This is a thought I had with my friends, you know how like with metal music there is often gatekeeping and people going "ohhhhhhhhhh you listen to x band?, that is not true metal", okay now imagine that for like all genres

ohhhh, you listen to chopin?, that's not real CLASSICAL music, that's some mainstream ass opinions you got there, how about you listen to REAL music for once

it would be funny

coming from a musician that likes to explore, it would not :'(

(partly joking, i don't imagine this is a particularly serious opinion ^^ like even if it were, it would not be plausible enough to be done consistently throughout all styles, and i imagine that would just get even more pushback)

it is not a serious opinion, I just think the concept is funny, when talking to my friend I mainly mentioned saetas but like that's not really a music genre outside spain

okay but that etienne video was complete and utter dogshit, like actually, why the fuck create a video discussing the fucking semantics of videogame genres, have you ever heard how badly defined an RPG is?, now because of that single video we've had osu elitists go like "ohhhhhhhhhhhh you play gd that's not a real rhythm game" and i'm like dude shut up, your enjoyement or how good the game is isn't defined by if it is a "true" rhythm game or not, so like, ignore it

You like liking? You like likes? Dude! Getting controversy is all whats it's about instead! Why bother trying to get loved if you can reach into the other side and get hate? Getting hate will make your career turn out great!

fortunately, from what i'm inferring, it might not've been directed at you at all ^^;; i think it's just that the comment tangentially reminded patatitta of that instance of probable elitism and so the phenomenon itself was what must've been particularly frustrating

Also, I don't have much to gatekeep considering the only artist I listen to anymore is Dayglow.

let's say I say "imagine this situation it would be funny"



yeah, there is in fact comedy involved in that situation, it would of course fucking suck if an interdimensional being consumed our galaxy, but, thinking about it is funny

As if this doesn't happen in other genres already XD I think half the memes on r/gothmemes are tongue-in-cheek references to gatekeeping.

Reminds me of a time I went to an Audio expo and went to try these Sennheiser HD 800 headphones. They only music they had was jazz, classical, and other genres mixing brass and string instruments. I asked if they had any metal music to try the quality of headphones on. The guy looked at me like I have 3 heads and said in an elitist tone, "We have music here"
