My Opinion on Music

[pieface101 285]

My Opinion on Music

 

 

Ever since the dawn of time (well, not really), humans have always enjoyed one simple thing. Eating. Well, ok, maybe this article isn't about eating. But let's first celebrate human gluttony with a meme:

 

 

Anyways... let's try again.

 

Every since the dawn of time, humans have always enjoyed one thing. And that is music. Admittedly, the first forms of music were crude. A caveman banged two rocks together and bam! Percussion. So they invented heavy metal before classical music. Go figure.

 

Then humans became more... civilized... and came up with ancient harp music. Now this music was boring by today's standards, but they probably jammed out to it considering everything else they had were goats bleating and rocks smashing.

 

Then came classical music. It hit the world by storm and became an instant success. Stuff like Beethoven's Ode to Joy and Mozart's Turkish March were playing on all the radio stations, um, ballrooms. I don't particularly like this era of music considering the music wasn't that energetic and this was the time where people wore fancy stuff and danced in ballrooms. Way too formal. Not fun.

 

Anyways... moving on. Sometime around the 20th Century, Rock, Blues, Jazz, Disco, Pop, all popped up (incredibly bad pun intended) and hey, I have respect for this era. Plus, that's when TV and radios and everything appeared. It's also the start of the internet.

 

Then we hit the 21st Century. Pop, EDM, Dubstep, Metal, all like, appeared I guess. Anyways, that's where we are now. Please don't comment down below that your favorite music is Czerny's 29th Symphony or whatever.

 

I just gave you an unofficial history of music. You're welcome.

 

So you may be wondering what this article is about. I mean, I could probably end it here and break the 400-word limit or whatever, especially considering the filler I put at the beginning. First, however, I would like to put the definition of opinion here real quick:

 

a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.

 

Okay. Glad we could clear that up.

 

Anyhow, this article is about... my opinion of music worth listening to. First, I will be reviewing a lot of music, so if you don't want to click all the links (because I don't know how to insert a video), then this probably won't make much sense.

 

Second, I'm pretty sure that most seniors wouldn't be playing a game where you move tanks around and shoot other tanks, and constantly spam the chat with "n00b", "drugger", and the ever so popular "gold box pls admin" (which somehow still exists, even after all the PSAs from SOC3 and fellow tankers). However, if you are a senior and playing Tanki, then please know that the musical tastes of this generation may be different from your generation.

 

I'll use the fictional character Grandpa Irwin Joe to demonstrate a point. This is not meant to offend anyone, it's just a stereotypical character. Grandpa Joe is a 200-yr old man, is in the Guinness Book of World Records, and enjoys classical music. He doesn't see what kids enjoy about "music these days" with their earsplitting noises and shameful lyrics. I'm also imagining Grandpa Joe is the kind of person who can't use a computer to save his life, and claims that computers are ruining the minds of children and that back in his day he used libraries to get "real entertainment", not this "Internet thingy". Now, if you're a Grandpa Joe, I'm not really gonna argue with you as there's no point.

 

Sike! Okay, Grandpa Joe, I'll try to make my argument, but at the end of the day, it's all down to opinions.

 

The Argument

 

First, answer the question "What is the point of music?"

 

If your answer was "relaxing noise to listen to in the background", then yeah, I can see where you're coming from, Grandpa Joe. However, it's the 21st Century, where entertainment is just a few clicks away. My thought on the point of music is "a form of entertainment for the ear".

 

So that's a pretty vague definition. However, if you played classical music, then today's people would quickly fall asleep. After all, we are being bombarded with information, from Google to social media. Any lapse in information would be replaced by boredom. So the ideal music for the 21st Century is music that carries a lot of information. Fast and energetic music would be the best choices. (Keep in mind I'm not a music expert so I don't know the actual answer to the question)

 

So what about loud, screeching noises? Well, to the untrained ear, it would certainly sound like such, but, if you're familiar with the fast and energetic music, you can decipher a melody and rhythm from that. I also believe that the loud noises keep viewer awake and paying attention. Imagine turning down your volume so that the music becomes barely audible. Yes, it probably wouldn't sound as good.

