>they are also people who say "X is worthless sabbath did it better" on the internet, and if that's only kind on the mind here then yes ofc it's restrictive and unhelpful



bad example because most stoner bands are literally worthless and sabbath did it better

most rock and metal is shamelessly derivative but stoner in particular takes the cake

Album Rating: 4.0

stoner is about attitude and guitar tone lol, no-one has ever turned to that genre for original riffs

and most of *all genres is shamelessly derivative, are we rly gonna get hung up on the plato/scaruffi chin-scratching school of imitation=worthless i have not yet had one coffee today and do not have it in me to humour this echo of stale discourse

>and most of *all genres is shamelessly derivative



the point was that rock and metal are worse about it than the avg genre :]



and stoner is worse about it than most rock and metal :O

it is very easy to tell when two riffs sound the same yes

it's a classic online pseud take to act as though originality plays anything more than a minor role in determining value, and you of all people have spent enough time sulking at the Things People Think On The Internet to be able to laugh at that

Album Rating: 4.0

surely the role originality plays is up to the individual?



not sure why youre even going there though

Album Rating: 4.0

i think its funny that you shit on most metal but then act like stoner rock is somehow not -at minimum the exact same shit- but most likely literally worse



you bring up attitude, but none of those bands have attitude, they have literally the same attitude as each other, there is nothing distinguishing them whatsoever

i will admit i made a mistake trying to argue with the kind of tourist that thinks untrue is the best burial

you soiled your nerd pants by bring derivation into this, don't fingerpoint me now

the role of originality is a contextually informed psychological construct that has next to nothing with how most people experience music unless they're actively overthinking it, so yes it's "up to the individual" but not in a way that particular legitimises it. nine times out of ten when you complain about 'derivative' music, it's just a cover for a songwriting/performance failing specific to the alb in question that you were too lazy to engage with in its own terms

also qotsa almost as good an example as kyuss of why you don't need a single original riff in the studio to catch what actually matters about rock music

"i will admit i made a mistake trying to argue with the kind of tourist that thinks untrue is the best burial"

baby if you did your homework before dropping that piss-lazy ad hom, you'd know i bat for kindred

not sure i have the patience for that level of petty

because some genres *are* fundamentally more prone to being filled with useless derivation than others



this should not be a controversial statement

> to catch what actually matters about rock music



lmao



see its different when i like the 2.5 band they catch what actually matters about rock music but when you like the 2.5 band youre just a nerd

"because some genres *are* fundamentally more prone to being filled with useless derivation than others"

the only part of this up for discussion was the correlation you (/a bunch of online music melts) imposed between derivation and uselessness

and no offence but i am not about to take pointers on what actually matters about music from someone so jaded that it might as well only exist in historical timelines and spot the difference exercises. if you're gonna pedestal originality that way, you're welcome to your crusty novelty trip but maybe keep it the right side of the rym quarantine yh?
