/mu/ - Music

Every big well-known singer ever. Their music all sounds the same to me.

Pretty much every mainstream American metal and rock band from the 80's to the mid 90's except for Slayer.

They all sound like shit, whenever I listen to AC/DC or Metallica I think

>how the fuck could anybody listen to this?

It's so bland and uninspired. It's strange to think bands like Black Sabbath came before Metallica yet had a more devolved and unique sound.

>>95272

>devolved

Developed, sorry

>Butthole Surfers

What fucking deminsion do you live on? The entire point was for them to be the most unmarketable band of all time. They are literally a one-hit wonder and everything else is the musical equivalent of them just shitposting

>>95272

AC/DC is Australian

>Tyler The Creator

>The Weeknd

>Kendrick Lamar

>Taylor Swift

it's weird too, because all of these have been recommended to me by people who also like Sia, and Sia I abolutely do get

>>95281

The Weeknd used to be notable for combining at the time obscure electro with RnB and hip hop. He eventually just became RnB though and for good reason since by now electro is dead and for the most part replaced by Soundcloud Rap and other Soundcloud genres which pretty much degenerated the whole music industry.

Kendrick Lamar is absolute garbage though, get new friends.

>>95281

>Tyler, The Creator

He has like 5 good songs, I don't know why he's so popular.

>>95284

>tyler

>5 good songs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oCd6SQ67k-Y literally his only enjoyable song

>>95292

>enjoyable

hmm

>>95284

>I don't know why he's so popular

He is better at social media than he is at music. I guess it is just a case as the more things change the more they stay the same in the sense that being able to promote your brand < whatever it is your produce.

>>95301

>I will say, I'll eternally respect him for that cyberbullying tweet he made.

Why? The point about cyber bullying is that it usually goes over into real life and people are not able to escape it anymore. Of course a weed smoking rapper would not be able to understand that.

>>95306

Cyberbullying is not real nigger. When it crosses over into real life it just becomes regular bullying and should be treated as such. But if Cyberbullying alone effects you then you're a faggot

>>95307

Getting doxxed for example is real and it's cyber bullying.

>>95309

Its not cyberbullying because no bullying was actually happening online. A retard posted his personal info on the internet so people could harass them in real life. You're grasping at straws

>Ok Go

Nice videos though.

>>95272

>Pretty much every mainstream American metal and rock band from the 80's to the mid 90's except for Slayer.

I've never understood why Death gets hailed as the greatest death metal band of all time. I could never get into the prog albums; they sounded like very halfassed, boring reddit wankercore. SBG and Leprosy were OK, but nothing Sentenced, early Pestilence or any other death metal band from that era weren't doing (with more creativity to boot). Slayer's only good recordings are Show No Mercy through Hell Awaits. After that, you don't need to dig further into their discog, it's just worthless memeshit

>>95272

>comparing AC/DC to Metallica

Hold on, Metallica actually made good albums (mainly Ride the Lightning and Justic).

>>95407

Not catanon, but Metallica to zoomer/millennial metal ears is like listening to AC/DC; it's a very lukewarm, vanilla and overplayed experience and it's understandable why many younger metal listeners would be turned off by it after hearing Enter Sandman umpteen times on the radio as a kid. That said, I will admit that I fell victim to this kind of thinking and up until recently, rejected listening to a lot of classic albums in the metal genre for fear of encountering this overplayed, outdated audiable boomer noise. But the truth is, if you want to really get into a genre, the classics are classic for a reason, and not getting that initial grounding in the genre's roots is what leads many young metal listeners to think that ALL 80s and 90s metal with the exception of some "underrated classics" IE albums that were either complete shite or following in the shadows of greater giants, are vanilla trash to left behind as we listen to Meshuggah, Deafheaven or some warmed over "heavy" rock band that pilfered Metallica and Motorhead.

>>95408

I understand. As a teen I never wanted to play old Iron Maiden Queensrÿche records because guitar solos and high-effort vocals sounded so try hard to me. On the other hand, I was more interested in Korn and Wu-Tang at that time, so I guess I was just being wrong. Needless to say that I haven't listened to Korn or Wu-Tang since over 10 years while classic metal is now a daily staple in my house.

