Anyone else find it weird how dogmatic and moralistic tunebrains are? I mean this seriously. The person who is into music above all other things, or at least the archetypal aficionado of music in the Anglophone West, is a very intolerant sort of character. One only has to browse /mu/ to see this—or one of the many ancient BBS web forums dedicated to shitty alt rock bands or drums or whateverthefuck. Look at how the inhabitants of these meeting places tear each other to bits! They put on airs about being such “chilled out” people while having the personalities of Spanish inquisitors. I guess that’s what happens when your whole pattern of ‘thinking’ consists solely of being thrown into ecstasies by random bursts of noise—noise only imbued with ‘meaning’ by some fevered miscalculation of the primate brain. For the music enthusiast, a thing’s quality is synonymous with the superficial pleasure it brings; if something tickles their ears it is good (a lowly and sensual faculty, like eating: it’s no coincidence that only chefs and ‘foodies’ outrank ‘musos’ in belligerence). Their beliefs are determined by gut feeling. They do not question first impressions. You should honestly be careful around ‘fans’ of ‘music’. Who knows what secrets their pianos whisper to them in the night, what odd and disturbed ideas seep into their barely sentient minds from their Sennheiser headphones?

This, plus they have a serious aversion to in depth analysis akin to literary analysis
I think /mu/ encapsulates the self-immolating culture of ideological irony that has left such a scar on young people of today. Sad desu

I think it’s just fine, /mu/core is a pretty original idea of what good music is.
It’s an amazing starting point if you want to explore different genres, most of the popular albums on the board are fairly exciting when listening to them for the first time.

It’s obviously not a good board if you like serious discussion, good songwriting, lyrics, and artists that take themselves and their music very seriously, though.

i dont really browse /mu/ much but the average person there is much more well versed in music than your random person off the street.

/mu/ is decent and much better than other music communities. music is inherently very difficult to discuss since its an artform with much more stake dedicated to personal attachment compared to others. a lot of people on there do get very caught up in trying to get music down to a science though which is a bit concerning. regardless, it's a fun place to discover music every now and then granted you can wade through the countless hip-hop and kpop posts.

At least they actually listen to the music they're talking about. At least their threads are actually relevant to music. This place is just a hive of fart-sniffing.

>Implying streaming isn't the dawn of a new age for music
20 years ago you couldn't listen to a random band from some flyover state with one self produced EP unless you managed to stumble on one of the few copies they printed.

Now you can listen to literally anybody and anybody can publish their music online.

But only a handful of artists are seeing any sort of profit from streaming. Sure, it's expanded the horizons of the consumer but it has vastly limited the earning potential of the artist. You have to be in the top 0.001% of musicians on Spotify for streaming to be a worthwhile commercial endeavor for you. Not to mention the homogenizing effect that streaming has had on the music industry. Streaming discourages experimentation, favoring formula instead in order to maximize streaming revenues. Before, somebody would buy a CD or a record and even if they didn't like it, the artist would still earn some sort of money from it. Now, a listener might decide after thirty seconds of one song that a band is not worth listening to and go back to the curated Spotify playlists that reward an increasingly homogeneous sonic aesthetic.

I agree, somewhat. My point was more that as long as the profit motive behind music stays in place, musical creativity will continue to diminish. There was more stylistic wiggle room for artists when vinyl and CDs were the main methods of transmission but now that the industry has figured out how to maximize its own gain and minimize the gain of the artist, musicians are less likely to experiment and more likely to churn out tunes that will get streamed. Streaming encourages conservatism.

Only in terms of commercial music, but that shit literally does not matter.

People who want to make music now have the ability to broadcast it themselves at no cost, any music that was worth making for its ow sake is still going to be out there to be found. Even music from 20 years ago that got completely buried in the back of record stores forgotten by all is finding new audiences now.
