Indie music

True indies listen too arctic monkeys, the wombats, the kooks, the smiths, the 1975, declan mckenna, gerry cinnamon, tyler the creator, the verve, oasis, foals, kaiser chiefs, two door cinema club, the vaccines, courteneers, the libertines.

Indies are typically wearing adidas, listening to music and smoking.

However, some think musicians such as clairo and joji are indie - However this is not true they are for people who want to be “different” but love pop music
That girl so listens to indie music you can tell with her arctic monkeys top and adidas bucket hat

music theory

Something that music snobs put a lot of attention into. In reality, unless you want to learn how to play like someone else instead of having your own style, music theory is useless. I mean, did the Blues guitarists who lived in the Mississippi Delta have access to music theory? No! And they laid down the innovations that modern musicians still use today! Kurt Cobain even said that music theory is useless unless you want to be coffee shop singer and is a distraction to making music your own thing. And he changed rock music for an entire generation!
Music student from Berklee (MSB): "What'cha doing?"
Me: "Playing the guitar. I just love this instrument so much. It's simplicity brings music to the masses. Every note rings 'Hey! You do not need expensive classes or fancy instruments to enjoy music!'"
MSB: "Well anyone will suck as a musician without proper music theory training."
Me: "So Jimi Hendrix, the Beatles, the Clash, Nirvana, and nearly every multi-platinum selling artists failed as musicians because they did not have any music training?"
MSB: "Well..."
Me: "And these chords that I am playing with the basic knowledge, regardless of the complexity of the composition, I have is shit because I do not have a musically trained background?"
MSB: "I guess so..."
Me: "Well I am not in debt to a fancy music school and I still know how to play music so you're the idiot. I win!"

musical orgasm

The point in a song where the tune or beat rapidly switches from mellow to super intense. Or a song which builds up slowy to one huge instrumental explosion. Usually musical orgasms consist of an intense drum beat or guitar riff. A few examples are 'Radiohead - Fake Plastic Trees' at 2:36, or 'Coldplay - Fix You (album Version)' at 3:02.
This song as an flawless musical orgasm about three minutes into it.

Music Banter

A forum made up of people with absolutely no social life, trying to decide whose "record collection" is bigger. This site contains many pretentious biologists so be wary when entering. If you cannot use proper grammar, and have low self esteem avoid at all costs.
