The whole tenor of my adult life was watching the rest of the world try and cancel out all the noble ideals we dirty fucking hippies tried to implement. So *everything* got dumbed down. Lowest common denominators can get reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally low...<br /><br />That said, some genres were easier to ruin than others and, before they could despoil all the music in the world, they had to figure out which genres were easiest to trivialize. I could seriously entertain an argument that minimalism was hyped because they recognized how easy it was to hack.<br /><br />parmalee, if you're still on this thread, what is it that you do?mandolinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17170194575398601790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-19715706865891235572020-01-21T11:23:02.086+01:002020-01-21T11:23:02.086+01:00I thought that was House music and lashings of Ecs...I thought that was House music and lashings of Ecstacy?Jonny Zchivagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09859740264284241032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-15933128700966070742020-01-21T10:59:03.120+01:002020-01-21T10:59:03.120+01:00I read somewhere that mimimalism was a plot to ero...I read somewhere that mimimalism was a plot to erode the critical faculties of American citizens so that decades later they would think it was a perfectly good idea to put Donald Trump in the White House.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-59831687570363974292020-01-21T10:33:22.960+01:002020-01-21T10:33:22.960+01:00I want to add that not all minimalism sucks imho: ...I want to add that not all minimalism sucks imho: There was Soft Verdict alias Wim Mertens and the early Michael Nyman (with a nice 7" from 1981 produced by David "Flying Lizard" Cunningham). They created some pieces of real beauty. But although "officially" minimal music, there are melodies and you could consider it as "pop" in comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmtY6U0KwoIWolfganghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10801279227658458160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8624282421125812337.post-3583885878378965632020-01-21T05:11:28.557+01:002020-01-21T05:11:28.557+01:00I read somewhere that serialism was developed so t...I read somewhere that serialism was developed so the Nazis could communicate secret orders back and forth.
