-The "best" of 8/mu/
I'll update this since 8archive.moe starts working. I'll also add some more threads, like the first ARF thread.
How does it make you feel, knowing that the best metal song ever produced, is coming from the brony community?
Rich storytelling in lyrics, actual chord progressions instead of going two or at most three chord retarded and playing the boring riff ad infinitum regardless of the chord simultaneously being played, and surprisingly clear production — it's produced by a complete amateur, yet he's done a way better job than any of the big pop-metal studios (metalheads will be triggered by this term).
Really tells you something about the genre, and the people making it.
give me the absolute craziest, most epic music you've ever heard
some crazy noise doom metal act with breakbeats or some apocalyptic electronic, give me a soundtrack to the apocalypse, but not post apocalypse, as in no F#A#, something fast and thrashing and epic and monstrous
give me soul crushing, world shaking, anything, and no Swans either, already heard their entire discography, heavy metal without annoying up front vocals that rob from the instrumentation would be ideal, but i've stopped caring about screamo vocals a whie ago
Okay, /mu/, my normalfag mom and sister are dragging me to Universal Florida for sister's Spring Break next week, and I'm probably riding pic related at least three times.
For those who don't know this ride's gimmick, you're supposed to pick from this list of uber-pleb pop/disco/rap shit, country, dad rock, and 90s electronica:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood_Rip_Ride_Rockit#Musical_selections
Yet the ride has a hidden feature where you can enter a code that plays a hidden track, but then you don't get recorded on video the whole time, as various talk show hosts have done: https://archive.is/YoFHR
While still plebian in absolute terms, much of the list looks like it's immensely better for listening on a rollercoaster for 97 seconds.
Dubs decides which three songs out of either list that I will listen to on this ride. Requests for repeats will be ignored, but you don't have to use both lists.
Music is vapid bullshit for people who want to be different but don't care how so how they're "different" is completely nondescript and just comes off as tacky bullcrap. And it's only reiterating itself and getting worse as time goes on as you retards get into a oneupsmanship of looking more and more nondescript.
You people probably think you're better than reddit because you're more foregone. Which is idiot, you're just more diluted with insufferable hipster bullcrap. Having a bigger tumor doesn't make it better.
99.99% of music is either stylized and worthless going beyond that or they have no style and what they do is so bland that it's amazing they've created a full length album. About what is usually ambiguous and the song titles are basically meaningless.
It's so dry that when you get something with some kind of interesting twist / polish it's literally lauded as "10/10" and then comes the minigenre following in its footsteps from people assuming that making music like that automatically makes it good. Which is the hipster movement in a nutshell, making a building that looks like the eiffel tower that's bright purple and made out of popsicle sticks doesn't make it good.
It's like they looked at deep music, took away that dry and underwhelming = deep and tried to mimic it but just made something that kept the worst of both worlds. Pop music is the inverse of this where the only good thing about it was that it was fun to listen to but now it's just dry and annoying.
You're just insufferable losers and that's all you'll ever be. I don't care what boilerplate response you give me, the only rebuttal you people have is humor but you've been ironically doing it for so long you've forgotten that you're mocking yourself.
Thanks for reading. Now fuck off.

David Bowie dies at the age of 69.
Seems official since it's on all his official sites and his album just released only 2 days ago. Very sad times ahead.

Japanese Weeaboo Techno
http://rateyourmusic.com/genre/J-core/
Are any avid listeners of the aforementioned umbrella of various subgenres lurking around here? Often known as j-core as in hardcore techno, but it's more like a scene with various genres. Consisting of stuff like trance, happy hardcore, speedcore, gabber, makina, hardstyle, wubstep, dnb and some other (chipmunk vocals, touhou covers, harsh noises galore). I consider this a guilty pleasure like listening to italo-disco. However what ties all this together is the fast tempo. To me this stuff is very enjoyable when I'm spun.
Here's some examples:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_zOdZrg4Og

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8oBbgIDQ_Mk

This is still a very young genre and majority of the releases can be found from rutracker in complete label packs.
Favorite Synthwave

>Lazerhawk
It just feels like true 80's/90's movie tunes, it's got that vibe and progression that incites the images of old 80's films in your head
favorite song by him is easily Overdrive, from Redline
mostly becauseo f that sick fucking solo it makes my dick hard

