Memes may not be art, but menes sure are. I mean look at this Lörs lärä provides the listener a critique of contemporary consumerist society. A society that, for the first time in the history of societies, is devoid of meaning, precisely because of the equalization of all virtues, ethics and goals that cultural marxism has brought about.
Lörs lärä embodies the psychological evolution of an individual in this society. Initially, the subject embarks on an instinctive search for meaning by adopting one of society's prefabricated social philosophies. These are indeed fabrications as they consist of mere abstract notions which form a coherent whole, but which neither correspond with nor are applicable to the subject's reality. Examples include communism, anarcho-capitalism, nationalism, fascism. A faith in and a strong adherence to all doctrines of the chosen prefabricated social philosophy are characteristic of this phase. As the individual nears the end of this phase, he gets increasingly aware of and uncomfortable with the realization that his choice is essentially arbitrary. This phase has not yet been audibly documented.
The discomfort at the end of the first stage is resolved by resorting to meaning through absurdity. The subject engages in a series of increasingly desperate attempts to extract meaning from his surrounding. One such attempt is documented here >>14828651. A non-audible example of this phase is the use of (variations on) :DDD as a postfix of every statement, regardless of the arbitrary perceived emotions that the neurotypical has learned to connect with these statements ("bls, resbond :DDD", "oh fug :DDD", and so on).
The subject soon realizes the futility of these attempts —futile because the consumerist society into with which his entire being is interwoven is inherently devoid of meaning— and in response, he abandons them and starts reproducing the absence of meaning in his creations. >>14828488 is the most well known of such reproductions. The subject's reproductions are almost always created using speech synthesis software. The blandness and absence of intonation of the more primitive speech synthesis software indicates a lack of any and all emotion or feeling and is symbolic of the subject's state of mind at this phase. Most /int/ users identify themselves with this phase of the mental evolution and consequentially, most of the other lörs lärä productions are of the same format.
In the final stage, the subject's mental health decays markedly as a result of being crushed by the inbearable burden of having witnessed the unveiling of the facade that keeps the neurotypicals sane and shielded from the mental desert that is the consumerist society. He falls into what neurotypicals would describe as a state of insanity. Symptoms include non-sensical posting (also known as shitposting) and an extreme hostility towards and fear of society and those that conform to it. This is well exemplified by the poor English fellow who, when approached by a female acquintance of his, offers her money in a desperate attempt to flee possible interaction with her. Society is alien and frightening to a subject in this phase. He is unable to use (neurotypical) common sense and instead offers her money for he knows not what to do.
The recent demonic and spooky lörs lärä's are attempts to capture the mental state of a subject in this final phase.
1.) be able to name the notes on the staff which uses the G clef. Since the notes go forward alphabetically as they ascend, all you really need to do is identify one line or space and then be able to count from there
2.) add the durations of the notes given in a measure of score to determine the meter. If you know the durations of the notes, all you need to do is add for the sum. For example, if there are four quarter notes in a measure and each is worth one beat, then the meter is 4/4.
3.) be able to recognize a musical symbol and tell what it does. The symbols could range from a clef or rest to a tempo or dynamic marker (loudness or softness)
4.) be able to identify a meter upon hearing. All that is required here is that you count along to determine which fits best, a 2 count, a 3 count, or a 4 count.
I haven't read about any of this.
I am 100% unfit to take this exam but I have to, and am going to fail it.

