you have 30 seconds to explain why you enjoy metal
IT'S NOT ABOUT ENJOYING IT'S ABOUT UNDERSTANDING THE HUMAN NATURE AS METAL PRESENTS WHICH IS VISCERAL, HUMANE AND HONEST. IT'S NOT ABOUT THINKING IT'S GOOD, IT'S ABOUT AN IDEAL THAT YOU HOLD DEEP INSIDE YOUR HEART.
because it's good
no other music makes my fat ass feel like a viking
2003? 2006?
i wanna do an immersion into modern music released before the pitchfork dictatorship
I'd say like 1999 or before or something
in the 90s, you had grunge boybands on MTV 24/7

Why /mu/ like My Bloody Valentine?
I listened to the whole discography and I cant understand

fucking goths always being emotional

Aren't you funny OP
>>60475127
OP, I think you're trying to refer to Bullet For My Valentine, judging by the pic.
I've got less than 15 GBs left on my hard drive, and I can download that much music on a good weekend. I noticed that I still have all the .zip files from when I got stuff from the archive instead of soulseek, so a good sized chunk of my music is taking up twice as much space as it should. Should I hang on to the zips as backups and just cool down on music until I can get a new drive for Christmas, or should I say fuck it and clear up space now?
give me one good reason to keep the zip files.
Get rid of the zips you spoonfed retard.
Clear it up, you don't need a backup anyway
Has music become that fantastic in 2015?
Or just Pitchforks standards lower?
Some years ago the average rating was about 6.2.
Now look at the ratings for today (Nov 19): 8.0, 7.8, 8.2, 7.2, 7.2.
Im not saying that they are unjustified - i never heard those (rather unknown) albums, and i probably never will.
But, again, what is up with that rating hyperinflation?

they are basically entry level criticism. they can't lower the average or they'll lose their mainstream status.
also no one should care about this shit

Has there even been a bigger scumbag in music?
not a scumbag but he's overrated as a musician.
his persona definitely gets in the way of people objectively looking at his songs.
He's the Robert Downey Jr of music

Wayne Coyne is exactly the fucking same, I have a feeling that all artists who go for this "wow they're such a cool and great guy :)" image are either cunts to begin with or think that mo matter what they do to the people around them they'll be regarded as good people by the public no matter what

What's the proper thing to do when a friend shows you music and you hate it? My good buddy played some Twenty One Pilots for me the other day, I had never heard their music before and I just ripped into it. Afterwards I felt pretty guilty though, my friend doesn't have the best self-esteem and I didn't want to hurt his feelings. It was just awful though. What do you do?
"this is alright man, not really my thing tho"
pretty easy dude
>>60474996
But do you feel there's a point where you need to step in and explain how shitty something is? My friend doesn't listen to much music besides butt rock and metal, lately I've been trying to get him into more stuff but then he went and found twenty one pilots on reddit or something. I don't know, I felt like I had to save him before he embarrassed himself.

just ask yourself if you would rather have friends at all or be an ass about music
Why do so many people hate this album outside of /mu/ ?
It's so good, the melodies are the comfyest thing ever created by man
>this guys voice is weird anon, can I change it?
easily the most overrated hipster garbage album
>>60474833
Agree. I'm being honest when I say that people who don't like that album has bad taste. I'm usually open minded about music, and I believe there is no good or bad taste, but shit ITAOTS is goat. browsed mo for about 4 years now but itaots has a special place
Swans are a gateway band of the worst kind. They're a bad group. a clusterfuck of shitty lyrics and repetitive song structures that isn't very well done by any aspect, but which attempts to compensate for its weaknesses by adding in excessive edginess and DARKNESS. The normal anon can see this as the shit it is, and may enjoy it, hate it or be indifferent to it, but all the while recognizing that the music itself, regardless of their opinion, is plain bad.
However, these very aspects that try to smear over the shit of its core make it a breeding ground for aspie, unsociable underageb& faggots who engage in every kind of faggotry both online and in the real world. The 20 minute songs all trying their hardest to sound deep, the themes, edgy lyrics, pompous song writing, the whole post-rock faggotry and everything about Swans fuels their escapist fantasies, while the 2deep4u albums, emphasis on revenge, SEX, GOD, RAPE etc. and overall preachiness of the band make it fit just right with the fedora tipping drives of your average preteen and his sense of unwarranted self-importance towards the world. Exactly the kind of shit that makes little kiddies and underageb& retards eat this shit right the fuck up.
Swans is basically THE band to attract the most hated fanbase known to /mu/. which is why, regardless of individual opinions, it is the responsibility of every anon to troll the fuck out of this band and everyone who likes it, and ensure that no Swans threads ever encourage the newfriends to show their faces here.
I'd argue Swans turned marketing into the essence of their art. All great phenomena of popular music, from David Bowie to Joy Division, had been, first and foremost, marketing phenomena, however, Swans turned that into an art of its own. With Swans the science of marketing becomes art; art and marketing become one. Swans was, in many ways, the band that would be the heir of it, no matter how perverted, of Ian Curtis's nopop art and of the underground culture of the 1970s. They adopted some of the most blaspheme issues and turned them upside down to make them precisely what they had been designed to fight: a commodity. Swans were a protagonist of their times, although a poor musician: to say that Gira is a musician is like saying that Nero was a harp player (a fact that is technically true, but misleading). Swans embodies the quintessence of artificial art, raises futulity to paradigm, focuses on the phenomenon rather than the content, makes irrelevant the relevant, and, thus, is the epitome of everything that went wrong with rock music. Each element of their art is the emblem of a true artistic movement however, the ensemble of those emblems constitutes no more than a puzzle, no matter how intriguing, of symbols, a roll of incoherent images projected against the wall at twice the speed, a dictionary of terms rather than a poem, and, in the best of hypotheses, a documentary of the cultural fads of their era. Reading the chronicles of their times, it is clear that what causes sensation is the show, not the music. The show that Gira set up was undoubtedly in sync with the avantgarde, as it fused theater, mime, cinema, visual art, literature and music. However, Swans merely recycled what had been going on for years in the Meme underground, in particular what had been popularized by the nowave bands of of 1982. And their turned it into a commodity: whichever way you look at their oeuvre, this is the real merit of it.
