Do you think it is called "Exmilitary" because it is describing a character who was a former soldier, so then he is described to be an awful, mentally fucked up human being throughout the entire album? Like it reflects the band's possible beliefs of how the military changes your psychological state.
>>65742595
no there are no characters in death grips
>>65742615
Now that is deep my boy
>>65742595
>implying a mixtape would have an overarching concept
You're trying too hard anon
>>65742615
yeah, all that shit in No Love def happened
>>65742664
Why is it called Exmilitary then?
>>65742664
bruh if it were just a collection of songs they would have included everything on the EP
>>65742684
Why is any album/mixtape called what it is? I say again, you're trying too hard
>>65742686
I don't think you understand what a mixtape is, it's literally just a collection of track that aren't supposed to have any context to each other
>>65742731
I don't think YOU understand what a mixtape is. The only reason it's free is because it contains uncleared samples. There are clearly common themes between the songs.
>>65742731
Because it is supposed to relate to the album, and to give it ambiguity to interpretation. Do you think they name albums without any reason?
>>65742731
sorry bruh >>65742761 is right
>>65742823
Oh course they don't name albums without any reason, why does this particular name make this a concept album?
>>65742761
Ok, I'll admit I was wrong, I should really look up stuff before I talk about it. However common themes between songs doesn't not automatically make it about 1 character
>>65742885
>common themes between songs doesn't not automatically make it about 1 character
I'm not the guy who said that and I agree, I think it's more about Ride personifying the excess he describes than it is about crafting a narrative
>>65742957
no u
>>65742666
they said it themselves that nobody is playing a character in an interview
>>65742666
>implying everything is either a true story of a character
>>65743077
yeah, he definitely kills people just the way he describes in his songs
>>65743115
I have no idea what you mean by this
>>65743152
shut up dummy
>>65743152
Are you actually retarded
Just because ride talks about shit that didn't happen doesn't mean he's playing a character
>>65742957
stop
>>65743180
Yes it does.
>>65743166
no u
>>65743180
what does it mean then?
>>65743180
Lol what?
this is honestly one of the dumbest threads i've seen on /mu/ in a while.
songs aren't just true stories or characters and nothing else. they can be metaphors, allusions or just meant to evoke of feeling of some sort.
mixtapes are not a loose collection of songs with no context. i don't know why anyone would think this.
obviously it's named exmilitary for some reason. maybe there's a story behind it, maybe not but i don't think there's any characters on the album.
>>65743475
Okay, but do you think it is to describe the behaviour and psychology of a former soldier, hence why it is called, "Exmilitary"?
>>65743475
>they can be metaphors, allusions or just meant to evoke of feeling of some sort
yes, and if they're told through a first person perspective and are entirely fictional, then the person he claims to be is not necessarily Stefan Burnett as he is in real life, but rather an exaggeration or "character" if you will
>>65743588
Isn't that the point of characters in literature, to be manifestations of metaphors that are prevalent in our world today?
>>65743670
now you're getting it
>>65743675
So I was right about the character thing then?
>>65743675
How is this thread dumb then?
>>65743761
i raped your mother and buried her in my backyard
>>65743761
I'm not >>65743475
>>65743907
I know, but why they find what I said wrong?
