ITT artists you liked until you found out about their beliefs.
Pic related for me.
The Knife
unless their beliefs heavily impact the music, you shouldn't do this
>>55259953
literally none
I still like varg too
>>55259953
What are their beliefs?
Also, it totally shouldn't matter.
That's why I try to stay away from anything about the artist. I just want to hear the music separate from anything else.
I know I'll think differently of the music if I find out something even if I actively try to ignore it, so I just stay away from any outside information.
>>55259953
What's wrong with Mormons?
>>55259953
>>55259997
What are their beliefs? I enjoy both a lot, but I haven't looked for any personal information on them.
>>55259997
What's wrong with their beliefs?
Any Riot-Grrrl band. Fuck feminism, seriously.
>>55260076
I hope this is bait.

Dubs decide what I'll ask him
>>55260085
Have you been here before?
>>55260068
>>55260048
They are Mormon rock.
>>55260103
men? yes
white? depends
privileged? haha no
>>55260127
What's your favorite color?
>not listing to anarcho-communist punk, nsbm, pagan metal, and Bach's Easter Mass
>>55260128
Yep, and /mu/ is by far one of the most liberal boards on this website.
>>55260134
You mean Low's members are Mormons and their beliefs have absolutely nothing to do with the music they make.
>>55260085
Maybe it isn't, cuck.
>>55260181
'Kay.
>>55260180
Are you retarded? Most of their music is directly influenced by Mormonism.
>>55260057
yeah their beliefs are dumb, but the ones Ive met are pretty nice.
>>55260227

>Low are Mormon
Well, this completely ruined my day. I knew that band was too good to be true.
>>55260180
we have an absurd amount of /pol/ shitposters and people who pretend to be SJW as bait
>>55260085
Of course it is, consider the thread's premise.
>>55260325
Anyone who supports feminism is either a landwhale, a woman who thinks being pretty entitles her to special treatment, or a cuckold male.
>Letting an artist's personal beliefs diminish your enjoyment of the art.
Are you people that closed-minded? I mean, I understand if you don't want to associate yourself with an artist if they are either bad or their art and beliefs coincide and you just don't agree.
Sufjan.
>>55260412
or a decent person
>>55260476
look guys we got a real patrician over here
>>55260553
There are no decent people in life, only people who are evil in acceptable ways.
>>55260530
what's he believe
>>55260601
I'm not the one judging art by the artists beliefs.
>>55260057
they circumcise eachother for fun while sucking on throbbin dong
>>55259953
Only plebs do this, OP. This thread is embarrassing. Lurk more.
Not as much his beliefs, more just the fact that he could be this stupid. http://pitchfork.com/news/46626-action-bronson-stupidly-posts-photo-of-drunk-mexican-tranny-rightly-gets-in-trouble/
>>55260639
What's wrong with that?
>>55260606
watch out, you might cut yourself on that edge
>>55260606
Don't cut yourself on that edge.
>>55260674
What's the problem?
>>55260606
*tips*
Beck's a Scientologist.
I'm just putting it out there.
>>55260674
Wow, I thought that was going to be a fake article based on the words in the link
>>55260606
this is true
Death Grips
I was furious after they released the album "niggas on the moon". There is only one black guy in the group, zach and flatlander are not "niggas"
as a black man this make me angry so I stopped listening to death grips, except for the money store because that album is still really good
>>55260798
most obvious bait of the day award goes to
>>55260798
Calm down, milo.
>>55260798
>I stopped listening to death grips, except for the money store because that album is still really good
Then you still listen to Death Grips, as Money Store is an album by Death Grips.
>>55260618
art doesn't exist in a vacuum, you pleb.
>>55260076
the genre is literally rooted in feminism, and yet you didn't find out about their beliefs until afterwards?
>mfw learnt that bjork is a coalburner
>>55260412
Do you expect to be taken seriously when you use the epic cuck meme?
>>55260854
The author is dead, if you're considering context in a serious way when considering any medium you're detracting from the piece itself and giving it more lee-way than it deserves.
>>55260854
No, but I'm not going to stop enjoying an artist's art because I disagree with their personal religion, politics, etc. Especially if it has little to no actual influence on their art.
>>55260674
>I want all of my rappers to be as sensitive ass as me
fuck outta here you pitchfork article posting queen
>>55260606
makes no difference, you're just messing about with semantics
>>55260919
>those awkward kids who're just starting to get into semiotics and take Barthes as gospel
Stop being you okay thanks.
>>55260103
lol this is the guy who wrote the article
>>55260227
you know how you can tell that isn't entirely accurate? because the listener doesn't feel like they're being browbeating into accepting some ideology. everyone's musical output will be influenced by their beliefs more or less, but the worst art is mere propaganda and i think low avoids that.
>>55259953
None because I'm not a braindead cunt
>>55260611
Christianity.
>>55260854
Think about it. This thread is about artists that you liked until you found about their beliefs. If this is something that happens then art can exist in a vacuum.
>>55261099
Here, you dropped your fedora, let me get that for you.
>>55260869
Goldie's a cool dude tho.

>you know how you can tell that isn't entirely accurate? because the listener doesn't feel like they're being browbeating into accepting some ideology.
Not that anon but being heavily influenced by and actively promoting aren't necessarily the same thing.
>>55261099
get over yourself
I strongly dislike christianity but Sufjan is fantastic and not annoying about it
>>55260103
Well they're non-bm Scandinavian musicians. What did you expect?
>>55261099
You'd have to avoid a shit-ton of Western music if you dislike a musician because he's Christian.
>>55261099
>>55261099
christian music is the best, though
>>55261156
Aren't most folk artists influenced by god or Christianity in the first place?
>>55261099
>bach_grin.jpg
Get a load of this objectively pleb anon.
>>55261148
i agree, but that anon was implying with his "mormon rock" comment that they were just promoting their beliefs.
>>55260750
>nobody knew this one
>>55261099
>>55261200
I wouldnt consider Sufjan a folk artist but nah I dont think so.

Shut up faggot autist.
>>55261381
Do Jews not believe in God?
>>55260606
>>55261407
muslims believe in god as well but usually I dont think of them as "christian"
>>55261381
>implying Dylan didn't convert to Christianity
>>55261381
Jews believe in God tho.
>>55261327
No, you're just a dumbass. Been here three years now and usually frequent folk threads specifically.
>>55261424
nevermind I cant read
>>55261429
He converted back ya dipshit.
>>55261424
I did say God or Christianity, didn't I? Maybe you should go back and read my original comment.
>>55261429
Even worse......
>>55260674
top kek at this story
The Knife seem like obnoxious tumblrites but Shaking the Habitual really is the only album where they are too obnoxious
>>55261424
>influenced by god or Christianity
>or
>or
>or
>or
>>55261462
Which is why he came out with a Christian album and his most recent album of his own songs had allusions to books found in the Bible but no other religious texts, right?
>>55261462
is this true
>>55260057
Right? I lived in Utah for a while and even though I'm generally Catholic every Mormon I've ever met was as nice as nice can be. Also Mormon moms are god tier cooks. I slept over at friends houses just to eat there.
>>55261455
wow buddy, you had to name call that anon, eh?
tuff
>>55261521
>Catholic
You're just as bad.