Okay, the first one's relatively easy. G clef is named for the line that the little curly bit is on.
The second line from the bottom, the one that the spiral is curved around? That's G. Specifically the G above middle C, but you probably don't need to know that.
In addition, the lines that the spiral is actually touching (the ones below and above the G line) are E and B, respectively
Besides that, all you need to do is go up and down the alphabet from there.
As for 2...it's basically a matter of counting. Try and get the different notes down (I can try and help you with it if you need it) and then add them up. I'd guess that they won't do anything too complicated, so it'll either be X/4 (meaning that the beat's based on quarter notes) or maybe X/8 (meaning that the beat's based on eighth notes). Add up how many quarter notes are in a measure (with half notes counting as 2, eighth notes counting as 1/2, etc.), and see if it comes to 2, 3 or 4. If not, then do the same thing with eighth notes.
3...here are some tips. If a symbol has a p in it, it probably has to do with softness. More p's mean more softness. Same with f and loudness. If it has an m in it, then it means somewhat. mp = somewhat soft.
And for rests, the half note rest lies on top of a line, making it look like a hat, while the whole note rest lies on the bottom of the line, like a (w)hole. Quarter rest looks like a lightning bolt and Eighth rest looks like a seven.
There are only 3 clefs (well, 3 major clefs). The G (Treble) clef, which is at the top of this post, the F (Bass) Clef, which looks like a backwards C or a comma, and the C (Alto/Tenor) clef, which, erm...
It kind of looks like a pair of ram horns.
Dynamics don't really have helpful tricks. But they're usually just Italian words with English equivalents, so sound them out and think about whether they'd be fast or slow. Also, ritardando (rit.) means to slow down (it sounds like the slur for the mentally disabled) and accelerando (accel.) means to speed up.
4's a bit trickier. Best thing I can suggest is to listen to music that has those kinds of beats. 4/4 describes all of pop music. 3/4 can be found easily in waltzes (or AJJ's Stormy the Rabbit). 2/4's usually found in marches.
I bookmarked this, thanks. I'm sorry for not knowing things that I'm sure seem simple to you. :/
idk, claiming internet memes are art or that bronies have redefined masculinity sounds pretty trollish to me
spurious yet provocative claims, backed up by just enough argument to make them sound halfway credible
From what I get out of the channel, the claims are simply meant to be hypotheses, with the host making, or attempt to make, an objective view of the claim, then leave the debate up for the commenters. For what it's worth, I don't feel that the host was in any way being insincere with his arguments.
This is understandable, but I think that you let these things get to you way more than is warranted. Some guy makes an outlandish proposal to generate discussion and uses some odd rhetorical footwork to back it up to keep things interesting, and you... erupt with fury and indignation? If he were a troll, that would mean that you would be letting him win, or at least giving him the desired outcome. But the desired outcome in this case is much more benign: To make people discuss the issues surrounding the matter and hopefully come up with some clever points for or against the hypothesis.
I can understand the tone and arguments being grating, but it just doesn't strike me as worth getting legitimately angry and vitriolic about.
i don't know what it is about tone on the internet, but i'm not actually raging here
i'm just like explaining why i find the videos mildly annoying
i think i do this thing where one minute i'm in a normal conversation, and the next i'm blowing things out of proportion and the person i'm talking to is like 'what'

It's your wording sometimes. Stringing together negative or contextually negative adjectives before a noun like "garbage" or "shit" tends to indicate more than mild dislike.
Also, I still have my mod reflexes from my tenure at BTL to some degree, so when people sound agitated here my immediate instinct is to quell things with walls of text...

You shouldn't do that, you know? It's probably not intended to but it can come across as condescending.

I tend to be kind of all or nothing about my emotions sometimes: Things that bug me either provoke me to shrug them off or send me into (studiously repressed) conniptions...
I would post amusing ferret pictures to prove this but I'm on mobile so you can Google up some of your own and imagine me posting them here and commentating upon them in my usual, vaguely funny manner

Oi, what a day.
Hush. My superiority in written music is mirrored by your superiority in produced music.

you feeling lucky, Punk.
I am a punk, a punk without an establishment to rebel against.
that one took like 89 hours to make
i didn't beat Qliphoth yet
it's 2hardcore4me
she lives in the desert
likes the heat for some reason
Oi, what a day.
the videos just grate
i'm just like explaining why i find the videos mildly annoying
i think i do this thing where one minute i'm in a normal conversation, and the next i'm blowing things out of proportion and the person i'm talking to is like 'what'
like you just now
Yay!
i will keep this in mind
