Hey
I’m from /mu/, the worst board
We basically have a system where if you listen to a certain amount of obscure shit then you’re acceptable to the rest of us, even though nobdu in the right mind follows this
About 10 albums are considered “/mu/ core”, Kid A by Radiohead, Merriweather by Animal Collective, Aeroplane Over the sea by Neutral milk hotel etc.
I was just wondering if /lit/ or any other boards had a similar system or if /mu/ really is the most retarded board. Thanks!

I disagree, I actually applaud /lit/ for having a wide variety of taste. Sure theres hate for Pynchon,Wallace,any book by a female,Bukowski,the beats,some classist,some modern philosophers,etc etc. But you will always find people that dont disagree with you, theres alot of a "hivemind" mentality in /li/ sure but alot of people are accepting and willing to help

Those are some basic bitch albums, exactly the reason I left /mu/ years ago. The few people who would be willing to talk about legitimately experimental music are all cramped into /classical/, where threads get routinely derailed to talk about fucking Schumann or whatever other mediocre composer newfags have a hard-on for that particular week.

Reading is a lifelong endeavor. Everyone here knows this, consciously or not. There isn't a preset list of the best books of all time or whatever, just starting guides.

/mu/ might be a toxic dump filled with poseur avant teens and normies, but at least most people who post on that board actually listen to the music they shitpost about.
Here on /lit/, the actual worst board, most of us don't even read the books we talk about.

books are much wider, I could listen to 10 albums in the time I read a single book, and every author writes more books than the average musician releases albums.
