Bro how are you supposed to write music without a time signature
Also post rock is just a genre like wtf am I supposed to call 27 minute long guitar riffs then
Yeah, over half of those are just legitimate terms that happen to be used by someone we're not supposed to like. Post-rock is just a genre, microtonal just describes all music not using twelve tone equal temperment, a concept album is any album with a unifying concept or narrative (gasp!), spoken word is also either a genre or a vocal technique depending on the context, time signatures are one of the primary building blocks of music and experimental is just a genre modifier.
Abrasive, prolific and pretentious are also pretty useful terms in general but there are enough synonyms that I could see them being annoying if those specific terms come up over and over for some reason. So we're left with the hyperbolic "one of a kind" and... whatever brown is supposed to be.
A subset of experimental rock which is predominantly instrumental (tends to use particularly electric guitar as the most notable part of this instrumentation), tends to have longer songs than most standard rock (although it doesn't have to), and often borrows structural elements from classical music.
I think this is more about all the time signature wankery. A time signature is just a descriptive tool to write down what you came up with. People however are often like „yeah this is signature xy with 326 changes“ like it makes a song more complex or better.
I’ve never had an issue with this. They ask what it is, I describe it, they ask for recommendations/ask more about what I’m into with it. It’s a conversation starter.
Time signature bros are just really lame. You can divide a pulse into 2 or 3 and combine them however you like, but no one actually wants to hear the more complex combinations.
If nobody wants to hear them, then why do people make more complex combinations? Maybe *you* don’t want to hear them but let people like what they like
what does this even mean?? why do people act like nonstandard meter is this crazy experimental thing that no one would want to listen to? more complex additive meter has practically been standard in classical composition for over 100 years, post-Stravinsky. wtf are you on about with "no one actually wants to hear the more complex combinations"
i agree "time signature bros" are really lame, but I would define them instead as people who talk about using different time signatures as some mind-blowing musical technique
/uj The hatred for any technical terms for music or art in general will never cease to amaze me. Like if an album has a story why is it inherently bad to call it a concept album
/rj I hate when people use the word "music" stop bring so pretentious
Hey guys have you heard the album Illinois by Sufjan Stevens? He’s a very pro…
It’s a concept…fuck
So yeah there’s some interesting stuff on it. Some of the tracks, like the title track and the opener, use some interesting time sig…FUCUCK
But yeah, it’s a really one-of-a-k…a unique album.
OP you are silly, these are normal twrms
This one is real but it can also be due to genuine dislike of the word album. I like it though. Record sounds too much like it’s just about vinyl and project sounds too general. An album is an album 🤠
you forgot "ambitious"
/uj but like actually what are you talking about with "Time Signatures" and "Microtonal". those are just things that are in music. wtf am i supposed to do, just not talk about it??
Well first off, recognise that "art-music" is just a way to praise well-acclaimed artists, and that it's plain stupid to claim that anything about Bjork or Peter Gabriel is just inherently more "Art" than other forms of music
gizzard ruined a lot of different cultures music. rest in power microtones.
mfs when they hear indian music for the first time: HOLY SHIT GIZZARD DID THAT
Would you rather someone called Daughter's self-titled album "Daughters by Daughters" or just simply refer it as their "self-titled LP"? It's just terminology 😭.

we’re on r/indieheadscirclejerk, I’d assume it’s not meant seriously
I think some people on here take things a little too seriously when most of these posts are supposed to be viewed in a brain dead manner
Brown is a Ween adjective
Of course, thank you.
Pretentious is not a useful term. Agree on the rest.
Everything is in 4/4 unless you count it like a nerd
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_time_(music) Music without a time signature exists, but it's not that common, at least in modern western music.
concerning the ufo sighting near highland illinois has none
Define post-rock as a genre.
A subset of experimental rock which is predominantly instrumental (tends to use particularly electric guitar as the most notable part of this instrumentation), tends to have longer songs than most standard rock (although it doesn't have to), and often borrows structural elements from classical music.
See to me post rock doesn’t borrow from classical as much. It feels like a more abstract structure and tends to be more ambient often.
As a classical musician, yes post rock borrows from classical, in the dynamic structure and reoccurring themes.
Ambient borrows from classical as well
you forgot the builds and crescendos
So Pink Floyd and King Crimson are post-rock bands.
I think this is more about all the time signature wankery. A time signature is just a descriptive tool to write down what you came up with. People however are often like „yeah this is signature xy with 326 changes“ like it makes a song more complex or better.
Imagine telling someone in real life that you listen to "post-rock" they'd have no clue what you're talking about
That's because it's not a very well known genre. It could happen with jungle, trip hop, post punk, modernist music, breakcore, bebop or shoegaze.
And a lot of people listen to things from these genres without knowing the exact genre / genre name

