Tired of minimal
anyone else tired of minimal and all that clicky, deep and wannabe meaningfull, "intellegint", pretentious music?
i know i am...
Cool, so don't listen to it.
I'm tired of people who limit the scope of what they enjoying hearing to one genre, then getting "tired" of said genre, and creating threads searching for a new genre or sound that they will eventually tire of and post yet another "Tired of..." thread.
It's a vicious cycle some of you folks get locked into here.

I recommend starting out by searching all genres besides "minimal"
..although, you will most likely miss out on alot of good minimal tracks which you obviously havn't heard, as this thread would not exist otherwise...
You shouldn't be listening to minimal in the first place, it's a load of bollocks - minimal to me means lazy.
Of course there are a few exceptions, but the vast majority of minimal is shite.

Yeah these "tired of" threads are really bullshit, like someone is forced to listen to anything in the first place. People have habits that lead to results that do not please them and then they go make "tired of" threads to try and convince themselves that the problem is external. I'm gonna start eating pizza everyday and two weeks from now i'm gonna start a tired of pizza thread and see if anybody agrees on that pizza is shit and not that i'm an idiot.

| Originally posted by RickyM It's my opinion though that minimal is crap |
the basic channel sound. the hawtin sound. the alan oldham sound. that's proper minimal
so many replys.
well i agree with RJT on the answer of the why question!
First of, im very obsessive about music, sometimes its even more that music to me, might sound stupid but music for me is a guide thru life.
I have to learn, not to let music influence me this much.
to be honest the influence that minimal had on me just started to become clearer and clearer. At least i believe that the music that a person is listening to influences them alot (i believe in it, others might not ), be it behaviour, view on life and the thinking mode.
i just realised that minimal music is not for me, it just doesnt do me any good...
and regarding good music, i listen to different music aswell
i didnt want to offend anyone with my thread, im not saying that its shit music or anything (there are some very very awesome tunes ot there)im just saying that this music just isnt for me.
Just wanted to exchange thoughts with people who might have the same feeling about it

I can't stand most minimal-techy tracks, but its the "genre" i listen to the most at the moment...

Maybe just take a break from listening to it then go back to it. I love 'minimal' stuff, all of it including the 90's tracks right through to modern-day.
It was about 80% of the stuff I listened to at the beginning of the year. I stepped back and had a little drum n bass phase which I enjoyed and still do. I'm getting back into the minimal stuff now though. However i'd say probably 40% of what I listen to now is minimal. I feel better for my music taste because of taking a breather and checking out more stuff as variety is a wonderful thing.
One mix that has blown my mind only tonight in fact was hearing a Tim Xavier (Afternoon Coffee Boys) mix from 30-10-2006 titled Zombie Mix. Just try the more obscure stuff like netlabels, Archipel etc. Theres a lot of quality out there.
