Music theory more than any other theory of aesthetics is haunted by Pythagorean number-cult reductionism. "Music is math" "music is spatial geometry" I never really liked these analogies.
Thursday is 7pm is October because they share a distance to completion and that has a feeling, and the ability to perceive feelings of spatial geometry is what makes music good
@Zer0reflect You are so eternally downstream from anything genuinely profound that you think "processing trauma" is actually a smart and interesting metaphor to project onto the backrooms
There's 0 contradiction here. The Mayans come along and carelessly sweep away Jaguar Paw's tribe. Then the Europeans come along and carelessly sweep away the Mayans. Perfect symmetry.
Insane for Mel Gibson to make like this INCREDIBLY racist movie for like 99% of it only to sort of pull the rug and be like 'yeah what comes immediately after this is so much fucking worse' with one shot
Seems like Apocalypto is getting the Starship Troopers treatment, i.e. the low iq left and low iq right argue over its interpretation in the gayest, most moralistic way ever.

@dystopiangf The stipulation is that this "new art" should evolve from the old. Every great piece art I can think of is rooted in a longheld aesthetic tradition, but has to overcome that tradition and extend upwards out from the old style. New flowers springing from ancient branches.
Many people on here seem to think they are not normie because they socialized on the internet rather than irl, even though that's just the distinction between a zoomer normgroid and a millennial normgroid
@BreatheLesss You're forgetting that tradition can be understood intuitively. A medieval peasant "gets" the Gothic cathedral on a level below the intellect. The average American could "get" jazz without learning any theory at all.
