@Tachyon: Neither do I. It's kind of a universal music geek meme, though. Scaruffi is a ludicrously prolific reviewer and extremely opinionated, sometimes in very snotty ways. He does have some really interesting points to make about lesser-known or critically neglected artists, but he has a tendency to bitch about certain more popular things in a hilariously baroque fashion.
i don't visit /mu/ so i guess i missed out on this meme.
I don't visit /mu/ either, it's a terrible place where people seem to be largely concerned with separating TRUE CLASSICS from pleb music and who think they can prove rap music is bad because something something harmony.
Scaruffi thinks that Nail is the 19th best rock album of all time.
this makes me conflicted because on one hand that proves that he isn't like a total scumbag but on the other hand he thinks trout mask replica is better

And to count as a TRUE CLASSIC, no doubt, it has to have been released only as a cassette demo in the most hipster part of Seattle, amirite? :lol:

i'm like 100% sure this isn't the case
that said i don't go their either because they're a bunch of fucking plebs
And I guess the biggest problem I have with Scaruffi's Beatles rant is...dude, if you don't like the Beatles, just say you don't like the Beatles. Not all opinions have to be backed up with reasons, and it makes it harder to take your opinion seriously if you present reasons that aren't well-researched (presumably because you dislike the band too much to bother).
@The "plebcore" list: That is one of the most calculatedly boring lists of music that I have ever seen. Even the stuff there that I like just blends into the whole in the worst way possible.
^^ True. Only lists where I have ever seen Bügküll and Wire together.
like you have this HUMONGOUS 100+ album essential jazz list and you have nothing from John Zorn, Peter Brotzmann, The Art Ensemble of Chicago or Joe McPhee?
* the good dubstep list <= actually the best list in terms of the whole "essentials" part of the "essentials list" thing though it lacks the Deep Medi compilations which i'm pretty sure were complied after the list was made so that's not a big deal
I feel you on incorrect Latin plurals, but "plebs" is the English plural here, and pluralizing words as if they're Latin isn't really necessary in English grammar.
The problem is that it’s still associated with how certain neuroatypical people speak and makes fun of speech patterns caused by certain disabilities.
The same reason why “Derpy Hooves” and “Moon-Moon” are ableist: it makes a mockery out of people with trouble interpreting information or learning, and it uses “low intellect hurr durr” as a joke.
this happened
I'm always going to look like an asshole for defending this kind of thing, but whatever. IT ISN'T ABLEIST TO FEIGN LOWER INTELLIGENCE FOR HUMOR. Also the stalwart refusal to admit that most humor is inherently divisive bugs me quite a bit.
