they are special because they are one of the last instances of emotional listeners in the contemporary age. in a world where romanticism has been slain, they are an endangered species.

the phenomenon also has obvious fascistic undertones, between a sentiment of missed fulfillment and the desire for motherly consolation. where this frustrated energy leads is an open question, but it's not a mistake than a not insignificant number of these listeners become incel-esque.

this is all the more fascinating because the characteristics of emotional listeners are feminine, yet this is a masculinist inversion to an aggressive tenor. the emotional core is often obfuscated for sake of pyschic parsimony and public presentation, but these men wear their hearts on their sleeves

given that beethoven is his central example of serious music, i don't think this is accurate

it's not about creativity, its about the politically, existentially, and aesthetically corrosive effect on the listener and composer, and is reflective of and contributing to the maintenance of disastrous features of existing society

popular music is standardized with interchangeable constituents (see: tiktokification of composition). serious music derives its musical sense from the concrete totality of the piece and is not merely an instantiation of a pre-given musical scheme

i mean the whole notion of ‘classism’ is just stupid. any ‘-ism’ like that is advocating for anything less than the self abolition of the class has completely lost the plot. “sex has independent, inevitable, transhistorical ontological validity, so we just need to learn to treat everyone equally!” 🤡

also the retreat in sociology from class as a philosophical category is incredibly bleak. now it’s just income and vibes based. “we ran a poll and 90% of people said they were middle class. but obviously that’s wrong so let’s say 50-90k. yes this is a serious discipline.”

i’m usually pretty pro-ai art (or rather anti-anti-ai art) but when mixed with orientalism it really enhances the uncomfy

every so often i’ll receive a youtube comment and be reminded that i used to have good taste in music
