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.
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
We should probably stop doing that tbh
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
Struggle Session: Wu Tang Clan stole from Asian culture and rap battles are just troubadour type shit.
LOL
