/mu/ - Music (Temp full images)

ebin b8

in all seriousness though just look at chart threads and see what we like. and by me i mean late teens and early 20s kind of people

there was some hipster garbage playing at coachella and everyone in the /mu/ thread said they were a shitty version of pavement or something

so yeah probably

i know they're into a perverse form of nostalgia for shit they never experienced (like with vaporwave), but i can't say anything because i did the same thing with the 80's

Here you go OP

This is what hip people are listening to today.

I'm 31, le get off my lawn, etc.

That'd be intesting. This electronic music fad has got to be coming to a close, it wouldn't be surprising if a 90s garage sound briefly came back into style before we transition into the next big thing.

Also nice pic. I remember buying Rancid and Blink vinyls at Hot Topic when I was an idiot in 1998.

>this electronic music fad has got to be coming to a close

Why?
Rock was the vapid party music that killed jazz, and it didn't come to a close. It overtook all of the cultural and counter-cultural purposes that jazz used to have. Your music is dead. Electronic music will evolve to live in our husks. We won't understand it, we may have a few partially valid criticisms to make, but none of this will change the inevitable. It's over. We go to bed with Joel.

>>55245942

God they should just rename themselves Hypebeast Music

Bjork? Are you shitting me

>>55246028

Edm isn't going to go away completely but it's currently at fad status, like it was in the late 90s. It'll drop off again before too long.

I'm a senior in high school (yes 18), and every single person listens to rap. Especially white people, all the white people are the most hardcore rap fans, but everybody likes rap now. I live in SoCal so it could be a regional thing.

>>55246142
it's not a regional thing. lil wayne is so popular with trashy molly-addled white kids here that it's bizarre.

>>55246142
I would believe it with how huge rap has gotten on /mu/ in the past few years

(old man reporting in)

>>55246142

Yeah but white kids don't exclusively listen to rap. It's in heavy rotation but it's not the only genre. And it's been that way since the 90s

>>55246115
History isn't really cyclical, though.

Electronic music fills more cultural niches than last time it made a big push. Just the availability of means changes everything, in itself. The instruments are everywhere, are basically free, and more powerful than any other instrument. There's just no way it's gonna take second place.

>>55246142
>>55246183
Hip-Hop overtook rock as the primary genre of young people over a decade ago. Most of the best-selling albums/singles of the 2000 were either hip-hop or hip-hop related.

30 year old talking about noisecore


Yeah fucking right

>>55246219

Second place?
It already is in second place, third even, behind rap and whatever you want to call pop shit

>>55246217
this is a good point too. i live in the south and everyone (everyone that isn't a hipster or a basement dwelling /mu/tant) listens to a combination of rap, country, and pop. that's probably why r&b has been creeping into popular country music as of late.

>>55246249
OP here. What's so weird about that, should I be older? I live in St. Louis MO and noise has had a thriving scene here for at least a decade

>>55246217
that's true. they listen to rap and what they consider "hipster" stuff like vampire weekend and two door cinema club.

>>55246257

Turned on the country station recently and the singer was referencing "like a g6", made me chuckle

hey what about that country rock that has hip hop beats and synthpop twinkly effects? Country rock is very popular

>>55245908
hey theyre alright tho

27 year old and only listen to music from the late 80s 90s
Got a problem with it
Fuck off.

Pop will always be an amalgamation of whatever's popular beneath it.

Rap is on its last legs of popularity.

Not that I'm a youth

Um, I'm 22
most kids I come in contact with only know what's on the radio or popular on youtube
the ones I see with band t shirts or look scene/edgy wear 30 seconds of summer, bob marley, falling in reverse, blood on the dance floor

I just assume everyone has no taste except me

>>55246438
You're next pimpin

You excited about your ten year reunion anon?
I met my prom date's husband. Then I got really drunk and crashed my motorcycle.

>>55246425
what the fuck

>>55246392
sorry i don't. but i hear those songs from time to time on the country station.
one had a 4/4 drum with a synthesized nigger bass beat too. sometimes close to "country rapping". country seems to be absorbing all the genres to gain as many fans

>>55246436
No, it really is in its grunge era.

Last decade will be the height of its popularity. We're already halfway through this decade and it is nowhere near regaining its old glory. Instead, we see all kinds of 'alternative' shit creeping into mainstream hip hop in order to keep it alive a little bit longer.

