>>53948221
Why do you do that with your hand every time you answer a question

who is this fluid druid?

>>53948310
Hate. That is what I meant

>>53948221
labeling music as indie is pointless

>>53948310
"slowly unsheathes zweihander"
i think you might want to take that back, sir

>>53948310
>>53948357
I'd bate that normie, if you know what I mean

why the fuck do you judge someone based on their music interests

seriously what the fuck

you can literally discern any personality with any artist; only retards think their music tastes represent themselves

>>53948309
Actually a pretty great philosopher. He had a pretty cool theory about landfills and how humans treat their environment

OK.

>>53948399
He also has a dope lisp.

>>53948392
I don't judge people based on what they like to listen to in general, but most of the time it isn't that simple

Most of the time everybody judges everybody else based on their taste in music. Most of the time people with extremely narrow taste in music will say things like "That music is weird, you're weird", or "You're such a hipster xd", or "You have such bad taste lmaoooo", even when they know nothing of music. Of course I'm going to judge them. If someone is pretending that their taste is amazing and they listen to Chvrches and or whatever, then I don't feel bad about it

It doesn't really have anything to do with taste representing who you are

>>53948514
Is it Robert Wyatt-tier?

>>53948514
Ya haha it makes it even harder to tell what the fuck he's talking about on top of the accent

>>53948399
I mean, he's no genius or anything, but he's great on account of his ability to turn pop culture into [real] intellectualism (as opposed to pop-philosophy). he seems like a swell dude.

>>53948532
i meant disregarding someone completely because they listen to X, which this thread is based on

>>53948392
On an individual basis, yeah. But what a person listens to is a often (I can't stress this enough: the analysis fails on a small scale, so there will ALWAYS be exceptions) an indicator of someone's subculture. Case in point: go into any young, urban, upper-middle class white circle and most people will be sure to know groups like Arcade Fire or Vampire weekend. Go into a middle-class suburb and you're likely to see the same kind of familiarity with Bastille, Imagine Dragons or Mumford & Sons. Will you find Yuppies that listen to Young Thug? Always. But the general trend DOES exist.

>>53948392
tbh I don't want a gf that has the same taste as me (lots of /mu/core, yeah, w/e). I'd much rather have a gf that listens to country and pop and doesn't sperg out over it

>>53948622
it does if you refuse to leave your bubble. unlike me, who is a pioneer in crossing cultural boundries

>>53948540
It's pretty unbelievable...

>>53948620
I don't know about disregarding completely, but I'd much rather hang out with a fan of Tortoise or something than a fan of Mumford & Sons. It doesn't automatically make them a bad person, but music is one of my only passions and I don't see what's so bad about liking someone a bit less because they only listen to shit

true suffering

>>53948622
the assumption that someone will be into a particular artist based on their class is absurd. there are cliques, phases, accessibility of music, what their family listens/listened to etc. there's no objectivity of who an artists' fans will be and where they come from.

>>53948736
the trend exists. get used to it

>>53948221

Lets see what appears below I am running out of luck, I know what happens, the first rule of being a hipster is not accepting it.

>>53948665
because most people here disregard artists because they're not /mu/core or p4kcore etc. i.e. it's not "cool" to like certain artists.

that shit doesn't only happen on this cambodian projector community.

>>53948622
this is bait

>>53948756
do you know what the word "hip" means? if so than "hipster" naturally follows. if you don't know what hip means, you're just a square. dig me>

>>53948756
I really don't want to be a hipster

I'm going to stop wearing headphones and stop riding bikes and stop drinking beer and shave

That way I won't be a hipster

>>53948785
No

>>53948789

What I love the most of that picture is it's the background of my computer, you see it two.

What I mean is the cool thing about it is the items that are on the center look like the apple bar of apps.

So it's like a MacOSX with the Icons you use on the footbar more like the things you usually open, I wish I had headphones.

