Would you agree with this, /lit/?

[Anonymous No.2018422]

ehhh, /lit/ has a lot of niche books.

[Anonymous No.2018424]

doesn't /v/ like stalker

[Anonymous No.2018427]

>Would you agree with this /lit/?
No. /lit/ doesn't agree on nearly anything. That's like the point

[Anonymous No.2018428]

I would not because comparing anything to the absurdity of a board committed to music unironically enjoying Neutral Milk Hotel is disgraceful.

[Anonymous No.2018439]

i always thought that they dont really like the band?

/lit/ also has a hard on for Lolita, Thomas Pynchon, and James Joyce.

ITAOTS is an excellent album. It's universally accepted as a classic, it's objectively good.

Regardless, that shit sucks and everybody knows it. "Universally accepted"? The music world is slightly larger than Pitchfork and Blender

[Anonymous No.2018466]

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is about as literary as any FPS will ever be. Along with all the source material it uses, I think there's something deeply emotional behind the game, especially given that most of the people who developed it were probably old enough to wake up and read the newspaper the day the explosion happen in '86

Which reminds me,we haven't discussed it in a while.

You're fucking stupid. Are you one of those kids who go to Pitchfork every day, check for "best new music", and listen to everything they tell you to listen? Grow up, child, you still haven't developed a personality for yourself, and probably never will. If I knew you IRL, I'd kick the shit out of you, and then come back for more.

Pretty accurate, however you forgot about:

/a/ - K-On!/Railgun
/tv/ - Tarkovsky
/jp/ - Yume Miru Kusuri

[Anonymous No.2018486]

>>2018473

No, I just enjoy the album. I don't really like Pitchfork, they very often miss the mark.

I'm partial to folk music.

I'm pretty new to /lit/, so what's this "Infinite Jest" book? Is it good, or people are actually being ironic and making fun of it? (ie /mu/ with NMH)

/mu/core like ITAOTS doesn't mean music that everyone on /mu/ thinks is good - it's music that's heavily discussed and everyone has a strong opinion on it
not everyone on /mu/ likes ITAOTS, ITCOTCK, and MBDTF
not everyone on /lit/ likes Infinite Jest
but they're all discussed frequently
not sure about /v/, but the comparison between ITAOTS and Infinite Jest is sound

[Anonymous No.2018505]

>>2018475

No.

I don't listen to hipster trash but I hate how Generation Y can't properly synthesize indie music. You represent everything the music originally rebelled against.

[Anonymous No.2018513]

too bad you cant properly synthesize a post gramps

cool, you make generalizations without having listened to the music. you're no better than the people you're complaining about.

What?
And why don't you tell me? Is "Infinity Jest" hipster garbage or?

[Anonymous No.2018521]

>>2018515
It doesn't mean it's necessarily literally trash. It's how people generally refer to it on /mu/, and on the internet. It's pretty much kind of a genre name now.

I'm tired of you pretentious Pitchfork reading retards going on about how Surfer Rosa is better than Doolittle and how Avery Island is better than ITAOTS just to seem edgy. You have no real character, you're all just empty shells of men and women. You guys don't know shit, you dress like faggots and would have gotten your asses kicked if you showed up to a Pavement or Sebadoh concert in the 90's.

Fuck off and die, all of you. I'll burn Williamsburg to the fucking ground.

[Anonymous No.2018523]

>>2018521

either way the implication from the rest of the post, not just the "hipster trash" part, is that it is bad. and that's still a generalization.

You think music is cool, you think your so, yeah! Remember when people used to actually play music to feel it. You have no real character, you're all just empty shell living off other peoples music. You probably own a player piano just to show off your ability to play the piano. hurp durp.

[Anonymous No.2018537]

I'm a fucking writer, I don't have time to write shitty songs. But I can playthe piano, guitar,bass and drums. I have similar feelings about post-modernists and Tao Lin fans. Generation Y sucks, late capitalism has eaten your souls but you're all too fucking lazy to give a fuck about Marxism or seek a real solution.

Fuck off, faggot.

I have not the time to write shitty song, busy writing shitty book. You read books, you have no real character, you're all just empty shell living off the ideas of Marx and Engels. Wouldn't socialism be the emptiest form of economics?

While I think >>2018473 is a retard I must also admit to getting tired of the hipster aesthetic and unoriginality associated with the subculture.

The only people who don't like ITAOTS are those who listen to metal, because they lack a heart to appreciate it, and think quality is measured by the number of notes per second.
