>I'm too stupid to learn theory
>>66116578
yeah bro music theory only limits your creativity. can't wait to hear your ambient noise shoegaze bedroom pop project #443298312894216 on bandcamp. fuck scales amirite

you can have a phD in music theory and still produce shit so negligible points whatever points you two were trying to make
simply knowing which notes are in a key or mode hardly constitutes knowledge of music theory, there's way more to it than that
>>66116578
(not true, by the way)
>>66116578
Not a single good musician today lacks theory knowledge. They may say they do to look like an inspirational story of triumph and passion, but they are liars.
>>66116732
so you're telling me bands like AnCo, Sonic Youth, Deerhunter, Microphones, MBV, Pavement all have advanced theory knowledge? c'mon now
>>66116829
No, but they've definitely had lessons and could use basic music terminology. 95% of /mu/ couldn't tell you what a time signature is.
>>66116732
i'm sure basically every competent musician knows how to build scales and chords in any key of their instrument (which is something you can learn in like a day), but i doubt most musicians nowadays know anything beyond that.
>>66116857
lol thats sad if true, neither can Grimes apparently
