With this one, you can make actual songs.What happened?
I don’t get it. Five years ago we were told this girl was going to save pop music. She made an album where she blended art pop with trap, industrial and dark ambient. She was single-handedly usurping the control if the major labels. She is also extremely socially conscious and leftist, basically the zoomer Joan Baez. Now she’s only released one song in the past two years and it’s bland as hell. WhyDio
>be meMusic that gives you hope
Do you listen to anything that makes you keep your head up in hopes of a better tomorrow? Things have been turbulent in Brazil this year, and it'll only get even worse from here, regardless of the outcome of the election. I've been listening to communists songs lately, more specifically the Internationale, that gives me hope to keep fighting liberal and reactionary hegemony in the country.Has rap gone woke?
Back in the 90s and Bush years rappers loved conspiracy theories, the Nation of Islam, liberally using "faggot" and "uygha", indulged in virulent misogyny, etc. Even in the early Obama years Killer Mike was rapping:Boyd Rice and other (?)Nazi(?) Musicians
Can someone who is a fan or something explain what this guy's fucking deal is? Why is he releasing albums on major labels while prancing around with Wolfsangels and other pseudo-swastikas?Material analysis of XXXTentacion?

As an avid listener of metal, something that frustrates me is the prevalence of chuds and reactionaries in metal (especially black metal). The visibility of guys like Varg and Famine of Peste Noire infamy has colored the public perception of extreme metal as being the domain of edgelord fascists. What are some metal groups that could be said to be socialist, anarchist, or leftist in some manner?Experimental & avant-garde metal

I bought a new Kramer Baretta Special for 180 bucks to try to get back into guitar playing. It's been fun, but I'm running out of songs I want to learn. I like to be spontaneous by just picking up random songs that I might not have listened to on my own. Tell which song to learn please, it's your pick. I'm advanced enough I play pop,metal, rock, some jazz, but please don't say Polyphia or something that's going to blister the fuck outta me fingers.Bob Motherfucking Dylan

Music Sauce ThreadALL GENRES Gen Z
Is there more of a phenomenon of people listening to all/every genre or at least a ton of them? 20-30 years ago shit was a lot cliquish with punks, metalheads, hip hop fans, etc. having their own subcultures and people thought old music was cheesy. Now I notice zoomer listen to all genres and a ton even listen to old/boomer music without any reservations.contemporary classical thread (1945-present)

Time to share some of that most sophisticated music, you know what it is.Atari Teenage Riot
This band seems to have been a pretty big deal in their peak and they even have their own genre of music (digital hardcore), but I don't think I have ever heard anyone making music similar to them, were they an evolutionary dead-end? Why nobody else got successful with digital hardcore?David Rovics - Notes From A Holocaust

FUCK IT, cumbia threadRage Against the Machine
Underated spanish leftist album.
España de Hoy y de Siempre is an album made by Paco Ibañez out of several Góngora and Garcia Lorca poems. It goes about little stories in the context of the spanish civil war. This album is underated even between most of hispanics who listen to comunist/socialist/leftist music. Worst yet, even spanish people don't seem to give enough credit to this album and Paco Ibañez and I don't really get why. Highly recommended.Music that gets stuck in your head
What is the materialist explanation for music that gets stuck in your head always being songs you DON'T like? It's not that you get sick of it AFTER it's stuck in your head. It's always songs that you don't like to begin with.Catchy folk/ propaganda music.
No boring ass woody Guthrie singing about how sad it to be from Oklahoma while strumming his guitar. I want synthesisers, fast rhythms, weird ass instruments you’ve never heard before. I want shit that would make you want to get up and dance in your local town square with other third world peasants.post-punk, shoegaze, melodic experimentalism
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJhaQHUKWaI&ab_channel=Kirilovall music has been made?
I keep seeing videos about how "pop is dead" "hip hop is dead" and of course, the now venerable "rock is dead" and how catalog music is outselling new music and every record label is just surviving off the copyright for elvis and aging rock/pop stars from the 70s/80s. About how new music sales declining.MeToo: need help identifying this punk guitarist
With the outing of Justin Sane and several other big names in the punk movement I need help finding out who this one other abuser could be.Hip Hop is dead?
>To be clear, hip-hop is still the most listened-to genre of music by far, and it’s still growing. According to Luminate, it has a 26.8% share of U.S. recorded music consumption; the next closest genre is rock at 20%. But that hip-hop number was 27.7% in 2021 and reached a peak of 28.2% in 2020. After a heightened growth period in the 2010s, hip-hop’s growth has slowed down.young gen z music
Am I crazy for thinking younger Gen Z's have way different music tastes? Alot of zoomer girls like nu-grunge/punk like Olivia Rodrigo, or jersey club, or straight up pop i.e. Taylor Swift, etc. or Kpop. I think Old Gen Z was the last generation that really liked hip hop.Krautrock was anti-DDR propaganda?
I've seen this theory on 4/mu/ that krautrock was promoted by the British music press during the 70s to show the superiority of West Germany over East Germany, which is funny considering a lot of the bands were far-left themselves (CAN is an abbreviation for "communism, anarchism, nihilism").No war but class war.

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.Weird Psychedelic Hip Hop

I fucking hate spotifyGrunge
>Grunge (sometimes referred to as the Seattle sound) is an alternative rock genre and subculture that emerged during the mid-1980s in the American Pacific Northwest state of Washington, particularly in Seattle and nearby towns. Grunge fuses elements of punk rock and heavy metal, but without punk's structure and speed. The genre featured the distorted electric guitar sound used in both genres, although some bands performed with more emphasis on one or the other. Like these genres, grunge typically uses electric guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocals. Grunge also incorporates influences from indie rock bands such as Sonic Youth. Lyrics are typically angst-filled and introspective, often addressing themes such as social alienation, self-doubt, abuse, neglect, betrayal, social and emotional isolation, addiction, psychological trauma and a desire for freedom.Ph-ph-ph-phases

>Harry Belafonte, the effortlessly graceful singer credited with popularizing calypso in the U.S. in the 1950s who then marched at the forefront of the country’s civil rights struggle for half a century, died Tuesday, according to his spokesperson.Is Justin Timberlake done making serious music?
When I saw the Mario movie with my brother & a friend of his about a week ago, I saw a preview for yet another Trolls movie. Do you think Justin's tapping out with regard to serious studio releases? Man of the Woods (2018) had some goofy cuts like "Supplies" but you could at least consider that a genuine attempt of his at modern R&B (though The Weeknd basically had a monopoly on that for at least a year by that point).I love soviet military songs!
When I listen to old soviet post WW2 or revolutionary songs I just get goosebumps.Footwork/Juke/Baltimore club/Jersey Club

Denpa(電波) is a Japanese subculture characterized by bizarre and eerie themes. It originally began as a derogative term for mentally deranged behavior, but over the 1990s was adapted by otaku into their culture. In part, through artistic expression within manga, anime and visual novels, and also separately as a genre of cute and quirky music.DIY instruments

Post good music that makes you happy/Lowrider/
Music for posting lowrider music also known as Chicano Soul or really just 50s-60s Doo Wop. They call it Chicano Soul but most of the artists are black(especially when it comes to the oldies.) Mexicans in SoCal never stopped driving those sick old cars from that era, and when you're cruising in one of those old vintage beauties you an appropriate soundtrack. So lots of oldies and also a lot of throwback music has been coming out in the last few years.Songs that completely give you the opposite feeling/effect when listened to
