Just heard this guy at the bar say “you don’t know music if you don’t understand the guitar, and you can’t understand the guitar if you don’t listen to John Mayer”

I’m at the Rockists are the worst type of music fan thread
I’m at the combination Americana funeral and Rockists are the worst type of music fan thread
Rapists are obviously far superior

john mayer is pretty amazing imo (as a guitar player anyway) but yeah rockists are insufferable
Bro was gatekeeping John Mayer music at a bar?
To impress a woman nonetheless

Oh yeah as a professional musician these are guys the worst (and usually lowkey racist). They don't understand the flow of music history + culture + economics and why, for example, a kid today would prefer to use a laptop wit good 808 samples to make music as opposed to an electric guitar (it is a heavier sound that is wayy cheaper to produce. I still love guitars don't @ me) unfortunately they also happen to be like 80% of music conservatory professors. So yeah, that is why you never hear about anyone graduating Berklee/Julliard and doing anything TRULY innovative. I try to explain to guys like this that both Zeppelin and Kanye are equally important in the grand scheme of music and they just usually guffaw and proclaim their superiority because they "play a real instrument" and "make real music" To hell with em!