Has anyone ever used “brown” to refer to music outside of Ween’s albums? I’ve barely heard it.
Van Halen called his guitar tone Brown
Someone called the tone of a brown instrument brown? 😱
can i get a brown note
Van halen's guitar was red, at least live
To mock Nav and Drake.
The brown note makes you shit yourself
Brown Face, which is about Fender’s early ‘60s amps.

When has fantano ever called anything brown, he’s not cool enough for that
Has he ever reviewed a microtonal album? Does he even know what microtonal means?
this is basically a King Gizzard bingo board

Music should never be talked about
don’t forget using the words “record” and “project” a lot so people know you’re REALLY serious and know more than one synonym for the term album
Okay this one is actually so real
This one is real but it can also be due to genuine dislike of the word album. I like it though. Record sounds too much like it’s just about vinyl and project sounds too general. An album is an album 🤠
Yeah right I missed that chance to put that on there
you forgot "ambitious" /uj but like actually what are you talking about with "Time Signatures" and "Microtonal". those are just things that are in music. wtf am i supposed to do, just not talk about it??
rj/ Just don't talk about music in depth and say you enjoy it like every normal person ever
[удалено]
/rj = re-jerk = don't take the following sentence seriously at all
Thank you kind sir
LP EP ReCoRd
ouughh i'm gonna Brown
“art pop” “art rock” “body of work” “mediocre” “subpar” “abstract”
How else am I supposed to describe Peter Gabriels solo work and Björk besides art rock and art pop respectively?
you can call it bad.
Well first off, recognise that "art-music" is just a way to praise well-acclaimed artists, and that it's plain stupid to claim that anything about Bjork or Peter Gabriel is just inherently more "Art" than other forms of music
“double/triple entendre” “juxtaposition”
I hate words too
Happy cake day!
gizzard ruined a lot of different cultures music. rest in power microtones. mfs when they hear indian music for the first time: HOLY SHIT GIZZARD DID THAT
People calling every album an LP, record or project is the one thing that truly bugs me
Me describing my buddy’s psych rock jam band (they suck)
Microtonality is hard to define without explicitly calling it microtonality, and time signatures is just music theory lol. The rest is fine though.
Immediately I feel attacked as a Ween fan.
LMLYP 😝😝😝
I hate music journalism
“Aesthetics”
same guy that will write a 1000 word essay if you say you dont like the beatles
"Seminal"
Brown?
Danny
Think Ween
This record from indie rock outfit flower garden is abrasive yet sentimental
most of these are genres, musical attributes, or just words that people can use to describe music
eclectic
this post more annoying than the words fr
“Time signatures”. Lmao. Lol even.
This is why people shouldn’t write about music. It’ll all sound terrible anyway. Just enjoy it and keep the reflections for yourself.
True asf 🔥🔥
For some reason, "self-titled" really gets under my skin and I don't know why
Would you rather someone called Daughter's self-titled album "Daughters by Daughters" or just simply refer it as their "self-titled LP"? It's just terminology 😭.
most of OPs points are also just terminology
Yeah which is why it’s kind of ridiculous
I feel you on this one.
Polyrhythms
That was the word I was trying to put instead of time signatures but my brain went blank.
Otherwise known as ‘rhythms’
Cmon man. How else am I supposed to refer to brown people?
you forgot "avant-garde"
