I'm only 19 but it seems like this place is already overtaken my people younger than me who have a drastically different mindset.
Even a couple years ago this board still talked about and respected classic Yas Forumscore. We can't even discuss bands like Slint, NMH, The Beatles or AnCo anymore. The threads get like 10-15 replies, most of them shitting on the band, and then the thread dies. Meanwhile Beabadoobee and 100 gecs Yas Forums bait threads get like 300 replies and stay up for hours. And there's no music discussion going on in them. It's just weird hateful and obsessive shitposting and the jannies do nothing about it. Has this board always just been for 14-17 year olds? Is it just my time to leave?
At what age is it time to leave Yas Forums?
this board has been full of retards for years. if you don't remember that, then you might well be one of them.
Based. I just want to talk about music, man. Any other place on the internet is way too topic specific.
your problem is not your age, it's the fact that you're an enormous faggot
I mean I've only been here since like 2016ish
I'm not against shitposting when it's actually funny and music related
At least stuff like 6ix9ine shitposting was about his music and not just "this Asian girl fucks white guys" and "band sucks because tranny" shit.
Have sex lil' incel
Yas Forums died a long time ago man. modern Yas Forums is as close as it gets to a proper art community that Yas Forums was in its heyday
23. Was on a respite but the shelter-in-place brought me back. This place is unironically better for discussion than it was a few years ago, the feels aren't around as much, certain threads actually get discussion (there was a Bowie vs Prince vs MJ vs Elton thread a few days ago that got a good conversation with 100+ posts) etc. It gets old of course but that's the nature of everything. Yas Forums + rym are still the best places for music recs in my book.
im almost 19 and ready to leave this shit hole
>don't click on meme/bait threads
>find good threads
>make good threads
>quit making shitty whining threads with wojak pics
wow that's so hard
This place can get retarded, but at least discussion can still occur here without threads devolving into political retardation like other boards such as Yas Forums, Yas Forums and so on.
really the only problem with Yas Forums is the mods not giving a fuck (like they do with Yas Forums or Yas Forums for example), shit threads here last for hours and often don't even get deleted. MAYBE people would be encouraged to have higher quality discussions if this place was moderated at all. it's been like this for years now
I’m 21, I first came here when I was 14, but I didn’t start posting until this year. The board is fucking terrible these days, and every time I come back it’s an exercise in how long I can take it. The problem is the excessive shitposting and lack of moderation. There is way more shitposting than there is actual music discussion on any given day, and I’d leave if I could. The problem is I just don’t know where to go.
Also if you’re under 18 STOP POSTING
>The problem is I just don’t know where to go
there's nothing else
RYM is boring, reddit is slow and then there's a bunch of dead boomer forums and discord servers that are full of weird cliques and cults
im 30, been browsing since 2009 - I don't browse as often though. Yas Forums has always been full of shitposts, not much has really changed.
yeah, maybe you'll take a break. but you'll be back. you'll come to enjoy this place more when you realize it's actually all about the shitposting.
I was off here for a while and the sharethreads/chart threads pulled me back in and now im commenting on shit like this again
There are NMH and Beatles threads all the time. People fall for the bait of gec threads and that's why they get attention. Just filter out the gec threads or whatever.
Yas Forums doesn't talk about the beatles? wtf website are you using? are 30 "john beat his wife xD" and "beatles invented music bro" threads not enough for you?
This. I've been on and off Yas Forumstant since 2013 and I genuinely think this board might be the overall best it's been in the time I've been here. I actually think there's less waifufagging than ever before, and when there is waifufagging the majority of posts in the thread seem to be mocking it anyway.
Honestly I've been browsing Yas Forums heavily while I've been cooped up inside this past month and I think I've had some of the best musical discussions I've had in years here.
They talk about the Beatles a little bit but not nearly enough discussion for the greatest band of all time. The Beatles discussion here is criminally low, much lower than it should be. The fact that there isn't a Beatles general running on the front page 24/7 of this board shows it has a long way to go before we give the GOATs enough credit.
>The fact that there isn't a Beatles general running on the front page 24/7 of this board shows it has a long way to go before we give the GOATs enough credit.
is this a scaruffi reference intentionally or?
No. Most of the Beatles threads are shitposting memers rather than serious discussion. Hipsters here pretend they hate The Beatles and that dogshit like Charlie XCX is somehow better.
This.
The board sucks but what the fuck more do you want people to say about fucking Slint or NMH. Fucking Hell man, we had like six years at least of jacking ourselves off over those bands. People have moved on.
Everyone's young as fuck but that's NOT evidenced by the fact that they've moved on from 2015 Yas Forumscore.
Well at least move on to good music and not shitty repetitive rap garbage about fucking hoes and gangbanging.
>DAE listen to REAL music xD I was born in the wrong generation
amen to that brother, where my /beatles/ general at
Scaruffi? Never heard of her.
>new good old bad
This isn't /fa/. Music quality comes first. Who cares if something's old or been discussed before? If it's good it's good and we need to spread the gospel of good music to the newfags.
You’ve just gotta know what to ask and you’ll find the right peiple
You're trolling, right? The Beatles get talked about here plenty. The board is obsessively mainstream now.
There's a reason its better to give attention to lesser known bands, they have a much tougher time breaking through and rarely get the credit for pushing the boundaries. Why give so much of a fuck about the Beatles? Every cunt alive today is aware of them, take your pick about who you want to talk with them about and stop fucking up this board with boring discussions that have taken place hundreds of times.
Why have you included the Beatles in this list? Could it be that you’re a seething Beatles fag looking to drive discussion? Fuck off and make a general.
The Beatles invented modern pop music and every pop and rock artist discussed on here is derivative of The Beatles. All the bands you discuss here trace back to The Beatles who did the ideas better. Their influence is eternal and sound timeless. They shaped modern music more than anyone else. Music is split into pre and post Beatles era. They will be discussed until the heat death of the universe, much like Mozart and Bach. They are our modern equivalent to these composers and a touchstone of Western civilization. There's always something to talk about.
The problem isn’t the shitposting, it’s that the shitposting isn’t about music that’s good or music that I care about
I am 21 and have been here for about 8 years now. I feel it's time for me to leave soon
And when there is shitposting about either of those things, no one wants to stop shitposting for a moment to actually discuss the music
we need more obscure shit on this board if i wanna talk about the top 40 or rap i could just go to facebook.
also beatles and dadrock are top 40 tier, yes. they were top 40 of their time and shit like queen/beatles/zeppelin has been discussed to death and everyone knows it. it may be good sure, but there's so much more music out there that doesn't get exposure. finding a new band or overlooked older band is more interesting than circlejerking the classic rock radio station playlist.
>obscure good
>popular bad
ok hipster
To be fair its not that popular isn't bad, but its talked about enough as is. While the bands that some people might want to hear about like this guy aren't talked about as often
This is why everybody hates Beatlesfags. I hope you get Gulagd off this fucking board, you self-righteous cunts.
