Why is there so much nerd music here?

I just think you're jealous cause Asians have little peckers.

So what makes it music when we throw out musical rules and apply our own?

What doesn't? Or more interesting, what makes it "nerd" music?

This goofball from college the other day played me some techno band whose music flows to mathmatical plotting of various animals DNA structure. Needless to say, it sucked!

Actually, my point was more "who writes the musical rules". Nobody I know, for sure.

It's been defined as
1 The art of arranging sounds in time so as to produce a continuous, unified, and evocative composition, as through melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre.
2 Vocal or instrumental sounds possessing a degree of melody, harmony, or rhythm.

When people say "That's not music", I assume it's because it lack's the definition criteria. But it's definately subjective, as you are getting at.

In my opinion, noise that follows the rhythm of a organism's DNA structure, does not fit the definition
of music lol..

I suggest rules to be broken at all times. that's how revolutions take place. swing was a rule broken like 80 years ago if I'm not mistaken. now it's a rule / a classic. who know what kind of f**ked up shit we'll have to listen to in 50 years. can't even imagine. I try to though

Actually its not really important who wrote them. Most of them came from practical application. Thousands of years of drumming gave us rhythm, a few thousand years of singing gave us melody. Humans wrote the rules over thousands of years through oral tradition and practice. Saying noone wrote the rules is like saying noone wrote the code of morals that keeps us from murdering, raping, and stealing from eachother.

My question is if you rewrite the rules, do you have some sort of obligation to musical fundementals?

See, the textbook definiton fails to support you. It's the interpretation of it which makes it subjective.

When people say "that's not music" they usually have no clue what the textbook says. They just don't like what they hear. Which is fine - but it's like calling a modern painting "not a painting" just because I don't like it.

Ok, nuff nitpicking. I'm in the mood for it so I better log off now.

Exactly my point. Nobody wrote the code of morals, they have evolved over many millenia and differs from city block to city block.

And no, there are no musical fundamentals. There are different kinds of music theory but they do not necessarily agree (I should know...I have a Bachelor of Music Performance and spent every day from 8-10 doing music theory until it came out of every orifice). So who would I answer to if I broke (whomever's) musical laws?

And BTW what sounds good in theory may sound horrible in practice, because a performance is often also involved - not just the composition. So what one person would classify as nerdy becomes another person's Gabriel's oboe.

Is this adressed at me? Are you really that curious about penis length or is this an attempt to amuse youself by humiliating an entire race of people?

Do you think you will be admired by people by demeaning them?

Will you spend the next 20 miniutes thinking of a comeback to make your life less empty by winning a fight that no one but you cares about?

Yes, he really is.
