/lit/ - Literature

o she's lovely; she's grand; she's my workout theme on afternoon sunny days; she's grand; florid, descriptive;

and emily i saw thee laughing
down by the river
and the meteorite is what we see; and the meteoroid; and the meteor

i see the blossoms broke; and wet; after the rain
tiny nooses, safe from everyone

o, she's lovely; read the romantics; read shakespeare; she's shakespearean; she's romantic; particular shelley; go on, go on; she's got really golden locks of hair; i dream of her; go on

Pop music is equivalent to genre trash or fanficiton. I always thought that at least lit has some idea what music has always been about. One measure of Wagner has more music in it than her entire oeuvre

>>11426709
wagner is the beginning of pop music by elevating the moment of sound above the development of the themes

in this sense it is accurate to say that Taylor Swift is a better artist than Wagner because she has prettier moments of sound

>>11426709
I wouldn't call Ys pop music but whatever.

THIS. Finally a refined ear on 4chan. The amount of things that /mu/ calls "music" is embarrassing.

>>11426679
I don't get it. Why not just use commas? Or the emm dash if you want to be patrician.

>>11426655

Yeah, everybody is a fucking musician today. God forbid someone points out that once upon a time music meant craft

>>11427235
You're thinking of Have One On Me, which is an adaptation of Ulysses from Molly's perspective.

>>11427291
Music never meant craft you idiot people have been making simple folk music since before meme classical was an idea

What’s the literary equivalent of this?

The mixture of the sacred and sublime with the profane and material? Where the highs of the work are some of the artists greatest, and his lowest are some of his greatest lows?
