I don't get it?

So some popular music is high art and most of it isn't? How is this determined?

No popular music is high art. Don't let the zoomers and the rockists confuse you. All popular music is lowbrow shite.

By me.

No, no popular music is high art. There are three types of music
>Art music (this refers to what is commonly known as classical music, but it includes all eras including baroque, romantic, neoclassical, etc. it also includes the art music traditions of non-western cultures. Art music is primarily written, and then performed)
>Folk music (don't be confused by the names, folk music refers to the traditional music of people. It doesn't mean any guy with an acoustic guitar. Folk music is primarily performed, and passed down by an oral tradition)
>Pop music (this includes not just what is known as pop music, but also rock, rap, jazz, EDM, etc. Pop music is primarily recorded, and spread through media such as records, CDs, tape cassettes, radio stations, and streaming services)

Why music the only one under these rules? I'm starting to not like music anymore....

mainly it's mostly determined by melody; if you got the best beat in the world you can't do anything without melody

ofc it's varied by genre, you may like minimal or complex music

Because music has been completely corrupted by jews and capitalism. Blame them, not me.

>Why music the only one under these rules?
Because they aren't "rules," they're descriptors of what all the different types of music are like
It's not like at the beginning of time God decreed their could only be art music, folk music, or pop music. People just made music, and after some time some guy said "hey, you notice that there are three types of music?"

And feminism. (already had it)

This. Women owe us sex.

Based

This. And only one of them matters.

How does popular music with niche audiences (like free jazz and noise) fit into this?

It's shit. A good rule of thumb is: if it's made by a black person, it's shit.
Also noise is not music.

xD upvoted!

nigger

high art has not existed for at least 40 years

it's simple :
take the technical complexity of the song as determined by the rules listed at page 2123 of the book of ISO Objective Aesthetics, multiply it by the importance of the underlying themes as determined by pages 2401-2440,
apply a normalization coefficient to account for originality of the work (see page 3090), and you have the official standard score for the artfulness of a piece of music.

you will find that everything you like is shit and that you are a hopeless moron.

this is such a vague and outdated perspective of music.
Where would you even put
musicians that transformed "pop music" (like rock) into a "art music" format (written compositions)?
>Frank Zappa
>Glenn Branca
>The Residents
>Mike Oldfield
>JG Thirlwell
>Brian Eno
even Industrial bands like SPK and Throbbing Gristle could be considered neoclassical music.

The scaruffipill is the right way to put it
It doesn't matter what the music is classified as because the categories were fabricated by the media anyway
Good music can come from all genres

When did he ever say that?

true. I always wondered why he had musicians like Diamanda Galas, Amon Tobin, Joanna Newsom, and Popol Vuh on his "Top 100 Rock Albums" list, despite them clearly not being rock. He generally never cared for genres and labels.

Whenever he gives a fair shot and even decent scores to "low-art" pop artists
He treats any music as music and isn't afraid to give props or criticize anything

:Low art is only rock music.

worthless trash

this

cringe

>even Industrial bands like SPK and Throbbing Gristle could be considered neoclassical music.
Is there a simple thing wrong with this?

lol tastelet, artlet, historylet, theorylet, funklet frog poster

No, because that's what it is. Industrial is musique concrète for rock fans.
My question is, would it be "Art music" or "Pop music"?
These definitions would only make sense to someone who thinks, when it comes to the music industry, there's lynyrd skynyrd and Beethoven with no in between.