PC Music
So I think I finally figured out what PC Music, the latest tumblr genre fad is supposed to be. It's kind of like Vaporwave, but with the early/mid 2000s as the nostalgic decade to riff on the camp of - now that that generation is finally coming of age.
If Vaporwave's defining symbols are Windows 95, the bust of Helios from Floral Shoppe, and crude CGI mall commercials - PC music's defining symbols/influences are AOL, Radio Disney, Initial D OST, Limp Bizkit, and (to a lesser extent) Rebecca Black and Justin Bieber. It's 2000s nostalgia, in other words - for all the ultra-cringey tween-marketed bubblegum pop excess that cometh before the recession. Before Bush Jr.'s approval ratings took a nosedive into oblivion. Now that politics has broken down into full Idiocracy mode, that cringey excess is back with a vengeance.
I personally would've named the genre cringewave, but that's just me.
Guilty pleasures
My tastes can be taken or left, I' like listening to stuff like Chuck Person's Eccojams, Orangy's "Still Don't Car" or "oran.gy" RIP orangy by the way, you died too young, some death grips, hella, a fair amount of normie-core /mu/ stuff like NMH, mostly stuff my musician brother sends me. But there are a few things I enjoy that I don't generally admit to anyone
>Lapfox
>inb4 "OP is a furfag!!"
I couldnt give a shit if he was furry or not, a good amount of his albums I just find enjoyable.
>TRAPPED in the TWERKZONE
>BRUTAL RHYTHM RIDER
>Slip'n'Slide
>Jack
>Based Shark
I also enjoy smash mouth and I think that's the biggest crime of all
so share your guilty pleasures, /mu/, tell us your shameful tastes.

Russian Music - Help?(!!!)
Ok everyone, I am trying to explore Russian music and culture a bit and I'm pretty disappointed with what I have found so far. It seems like it's a really bad rip off of (at least in rock and related genres) of German, French, British, and American music.
The music just seems quite stunted.
Can someone help me find music from Russia that isn't crap or is at least interesting?
Interesting music that I have found from Russia so far is
-Dvar
-Kolovrat
-Kiborg (are they even Russian?)
-You Must Murder
-Delfin/Dolphin
-Sector Gaza (has a few interesting songs)
-TequilaJazzz
-Pyatnitsa
I've really been looking for Russian music for a while and I can't believe it's such a short list. Am I looking in the wrong places? One band is schizophrenic bees and at least three of them are far right nationalist bands….is this normal for Russia? Is creativity in music seriously that restricted to the fringe over there?
Requesting some sort of Russian music dump. Thanks!
Women in music.
Normally im not into females singing because they tend to be very bland. If you look up any cover of any song on youtube done by a woman, youll end up listening to some slowed down depressing shit. Lets get a thread about the kind of emotion only a woman can convey.
tldr; your most unique vocal women. dosent matter if its a one time only or obscure song.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE79SF_vC5o
An absurd composition over a dramatic take on the high pitched vocals of a woman (or in this case an alien).
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9srw5FRm5eA
Astrud keeps her 'singing' minimal taking more of a spoken word approach.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpPqRBIZ8q8
Piaf probably has the most annoying voice I've ever heard yet she was perfect.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVBCE3gaNxc
Clare Torry's legendary vocals. Pure emotion on her natural vocals.

Gabriela Guncíkova singing Alice In Chain's Man in The Box. Just wait for the chorus.