 

You still might not be convinced that such music is necessarily good, though. I'm about to present a foolproof argument (#PieBrags) that will be the clincher, though. Ever heard "survival of the fittest" before? Go on, Grandpa Joe, look it up in your library. I can wait a few hours. Or you can look it up on Google in just a minute. Anyways, according to my good pal Charles Darwin, there's a thing called Natural Selection. Now, Natural Selection, (or NS) is the process where organisms better adapted to their environment survive longer to reproduce, while organisms ill-adapted to their environment die out. Eventually, the organisms change, or evolve, over time because only those best adapted to their environment are left.

 

Now how can we apply NS to music? Well, think about it this way. Two bands each release a piece of music (or composer, depending on what era you're living in  :angry:). One piece is better than the other. That piece begins to sell more copies than the other piece. The band that was better survived (and had enough money) to record (or compose) another piece, whilst the other band was left working for McDonald's. Over time, only the good bands remain, while the bad bands are left working for McDonalds.

 

On an unrelated sidenote, check out IceJJFish and try not to cringe

 

Okay... that may have been an unrealistic simplification, but you get the point though, right? Over time, music better adapted to their audience survives, while other genres die out. Tis what happened to classical music and banging rocks (I mean seriously, when do you ever see someone jamming out to, say, Tchaikovsky?). So, Grandpa Joe, do you have any counterarguments? Don't worry, though, you can always blame the NS.

 

Geddit? No?  :( .

 

Whatever, Grandpa Joe, you can leave now. Done? Okay, moving on.

 

Genres of Music

 

There are many adjectives that describe me. Ignorant Pie. Narcissistic Pie. Self-Proclaimed Ruler of the World Pie. And they're all true  :P . So don't hunt me down for only including a few genres of music, some which have died out in this list of best genres of music, okay?

 

Classical: 1/10

 

I can't sit through more than 1 minute of any classical piece.

 

Blues: 2/10

 

Slightly more exciting, but still, the melodies aren't exactly what you would jam to.

 

Traditional Music (from any region of the world, Arabian, Chinese, African, etc.): 3/10

 

I'm not saying Traditional Music sucks. It's great, and when I was making this list, I realized a lot of these music genres were from an American point of view, so I decided to add this in. This genre mainly is so diverse that it's hard to give a score. Some parts would score between Rock and Metal, while others would be between Blues and Jazz.

 

Jazz: 4/10

 

I would've given Jazz a much lower score if it weren't for this (course you could argue that it isn't jazz, but still  <_< ; also, yes, I'm a cancerous Undertale fan and proud, despite never actually playing the game).

 

Rock: 5/10

 

What I consider right in the middle. Not good enough to be "good music" that I'll jam to, but not bad enough so that I click out of it immediately.

 

Metal: 6/10

 

Before kills me, let me explain ,okay? I mean, I can totally see where you're coming from with this one. It's got nice, catchy rhythms, but the real kill factor is it's too heavy for my liking.

 

Pop/Rap: 7/10

 

Used to be my favorite genre, what with songs like Closer, Fight Song, and Best Day of My Life.

 

Dubstep: 8/10

 

I also can easily see where you're coming from. However, the thing about Dubstep is that it's make or break. Some songs I just don't like, while others, like Turn Down For What and My Heart are amazing.

 

EDM (Electronic Dance Music): 9/10

 

Spectacular. I'll hit you with a famous one right off the bat: Alan Walker-Faded (which is currently sitting at almost a whopping 1B views). Actually, I'm not sure if Faded would be EDM, so here's another one DEAF KEV-Invincible. EDM has that balance of rhythm, melody, and I wouldn't say adrenaline but I don't know what it's called. Also, Geometry Dash.

 

What could beat EDM?

 

Melodic House: 10/10

 

Huhhh... WHAT IN THE WORLD IS MELODIC HOUSE PIE???

 

Sheesh, calm down. First, let me say there's a blurry line between Melodic House, EDM, and Dubstep. And I only knew of the name "Melodic House" when someone on YouTube corrected me, so I'm trusting him. Now some songs might be in different categories so, ok? Tobu-Candyland, currently sitting at around 22M views. There's also Ahrix-Nova and Alan Walker-Spectre, and maybe our pal Faded from EDM. This is also a genre of music where it mysteriously sounds better and better the more you listen to it.

