Cultural boycotts of Israel and pro-Israel artists is failing. The Instagram accounts Zionists in Film, Zionists in Music, etc, are constantly sperging out about how when you give money to X artist you're giving money to Zionists. But it's all reductive because the entertainment industry is run by Zionists, and normie proles aren't going to give up their entertainment for Palestine and start listening to Hezb nasheeds instead. A case in point of a Zionist artist who keeps winning is the rapper The Alchemist. Rap fans love him, and his tracks are lit af, so his relationships with Israeli genocidaires doesn't matter. He's even collaborating with Mos Def, a longtime leftist.

Post music to cry to.

jannies are proven time and time again certified retards.

A thread for my favorite kind of music. Chill RnB, Soft Rock, Jazz.

You are now entering the chill zone. Spacey sounds, slow BPMs, beautiful voices and harmonies will bless you.

Because it's suppressing musical creativity and many musicians get unfaily accused of plagiarizing e.g. Ed Sheeran's court case with Marvin Gaye estate.
Change my mind.
Pro-tip: you can't, I'm right.

Post what you're currently listening to

This past year's "beef" between Kendrick Lamar and Drake was nothing more than a contrived plot in order to distract the masses from the genocide in Gaza. Both rappers are signed to labels which are under the umbrella of UMG which is owned by ultra-Zionist Lucian Grainge. Every stream from Kendrick's music is being used to fund Zionist genocide of Palestinians. But this goes far deeper and I'm entirely convinced Kendrick Lamar is being covertly funded and propped up by the CIA.

Starting in the 1940s the CIA launched the Congress for Cultural Freedom, a think-tank designed to channel funds into the anti-Soviet left. They funded intellectuals, musicians and artists who appeared "leftist" but were actually anti-Marxist and anti-proletarian. This included propping up hideous and meaningless modern "art" as a means of alienating the working-class from the arts and ensuring art could only be appreciated by pompous cultured elites.

There is zero doubt in my mind the CIA has been behind the rise of hip hop for this exact same reason. Hip hop is primarily an anti-working class genre of "music," made by the black lumpenproletariat AKA the criminal underclass. Marx pointed out how the lumpen are an adversary of the genuine working-class, used by the elite classes to offset class struggle. The lumpen in no way threaten the power of cultured elites, hence why they use the lumpen as a substitute revolutionary subject. The Ivory Tower loves and pushes hip hop for this exact reason.

Now Kendrick has been receiving an unbelievable number of accolades for the past 12 years. He's won a Pulitzer Prize and upheld as the greatest cultural icon of recent history. Why? Because as American workers are starting to rise up, CIA-backed intellectuals promote rap as a way to offset any true proletarian culture from emerging.

Frank Zappa appearing on the Mike Douglas Show (28. October 1976)
Music starts at 3:30

Here he is playing "Black Napkins" with the Mike Douglas Show house band.

My taste in music is extremely under developed/"uncultured"/shallow because I struggle with music alot. I can only listen to music if I'm doing a activity, it I sit down and try to listen I feel genuine pain, which makes it hard for me to pay attention to lyrics.

It's also hard to pay attention to the lyrics since:
1) They never feel worth it to pay attention to, especially the more a song sounds good, (for some reason it seems like no song can accomplish both). Ex: I had a genuine terrible time with rage against the machine and Daughters because the sound completely negated any enjoyment I had paying attention to their lyrics.
2) It seems like when listening to a song, all you're actually suppose to do is feel and not think about it much, basically the song being nothing but a vibe machine, (I'm basing this off of a study where 70% of people listen to music to just remember the past). Which is extremely contradictory to how people talk about music, (especially music nerds).

So is there any ultra master peace albums/songs you guys can recommend that can completely change my opinion? To make it easy to recommend, I mostly listen to anime and video game music, with random pop songs here and there.

Am I the only one who thinks the white working-class is becoming more and more alienated from the arts?

The arts, especially mainstream music, have fully become the product of the elite liberal class and the lumpen/lower criminal class which is ideologically and financially propped up by the elite liberal class. What’s now considered “good” music is music that’s specifically catered to pretentious “cultured” people like the professional-managerial class. Genuine working-class values of hard work, patriotism, family and Christian morality are nearly absent.

The only music that allegedly talks about the hardships working people face is rap, which isn’t even made by proletarians but by the black lumpen, for the black lumpen AKA the criminal underclass. Marx pointed out how the lumpen are an adversary of the genuine working-class, used by the elite classes to offset class struggle. Plus black people are only 13% of the population yet Black music which only speaks to the experiences of black people is way over represented in media. Music that expresses the grievances of white working people or people in Middle America isn’t given the same exposure. Country music has become nothing more than pop with the same themes of social liberalism.

Back in the day there existed musicians like Woodie Guthrie and Pete Seeger, actual proletarians who were members of the Communist Party who made songs about the struggles of actual proletarians in America. They didn’t sing about killing police or fucking bitches but about working-class solidarity. Now that we’ve entered a time when capitalism is on the verge of collapse, inflation is gripping the American family, wages still aren’t paying enough and America is losing its power in the global stage you’d think a Guthrie-type figure would emerge. But nothing of the sort exists. Oliver Anthony was a fluke whose 15 minutes of fame are long over.

Anyone else feel the same way?
