So I just finished reading Scaruffi's analysis of the Beatles in its entirety (not just "the fact that"), and I'm left wondering if this guy is trolling or if he's actually believes anything he's saying.
First off, I admit that he raises some valid points about their musicianship and some elements of their songwriting, but most of the time when he's analyzing their success and acclaim he's just dead wrong - factually wrong. Like he's literally pulling sentences out of his ass and stating them as something that's universally obvious. Here are some examples:
>Contemporary musicians never spoke highly of the Beatles
>.... it had no technical innovations, it had no creative depth
Those are two right off the bat. The first is just a plain lie, and the second, though based more in personal taste, is still willfully ignorant, especially where technological innovation is concerned. Even a fierce critic of the Beatles must concede that their psychedelic work was technologically groundbreaking, or at the very least popularized state-of-the art techniques - regardless of what they may think of the music itself.
Scaruffi also embarrassingly downplays the Beatles' influence on popular music and other musicians to the point where he might as well be writing an alternate history story. He acts like such a well-versed expert, and he certainly knows his music history and can present a good critique, but on this issue he barely has any clue.
I still wonder why /mu/ thinks so highly of Scaruffi.
he's an autistic full-of-himself wannabe-intellectual asshole wanker.

Classical music is the only legitimate form of music. Despite the countless posts and articles claiming "Classical music is dead" - written exclusively by people who don't listen to it, might I add - it remains the only artistic, boundary pushing artform. Every single "innovation" - EVERY SINGLE ONE - claimed by popular music was done first in classical music.
So why would people say classical music is dead? Really, they mean it isn't marketable anymore. The people who say it is dead are just pointing out that you don't see classical music on Pitchfork anymore, unless it is heavily marketed or commercialized a la Reich, Riley, or Richter. But this is precisely the reason why classical music is not dead and popular music is dead.
Classical music has finally been entirely torn away from the grip of systems of patronage and commercialism. It doesn't matter if you make Serialism or Minimalism, Spectralism or Neoromanticism: if your voice is original and your pieces quality, you will succeed. It's finally environment for the exploration of all qualities of music.
Popular music wishes to have the diversity that classical music has. It's unfortunate that its base of musicians and fans are entirely ignorant.
And literature is the only legitimate form of art.

Nah, literature, visual art, and classical music.

Is Rock dead?
If so, who killed it?
cobain
yeah. rock used to be badass but these new rockers are pussies
>>62470596
the general populace killed it. The only reason rock is in a global crisis is because somewhere along the lines, it became uncool to listen to rock.
