Feeling very grateful for the music I love, most of which – as it happens – originated from black musicians. (Jazz, Funk, Afrobeat, Reggae, Dub, Hip Hop, Disco, House, Techno, Jungle, Drum 'n' Bass, Garage, Grime) Credit where credit is due.
- If we're as as good at everything else as we are at music in its various forms we'd have no worries. It's the only thing that keeps me going sometimes.Fax_Benson
- No jazz. No life.shapesalad
- I love all that music too, but is it good objectively? it's popular, it's disposable, it's artistic, it makes you feel good, but is it good? does it stack up to_niko
- ...classical in any way? I don't know anything about music, i don't really like classical but do those genres compare?_niko
- hiphop, house, techno jungle, drum and bass are all about rhythm and a beat...anyone with an 808 or a computer now days is making "music" hell,_niko
- every idiot like Khalid, calling him or herself a dj by just spinning records are glorified as musicians these days but are they good? is this good music?_niko
- again this is the shit I like and grew up listening to but will any of this be remembered like mozart, beethoven or bach in 200 years?_niko
- also, i think funk, jazz, soul, afro beat etc is real music made by real musicians. give me bill withers and a guitar sweating on a stool over tekashi69 any day_niko
- so to summarize my meandering post, I agree with mort; music's been on a downward spiral since the days of white wigs; I'm old; get off my lawn._niko
- music is still the highest form of art.sted
- push and sliding buttons and shit
and don't forget about autotunesutopian - why care about what tool or method was used to generate the music what inspires you. 500 years ago we made music with rectum from dead kitties.sted
- i love the carribean african influence too. merengue, salsa, bachata, afro cumbia, and don't forget brazil's influences of bossa nova, samba,hotroddy
- african's have introduced rhythm into music. You can't dance without rythem which is what made it a global phenomenom.hotroddy

- forgot to include reggae in that list!hotroddy
- Interesting. You can’t really dance to classical music and you can’t fuck to it either lol_niko
- non-african hispanic music = tango, ranchera, andean music = lolhotroddy

- most classical music is utter shit, much like everything else. the shit you've heard of is the work of prodigies and intellectuals. the good shit aspires tokingsteven
- folk culture, spirituality.kingsteven
- niko, couldn't you say the same about visual art and the fields we work in? Like modern art and design is all shit and only classical painting is valid? :)yuekit
- Original post wasn't intended to be a this vs that thing. Just an appreciation of the roots of so much of what we listen to today. Music is so subjective.mort_
- I think the most you can say in terms of good or bad is whether it comes from a place of authenticity or is purely commercial.mort_
- Personally I tend to prefer the more underground, edgy artists in each genre. I don't believe that what's popular or what will be remembered in 200 yeas...mort_
