Dance music is really chocolate fudge.
Rock music is really that moss you get in the garden on a grass-less patch after it rained a long time.
Pop music is really that discolouration in the toilet bowl, if you don't bother cleaning your toilet.
A banana is really a table cloth.
Really.

"Many subgenres of electronic dance music have evolved. Subgenres of house include acid house, electro house, hard house, funky house, deep house, tribal house, hip house, tech house and US garage. Subgenres of drum & bass include techstep, hardstep, jump-up, intelligent D&B/atmospheric D&B, liquid funk, sambass, drumfunk, neurofunk and ragga jungle. Subgenres of other styles include progressive breaks, rave breaks, booty bass, Goa trance, hard trance, hardstyle, minimal techno, gabber techno, breakcore, broken beat, trip hop, folktronica and glitch. Speed garage, breakstep, 2-step, bassline, grime, UK funky, future garage and the reggae-inspired dubstep are all subgenres of UK garage."

I almost wonder if VI had a music lawyer sitting next to him while he was interviewed -
A viable question might then be: Are there those who are so astute to the intra-genre differences, that not only can they tell, but they can also accurately play each style? It would be interesting to hear each distinct flavor, even if it's ultimately just a matter of a few degrees of separation -

I just was playing around.
I'm no musical genius, but I've had a bit of training. Not trying to snob it up, but it really does get under my skin that people that make music that has very little variance (if any at all) is so wildly popular.
Learn to play piano or guitar and play a solo, BANNED FOR LIFE. Make perfectly quantized absolute repeat beat, musical genius. I don't get it.
Nothing wrong with dance music. I make it. I like it. But the idea that it's this deep pool with such amazing intricacy doesn't do it for me.
Now, GET OFF MY LAWN!!!!!!!!

There's no such thing as real music.
Everything you know about music, life and all its splendid technicolor fish is just subjective perception.
And let's be fair, you're a pretty messed up guy.
By the way, that's you. Yes you. Right now, reading this post.
I mean, do you think these comments are real? It's just your mind playing more tricks on you, trying to make sense out of strangely placed symbols which don't actually exist.
I don't exist. KVR doesn't exist either. Do you exist?
And maybe you think I'm the mad one.
Maybe you think you're not messed up at all?
Well, here's what your mind currently thinks is real music.

Psytrance is the real music, everything else is bollocks.

Basically everything I like is psytrance, sometimes it is erroneously cathegorised by other people as lounge, blues, samba or classical music but in the essence it's all psytranceAyorinde wrote:So, after10,000 years of musical evolution we end up with Psytrance.recursive one wrote:Psytrance is the real music, everything else is bollocks.

Fun stuff!
Subtopical question: What music constitutes art?
Art Music:
"There have been continual attempts throughout the history of popular music to make a claim for itself as art rather than as popular culture, and a number of music styles that were previously understood as "popular music" have since been categorized in the art or classical category. According to the academic Tim Wall, the most significant example of the struggle between Tin Pan Alley, African American, vernacular and art discourses was in jazz. As early as the 1930s, artists attempted to cultivate ideas of "symphonic jazz", taking it away from its perceived vernacular and black American roots. Following these developments, histories of popular music tend to marginalize jazz, partly because the reformulation of jazz in the art discourse has been so successful that many people today will not consider it a form of popular music.
In the second half of the 20th century, there was a large-scale trend in American culture in which the boundaries between art and pop music became increasingly blurred. Beginning in 1966, the degree of social and artistic dialogue among rock musicians dramatically accelerated for bands who fused elements of composed music with the oral musical traditions of rock. During the late 1960s and 1970s, progressive rock bands represented a form of crossover music that combined rock with high art musical forms either through quotation, illusion, or imitation. Progressive music may be equated with explicit references to aspects of art music, sometimes resulting in the reification of rock as art music.
While progressive rock is often cited for its merging of high culture and low culture, few artists incorporated literal classical themes in their work to any great degree, as author Kevin Holm-Hudson explains: "sometimes progressive rock fails to integrate classical sources ... [it] moves continuously between explicit and implicit references to genres and strategies derived not only from European art music, but other cultural domains (such as East Indian, Celtic, folk, and African) and hence involves a continuous aesthetic movement between formalism and eclecticism."
