/fur/ - Furry

Haha I searched that friggin song and never found it, it ran in a loop on Second Life because I kept screwing someone on furry islands.

Kinda feel stupid for ever playing that. Attaching a dick to the character literally is the only thing I can do there.

>>47897

With epic furry related names only us furfags would understand, right?

I've gotten very much into kemoUTA.

>>47908

I can't understand this because it's not titled cocksucking bara wolfie

>>47927

Now that we know it's your music, no.

>>47927

Why not?Go ahead.

>>47956

I would love to but i'm afraid birdman might try to touch me

>>47965

I'm nice. You can post your music. Just don't be an attention whore about it.

>>47967

if anything I'll post it to a file sharing site to avoid name faggotry

>>47972

Is this an avatarfag?

>>47980

No. I'm just waiting for the other anon to post his dumb music.

I can (probably) lend my voice if someone wants to write a song or whatever. It's trap-/cub- tier, and I guess I'm pretty good at singing for not ever having taken actual lessons or anything.

>>47984

Sorry to say, it's probably pretty bad for not having lessons. You might have a decent grasp at tone but you'll lack proper ranges.

if you think this sounds good you don't know much about vocaloid. that's one of the worst tuning jobs i've ever heard on kaito.

>There's nothing inherently furry about music

There's nothing inherently black or indian or eastern about music, either, if you ignore culture and source. If you include lyrics, then basically all you get for 'black music' is songs with fascinating lyrics such as: Nigga, nigga, nigga nigga drugs / nigga, nigga, nigga nigga pussy. (There's a whole lot more music that's culturally considered to be black music, though.)

Though furry subculture is minimal and spread, there is a little bit that exists. In terms of music, it's something that's not fully explored, but I would say there are two big subsets forming that could be considered 'furry music' by culture alone: electronic noise, thanks to Renard, and UTAU thanks to Japan's much more founded kemono culture.

Ignoring all of the above, I think it's also important to be aware that good music tleads the listener through an engaging story, whether through lyrics or melodies. It's a lot more abstract, but having some sort of unified genre that furries identified with would make it a lot more definable as furry music by nature of being part of the subculture.

>At this point, I have just given up on music. I'm just not proficient in music at all, so I have basically given up on all endeavors because it's just not my thing.

Music is a form of art, just like drawing or painting. As such, it will necessarily require hundreds of hours to refine your skill. Giving up is fine, but give up for the right reason; you can make good music if you take the time to refine your talent, but if taking the time to do that is too far an undertaking, then it's best to be resolute about it.

>I just see it as a waste of time trying to pick it up again

Did you have fun? I would say that intrinsically justifies the time expenditure.

>>48182

I'm not racist, like at all. I've had black friends, even one boyfriend when I was a young teen, co-workers that I don't have any problems with.

But nigger music is fucking horrible. I was never able to quite qualify exactly what it was, until recently. I was flipping randomly through some 90's music for nostalgic kicks, and came across the perfect example. It was a cover of The Police "Every Breath You Take" (which is an excellent song on its own), except they got some tone-deaf bitches to sing it, and added in rap lyrics about some back guy that was killed. They literally appropriated a piece of white culture and turned it into complaining about some nigger that got shot because he was doing nigger things.

>>48219

In a way it's not much different from how we would currently define a lot of 'furry music' like OP's piece, which is some furry getting yiffed because he was doing furry things.

I do understand what you mean. It's definitely not true of all black people, but there certainly seems to be a subset of them who not only accept but actually glorify this kind of thing as their culture.

The thing is, they're not the only ones. Living in the south, I can't tell you how many Good Christian Songs I've heard on the radio that were nothing but moaning out for God and Jesus while some off-key acoustic guitar shrieks in the background, as if that provided the singer some sort of sexual bliss.

I suppose the easiest way to target it is that there's a lot of music that's just targeted towards a specific cultural group to have an easy audience to appeal to, whereas usually when you have good music worth celebrating, it becomes part of the culture itself. In the past there was a lot of blues and jazz that came predominately from black cultures that was honestly very good, but the jazz scene has been slowly dying as far as I can tell.

That said, there have been a couple of very decent rap songs I've found (ironically, a lot of them coming from white rappers) but I think conceptually the good part of rap is the underground culture of what equates to poetry slams. I think this is something that should be encouraged, honestly. I just hate that all of the popular songs tend to be absolutely incomprehensible except for various slurs or praises for felonous behavior.

That is no way to raise your chucks. They should be roaming in a bigger coop!

>I can't see how these can be seperated.

They really can't, which was kind of the point I was making. Nothing is inherently furry about music if you ignore the cultural point of music - which, admittedly, is currently very much a budding flower for furries. It's undeniable, though, that the kemoUTA scene is growing (the name Muzzle-Lab is becoming decently big in the kemono scene, with having released some 5 or 6 albums themselves) and even disregarding Renard's absurd quantity of tracks there are a few other smaller-named composers who take on a furry or furry-like brand (Wolfgun, for example - I'm not sure if he's actually a furry, but his lyrics very frequently speak of being a wolf).

>This might sound a bit silly, but I've always wanted this. I've never been able to figure out how "appreciation for animals and anthropomorphism", being a furry, could be expressed through a distinct brand of music, but I hope it becomes a reality some day.

That's exactly what I want to see too, and I think if a scene grows for music appreciation then we'll eventually see one. The kemono scene already is building their own form of it in UTAU, which I'm generally lukewarm on (I'm very picky about my singers in the first place, so having robotic-like voices sometimes drives me crazy) but embrace anyway. As far as western music goes, it's definitely leading towards something electronic by combination of influential first artists and just generally how big electronic music currently is in the west.

I definitely suggest fully listening to this embedded song, Lights by Wolfgun. Like I mentioned earlier, I don't know if he's actually a furry or if he's just taking animal symbolism into his music, but it captures a lot of what I want to hear out of 'furry music'. Another interesting song, if you want to give it a listen, is "Dirty Paws" by Of Monsters and Men. It's actually the inverse - animals are used for the symbolic representation of human war (though I haven't listened to it in a while, IIRC it has a lot of heavy undertones parallel to WW2 without using Hitler to drive the point in).

>I feel it, I feel it deeply.

Same. This particular artist I couldn't really get into most of their songs, but this one just deeply vibes with me. Not just that part, but the "I don't know!" parts as well; I feel it's actually even more powerful being Engrish, and then the art besides it is so powerful, with the character containing a lot of emotion. This is why I really like music, if done correctly it just adds so, so much more to other forms of art. A good horror film/game is always insanely powerful with proper musical timing and atmosphere to underline the feeling of hopelessness and despair.

>how small I can go

Since it's music you don't want to compress the audio too much, so you're not really going to get it to shrink much more. The best thing you could do at that point is to shrink the resolution of the video itself to 240p.
