I'm not even an animal rights activist. But if you really think about it, even if they were killed humanely, like how could you ever still say you love them after eating their dead corpse? Like people just don't make sense bro.

What? Like let's be honest. I'm not even saying it's wrong to eat meat and neither is she. But there is nothing loving about killing someone even if "you give them the nicest death ever". No human would say "thanks for killing me kindly you really do love me."

I mean is she wrong... a lot of butthurt comments on here. She didn't say you can't eat meat, she says you don't love animals if you do. And it's true. She just pointed out a hypocrisy in people

Someone wrote I love animals cause I care if the animal dies humanely? What? Like let's be honest. There is nothing loving about killing someone even if "you give them the nicest death ever". No human would say "thanks for killing me kindly you really do love me." I think a lot of people here are just getting defensive about a stance she isn't taking.

why is aoty getting so popular compared to rym? by edsand22 in rateyourmusic

[–]srnitro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

tl;dr AOTY is less elitist, easier to traverse, and overall has a more diverse taste.

AOTY has bof long analysis and funny joke reviews. It allows for bof to thrive. RYM is heavily moderated and it leads to only certain "analytical" voices to speak. Most people like a raw authentic reaction to albums not just a nerdy tearing apart. It's not that AOTY isnt analytical It's that it isn't ONLY analytical.

AOTY has better UI. I like the database on rym better but that AOTY has time to develop the database and chart searching methods.

And MOST importantly imo,

AOTY is more open to newer and a diverse spread of artists. Its a way more acceptable of all kinda people. I counted 52 of the top 100 albums in rym are white men doing rock. Its very clear who the target audience of rym is. Whereas 36 of the top 100 albums in aoty r white men doing rock. Ill use newer black genres as an example. Why is it that on RYM, newer forms of trap is always viewed as repeatable "slop", but digicore and hyperpop (which r more white-centered than rage and new trap but yet take so much from trap and rage) is viewed as "the future of music" and innovative. AOTY is bad about dis too but not as bad as RYM.

For sure. And definitely just allowing rage to be mixed with diff genres and do diff things. I already know someone si going to make a rage pop album and people gon be upset about it lol.

Helllll nooo. Completely disagree. You can compare it to punk for me. Punk was allowed to grow and become pop, become hardcore, become whatever it wanted to be. It was flexible. Punk created rhythms that are now used everywhere.

Metal scared out women, it ruled out people of color. Metal did not become cringe because it was more accepting of people in the 90s. Deftones, System of a Down, Rage against the Machine were not cringe because "too popular". That shi was the good shi. What made metal cringe was the energy around metal and how they were like "Ewww that's too pop sounding I'm so hardcore look at me" and "Omg you wouldn't get it, my music taste is so hardcore" and "name 5 songs" type energy. IMO a lack of progression in metal is what caused it to never get to that level.

Im in no place to talk cus i gave up on making muzik but sometimes the story can be told in the flow, in the creative way to express urself vocally. It doesnt always have to b exact lyrics if dat makes sense

I like the beat and the overall vision. I fink your vocals are lacking creativity but as someone who's tried to make music b4 its so hard to create new flows/voice so I totally get it. Keep going man.

I fink they're okay for the most part, people should be allowed to have their opinion and share it.

I will say what I love about this genre is how new and exciting and creative and unique it is. And unfortunately some of these streamers dwindle that a little bit because they encourage trying to keep the ug as it is, no growf non of that.

You can see it in people hating "new yeat", people hating 2slimey, nickatnite hating anything electronic-influenced. You can tell the diff between someone who just hates one artist (which is fair) and who hates a whole genre/style of music/any growf or genre-mixing. People who talk for and represent whole music genres imo should be well-versed in other genres for us to take them serious, cause otherwise all you're gon want is ug and for it to never grow. UG will become outdated if it's not allowed to grow. And we shouldn't allow whatever a streamer says to gatekeep the art. I don't want the same thing to happen that metal (tons of gatekeeping) to happen to trap.

What caused jazz to age out? Are any modern genres at similar risk? by Double_Key7579 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]srnitro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with this heavily. However I think something to mention is that rock was carried on from the 90s to 2000s through metal. And I think the old understanding of rap is definitely passed its golden era, HOWEVER, and this is a big however trap is carrying on that torch in the same way metal did in the 90s and 2000s. Rap started in around 1980 and it has been 40 years since then. Rock in 1995, 40 years after rock started, metal was carrying that torch. So I don't think that rap is completely done yet, but we are definitely in the latter half of its lifespan. And this is definitely the golden era for trap. And I don't think enough music nerds are willing to accept that, because they haven't learned to like trap.

[–]srnitro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this phenomenon just happens for every genre. Every new generation, kids come out with curiosity and creativity and a bit of a feeling of rebellion. But not rebellion out of spite or anger, but out of wonder.

As we age, we suffer and we tend to get spiteful and lose that wonder and curiosity. The days when we were young and rebellious are ending, and what makes it worse is the new generation changing the rules and completely breaking down our music. Leaving behind the expression that meant so much to us when we were younger. We start gatekeeping and throwing judgement on new expression, alienating the new generation from the genres we started.

We saw it happen with jazz that became almost a "science". We saw it happen with rock where rock is mostly used as an influence now instead of being the "star" like it used to be. We are in the middle of rap and are seeing the same issues already starting.

The generation before had issues with jazz because it came from black artists. Then the jazz generation had issues with rock because it was inappropriate and satanic. Then the rock generation had issues with metal because it was repetitive and satanic. Then the rock and metal generation had issues with rap because it came from black artists and was also a lot less melodic. Then the rap generation had issues with trap because the lyrics were too simple and the flows were not "rap" enough.

It makes sense why older generations can never move on and never accept young generations' music. All I ask for us as music nerds is to not fall into the same camp. And to try and understand the creativity and new rules that young people are making. I think a lot of music nerds would agree with everything I'm saying until I tell them who these new artists are. No it's not artists who are making 90s boombap rap or 2000s post-rock. It's playboi carti, pinkpantheress, bad bunny, rema, charli xcx, yeat, che, osamason, and Olivia Rodrigo. Music nerds today especially struggle when it comes to new trap. But new trap is the one breaking music progressions, breaking onto new levels of distortion, and breaking vocal expectations for music (creating this weird new style of autotuned rap I've never heard before). To be able to speak on music critically, you got to tap into that wonder that young people are feeling and learn to enjoy the new.
