I like how /mu/ is so contrarian they have gone full circle and just listen to mainstream shit.
>>64649743
That happened a while ago desu
>just listen to mainstream shit.
for example?
>>64649768
Kanye, Young Thug, Radiohead, Grimes, Taylor, Deftones
While quite a bit of stuff on here is pretty mainstream I still think a lot of people overestimate how popular some things are.
>>64649792
But I'm /mu/ and I don't listen to any of that.
>>64649792
>Taylor
I really don't see her discussed here bot otherwise all of those have put out albums within the last year or excluding grimes have all put or are putting out albums this year.
i.e. we're talking about new stuff. If you have something more obscure/better from this year then by all means contribute particularly in an album of the year thread.
>>64649768
Arctic Monkeys, Weezer
>>64649792
Radiohead has been /mu/core since forever tho
>>64649856
again weezer just put something out and if arctic monkeys is being discussed then I must have hidden the thread not that I'm familiar with them at all anyways.
>>64649743
>walks in thread
>stands on soapbox
Well ahem
MAYBEE, if you just noticed that we're a large board then that would explain it!
>scurries off
>>64649878
*drops mike*
>>64649743
/mu/ is ironic af desu
>>64649768
Odd Future, Drake
Anybody who doesn't sincerely enjoy any sort of "mainstream" music is kidding themselves
>>64649896
I never see Odd Future discussed but I do see members albums discussed.
and again Drake is brand new.
point being that what may be seen as a preference in discussing mainstream music is just a preference in new music which by default is sometimes mainstream
>>64649798
Like What?
>>64649743
hating on poptimists got stale so now we have to hate on poseurs
>>64650299
People act as if Grimes and Tame Impala are household names and are on the same level as Taylor Swift and other similar artists when I'm pretty sure this isn't the case. Yeah, they're popular enough but there's a difference between being popular and being what Taylor Swift is. A lot of people on here don't think of popularity as a spectrum and more of a binary thing where at a certain degree of recognition you're shifted into the other category.
>>64650356
This. Stuff like Grimes, Death Grips, even Radiohead I have to really ask around for anyone who knows them
Or maybe it's because I live on a fucking island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and reggae and RnB is the only thing others listen to here
>>64649906
Wrong, I don't consider my taste highbrow or anything but I can honestly say top 40 stuff doesn't interest me in the slightest
>>64650424
even radiohead? those guys are incredibly mainstream, even my mom listens to them
>>64650424
almost 25 years ago Creep was a huge hit but otherwise yeah except for anyone between about ages 20-40 I'd be surprised if they didnt know them
>>64649743
I wouldn't even mind that it's mainstream as 90% of the stuff has been mainstream since 2010 but it's that they listen to pure radio muzak now without even attempting to listen to music.
>>64650424
Polynesian?
But then all the non-mainstream stuff isn't very good here either so whats it really matter?
friendly reminder that there's no /mu/ hivemind and you're delusional :~)
yesterday at my trial I actually explained to the bailiff who radiohead was when he was talking to the clerk about the acl lineup.
>>64650567
Why do you, I, The Witchfinder, Grayblob, Vargy and Masha Scream still post here; 99% of this board don't remember when you were relevant and the other 1% don't care about you you're like 30 and still post on a board with a mean age of 16.
>>64650648
Boredom, habit, new music.
I don't and really doubt the others give a fuck whether we are ''relevant, remembered or cared about''.
I found out about 2 new albums that totally bypassed my radar yesterday and that makes the board worth having as one of the music sites I check.
>>64650973
>I found out about 2 new albums that totally bypassed my radar
which ones?
>>64650990
James Blake and pic related
>>64651009
oh cool that elysian fields didn't come up at all for me either
>>64649792
but radiohead have pretty much been mu's favourite band forever
>>64649906
objectively wrong
No I don't
>>64649906
What qualifies as mainstream? I'm fucking pumped for new Radiohead, but I haven't heard a song on a top 40 radio station that I enjoyed in years.
>>64649743
I like how you're pointing out this, which began happening years ago, like it's news to anyone at all
>>64649878
*no one hear shit because there doing other things*
>>64649743
i like you
>>64649768
21 pilots
>>64649792
i never understood this...
