What happened to old Yas Forums, Yas Forumstants and Yas Forums-like communities online or even IRL music enthusiasts?
Yas Forums at any given times is just that and posting the same pop punk/nu metal appreciation shit and kornfan420 memes. That and just zoomer memelords hijacking Yas Forumscore and turning every quote and album cover into a shitpost edit - and like every fucking music forum going under the same shit. Like no mods even bothers fighting back against meme/shitpost waves anywhere; and spotify/youtube curation/algorithms making it all get normified and mainstream
Where has all of the substantial music discussion and consumption at nowadays? Where have the original Yas Forumstants of pre-2016 gone to and indie folks who genuinely sperged out on bands/genres/scenes and took it all in in a deep technical and emotional level?
nobody in the patrician scene goes on Yas Forums unironically

this isnt even an accurate description of the current state of Yas Forums at all user

>Where has all of the substantial music discussion and consumption at nowadays? Honestly, Reddit Yeah there's usernames and upvotes/downvotes but if you're not a memelord or a shitposter and actually contribute """discussions''''' you won't get piled up on. There's even some subreddits specifically for shitposting if you want that.
Just avoid the front page/default subs, they are pure cancer.

This board was shit when it was nothing but hip hop and rap garbage. Chad nu-metal is back on the menu. Cope.
Where is the patrician scene at? tell me and describe more.
Literally everything on /r/weezer is memes, /r/radiohead has turned into /r/radioheadcirclejerk lite. I don't want to hear people post about MTV beach house and (nice meme) every 5 fucking minutes.
Jace Baker
that sounds gay
Jason Hill
This is so wrong Go the fuck back Tried reddit once and got 10 downvotes for saying I don't like The Clash
Connor Thompson
People who think of themelves as in the "patrician scene" are the ones who orbit popular rym accounts, so just ignore this faggot.
Logan Carter
>looking for patrician discussion >weezer >radiohead
Ignore people saying reddit. The trith is, any POPULAR imageboard/forum will be horrible for discussing anything seriously. Ideally, you need small groups of likeminded people. Find a slow, hyperspecific forum.

I can make a /daily/ thread, if anyone would join me

In about two to three centuries from now, this man's website will be seen as one of the most monumental artifacts of the early internet age.
Scaruffi's vast archives regarding music history will be looked at and studied upon rigorously by the most erudite musicologists of the future, the same way how theologians today rigorously study & analyze the works of St. Thomas Aquinas.
Every album that he has given a 8/10+ to, maybe even down to the 7.5's as well, will eventually become the standard musical canon for prestigious, ivy-league universities. The same way how classical and jazz works are currently canonized today (and have been for the past few centuries).
Hardcore music aficionados of the future will look at Trout Mask Replica, or a single piece of music like Sister Ray, the same way how hardcore music aficionados of today view Beethoven's 9th Symphony.
Rock music (in the broadest sense of the term, this will also include hip-hop, metal, electronic, pop, etc.) will, at that point in the future, be to that generation, what classical and jazz is to our current generation (no matter how laughable and utterly retarded you think this statement may seem). So I guess you can kind of picture in your head how ridiculously, retardedly, mind-numbingly easy and cheap it will be to create music (whatever that will be) in that day of age, and how equally & unfathomably ridiculous-sounding it will be, in comparison to how people create modern music in our current day of age. The likes of what will probably be made three centuries from now, will make Lil Pump's "Gucci Gang" seem about as musically complex as any piece off of the Brandenburg Concertos.
Who orbits rym accounts? Why follow anyone? I just use it to document my own tastes and what to revisit and contribute to the overall score. I like to decide if I should check out an album based on how it’s received by consensus and not one person. Good for genre exploring too.

Sputnikmusic is pretty based
Dylan Harris
It's all breadtuber tik tok and instagram douches who's top albums and lists are literally no different or barely different from the official Yas Forumscore one. Loveless, MBDTF, Americ anfootball, blue album, CSH, Flowerboy and Channel Orange and barely ventures anything past that and other entry level zoomer arthoecore.

true online music discussion probably unironically only happens in small discords. im sure some rym accounts have discords you can join which will lead you to lesser known ones
Levi Nguyen
Mark Prindle's facebook page is pretty cool. He's friends with a lot of important people in alternative music so sometimes you'll get Lou Barlow or someone else chime in and share stories. RYM community forums can also be good, but trannies and obnoxious zoomers are driving away quality members everyday. Your next best bet would be genre or band specific subreddits. Generally the more popular the genre or band is the shittier the subreddit is.
Brayden Thompson
Actual unironic answer: you need to know someone in order to get into these groups. It's just some cool kid bullshit where you have to make it past the bouncer and be vetted in some way. The easiest way is to be interesting on some stupid shit like twitter. The really hard way is to do your own thing and wait for someone to want to talk to you. What I seriously reccomend is avoiding these groups at all costs. Social groups based on music subcultures are fucking HORRIBLE. They are seriously shitty as FUCK my dude. You have it made posting on Yas Forums exclusively. The amount of groupthink and secret sexual trysts in your average 100 gecs discord is unreal.
Daniel Foster
Clearly you have never tried to use /rym/.
Jace Parker
>100 gecs >expecting listeners and fans to not be sexual degenerate groupthink narcissistic memelords
Also; I live in a PNW uni town with a strong history of the indie/punk/grunge scene. How easy is it to approach and try to make friends with a veteran in a subculture i love/want to be deeply indulged in - like at a show? I saw calvin johnson of beat happening live - but he seemed kind of assholish or at least maybe just extremely awkward/autisti when I approached him - and I just kind of left abruptly and said later man, good show all anxiously (kind of like myself in general desu) and maybe twee folks would be fine/relate - I know/get that twee kids are generally supposed to fit the bill of being real weird/socially inept but maybe I just have an idealized or maybe wrong idea of what/how the people tend to act.