Soon there will be the SmashMouth and Third Eye Blind equivalents of hip hop. Death Grips already is the KoRn of hip hop.

Welcome to the miserable and humiliating end of rap.

>>55246461
>Then I got really drunk and crashed my motorcycle.
i would hang out with you.

>>55246506
yeah, and you can hear the difference between them and the one who tried all the tryptamines (sturgill simpson).

shit chaps my ass so hard.

>>55246482

Haaay I like korn

>>55246546
And I like Death Grips. :^)

>>55246461
I thought I would never go to prom, but I did, also same night I lost my virginity. SO i guess she was kinda my gf over the summer. but I kept going over her house just to fuck her. she eventually broke up with me because all I wanted to do was fuck her and that I was a sex addict.
10 years later and I only fuck transexuals, how great

oh yeah I saw my prom dat at LAX like 4 years ago and she got fat, married a ed-hardy wearing faggot and has a kid! ahaha I always win in the end

>>55244097
33 year old who can't relate with today's youth, reporting. Dub makes no sense to me, and I still think vaporwave is an elaborate hoax.
That said, I'm a long time lover of shoegaze/dream/ethereal and I feel right at home listening to today's music from that genre constellation. Doesn't really answer your concerns, OP, but maybe it will give you a little hope that your own beloved genres will see resurgence. I don't think there's any such thing as generational culture anymore, the internet has effectively blurred the lines between the generational cohorts.

>>55246614
Maybe we should kill ourselves.

>>55246544

i don't even know what to think anymore

>>55246634
My dog has at least 8 years left in her, so maybe then. If I haven't gone the normie route and gotten married and found a respectable career, etc. Actually, that would probably be a great reason to do myself in...
Fuck man, you're bringin me down.

>>55246614
>I still think vaporwave is an elaborate hoax
i sort of know this feel. i can listen to it and even enjoy some of it, but when people start trying to give me the diatribe about it having some underlying message as a criticism of capitalism i want to curbstomp someone.
>the internet has effectively blurred the lines between the generational cohorts.
i think that's good, but it's also made bands more concerned with how social media is going to perceive their work.

>>55246712
yeah i didn't either.

>>55246499
Kek. Sadly that might be the last reckless thing I did before turning old

>>55246593
Would have been nice if she'd gotten fat. She was my girlfriend for two years, then I kind of ruined it. Didnt talk for like 8 years. Then there she was, still hot, husband is crazy successful, it was pretty brutal

>>55246614
>>>55244097 (OP) (You)
> I don't think there's any such thing as generational culture anymore, the internet has effectively blurred the lines between the generational cohorts.

I think you're right sort of. We're headed in that direction anyway. It's nice that more than ten artists can be popular at once now

>>55246712
>>55246776
Country's had its fair share of hippies since the 60s, you know that, right?

>>55246804
yes, i'm familiar with some of them. i don't think the new riders of the purple sage ever sang about DMT though.

>>55246776
I'm 33 too, and vaporwave was just a creative way to revel in the sump we live in.

It's pretty straightforward indulgence, even if they dress it up in all of the underlying things they are revolted at. It was cool, and I don't think you should be so mad at kids who don't know how to articulate what they're doing all that well.

>>55246826
>and I don't think you should be so mad at kids who don't know how to articulate what they're doing all that well.
i've been mad at kids my whole life. i don't think it's so much the artists either as it is the fanbase that perpetuates that idea. it comes off as pretentious to me. sorry. i think the artists just wanted to make some cool sounds, and the fans had to prop it up with some other meaning because they're trying to legitimize a microgenre in some way when it's fine on its own as its own sort of sound.

>>55246826
>I don't think you should be so mad at kids who don't know how to articulate what they're doing all that well.
That's fair. When I was 20 I certainly didn't know how to say what meant, or mean what I said. Still a work in progress, on that front. Besides, if you could just say it, why make art about it in the first place, yeah? I know this in an academic sense, but it doesn't make it any easier for me to relate to.

>>55246257
Southfag reporting in. can confirm.

>>55246425
The version they play on the radio around here sounds way more country. huh

>>55246905
I mean the genre itself has this ideological content.

They're not wrong that it's a critique. I'm just saying that more importantly, it's a way to bask in the shit they're criticizing.

I've also been mad at kids my whole life. I should have had fun. :(

>>55246916
Yeah word.

Really it's just moody shit. I like that kind of passive aggressive stuff.
