Unpopular views about music

I have no idea why Alcest gets the amount of dislike they do online. Sure everything they've done sounds the same but I don't mind. It's moody and I enjoy putting them on when I'm trying to get through something at work that demands attention.
Is the hate from the "trve" sorts of black metal fans, or from people finding out Neige was on a rather based album.

It's just something I've seen come up many many times over the years, both in metal circles and out. I don't know if they're a meme band and I've been unaware of the joke for a decade now or what. I don't care what some trve kvlt jackoff has to say about it, but I am curious how this opinion has wound up in unexpected places.
 
It’s still too early to list Tyler, The Creator’s Call Me If You Get Lost as one of the greatest albums of all time. I still think the same way about Frank Ocean’s Blonde, for even after eight years of release, I only listen to maybe three or four songs from it.
 
Roy Orbison’s music is far more influential and deeply engrossing than both Elvis and Buddy Holly’s music combined, and I say this as a fan of all three of them.
I wholeheartedly agree. Orbison rocked.

@ssaneenah Didn't one of 'em rape a kid, or am I somehow thinking of the nig-nog who duetted with John Lydon on World Destruction?
 
The MTV Video Music Awards started to become a shell of its former self in the late 2010’s. It started in the middle part of that decade, but the music videos that have been nominated since then just simply do not hold a candle to the music vids made in the 2000’s and 1990’s.

Also, in the past few years alone, they keep having celebrity-based ”musicians” host the show and not actual comedians that can make fun of the music videos being nominated.

It’s not that unpopular, but there’s times when I miss the old MTV, even if it acted schlocky.

Somehow the way listens and charts are figured out is completely fucked. Every retarded SoundCloud rapper has went multiplatinum. Then you get these weird declarations like “Yung Nigg’s breakout hit ‘Mumble Mumble Muhfugga’ has broken more chart records than The Beatles!” On the one hand, nobody gives a fuck about music charts these days but on the other hand I find it obnoxious that somehow records seem to get broken every few months. I doubt this 19 year old mumbling nigger who will be dead by 23 is a bigger sensation than The Beatles. I suspect music labels are just juicing the stats on songs, not unlike labels like Def Jam buying their own albums just so they can declare someone hit Gold their first week. I can see some click farms in Nigeria who do nothing but click on retarded songs all day to change the stats. Or AI at this point.
 
When crooner jazz and classic rock fell out of favor with the mainstream only to be replaced with overproduced dance pop, EDM and later on with nigger rap shit, it was a signal of something changing for the worse within society at large.

Radio music is mental programming. It's a well established fact that listening to music changes your mood and thinking. We all used to listen to upbeat songs about stuff like talking to a cute girl, great rock songs about enjoying life, or some of the world's best singers singing heartfelt ballads about love, all mostly optimistic, pure stuff. How do you suppose that made people feel?
Contrast that with today, when the most famous "artists" are zoomers singing (badly) about mental illness, niggers mumbling something incoherent about ugly expensive cars, clothes, drugs and money, negresses shaking their obese asses and wailing about fame, fucking and bling, and so on. How do you suppose listening to this disgusting goyslop makes people feel? Not to mention every single one of these songs uses the exact same 4 chords because the music industry jews figured out they're the "easiest" to listen to. Variety is dead.

I'm not trying to be an elitist faggot trying to judge people's taste, I don't give a fuck if you don't like rock or jazz or whatever, that's fine. I'm just pointing out those genres carry much more positive messages than the shit the masses are made to listen to today, so the fact that they aren't popular anymore has been a net negative to society.

It goes hand in hand with the utter demoralization of society, the prevalence of greed, people wanting nothing more than to "hustle" and be rich so they can buy lambos like their favorite nigger "artist", etc. It's sickening
 
So lately I've been converting and saving my favorite songs in Mono Channel rather than keeping them in Stereo.

I've come to find that Mono makes the songs sound much better and "fuller"... specifically the bass instrument pops out more, which I can appreciate. I've always felt that the bass was always hidden by the backside unless it had it's own solo section, so it never really get a chance to shine and blend in with the other instruments as much unless you adjusted your EQ on whatever player you were using. With Mono, that problem is solved.
I love that line in the Army of the Doomstar where Nathan is talking to Murderface, who feels like he is simply an unvalued piece of the band, and Nathan says "you don't hear the bass; you feel it."

The world described in Lennon's "Imagine" is positively dystopic. Lives of eternal ennui, soul-less people milling around the world without purpose. There will be no "brotherhood of men", only solitary, unconnected lives, passing time through endless navel gazing.
I've always taken "Imagine" in the same vein as the Beach Boys "Wouldn't It be Nice", just as John saying it would be great if humans didn't kill each other over trivial shit all the time and not as a manifesto and the roadmap to a better world. God knows John might say "no possessions" in the song but he wasn't giving up his riches. Dennis was just singing he wishes he and that girl could go ahead and get married and start a new life together and John is wishing humans didn't suck.

I agree, but Lennon still expressed it in such an insufferable & provocative proto-redditor way that he deserves to be clowned on.
 
Lennon got clowned on so hard with Imagine that towards the end of his life he pretended that it was actually a parody. He was basically irrelevant by the time he died while all the other members of The Beatles had more going on than he did. Turns out he needed the rest of the band more than they needed him. Mark David Chapman, who did nothing wrong, caused everyone to gloss over Lennon’s embarrassing last decade.

If it makes you feel any better; the best thing about a world where all is free is that it just couldn't be, and only a fool would say that.

It feels great that Ringo somehow ended up in the best place out of all of them.