Dorota Osinska doing a cover of Calling You live on television. This is in my opinion the greatest cover of all time.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=guKoNCQFAFk
Janis Joplin's cover of Summertime is unique one of a kind. Probably shitter vocals than Piaf.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9LDS9DIPkk
A modern tune. Sia's Chandelier song is generally a shitty song. The only thing that gives this song merit is the vocals. And it make up the entire song on its own.
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRZVIEUqdIU
Samantha Fish's vocals are something to look out for.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qEvF8pW8cjY
Sammie Jay just impresses with her vocal range.
Nick Drake
If there ever was an artist with misplaced praise, it's Nick Drake. If I made such dull garbage as him, I'd probably off myself, too. I'm convinced the only reason anyone even gives half a shit about him is because he committed suicide. Someone should've Patton-slapped the whiny little faggot into making good music.
Extreme metal vocals
How can anyone who is not psychotic appreciate something like this? The minute I hear cookie monster vocals or ghoul-sounding black metal vocals or screamed metalcore vocals I immediately think it's stupid, turn it off, and shake my head at the realization that almost all modern heavy music is like this.
How can so many people tolerate it?
I need to compile a short list of 6 angsty, edgy rock/metal songs. Im talking about the kind of stuff that some 15 year old would put in their Naruto AMV. Ive got 5 songs so far, but I just cant think of a sixth one. Im looking for a song that fits the theme and is also fairly well known.
So far Ive got:
1. Trapt - Headstrong
2. Evanescence - Wake me Up
3. Disturbed - Down with the Sickness
4. Linkin Park - Crawling
5. Drowning Pool - Bodies
What song would you add to the list?
I like her
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3uxF8p2JXI
I don't care i like her music hate me if you will
Why do people think The Pixies-tier harsh screaming sounds good? It sound like incoherent fake lolsorandum noises that ruins an otherwise good song whenever I hear it. Shit like Strawberry Jam and The Suburbs would sound really good if they weren't mimicking this fucking horrible meme sound. Why the fuck are the pixies even considered good? Why are they so influential?
>make beautifuls moosix n melodyz
>add disgusting harsh random scream in the vocals

it's shit
Do they have programs to make Game Boy music without need of an actual Game Boy? I mean, I do have a Game Boy Color around somewhere, but instead of going through the trouble of finding it, I'd say one might as well just have it on his computer. Really want to try making some Game Boy music, though. Just need to know how to start.

i fucking HATE talking about Kanmeme West but he said something rather important to address recently about how he'll never be releasing CD's or physical copies of any of his albums ever again
obviously his influence upon the music industry is undeniably huge so it's important to discuss, i'm interested in hearing your take on it /mu/
Early 2000s
Is there such as thing as "early 2000s aesthetic"? Has anyone every tried doing a Vaporwave mix of Linkin Park, Gorillaz, or something like that?
>inb4 "early 2000s nostalgia? Fuck i'm getting too old for this board, u must be underage lol"
>inb4 "Holy shit the average age is 15"
I'm 21 you silly fucks. The early 2000s are practically oldfag territory at this point (2000 was 16 years ago); ask anyone under 19 if they know about the original Xbox, Pepsi Blue, old Newgrounds, or dial-up Internet. Chances are they'll say "lol, wat dat? #yolo #swag #vape #johncena #meme"

Swans' To Be Kind
I listened to the first disc of this today. I couldn't get into it. It is my first Swans album. I can't find something to enjoy while listening to the tracks. I like some parts but they're mixed in with all this yelling and there are many slow parts that I don't like a tall. Lots of weird noises that I don't care for. Should I try a different Swans album?

I'm curious: what kind of music is this called? I know it's not Vaporwave, but it has the same aesthetic that you heard in the nearly every 80s-90s TV show.
It's cheesy, but dammit, it's also nostalgic/comfy as fuck.
Ballet Dance “If God Did Not Save Me”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIvREVZGmLE
Behold, God’s people are telling you God’s salvation with their light and graceful dance: Only under God’s guidance can man regain the direction for life after getting lost and step onto the bright journey. Only by God’s salvation can man break free from the bondage of sin and understand the value and meaning of his existence. Finally, man appreciates God’s good intentions and beholds God’s love and concern for him. He will not rebel against or misunderstand God any further, but only wishes to follow God all his life and devote his whole being to the work of God.
u-Ziq's soundcloud
sooo has anyone been following u-ziq's soundcloud and have a collection of all the shit he's uploaded? It's such a tease going through this thread watching the same people trying to sync their dls who archived afx's soundcloud and made it available to download, yet there are no links for u-ziq's. Theres an older one i downloaded that was only up to 160 tracks or so, but theyre up to over 300 now.

Tai Chi Dance | New Heaven and New Earth “The Significance of the Appearance of God”
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-bBRIZl9UA
The new kingdom hymn “The Significance of the Appearance of God” is performed through Tai Chi Dance, which is special and fluent. It gently tells you the true significance of God’s work and word in His two incarnations. With green grass and blue sky as background, the dance perfectly corresponds to a soft, melodious ensemble of Zheng and Xiao, the discourse between classical musical instruments. The smooth melody, like heavenly music, takes you away from the noisy world to the Creator to enjoy His words of life in the new age!
