Go whine somewhere else about how Baroque isn't "Real" music.

This.

"Durrrr hurhurhurhurhur Baroque composers didn't make real music because they'd didn't whine about how shitty their lives were lolololololol"

On the contrary, Igor Stravinsky made real music because he was rejoicing in how great his life was.

My favorite genre is emo, if anyone cares enough.

I also listen to rap, pop punk, and those kinds of things.

This is true; the very same can be said about Mozart. Except for that period where he happened to be dying.

I should've been a bit more descriptive in that previous post. That quoted comment wasn't directed at you; rather, it was a generalisation cast at a large amount of music "fans" I've come across who deride baroque music because it's not "real" enough, where "real" means "talking about how shitty your life and the world are in dry prose".

Essentially, stuff people don't normally listen to on commercial radio.

The problem is that Mozart's "music" does no such thing. It's artificial, bland, and lifeless. There's no sincerity in it.

Of course, Mozart wasn't really of the Baroque era, but he suffers from the same basic problems.

I like almost all types of music, but my top five favorites genres of music have to be:

1. British Rock
2. American Rock before 1990
3. Jazz
4. Instrumentals
5. Film/Orchestra scores

They're very well know. Neue Deutsche Harte, or German Industrial Metal.

by **Demen** » Sat Apr 02, 2011 6:18 pm

Most metal (exclude grindcore, goregrind, industrial (other than Ministry or Godflesh or Isis), metalcore, deathcore, deathgrind, black metal), classic rock, hard rock(1970's through 1990's), soft rock, blues, orchestral singing(Simon and Garfunkle?), and most country.

I almost forgot Prog.

I love a ton of music. It all really comes down to Rock, Metal, and Alternative, though. Though I also like some Electronic, Classical, Hip-Hop, Blues, Jazz, y todo.

I'll walk out of here, assuming you said absolutely nothing.

I'm not a big fan of Classical Music, but really, go whine somewhere else. Mozart's Turkish March is beautiful.

Apollo et Hyacinthus.

Le nozze di Figaro.

Don Giovanni.

Requiem Mass in D Minor.

Anyone know a good classification for them?

Sounds to me like a mixture of Assouf Music and African Blues. With some Psychadelic, Desert Rock-esque guitar-work thrown in there.

by **Freelanderness** » Sat Apr 02, 2011 6:26 pm

I have so many favourites.. hehe
I like indie rock, classic rock, and metal the most.
But I am also in love with bands like HeyHiHello and NeverShoutNever.
As for the "Baroque is not music," these are the definitions of music: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/music
Baroque does fall under this, unfortunately, so does Rebecca Black

Post-hardcore and indie.

I assume you shop only at co-ops and thrift stores.

Why is it that statists always love metal?

Punk rock!

I haven't bought new clothes since last year, actually.

Because we're all angry misotheists/misanthropes.

I listen to mostly country, some alt and classic rock.
