Same with Ghost

kitnaht , in Everything means everything

I'm a "I listen to everything except Country and Ska" friend.

LightTrails ,

*modern pop country. Waylon, Willie, Loretta, Dolly and the like are alright with me.

kitnaht ,

I'm the opposite. I can stand some of the modern pop country, but I can't stand whiny old country.

Crashumbc ,

You can't relate to your pick up not starting?

PapaStevesy ,

That's modern pop country

Tobberone ,

Which with the self driving* cybertruck has been upgraded to "my truck left me..."

As for music, some of that bland mainstream pop...

kitnaht ,

Legit, I am still waiting for the country song where the girl runs off with his cybertruck...

BakerBagel ,

Nothing whiny about Johnny Cash stealing car parts from Cadillac

kitnaht ,

Touche!

There are some fine young lads in checkered flat caps and suspenders who would like to have a word with you.

Theharpyeagle ,

I still don't listen to much country, but Orville Peck has been a gateway drug. Something about gay cowboy ballads does it for me.

Hoyt Axton - The Devil

kitnaht ,

I mean, even for a country song that was just kinda...I dunno. It feels like with some changes it could be good, but there's this weird part where the wording feels like it skips a beat because he couldn't get the beat to synchronize with the cadence of the words. I'll listen to a lot of country, but there's still gonna just be bad songs.

systemglitch ,

Interesting. I'm not a big country fan, but that song is nearly perfect to me.

kitnaht ,

Around 1:03, he completely breaks cadence and the whole rhythm of the song breaks. I don't know how this could be considered good. Regardless of it being country or not.

systemglitch ,

That's music for you. I think that transition is excellent.

Reminds me of listening to my non-buffering CD player on the bus ride to school.

I'd argue that nobody could call this music in the way that normal people understand what music is. It feels like an experiment in sound more than anything.

A common definition I just looked up on "Music" is:

vocal, instrumental, or mechanical sounds having rhythm, melody, or harmony

There is none of those in what you've linked. No rhythm, no melody, and nothing harmonious.

So no, it doesn't fit the definition of Music; therefore, I probably wouldn't listen to it. I did sample other of the artists tracks like Wat Dong Moon Lek, Himalaya, Ahirya, and all of his pieces are like this. They aren't really music.

Emerald ,

It's interesting to me how different people interpret what music means to them. To me I would call this music as it fits the definition of melody

A pleasing succession or arrangement of sounds.

Of course that is subjective to everyone. To me Carl Stone's tracks do have a beautiful melody. To others they feel chaotic, and to some they feel minimalist.

kitnaht , (edited )

A melody (from Greek μελῳδία (melōidía) 'singing, chanting'),[1] also tune, voice or line, is a linear succession of musical tones that the listener perceives as a single entity.

The problem here is with the compositions absolute randomness of nature. It sounds exactly like what was being produced by computers, before some of the more advanced audio models came about. It doesn't sound like any kind of single entity, and it would be nearly impossible for anyone to distinguish it from random sounds.

In a cacophony of random elements, I couldn't hear this song. But I could hear most others without issue. It doesn't meet the sniff test.

The melodies existing in most European music written before the 20th century, and popular music throughout the 20th century, featured "fixed and easily discernible frequency patterns", recurring "events, often periodic, at all structural levels" and "recurrence of durations and patterns of durations".

All of which this lacks. It simply doesn't meet the definition of music. Though I bet it's a great source of inspiration for those experimenting with music themselves. Honestly, I had to load it up in YouTube to make sure the web-based music player wasn't glitching out or something; it was bad enough as "music" that I thought something was wrong with the computer.

But I'll just kindly agree to disagree - if you enjoy it, great. I just wouldn't even consider this music and would immediately ask for music to be put on.

Lifebandit666 ,

I've got a death metal style Less Than Jake t-shirt to confuse you

kitnaht ,

I love death metal tbh.

Hobbes_Dent , in It's like magic

I used to play Mario Kart with that on repeat.

I had a cousin who did this, also played Kenny Loggins - Highway to the Danger Zone, during Starfox 64.

Rusty , in Dragonforce

I don't think Dragonforce is universally hated. Are you mixing them up with Imagine Dragons?

zipzoopaboop ,

God imagine dragons are awful

Olap , in Party Cannon

Local band for me. They kick ass live, bringing the party for sure

MummifiedClient5000 ,

Sure, they bring the party. But do they bring the cannon?

Kowowow , in "...to learn how to love, and forget how to hate"

When ever I hear crazy train that I know is wrong but I can't not hear "ruin my souffle" and then at the end of there's the laughing bit it sounds like it's ahahaha eggs! instead of yes

ChihuahuaOfDoom , (edited ) in Dragonforce

Because people suck? Also you a word.

Smoogs ,

Missing a word when you already understood..I don’t think it was doing the damage.

Olap , in Dragonforce

Dragonforce rule!

PsychologicalCannabis , in Dungeon Synth

actress from 'The Office' says 'They're the same picture'

Richard Simmons rocks at least as hard as that flaming skeleton, in his own unique ways.

NOW! YOU! HAVE! SOMETHING! TO DIE FOR!!!!!

Classy ,

Goddamn I was literally just listening to them an hour ago

Thcdenton ,

How very classy of you

remotelove , in Party Cannon

Every time I see this poster here, I am going to post a picture from the last concert I went to.

It doesn't seem like they are coming through Denver again for a while. :(

numbermess , in Toronto, it's worse than Sweden.

I stopped watching TV when I was six months old
Because it was so boring and stupid
And started reading books
And going to recitals
And art galleries

I don't go to recitals anymore
Because my hearing is too sensitive
And I don't go to art galleries anymore
Because there are people there
And I can't deal with people
Because they don't understand me

I stay home
Reading books that are beneath me
And working on my work
Which no one understands

I am sensitive
I am a sensitive artist

I woke up this morning with a bad hangover, and my penis was missing again.
This happens all the time, it's detachable.

Goddamnit that's perfect

WereCat , in Everything means everything

When I say "everything" I mean that I don't have a specific list of genres I listen to. I can listen to any kind of music as long as it's to my liking and it does not matter if it's dead metal or k-pop or classical... Every genre has a lot of stuff I like and a lot of stuff I hate.
