blues made after 1970 by white hacks
>>65797908
>well produced music is good music
>production can be objectively good
this shit really grinds my gears
>>65805759
Do normies even talk about production at all?
>>65805775
yes
they talk about whether they think it's good or bad all the time
>>65798313
Just show them Voltaire's "To the Bottom of the Sea".
>>65799226
Townes Van Zandt is pleb? There is some really great country.. John Prine, Blaze Foley, Bobbie Gentry, Gene Clark and the Byrds, Gram Parsons, Marty Robbins, Lee Hazlewood.. Why is this a pleb opinion?
>>65797908
>saying Kanye sucks because of what they know of him in the media
>thinking a band is bad simply because they have a weird name
>thinking they are special for knowing songs like comfortably numb,stairway to heaven, etc
>>65805828
>Townes Van Zandt
He's part of the mt. rushmore of Country musicians that people who don't like country say is good.
>>65805739
>jazz
>valid
lol
Love is like jazz
You make it up as you go along
And you act as if you really know the song
But you don't and you never will
So you flaunt your mistakes and you make them until...
>>65797936
I think op was referencing the fact that people just see it as some sounds to get stoned to and nothing else
>>65798894
"Why did it have to be Bowie? Why couldn't it have been Justin Bieber or Kanye? Ugh, all the REAL musicians are dying, and all these trash people are popular now. David Bowie was so innovative and such a creative genius, I always listened to him! Anyways, here's my favourite song of his, to showcase his musical greatness, RIP:"

>implying Death at the Opera wasn't a masterpiece

Going off of this...
>people who say they hate rap, but it's obvious that they only hate rap because they force themselves to hate rap
>>65798203
>implying Queen was bad
I fucking hate this meme
>>65798203
Queen's 3 most popular songs are their worst. They're the exact opposite of a singles band.
>soundgarden, alice in chains, and pearl jam are better than nirvana
>>65797908
>OH MAN THIS IS HEAVY
>IT'S GOT GUITAR DISTORTION AND SAD VOCALS
>>65806195
Pearl Jam is shit, but the rest is debatable.
>>65805873
>You make it up as you go along
>And you act as if you really know the song
>But you don't and you never will
>So you flaunt your mistakes and you make them until...
This. Sometimes listening to Charlie Parker, it's like he's just sneezing into his saxophone. Like, get a job you junkie fag.
>>65806186
Death on Two Legs is seriously my favorite Queen song. Bohemian Rhapsody from the same album overshadowed it in the public's eye though.
>>65800721
>success = genius
lmao
>3 classic albums
LMAO
>>65806248
Personal taste aside, it's pretty understandable that Bohemian Rhapsody is widely considered their best tho. The scale and ambitiousness of Bohemian Rhapsody was pretty spectacular for Queen and popular rock music in general. It's like their Good Vibrations.
>>65805801
no they dont, they dont even know what the word "production" means
>>65805636
>There's really nothing special about a rapper "brave enough to show his soft side".
You've been listening to too much Drake.
>>65805938
Unless it's this Avici.
>>65798065
bait
>>65799226
I actually had a girl tell me she listened to everything except country and 70s.
>>65808646
>listening to the 80s
>>65798065
If you're talking about stage performances, then I agree with you, at least typically. If all the person has to do is hit a few buttons and maybe slide a few sliders, it's way easier.
>>65805872
So? Country is a shitshow as a genre, we should lift up the few musicians that have done it right
I hate the Arctic monkeys new stuff but I love their old stuff
>>65805873
>>65806235
I disagree. I don't think most people realize how much work it takes to master an instrument to the point where you can improvise over a set of changes and have it sound even decent.
Some jazz does sound like random nonsense, but big band especially has coherent sections with melodies, and maybe some improv here and there.
>>65799226
>normies understanding Van Zandt
>people shrugging off a genre that theyve never listened to because everyone else shrugs it off, like country
Alt-Country is the fucking comfiest music to feel depressed and sad to but if you ever try to mention it to other people they just think of cowboys, farms, old boots, and new dirt
