Unlike its visual art counterpart

2018-07-31 02:49:08 UTC  

I mean, you'll read classic literature in the English department, but the ultimate goal is always to reach deconstruction and the research is entirely driven by SocJus-type trends.

2018-07-31 02:49:32 UTC  

Actually, that's not quite accurate.

2018-07-31 02:49:51 UTC  

Well not that postmodernism doesnt have a sort of structure

2018-07-31 02:49:52 UTC  

Most of the classic books have been replaced. But there's enough they'll claim they respect the classic canon.

2018-07-31 02:50:16 UTC  

Its just more a negative sort of structure. In the sense of whats left

2018-07-31 02:50:49 UTC  

Have you guys seen the postmodern generator

2018-07-31 02:50:51 UTC  

Yeah i have a bud doing an english literature/education double major at the uni iblive by

2018-07-31 02:50:55 UTC  

Yes

2018-07-31 02:51:02 UTC

2018-07-31 02:51:11 UTC  

XD yeah its pretty funny

2018-07-31 02:51:27 UTC  

A student once got a paper peer reviewed, called "The conceptual penis"

2018-07-31 02:51:34 UTC  

it directly cited the post modern generator

2018-07-31 02:51:48 UTC  

And hes told me the horror stories of his SocJus class and the approach of most of his teachers

2018-07-31 02:52:03 UTC  

XD yeah ive seen that lol

2018-07-31 02:52:13 UTC  

One of my cousins had to take a "Feminist Poetry" class as a gen-ed requirement

2018-07-31 02:52:19 UTC  

Phallogocentrism strikes again!!!

2018-07-31 02:52:20 UTC  

She hated it, thank goodness

2018-07-31 02:53:08 UTC  

XD praise kuthuluuuu

2018-07-31 02:53:12 UTC  

Yeah, I *really* want to clean up the unis. The humanities have no purpose if they are only going to serve as a recruiting grounds for activists.

2018-07-31 02:54:00 UTC  

If there's no chance of getting a profitable job from a degree, or teaching something meaningful (because music is actually important, imo), then the degree should be scrapped

2018-07-31 02:54:01 UTC  

Yeah or to propagate fucking propaganda and misinformation

2018-07-31 02:55:04 UTC  

XD yeah good u threw that in for music or else thered be no need for music degrees lol

2018-07-31 02:55:24 UTC  

Good luck trying to find a music job out of a UNI lol its fucking hard

2018-07-31 02:55:31 UTC  

Well, that and my mother did music education for her first degree

2018-07-31 02:55:55 UTC  

She's told every one of her students to pursue a second degree alongside music

2018-07-31 02:56:20 UTC  

Better spend that time trying to find one than spend it doing a degree if you dont intend on working in a school of sorts

2018-07-31 02:56:41 UTC  

Wise lady

2018-07-31 02:56:59 UTC  

Unfortunately, her students haven't been so wise, historically.

2018-07-31 02:57:03 UTC  

Most haven't taken her advice

2018-07-31 02:57:53 UTC  

I mean. No offence to your mom but pursuing a degree in music isnt a sign of the sharpest cookie... This is coming from a musician too

2018-07-31 02:58:05 UTC  

Who plays professionally

2018-07-31 02:58:24 UTC  

If thats your only goal. In terms of getting the degree

2018-07-31 02:58:29 UTC  

Well, it's why she went back to school and got a Master's in Business

2018-07-31 02:58:41 UTC  

You gotta have the real long game in mind.

2018-07-31 02:59:10 UTC  

Yeah thats great XD defs the more lucrative part of the music industry

2018-07-31 02:59:54 UTC  

Lol theres way more fucking money in companies that make gear and manage groups than in being a musician

2018-07-31 02:59:58 UTC  

ms in businiss is afar more useful degree

2018-07-31 03:00:37 UTC  

tbh i feel college is a waste of time unless your going to learn something important like a STEM field

2018-07-31 03:01:00 UTC  

better to go to a trade school

2018-07-31 03:01:17 UTC  

and learn plumbing , electrician or something like that
