    If sales can be a metric of quality then quality can be measured, to an extent, by an objective metric

    ergo music is not (entirely) subjective

    the logical extent of the postmodernist rallying cry that "music is subjective" must be that we deny that sales are reflective of quality at all

    But I don’t think that by rule it has to be an end sum spectrum like that. What’s wrong with saying high sales = doing something right and low sales = was made for a more niche audience/less available for purchase, etc.

  • They got to add an app to phone that shows how many streams a song has live so that you guys value it. Like Nigga just go on Youtube comment first and "who here for stream a million" over and over we do no care

    Sales can be an indicator of quality, not the only one and maybe not always the most important. I think the music sxn knows that too. They just say this to shut down discussion.

    But people acknowledge this when for example GKMC stays on the charts for hundreds of weeks. That's a massive indicator of how good the album is

    i mean i agree

    im just saying that that's why people end up on that corner, that they deny objective metrics mean anything at all

    See this is what I believe. I don’t like Taylor Swift at all, but I think I’d look crazy to suggest that in her lane, she’s not one of the best at what she does even if it’s not meant for me

    same reason those new star wars movies made billions bro

    bad albums can sell incredibly well due to the clout an artist has earned for themselves based on previous work

    I see that point, but that’s within the context of recently released music.

    What do we say for people who, for instance, don’t think BTS makes “real music”, etc.

    BTS is a great example of aesthetics driving the sales to the moon tbh

    But you don’t think a visual element can be a part of the music? I think pop music especially relies on the music being paired with a visual aesthetic and I don’t think that’s bad. I just thinks that’s a part of the genre.

    but fanbases listen regardless of quality because they like the ambiance. The same way friends had a lot of seasons but isnt funny same with frasier

    same with simpsons still

    the list goes on
