Pretty sad how some people’s brains can’t even handle certain music just because of the quality tbh. Internet’s really got people sheltered more than they’ve ever been.

That's not necessarily true, there's definitely problems in rock with over compression and s*** but there's plenty of techniques that would be considered sophisticated that affect the sound in subtle ways to make a record shine more

people refuse to listen to 128kbps thinking it somehow makes the songs better lol

Noise is an entire genre. you really think it's impossible to like a song because it's lq?

I can say for a fact that lil pump fell off after his music got too polished

or because his meme faded...

ill say rather that I stopped listening to pump after his music got too polished, because it lost its authenticity

Idk if it’s sad most people naturally aren’t gonna be music heads like that

I mean people don’t like spicy food or scary movies or out of the box fashion choices it’s different strokes

i never understood the "too polished" argument either, for any music not just pump

lo-fi music can be beautiful in context of what the music is being presented

Tbh same, the "too-polished" sentiment is kinda dumb imo

Of course bro my point wasn’t anything contrary to that I’m just saying i can understand how a casual fan of a medium isn’t going to appreciate experiment means of expression within the form u smell me

yeah true. I used to hate lo-fi music; it is an acquired taste and also correlates to what genres you listen to outside of just (mainstream) hiphop

the diy indie rock/psych wave leading into bedroom pop & chillwave era s*** prob informed a lot of the lo fi soundcloud type stuff when i think about it

not really, you just had very untalented people making music (anyway) in the case of soundcloud except for a handful of exceptions

Holy f*** i never actually sat and listened to this bullshit. This is so f***ing bad

that would be telling

it isnt that black and white

sound quality is super important and you should use what op said as an excuse to be a lazy f*** and make a s***ty recording

but, for example, on Little Red Corvette, the audio of prince’s vocals are clearly damaged as he recorded them in way too hot, but he loved the takes so he kept them in, and of course the rest is history. one of the best songs oat