 

So there you have it! My rankings of music genres, which will probably be criticized and scrutinized by viewers, and I'll be ostracized, never to return (it's a fun word to say, so?). However, after ranking the music genres, it's only fitting that I should rank the music itself...

And without further ado, let us begin (I'm too lazy to post links, just Google everything)!

 

20: Vexento-Masked Heroes

 

The only song by Vexento on here, and his most famous one, Masked Heroes starts off reminding me of a bird chirping (IDK). However, continue listening and it'll hop into a funky beat. It would've been higher on this list if it weren't for the repetitive tune.

 

19: TheFatRat-Xenogenesis

 

Fun fact: My story, Euphoria, (#PieAdvertising), was going to be named Xenogenesis. Anyways, this song has many of the ingredients of a good song. A great beat, a bass drop, and two different melodies that alternate. However, the tune isn't that catchy, and there is a pretty annoying whirring part halfway through.

 

18: Tobu-Higher

 

When I first heard Tobu-Higher, my thoughts were "Meh" at best. It was way too bouncy for my liking, and the beginning especially. However, after listening to it some more, I managed to pick out a melody. It's a great song, but it falls in the same category as Xenogenesis, namely, the tune isn't that catchy.

 

17: TheFatRat-Unity

 

Unless you've been living under a rock, you've probably heard this tune somewhere, if not its name. No, you've definitely heard this tune somewhere. It's light, happy, catchy, and fun. So where did this go wrong? It's waaaaaaaaay too overused and there is a cancerous singing part a few minutes in. Be warned.

 

16: Alan Walker-Fade

 

The annoying little brother of perhaps one of the best songs in existence (which will appear on this list, by the way). Fade isn't really that kind of song you would jam to. It's sorta slow, and not that catchy. However, granted, it is a great song, but overshadowed.

 

15: Tobu-Infectious

 

Confusing. The melody isn't exactly great, and it switches between multiple tunes with large pauses in between. It shouldn't be on this list if it weren't for the fact that it doesn't really do anything wrong. Yes, the tune may not be that good compared to other songs on this list, but it is better than most, and it does have some variety.

 

14: TheFatRat-Windfall

 

You would expect a song titled Windfall to be epic. It disappoints slightly in that aspect, but makes up for it with it's great tune. Whenever I listen to it, I get an incredible feeling of nostalgia. The only downside I can think of is its slowness and simplicity.

 

13: DEAF KEV-Invincible

 

This song starts off with a bang! Beginning slowly, it immediately launches you into an epic tune. If you listen to a lot of music, you'll know what I'm talking about when I say it's slightly glitchy. I could listen to the tune all day. The only problem? When the main melody ends, a disappointing side melody begins.

 

12: OM*G-Hello

 

The only song on this list that you can burp out. Not kidding. It's got a great melody, but the problem is that its lyrics are "gur, gur gur gur gur gur gur gur gur gur, gur gur gur, gur gur gur gur gur..." Nevetheless, it's an incredibly popular song on YouTube so I had to put it here.

 

11: DJ Snake ft. Lil Jon Turn Down For What

 

Because you saw this coming. Seriously, it's catchy and there's nothing really wrong with it IMO. Except for the music video, which was strange and questionable. One could also argue that it is repetitive, but I'm not gonna go there.

 

10: TheFatRat-Jackpot

 

This and #9 came in a close tie; they were pretty similar and were both great. However, after much consideration, I decided to put Jackpot in the #10 spot. Jackpot is the title track of TheFatRat's Jackpot EP.

 

9: TheFatRat-Epic

 

Epic is the second track from the Jackpot EP. Not much to say about this one really. It's got a nice tune, it's catchy, and it has a drop. Really. Also, I totally did not just copy paste that.

 

8: Ahrix-Nova

 

Great song, and the 4th most views on NCS (No Copyright Sounds, it's a great YouTube channel). Ahrix Nova has all the qualities of Melodic House. It's a great song, but sadly too slow for my liking. Rest assured Nova, you're sitting at a steady 88M views.

