Silly differentiation imo, i mean even if it is hip-hop - he 'raps' in the song...and Lupe is more Rap than T-pain anyway. |
You're helping me prove my point lol |

Seriously if this trash is music, then what isn't.
Though I suppose if you're completely tone deaf and have absolutely no sense of rhythm then all music could be to you is either lyrics or interesting noises.. in the case of the latter the more complex the noise the better... still doesn't make it music to me. |
That's the spirit! Well, sort of. The idea behind Merzbow's work is quite interesting: He tries to make music without melody and rhythm, so to speak, in order to undermine the foundations of what music is supposed to be.
But, I must agree with you: I can endure prog for a whole hour, but I don't think I could listen to noise for that long. |

Tru dat. Do you appreciate this stuff though? I know a few people that do.. and honestly I don't know how to. I automatically try to appreciate it as music.. which is futile. If I try to appreciate it as just pure abstraction to the power of nihilism then I get bored very quickly. |

It's one of the very few genres of EDM I simply can't stand. And I listen to both Happy Hardcore AND Power Noise, mind you. |

Yes.
It may be true that it's impossible to like if you approach it as music, though. :p |

Yeah I'm a bit old fashioned when it comes to music/art.. I think there has to be a certain level of mastery/skill to it and it should communicate something.. I'm not convinced that if you left a random unskilled person of reasonable intelligence in a studio for a day that he couldn't come up with something indistinguishable from a merzbow track.
After a while all this "undermining" stuff becomes wankery imo. It sort of loses it's purpose.
"i splattered some paint on the floor in a dark room and told no one about it undermining the very definition of art.."
It's like.. congratulations you succeeded in not making art.. pretty much what I succeed in every time I go to the toilet.. and interestingly both activities achieve similar results! |
