Why bother interfering with your pretended ignorance?
There is no "pretended ignorance". What is with the 'tude, dude?
I'll be honest with you, I still don't really get what living fossil is getting at. I think it has to do with personal style.
Here's the way
I see it: Music, like all art, is ultimately a craft, and a craft can be learned. Therefore, there is really only "good" and "bad", and you'll find that through history, there were certain, generally unanimously accepted standards for "good" and people long to see it return decades or centuries later. Even Mozart's "musical joke" is a damn great piece.
Especially by today's standards.
I know that may sound like an overly materialistic view on something that we can apply so many immaterial philosophies to and we can partake in for immaterial reasons, but we still have to acknowledge the material reality.
This thread starts off with a girl who is just trying to make good music, and it happens to be reminiscent of a bygone age instead of taking easy road and going with the lowest common denominator.
What does she get for it?
Shit on with a bunch of elitist nonsense for not being original enough by people who are also probably nothing terribly ground-breaking, and unfounded accusations of being some privileged, ruling class, elite "wunderkind".
Sorry, but I'm not seeing what the problem with
her is. Hope for humanity hasn't risen too much.