 

7: Different Heaven and EH!DE-My Heart

 

What I call dubstep at it's finest  ;) . I know some may argue, so I remind you to view the definition of opinion. Anyways, apart from the fake-sounding singing (still better than some other ppl who use autotune, just saying), it's got a great beat and is heavy, but not too much so. Also, don't tell me the tune isn't catchy as a cold (more bad jokes!).

 

6: Alan Walker-Spectre

 

Welp. Here we have it. The catchiest tune of all tunes. The Lord of the Tunes. Whatever you call it, you can't deny the fact that it is way too overused on YouTube, which is why this landed only at #6. By the time you get around to listening to it, it's already lost its novelty, but for those of you who don't frequent the tubes, enjoy!

 

5: Tobu-Candyland

 

Based on my scrolling through the comments, a lot of people believe that this is the best of Tobu, but it is overrated imo. However, that doesn't make it a bad song, just that I have one I believe is better  :D . The happy vibes it gives off are truly out of this world.

 

4: Alan Walker-Faded

 

How do you jump up twelve spots on this list just by adding vocals? I have no idea either, but I happen to love Faded. Plus, it's one of the most watched non-pop music videos on YouTube at around 975 million views.

 

3: TheFatRat-Never Be Alone

 

You can probably tell by now that I'm biased towards TheFatRat and Tobu, but this song is just gold. It's not exactly the most intense song on this list, far from it in fact, but the feels just run deep. I probably confused you now with my un-poetic-ness?  :lol: 

 

2: Itro and Tobu-Cloud 9

 

This song was my first impression of Tobu, and it was brilliant. Incredibly well done and not too heavy or light, this song is spot on. It's hard for me not to hum this tune, so it would be amazing in a "Try Not to Hum Challenge" (like a try not to sing challenge, except lacking vocals). Bouncy, fun, it really makes you feel like you're flying among the clouds.

 

Before I unveil my number 1 pick, here are a few Forgot to Mentions:

 

Forgot to Mentions:

(Like Honorable Mentions, but I just forgot to include on this list)

 

-Tobu Colors (would be between 15th and 5th)

-TheFatRat Time Lapse (would be between 9th and 3rd)

-Disfigure Blank (would be between 16th and 13th)

 

So yeah, go check them out, they're pretty good too. Course you don't have to if you don't want to since I didn't add any text gushing over them xD. Well done Pie, well done.

 

And now for...

 

1: TheFatRat ft. Laura Brehm-Monody

 

How do I explain this? It's epic. The beginning just reminds me of something big, I don't know, Lord of the Rings? Then, about half a minute or so through, it changes into a fun, bouncy tune. Even the vocals add to the overall feeling of "it's a lot bigger than you thought", which would normally detract from the overall song, but in this case (and #3, #4), I decided to make an exception. Truly a musical masterpiece, and hey, it looks like most of the people in the comments section agree with me!

 

 

Conclusion

 

So there you have it! My opinion on music; which genres were the best, which songs were the best, and yeah... that's it. Congratulations for making it through this exceptionally long article (unless you skipped here, in which case, good job nug :angry: hope ur proud of urself). You've just wasted some of your life.

 

What?

 

It's true. You spent some time reading this article and came away with nothing. Because of my stalker cameras behind you, I know that you didn't actually take the time to listen to any of the songs. So great. You read an article and then nothing.

 

Unless, of course, you managed to learn something. Maybe Natural Selection (NS). Maybe your horizons broadened. Or maybe, just maybe, you listened to the music and came away with a wider selection of I dunno... songs you think sound good.

 

this was secretly a persuasive essay

 

PLOT TWIST: Grandpa Joe was the one writing this whole article. (Yeah, I killed Pie)

 

DOUBLE PLOT TWIST: Pie=Grandpa Joe, so I'm still alive (wat)

Approved.

 

-Made the colours in the lists the same, since the changes seemed quite random.

-Minor grammar and spelling edits.

 

You might want to lessen off the use of words like "anyways", since it isn't very nice when used a lot and close together.

 

 

 

 

 Imagine turning down your volume so that the music becomes barely audible. Yes, it probably wouldn't sound as good.