>>53948815
that's exactly what a hipster would do because it isn't cool anymore

>>53948784
>because most people here disregard artists because they're not /mu/core or p4kcore
[citation needed]

That's a pretty weird thing to say anyway, because by definition /mu/core is music that many /mu/tants like, so of course it's going to seem that /mu/tants shun non-/mu/core music because they're the ones who decide what albums are popular here

Anyways I don't how your post is responding to anything I said in mine

>>53948869
>I don't see what's so bad about liking someone a bit less because they only listen to shit

>>53948823
then please link me to this "analysis"

OMG I LOVE HOZIER!! TAKE ME 2 CHURCH LOL

>>53948593
is this what a neckbeard is

>>53948953
it doesn't require an analysis in the way that local "scenes" don't require analysis. they just sort've happen. we all have scenes in our towns where certain people go to hear certain music. bars where the rednecks go, bars where the college kids go, the world is always categorizing itself because like attracts like. artists become relevant because they appeal to a certain niche of the culture that can expand over time.

just let her enjoy what she wants

jesus christo this board is a massive ruse

>>53948919
But I don't do this: "disregard artists because they're not /mu/core or p4kcore etc"

So I don't see your point. I would prefer the company of someone who is knowledgeable and passionate about music because I would relate to them more and we'd actually have something to talk about. It's that simple. It's annoying having to be really polite when people play awful music and they ask if I like it, and I just say "Yeah it's pretty good". There's no discussion to be had. I'm sure they're good people who are interesting in other ways, but sorry, they usually rub me the wrong way with their ignorance. That doesn't mean I'd actively avoid being friends with someone like that or anything

>>53948984
Nah. That's a full beard.
A neckbeard has little to no actual facial hair on the actual face.

>>53949021
Who's stopping her? We can't make fun of people now?

>>53949008
you're generalizing way too much. white middle class is not a "scene".

>>53949164

White Middle Class? Ha Ha! The scene is on the websites nowadays, Internet took over the current Magazine/IRL Propaganda.

Yet I find the scene deplorable it doesn't mean we come to /mu/ looking for quality new music just common humble releases.

Garage Revival is a good thing to promote.

>>53949164
yes but remember that "white middle class" implies a certain method of consumption. so, spotify, tumblr, pitchfork, whatever. yes this is generalizing too but my point is that whatever sites appeal to the white middle class, whatever channels of delivery for the media, will be the ones prominently affecting taste.

>>53949164
this isn't just a music thing. consider the trends of "flannel" or "psychedlia" on say college kids. WHITE MIDDLE CLASS, anywhere, USA. everything ties together, fashion, social media, radio, magazines like E news, its just a big algorithm of trends and because "white middle class" happens to be a majority, artists that "fit the bill" in the way of being not too edgy, but new enough will stake a claim. mumford and sons is being mentioned here not randomly, because they displayed a certain hokiness or earnestness that played off of kings of leon but was maybe was the time for certain roots of americana to have another go, to be brought back into the limelight, the sound matches them, "powerful, simple, stomp

>>53949046
i didn't say you did that, read it again

i'm not saying you have to suck someone's dick because they have the same music interests as you but to not like someone because they don't listen to what you listen to is completely fucking absurd and hipsterish

>There's no discussion to be had. I'm sure they're good people who are interesting in other ways, but sorry, they usually rub me the wrong way with their ignorance.

god damn, dude. nevermind.

>>53949281
cont'd
stomping singalongs, that are somewhat false, but if that struck an emotional chord so be it. the point is that "where the artist" is coming from can't be related to, the middle class in the way of rappers or people from the "street". its about connection and relation to the audience. music emerges out of the needs of the time, what the public demands, or more often is fed

>>53949281
I wouldn't argue with that the fans of most "radio indie" artists are white middle class, because they are. The original argument that I disagreed with is that a significant number of white middle class-ers listen to radio indie.

>>53949355
and not only listen to it, but identify it as a significant part of their taste

>>53949282
>not like someone because they don't listen to what you listen to is completely fucking absurd and hipsterish
I think you missed the point, it's not about having the same taste as me. it's about more about how they consume music and their actual level of interest in it. The ideal would be someone who is as passionate about music as I am, but has very different taste. That way I could show him things he's never heard of and vice versa

It's not about dismissing someone based on whether they like an artist I don't like, it's about whether they are superficial about music, whether they only listen to music from their laptop speakers, whether they pretend their taste is unique and amazing yet won't give anything slightly "weird" a chance, etc

When I say there's no discussion to be had, I only mean that there's no way I can genuinely talk about music with that kind of person, and it's one of the only things I actually know how to talk about

>>53949355
well what would you say they listen to?

>>53949480
I think guitar music as a whole would be a better generalization. although I guess EDM is the new popular thing with younger people, I'd still say guitar music is the preferred music of white middle class-ers.
