Is this how bad the board has gotten?
shitty stories about you guys dropping spaghetti
looks like /r9k/ has found us
>>66282914
these threads have been going on for years you knobhead
>>66282914
This is a decent thread compared to most of the shit going on
>>66282914
Don't want no good for nothing robots on muh board. And really, all these stories are only about normies not understanding your music. Normies not getting music shouldn't be new for /mu/tants, so whats the deal? Just say something like, yeah I know 'insert hipster band here' is a little wierd, but I like them because of 'insert artistic expression here'.
>>66282257
>Not just using the official alt cover to avoid this shit ever happening
Come on man
I used to work with a guy who only listened to music from or associated with video games and Daft Punk.
That's it.
For example, this band came out and he thought it was the finest music to ever grace the earth, and would regularly update me on their new stuff, even though I didn't really care.
>pic related
>>66284190
I mean, some vidiya OST's are really, really good. Why you got to hate on his taste.
>>66284473
I'm not him, but I think there is nothing wrong with enjoying vidya osts, but there is something wrong with it if you say it is the greatest music ever, and aren't up to date on modern classics like, I don't know, My Bloody Valentine, Joy Division, Death Grips, Neutral Milk Hotel, etc etc
>>66285313
Silent Hill and Transistor,
>>66285313
>My Bloody Valentine
reminds me of the time I tried listening to Loveless. I was tired af and didn't know I had the track-repeat function enabled. Took me about 30 minutes to realize I'd been playing the first song on loop this whole time.
>>66285422
Haha that's pretty funny. You probably were reeaaally tired then. Did you still like it anyway?
>>66285477
This was a couple of years ago and I still haven't listened to the rest of it so idk
>>66284082
an anon made this and then he lost it, another guy helped him recover it. good stuff, I use it for myself now.
>>66282712
laughed hard.
>>66280633
>what's the album called
This is how I can tell it's fake. Plebs don't care about albums. She would have asked what song it was.
>>66284082
I use this

>>66287184
o shit I got rekt
I was playing Sufjan Stevens' Illinois in class once and I had Chicago playing for a good minute before someone tapped me on the shoulder and the whole class was staring. They could all hear it.
>>66281753
This
>>66282257
Oh shit everytime i get to that album i dim my phone so no one can see it. I need to get the censored one
>>66287280
Why is that socially autistic. Maybe they even enjoyed it
>>66287322
It was really loud. A few people came up to me afterwards and asked me if I wasn't damaging my eardrums. Also it's happened a few times.
>>66287295
But the thing is, you don't have to lie, you can seem a lot more normal by explaining why the album is callled like that, or by saying something else that implies that you actually don't think that public castration is a good idea.
>>66287374
Why are you responding to me rather than >>66281753?
>girl
>asking for album name
yeah, sure.
>>66287550
Because your post was moore recent I guess...?

At least he has an excuse, he didn't even want to be at the party.

People lie all the time to get ahead. There is no positive to come from sperging on someone.
>>66281381
I lolld
>>66287906
Getting ahead is not as important as society makes it out to be. All these high expectations are bondage to the free souls, love and authenticity are more importatn :^)

One time during high school in the middle of a test I mistakenly realized I was blasting John Coltrane's A Love Supreme, and it was embarrassing when old teach came up to me and took my phone.

>>66280633
a few years ago i was in an Accounting class. first year of college. my step-bro gave me his old phone and i forgot to put it on silent or change the ringtone. he likes nu-metal. in the middle of the teacher talking this song starts playing
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpUYjpKg9KY
i take my phone out, frantically trying to hang up. teacher gave me a weird look. i just got up and walked out lol

>>66281753
the trick is to stay in touch within the normal sphere of interests and behaviors enough so you can still make connections with people.
>>66280633
nobody ever asks me what I'm listening to so I can't tell.
>high school
>me and a friend are talking about music when he suddenly goes:
>"you know what music I can't stand?" (my favorite genre)"
>raise my arms and shout "WOW, GO FUCK YOURSELF, FAGGOT" in a sarcastic way
>whole class notices
The rest of the year was random people coming up to me and telling me (genre) was shit, to which I always replied "WOW, GO FUCK YOURSELF, FAGGOT". We all laughed.
I became a living meme, but it wasn't that bad.
>>66289585
WOW, GO FUCK YOURSELF, FAGGOT
>>66289585

>>66290014
Don't tell me these artist aren't very forward thinking and influencual
>>66290121
>NMH
>>66290121
idk
It just strikes me as weird every time I come to /mu/ and they proclaim a certain artist is the best thing ever and is a modern classic.
I just listen to stuff and if I like the way it sounds I like it and if I don't I don't.
[spoiler]The only thing that actually annoys me is 20 something males with acoustic guitars, I can enjoy some of it but not when every other thing is one, they're very overrated[/spoiler]
>>66282584
AHHH FRANKIE SINATRA
>>66280633
I usually talk about random facts about the artist, not to obscure, just some did you know? stuff, you might think that's a good thing and shows you take interest in music, but what it really means is your are a NERD LOL LET'S GO BACK TO GOSSIP AND TALKING ABOUT THAT GIRLS ASS.
I hate being millennial.
>>66290374
but it really does mean that you're a nerd
just let go of your intellect
>>66290215
I'm not saying they're the best thing ever, after all, music is subjective. All I'm saying is that they are very influentual and important. I think that if you are serious about music, you should at least understand why these artists are as famous as they are, what has made them so important. You don't even have to like them, you could treat listening to them as a study.
But yeah, if you aren't serious about music then all of that doesn't really matter. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and taste, wether that opinion or taste is really shitty or not.

Just try to find different people, every generation has shitty people, probably because shitty people still reproduce.
>>66290421

hell no it's not
music =/= musical tastes

KEK

>>66291815
So what if his name is Aubrey?
>>66291793
exactly what albini would've wanted to happen to you for using an ipod
>>66281296
He would've produced under Champagne Papi, not Aubrey Graham. He writes under Aubrey Graham though
>>66280633
You should have just said something normie like Pink Floyd and she would have thought you were deep and quirky for listening to your headphones in a social setting.

New Wave is good.
One time in high school I showed this "alternative" girl that I liked a song by Silencer.
We didn't talk too much after that.

The thing is, I thought I would score some points because of how edgy she would think I was.

He is, literally all of my IRL friends know who he is. I was actually gonna post that I once tried to convince one of my friends that Foo Fighters aren't grunge.
>>66281296
drake is actually kind of a good r'n'b artist mediocre rapper, but point is his music isn't straight up rap but r'n'b-hip hop.
also /mu/ needs to chill with all the hate on the music insdustry...
>>66289719