>>95407

>including Justice but not Kill 'Em All

I really like AC/DC, but there was too much filler on their albums even in their classic period.

>>95414

But Kill'em All is boring. Honestly, it's not bad, but didn't have the progressive/melodic sound of Ride or the industrial coldness of Justice that made them still relevant nowafays. It's vanilla as fuck. A bit like comparing Death's Scream Bloody Gore and Leproy or Spiritual Healing.

>>95408

Don't worry, I understand. Real meal fans can listen to stuff like Carcass' first albums or Mütiilation but can also like Metallica or Pantera, without the whole "not kvlt enough" newfag attitude.

>>95417

>Real meal fans can listen to stuff like Carcass' first albums or Mütiilation but can also like Metallica or Pantera,

Now Pantera in any scenario is worthless trash, but otherwise I agree; the whole trve kvlt attitude you see in people like Noisefiend is fag-tier.

>>95408

Most younger metalheads like metal for how extreme and heavy it can be, which is why the only classic bands zoomers are 70's ones. If you grew up listening to Electric Wizard or Sleep then Metallica would sound like garbage in comparison.

>>95429

I had my start listening to nu-metal, then got into old school death metal thanks to Fear Factory then only recently in the last year started delving into thrash and black metal.

>>95258

YOU ASSHOLE. OP CONFIRMED A GAY

>>95431

so did I but that was more than 20 years ago.

most of what I like now is goregrind, raw black metal (especially NSBM), brutal death metal, 80s us noise rock/punk, and industrial.

>>95307

eh I disagree but I caused the suicide of someone who tried me. yay me, I guess.

Bikini Kill and Sleater Kinney for my picks. especially if you're a man. just go ahead and lop that cock off. you're finished. now hand me your man card. and your wife and kids. now they're my family.

>>95418

C'mon m8, Cowboys from Hell had its moments.

The velvet underground, REM, and Mudhoney other than this song.

>>95258

do you smoke weed?

>>95417

It has some of the best riffs Metallica ever wrote, and the raw, youthful enthusiasm comes right through. It's like Lightning to the Nations mixed with the aggression of early Venom. "Anesthesia" should have been left on the cutting room floor, though.

>>95418

Vulgar Display of Power is great.

>>95429

Why the '70s ones? Most of the heavy metal bands from that era sound completely tepid and wimpy.

>>95463

Mudhoney was basically just doing an updated version of the Blue Cheer sound (they even covered "Magnolia Caboose Babyfinger").

Sigur Ros is a band I just cannot get my head around no matter how hard I try. Its recommended to me constantly because I love Björk with a passion but it always disappoints. I get so bored banging my head against the huge orchestral soundwalls they put into their songs. I swear its just ōōōōōōōōōōōōh for 10 minutes straight with the THX test sound in the background interrupted by a xylophone every now and then. Its all just so generic.

>>95516

Neutral Milk Hotel is an American band.

>>95518

>How have they gotten so popular and praised they're no more special than their contemporaries.

Massive dicksuckery by indie critics like Mark Prindle (remember him?), and magazines like Spin and others. They convinced enough people that they were an important band, and people just went with it.

>>95513

That explains why I only like one mudhoney song, because the only blue cheer song I can remember is "summertime blues".

Björk

I don't get it at all. Why do people swear by her? Are they in on a joke?

Her music is for bug people.

>>95524

Mark Prindle is great, though.

>>95418

Duuude noooo. How could you listen to this shit and dismiss it like it is. Pantera is one of the more musically interesting bands on the metal scene. They defined their own genre of "groove metal" with their unique sound. Most of the songs have multiple movements, changes of tempo, memorable lyrics, all without following the percussive mold other bands use in their music. The guitar sounds like its being tortured, Phil's vocals are straight venom, just a bad-ass band. Listen to the riffs drag on your skull in 25 Years and try to tell me it doesn't get you pumped.

>>95527

>insulting mai /mu/fu

Excuse me mister, I'll have you know that I happen to be one of those people who swear by her, and its partly because of her unique voice. There is simply no precedent for someone as gifted as her. Its not any technique or skills that she has honed, as I admit there are definitely artists who are more talented at manipulating their voice than her. Its simply the God-given shape of her chords, in-born ability. Her voice has this certain appeal, like ASMR or binaural beats. It doesn't work on everyone, but those that can appreciate it greatly. Embed related for me is indescribably wonderful. It places me in complete tranquility, and I am a very high-strung person.

