So in the end, listening to anything is OK, but people need to stop pretending it matters, or that their particular musical tastes matter, or worse, have some deep significance and meaning from a spiritual point of view
Because it doesn't
Is any art significant in any way?
god that shit is cringe as fuck
jesus
The world is today split roughly in two halves - conformist and non-conformist
when lg petrov
makes the wolverine hands
And as far as music goes, borders between these two worlds don't exist
rofl
when uffe bangs the guitar against his leg during the breakdown
whe ntehy duel guitars
literally
like pool noodles
So I can pretend that metal or psy trance is non-conformist but it isn't
Is there any art that's significant or valuable in any way?
Valuable yes, significant, from the perspective of "grand order of things" no
Music is just a description of things which can be significant. I agree that the music itself isn't significant
But it can be a pointer
It's still a good conduit
And that's why it is strange how people appreciate it more than they do what's behind art
Music is good at communicating and describing certain things that other languages aren't as good at
Yes, like sounds
What?
Do languages like English describe words?
They don't. They use words to describe ideas
Music uses sound waves and rhythm patterns to create pleasant melodies
Poetry can have pleasant rhythms and sounds, too
Yes, when read aloud
Death is a phonetically pleasing word, but it also represents an idea.
oh god
even wrose
worse
somehow
Melodies are the same
Just like I can come up with a meaningless word that sounds pretty, I can come up with a melody just for the sake of it sounding pretty
that doesn't mean that I can't do more
My best shot is that music sparks creativity and curiosity
