Oh my fucking god I just wanted to say how otherworldly bad music is right now (pop has always been stupid to varying levels but oh my fucking god they have raised the stakes). I just listened to a bunch of pop tracks from various genres and I literally think I'm about to die. Rock, country, indie, folk, hipster white rap, whatever you call home, is aggressively bad. It's like Walmart made a gun that can shoot cum and blood and piss and shit and puke into your soul. We are so fucking fucked. I want to saw my own head off.

Man some of the takes in this thread got me feelin like it's two types of people: people who claim they 'listen to a little bit of everything' when that 'little bit of everything' is 31 radio-approved, Top-40 flavors of Post Malone, Aubrey Graham, Taylor Swift, and Billie Eilish; and people who actually go looking for and listen to acts that aren't either white or gentrified

That and that one oldhead who apparently hasn't engaged with music since they were still pressin vinyls; man, don't you have 8-track tapes to be wheeling back up? Be kind, rewind headass i-cant

White people can make good music on occassion, at least earworms.

True! I do at least try to carve out spaces for the likes of John Darnielle, Aesop Rock, RA the Rugged Man, etc.-- it does happen; I'm just using 'white or gentrified' as shorthand for 'watered down content for a stolen, watered down genre' rly

If you think someone's skin colour affects their musical talent, you're probably a bit racist

I think someone's skin color predicts whether or not they're an interloper in a stolen genre because that's just what happens and what has happened with the western music industry since the fuckin forties. All your favorite rock n roll-- especially the British Invasion, since I see that .uk-- stole Black delta blues, popularized it, and typically didn't pay a CENT to the progenitors of the licks and lyrics they ripped.

Shut the fuck up, man; take your piss elsewhere.

AND NOW THAT I'M THINKING ABOUT IT, you crackers built a WHOLE electronic genre off a stolen 8-bar drum loop that the progenitor of THAT drum loop took LITERAL FUCKING YEARS before ever saw a coin or a credit for it! But you wanna come here talm bout 'racism' when the only real difference between you and a "yank" is the accent you spit your bullshit with, and the quality of your teeth.

Also y'all need a quantize command to find a meter, you can't cmv