 

 

Unless, you know, it's the Biebs

 

 

Also, I'd highly recommend bands like the Kings of Leon and the Dire Straights, if you want to, y'know, broaden your horizons and all that.

[r_I_already_won0 2,339]

Ridiculous article from such a great writer, quite disappointing.

 

If you can't listen to classical music without falling asleep that's your own problem. In fact it is not meant to put you to sleep most pieces are extremely complex and enjoyable.  It is not supposed to be something to listen to in the background, but something to actively enjoy.

 

I have nothing against rock music and more modern developments but I will say that the reason classical music is so unpopular nowadays is people don't have the intelligence/sophistication to appreciate classical music.  Pop music especially is so shallow and repetitive, there is no intuition, no art in it.

 

I'll give you my word as a classical musician, it is one of the highest arts known to mankind.  Quite honestly this piece will shows your ignorance of the development of music.  One of my friends wrote an entire book on the development of the sonata form alone.

 

But at least you emphasized that it was your "opinion" Credit to that. :)

 

And now to stop with the harshness. :P  Nice work on the contemporary section, good list.

I really do not get the point of criticising the content of an opinion article. It's his opinion and he is entitled to his own opinion. You know that it's his opinion yet you label it 'ridiculous'. One should respect other's opinion rather than calling it 'ridiculous' as everyone has a different viewpoint.

I'll admit to being a little biased as my first impression of classical music was from my piano teacher and she didn't do a very good job of it.

When I saw "pop/rap" paired together:

 

Seriously, they are not the same. At all. pop is mostly 4-5/10, while rap (depending on artist) is mostly 8-9/10.

Either way, the title is your opinion on music, so I guess I can disagree.

[Viking4s 10,791]

my quick take on this

[Vikingsrallentando 3,058]

Perhaps you should have put your opinion disclaimer in the beginning as your description of Music History is grossly inaccurate. "Unofficial" or not, it's hard to take the rest of the article seriously. The analogy to Natural Selection demonstrates why good music gets recognized, not actually why music is created. You seem to be giving a genuine opinion, but is the meme necessary?

[pieface101 285]

I understand that I upset a lot of people when I wrote this article, especially because of the lack of research on my part. I guess I can call myself a bit of a hypocrite because I despise ignorant people :P . Anyways, thanks for the constructive criticism, I'll try not to make a mistake like this again. Some parts of the article were meant in jest, i.e., the hating on classical music because at the time of writing I thought that no one enjoyed that genre anymore. Reading over it again, I can understand why it would offend some people:

 

Then came classical music. It hit the world by storm and became an instant success. Stuff like Beethoven's Ode to Joy and Mozart's Turkish March were playing on all the radio stations, um, ballrooms. I don't particularly like this era of music considering the music wasn't that energetic and this was the time where people wore fancy stuff and danced in ballrooms. Way too formal. Not fun.

Please don't comment down below that your favorite music is Czerny's 29th Symphony or whatever.

 

.......................................................................................................................................................................................................

 

Classical: 1/10

 

I can't sit through more than 1 minute of any classical piece.

I'll try not to make the same mistakes again, thanks for the feedback!  ;)

[Vikingsrallentando 3,058]

To make my point more clear; it should be one or the other. You could give your opinion or do a goof article. Your serious opinion with facts or just do satire with few facts.

*In your opinion. This is the Amateur Writing section; they can write it how they will. I do agree though that you have to make the facts extremely defined compared to the opinions. so that people don't just assume you are making assumptions.

 

Overall, nice article. You were definitely very through. Gj.

Can't go wrong with TheFatRat and Alan Walker, but tbh:

 

 

Czerny's 29th Symphony is the best.

Whenever I hear Dubstep, it's like my ears are being sawed off.

All this computer crap we're hearing today; BLOORRGH.

 

Give me a bass guitar and I'll lock in with the drums to give a solid foundation for the boogie rock.

AC-DC ftw. Ah, when you find that sweet spot in the rhythm... It's like... you know.

 

I do like a fair share of classical music and jazz for my studying aswell. And I really love those old 90's hardcore stuff.

As a guitarist, drummer and bassist; Your taste of music is the absolute opposite of mine, but I respect everyone's taste.
