Well yeah, when he actually chats with us everyone wants to get their word in

But then it seems to die down most of the time

LOL yeah hahah ofcourse PRAISE THE SUN LORD

like "brahh ahha u must really like swimming man to be named tim pool"

Did you say... https://i.ytimg.com/vi/eHgNXBP_Jwc/maxresdefault.jpg

@Deleted User that vid is pretty dank, i wonder if theyre not active anymore becasue liek that girl who sings left and started her own carrer or something imma look it up

ok nah they prolly jus chillen

the lady and the main dudegot married on new year eve of this year i think

prolly working on an album slowly too i mean when u get a billboard #1 people tend to let you do what the fuck you want as long as the next album comes out when the next contractual deadline is

Too bad, I don't think they're gonna be successful again

Like the other indie rock one hit wonders this decade

tbh their song got played SO MUCH im sure they fuckign made bank on those royalties

Yea

and are like FUCK FINALLY AFTER 4 ALBUMS

I miss Bastille

so they can just play shows at big festivals

and bank on that and tour with big acts that have draw

I like how they went to the Grammy's and said hail satan

ride the coattails of that one song everyone on th eplanet knows

XD wow hahah thats great

It's sad, the band made really good songs before feel it still

the amount of metal bands that would fucking sacrifice all teh goats on earth to be able to do that XD

say hail satan at the grammies

that is

Kinda miss when rock was supposed to be the rebelling

But I dont miss being told what I listened to was satanic.

I'm too young to remember those days

I was really young then, so I guess stuff like that wasnt meant for me anyway

Now rock is super mainstream

Hasn't helped

I have a theory

The easier it becomes to produce music

The worse the overall quality will become

Not quite

Its actually just marketing

Though difficulty does play a role

I mean, you strive for the biggest group.

Basically people respond best to generic noise

I think there is some intelligence required to know which noises appeals to the biggest group

I think its not that its become easier

I think that 4'33" is the pinnacle of modern music

But that its become quantifiable

It's been downhill since then

All genres slowly mush together and louder volume trumps finesse

For example in the 70s and 80s, you had to put in hours and hours of improvisation, get an orchestra, carefully plan everything

So at the end, it was harder to fuck up,

Now, get a dude, give him 10 hours on FL studio

I mean, the Beatles were still 4chords for the most part

Write lyrics, put in shitton of autotune

Throw shit at the wall until something sticks

Well, a lot of the mainstream bands these days all contract out to the same lyrics-writing agency as well

Same fucking people dude

Back in the 70's, 80's, and even into the 90's, people wrote their own lyrics

So whats good then?

If anything, the "good" ones are not as visible?

Lemme interject

WANNA KNOW WHY OLD MUSIC SEEMED BETTER?

@GingaBomber yes

THE BAD SHIT NEVER GOT HEARD

Yep!

the bad shit never sold records

and now, the bad shit can be put online for everyone

blessings and curses people

But the shit that people pay for is also bad

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

So what you're saying, ZQKing, is that ignorance is bliss

has there been a dip in creativity?

sure

Like people pay for a Tidal subscription

Does that mean today's msuic is shit?

not wytiwe

FOR TRAP MUSIC

TRAP.MUSIC

Ill just be happy with Sabaton then

People literally give 10 dollars a month for trap music

> Allow Revan to send you file "music.virus"? (y/N)

I think "our" generation just has little to actually write about, in the west at least

I havent listened to heavy metal for a while

The people that are real under ground are really good

Makes sense, Sabaton had to get material from the medieval times to WW2

Like the struts

haha to be honest there are some pretty fucking dope ass musicians that actually have pursued their craft for the sake of their art

Also obligatory RIP Nujabes

Check em out, they're like queen https://youtu.be/ARhk9K_mviE

Oh absolutely

You know, heard of Carpenter Brut?

Glam rock

Tosin Abasi is a baller

Very few actually seen him, and he does not put himself on pics or marketing

Even though I'm not a huge fan of djent

like there are so manny musicians that have dedicated their lives to their instruments

yeah ive fucking met tosin before

Like Hugh laurie

I'm off for the night

o7

That guy's great

He does music?

Later

And people like Michael bauble
