Not unless you start posting as something comparable. every time you post.

>>12823803
Well, yeah. And your response, with its anger at an offense I never intended, is proof of that. What the real subtext of the post was is:

"Florid flesh? Am I one who curses the over-ornamented body? I prefer to think of myself as laying a curse on whatever words I speak, leading to misinterpretation, disconnections. etc."

And that's kind of what just happened, no?

>>12823796
Ok. I'll think of a new one. Give me some time.

>>12823788
No, you're reading into that post as being directly about you. It was about me, and the feeling that I am cursed in general.

>>12823783
What am I doing wrong? Is it that I'm using words you don't? I have a useless degree in Lit, educators spent fucking years drilling this vocab into my head.

Is it my tendency to touch on all manner of topics?

What would you have me change?

You accused me of lauding my own intellect. I said that I am an idiot, as i have said in a number of ways previously.

My point is that you're making more outta my post than I ever intended anyone to.

>>12823759
It's not bait. It's an opinion, nothing more. It may be totally diff from yours. I personally don't and have never liked that whole magic mike look.

>>12823756
I never said I was intelligent. I've said the opposite over and over, actually. I've called myself a stunted, grandiose, broken, ill-equipped reject many times. And I've only been posting for like... 2 days?

Black Culture in America has really been defined by recontextualizing existing media & other shite, not making sweepingly grand inventions.

That doesn't mean that a certain brilliance is not required to repurpose a turntable as an instrument or create new meanings to attach to existing human artifacts.

>>12823747
Wow.

Wow.

What should I do, then?

BTW, the name is not a trip, and it's inherently self deprecating.

"Will never s" core

dating an SJW turned me off to so much of liberalism at large, it astounds me. I mean, it blows me away to really take stock of how far backwards the mentality has taken civilization and humanity as a whole.

>>12823715
Yeah, it is. It employed a storyteller, was performed in rhyming couplets over music and rhythm. The basic ingredients are all there. The real difference between western and african musics seems to be, to me, a structural disparity.

Western shit is linear. Start - finish.

An African drum circle, a traditional DJ, an instrumental? Circular.

>You know blacks didn't even invent rap

No, do tell! You make it sound like the concept had existed since Homer and Odysseus. anon.

Stunted social development is my problem, too. Or it was, at least. I spent every free moment I had that wasn't spent convincing /fa/ to dress like rejects from "Alien" in the pursuit of discovering turntablism, synthesis, sampling and composition in general. From 16-35, that's what I've done. I still do it.

Thing is, I do fine socially and have for some time on the account that my mastery of this thing I respect so deeply allows me to feel worthy of setting down whatever path I feel like traversing.

FFS, I'm bald, nearing forty and have every reason to hate myself even more than I do - but I can look at my accomplishments in a very concrete way, I can listen to them, or see the artwork I've had published, and it makes me feel capable and competent to the core, you know?

TLDR I think you can skip that stuff that most people learn in youth via trial and error IF you figure out another way to get past the proverbial social firewalls.

>>12823680
True as well. But I think a strong personality and confidence can overcome the biological influences via what amounts to elaborate and far-reaching variations on the basic concept of the "mating dance".

I mean, art, that's a dance, that's an attractor, right?

>>12823669
Girls like and want what they're told to. Men do, too.

>>12823661
There is no concrete definition of romance, IMO - outside of a genuine human connection that allows you to cast aside those fears you speak of.

Ergo.... What you want, deep down, is a release from your fears, which I'm guessing are rooted in social shit.

Right direction?

Truly wealthy people can define and create aesthetics as they see fit.

>>12823651
HAHAHAHAHA

Making money offa beat selling is a fickle game that kinda requires you to violate an artistic creed you may or may not have and operate by formula while still producing quality.

Techno is such a different mindset, such a different flow and logic, you need to not underestimate the complexity of something like... minimal dub techno. That shit is more concerned about the specific qualities of every individual sound in the arrangement. You CAN spend 6 hours synthing the right kick drum for a seemingly simple track, no lie.

Ambient is always easiest, IMO - if you know how to think outside the box. If you know how to turn field recordings into the components of a good ambient track.

You'll make money with remixing, assuming you have the connects. I've done a bit a of that, a bit of ghost production and I can flip pretty much any genre outside of jungle.

Metal is played ATM, I would wait and choose between electronic, true-skool or pop-tier hip hop.