Now the next part of why I appreciate Björk's music, is her incredible compositional ability. She had her debut in just the right time and place to draw on an enormous amount of musical influences from the European trip-hop, to house, and even the opera scene. Before her solo career she had brief stints in bands like K.U.K.L and The Sugarcubes which had a more generic punk and alternative sound respectively. All these different styles and experiences made her into an incredibly versatile artist, and it shows within her music. She is one to keep the listener on their toes, and engaged with stunning moments of intimacy in her songs. Björk is capable of making these wonderful soundstages that perfectly compliment her voice, like a playground for a dawn sprite, or ball lightning. Its not the type of music you play in the car or at work. You have to sit down and enjoy it.

I really miss the next feature where longs posts were automatically collapsed the vomit formatting is awful for discussions like this.

>>95565

>>95527

Here is work from her previous band. I have yet to find someone who does not find this song pleasant. Its a departure from her later style towards a more generic 90s alternative sound. More accessible like The Cure or The Smiths. Tell me what you think.

>>95565

I literally want to shoot you point blank with a sawed off for posting that. The more you try to convince me of Björk's talent or "genius", the more I'm convinced you're clinically retarded.

>>95566

This is slightly better, but still annoying.

>>95510

sometimes…why?

>>95565

Never post ever again pls thx

>>95533

Yeah, he is the one that led me to places like 4/mu/ and here, but some of the stuff he liked (Fantomas, Tomahawk, Sun city girls) was kinda garbage imo. I will always be thankful to him for introducing me to the cows though.

>>95576

Also, his own music was pretty good as well

>>95577

I found him through his Killing Joke reviews back before he gave up writing on his site. If it wasn't for him, I might not have heard bands like Sparks or given G.G. Allin a chance.

>>95575

>>95572

Oh so you're just baiting with no intention of actually changing your mind if that's even your real opinion. Nice to know I guess.

>>95580

I like her music, I just think your post was embarrassing.

>>95581

I own anything I type completely.

>>95580

What's the point of still using Hooktube if it just redirects YouTube now.

>>95358

>calling things reddit baselessly

look I agree with you but calling things reddit just heavily insinuates that you’re projecting and that’s where you migrated from. I’ve never used reddit in my life and never will and have no idea wtf you’re trying to say when you call something reddit or say something is redditcore, because idiots on 4ailchan use it for anytning and everything they don’t like. so please, keep your reddit projection on 4ail/mu/ ffs

>>95593

reddit is used as a synonym for pretentious and effeminate in an extremely obnoxious way, or something very circle-jerky.

>>95593

>look I agree with you but calling things reddit just heavily insinuates that you’re projecting and that’s where you migrated from

Projection.

>>95596

Blindness in favor to being accepted and gleeful stupidity are also part of it but that probably goes without saying.

>>95585

Hooktube has a lighter script load, bypasses region block, age filter, lots of things.

Almost every /mu/-core band

>>95429

I enjoy a bit of power and progressive metal so I dunno. Although the majority of what I like is extreme metal. I even enjoy extreme music that isn't metal at all.

For this thread:

Bikini Kill

Sleater-Kinney

Rage Against The Machine

Tool (after Aenima)

I was friends with Mark Prindle on faceberg early on until he deleted me over my dubious political views. He had some of the best lists.

When the idea of cyberbullying was being intoduced in school. It was about the idea of kids using the internet to extend bullying they were probably already doing. Not really about trolls like people seem to think

>>96228

As much as I enjoy the guy, he definitely is a huge cuck.

Isn't prindle some sort of classical liberal? He never had a problem making nigger and spic jokes.

I do remember him complaining about unironic racism a bunch of times though

>>96265

"Sexism" is one of his pet peeves, and he admitted to feeling white guilt in his D.H. Peligro interview if I remember right. He also whined about those ding dang dirty Republicans criticizing Obama in one of his Residents reviews.

He's just a faggoty libcuck with a better sense of humor (and taste in music) than most.
