If you've never met the kind of guy who brags that he's an incredibly deep and thoughtful person because he reads Bukowski and listens to Neutral Milk Hotel, you're either very lucky or you are that guy.

Everybody goes through a pretentious phase at some point in their lives.

The reason videos like that one are ridiculous is that they are all done by people who are going through that phase themselves and who are oblivious to that fact.

I hate that Neutral Milk Hotel has become this big cultural signifier.

I just want to listen to a weirdo yowl about semen and how much he wants to gently caress Anne Frank.

Iran funded Hezbollah, but that was after Israel invaded Lebanon to attack the PLO.

I think the key word that prevents that from being a scorching take is “offer.” I wouldn’t mind if any kid had the opportunity to go on blockers without requiring parental consent after a therapeutic evaluation. the vast majority wouldn’t of course but it can’t hurt to give them the option

I know this is a pedantic question and not the actual point this loving idiot was trying to make, but was jazz important to music theory? I thought the mathematical fundamentals of all that was pretty much formalized and settled by the end of the baroque period. this dipshit is probably talking about musicology or technique or something

Is 'MLs hate sex workers' a thing? Is that a stereotype I've missed?

There's a bunch of online MLs who consider sex work or even any focus on issues of sexuality to be counter-revolutionary and decadent, but the dumber online anarchists' view of sex work is just barely disguised "freeing the market will solve everything" libertarian thinking, so of course anyone who disagrees is a tankie.

a lot of the ways we name chords nowadays come from jazz. baroque era stuff was a lot about interweaving multiple melodies without thinking too hard about what exact chord you’re hitting until you need to get that V-I cadence.

With jazz you need a shorthand to communicate “play a Bb major chord, with a flat fifth and seventh, but a sharp ninth” so instead of writing all that out you go “Bb7(b5)#9”

you don’t need that quite as much in a lot of the popular stuff you’d hear so you could get away with just writing standard triads and seventh chords, but there’s quite a few harmonic moves borrowed from jazz that use those simpler chords.


tl;dr: jazz absolutely had an effect on the music you hear today, and since music theory isn’t a rule set but instead a way to describe musical relationships we hear, of course jazz effected it

yea I can see that being a dumb thing some would try to make an ML argument out of, just was hoping it was just Lenin-Slut-420 doing it and not some actual group, glad to see it was.

I think it’s the “very online” part that resents women crossing over with the marxism in those cases. There’s some sublimated horny mixed in there, and it usually erupts when someone on twitter is promoting their onlyfans and also posting leftist things. And those takes about “sexual mutual aid” that make the online leninists so mad are mostly not serious anyway and just people trying to maintain an active online profile to sell their porn politely and nicely so they can survive under capitalism. “Will people trade sex under communism” is an absurdly insignificant question and not one to be legislated through posting years before it’s even clear that the human race will survive capitalism.
