/lit/ - Literature

Seems like nice ambience to me. What’s the issue?

>>18558287
Isn't this just Harry Potter.

>>18558287
holy shit.

>>18558304
bro, it says dark academia in the title
ok??????

>>18558307
Didididin dundunduun

>>18558307

>>18558307
I listened to this one

>>18558307

>>18558287
Zoomers larping in a cultureless globohomo society.

>>18558287
They're just teenagers getting way into an "aesthetic" they'll forget about within a year. Why do you even care, OP? Why the obsession?

>>18558287
If this is how zoomies want to get into classical music then fine by me. I got drawn into classical music as a teenager by watching OMGSOHARD synthesia videos of challenging piano pieces.

>>18558287
>NOOO THEY AREN'T APPRECIATING THE CLASSICS LIKE I DO NOOOO DON'T READ THAT DON'T LISTEN TO THAT MUSIC ITS FOR ME ONLY REEEEEEEEEEEEEE

REEEEE OTHER PEOPLE DOING THINGS THAT I CAN IGNORE REEEEEEEEEEE IM SO MAD THEY MUST BE MENTALLY ILL

>>18558447
This.

The channels that create these playlists are obvious content farms run for profit, and people listening to them are probably casual internet surfers that are getting their first taste of classical music or aesthetics. You’d probably shit your pants with anger if you saw 60s hippies or 90s goth kids enjoying their lives.

>>18558473
Imagine larping this hard that you get mad when Anon points out that the pretense is kinda cringe

>>18558287
I looked up the first video and it's actually quite a nice selection of music.
If it makes them listen to good music, then let them larp.

>>18558505
thats not what they pointed out though. They said that 'dark academia' playlist creators have mental illness, which is an unverifiable claim. Read before posting next time.

>>18558549
>which is an unverifiable claim.
oh no

>>18558460
Unfortunately it was /mu/‘s /classical/ that got me into classical

>>18558497
>You’d probably shit your pants with anger if you saw 60s hippies or 90s goth kids enjoying their lives.
no probably about it. i better not ever see that shit.

>>18558497

Those were trends, not larps. Those kids didn't dream about being 19th century villains holy kek.

Imagining yourself in a comfy setting is okay, but appropriating cultural imagery of the past for your mental dress-up party is detrimental to culture itself. These people don't realize that larping always ruins the object of the larp.

Also, if the current world is so shit that you can't resist the temptation of escapism, which is understandable, then do something to make this world better, you stupid useless whore. (Not you, anon, I'm addressing the average person who is into this fake shit).

>>18558580
>appropriating cultural imagery of the past
What the fuck are you on about, anon? Did you hit your fucking head? You're spazzing out over teenagers.
>These people don't realize that larping always ruins the object of the larp.
What fucking object? A long-dead, grossly over-romanticised idea of boarding school?
>do something to make this world better, you stupid useless whore
The infantile clichéd urging of a complete faggot.

>>18558287
It's kind of cringe but I actually found a piece I've never heard before accidentally listening to one of those.

>>18558460
I got into classical music by being an arrogant, pretentious asshole looking for ways to be better than other people. Now I unironically only listen to Beethoven, Haydn, Chopin, and Rachmaninov. Any recs?

I'm not trolling this is actually true

>>18558460
>>18558508
>>18558628
The undenied fact that you can find good music doesn't change the fact that the larp is cringe.

>>18558287
>dark academia

>>18558638
I like instrumental music too, and better if complex, but I hate the grandeur and pomposity of classical music. I need more peaceful or down-to-earth things.

>>18558638
Mahler desu, especially his Ruckert-Lieder and Symphonies 2,5,8,9. Also Brahms but start with his violin concerto and go from there. Tchaikovsky and Glazunov for Russians, R.Strauss and Mendelssohn for Krauts plus others mentioned. Debussy and (some) Ravel for French. Sibelius has some good stuff.

>>18558675
Teenagers have always done cringe shit. The really pathetic thing to do as an adult would be to get upset over it, and then use it to declare your own superiority of fucking kids.

>>18558307
I liked this one

>>18558710
Why so angry? Can't anons discuss a trendy phenomenon on their favorite imageboard?

>>18558728
No.

>>18558733
Ok

>>18558318
KEK

>This playlist will make you feel like a twink hack who shills his garbage Amazon create space novellas on YouTube

>This playlist will continue to stoke your delusions of being anything other than a pathetic cargo cult imitation of intellectualism with only the conspicuous outward markers retained and any intellectual rigor long lost

Goth kids did specifically that, and new age types held drug sessions where they imagined themselves as shamans or something. As a matter of fact, the word ‘larp’ itself has been popularised by 80s subculture (not sure about other countries, but in my country it was originally mostly associated with Tolkien nerds). And historical reenactment has existed as long as history itself did, probably. You could claim that these people didn’t literally imagine themselves in a historical or fantasy setting and just dressed up as an entertainment, but can’t the same be said about kids listening to these YouTube compilations?
> appropriating cultural imagery of the past
Ironically, this is exactly what XIX century romanticism was.

>>18558287
Alright bros, post what you listen to when you read.
Hard mode: no ambience, that shit's autistic.

>>18558781
>This playlist will make you feel like reading Donna Tart is in some way edifying or intellectual
the final level of sissy hypno

>>18558781
This guy gets it

>>18558795
Fair point overall, but I wouldn't compare this melancholic masturbation to a cultural appropriation done intelligently (Tolkien or romanticism).

>>18558497
The guy that runs that villain something something is a pretentious zoomer. I like the playlist but I remember him posting a poll on what platform to use in order to gather intelligent people and whatnot. Discord won and he was eager for it, which signals that he is either a zoomer or a pedophile.

I'd like to study in a library like that. The internet has truly demystified the world, it's so boring these days

>>18558287
check em

>>18558710
Pretty much this.

>>18558460
I got into classical music by playing Drakengard
lmao

>>18558287
>STOP LIKING THINGS THAT I DONT LIKE

>>18558799
Sounds like you watch a lot of it

>>18558912
Yeah keep assuming I made this thread because I care about them and not just to have a chuckle with /lit/

>>18558958
not really, sissy hypno references are pretty pedestrian at this point
