Stoned Ape Hypothesis

I mean like.. isn't XO TOUR Llif3 really just the Bela Lugosi's Dead of our our generation?

Mumble rap is the new shoe gazer.....right?.

Topic of observation. And if you can read that and make slight sense of it, not get mad, and find the humor in it, you're killing it.

My statement was made to be sarcastic, and, ironic, which isn't the right word by definition, but it's the hipster adjective I'd use, cause it's easier than actually establishing the reality of similarity in trend patterns.

But.

I'm going to. It's ironic to think about things and discuss them, though, being articulate is kind of the opposite of what you'd expect, right?

Let me start. I hadn't heard of Bauhaus before the other night, but probably had heard this song and maybe some of their others with out realizing. I was fucking all about it, though, after listening to it.

Thx Andee. Thx wiggles.

You got me stoked on a classic tune, at the goddamn chart, that's just cryptic vocals, a simple bass line, little to no song structure, and prominent focus on random sounds that only make sense if you've don't acid or were born off and don't need to.

I loved It. It kinda reminds me of Bowie in a sense of how ahead it was, but you know, Bowie made good music and didn't have to break up the band, and they covered Bowie about the year his music should have came out, and broke up.

Bowie influenced them, according to Wikipedia, as well as the general Bowie influence truth.

I digress.

My point is. They had a great sound. Similar and certainly influenced by music of that time and yet unique enough to..

Be famous? To...I guess their hipster fan base then, which still probably made more money than being talented now, some almost 40 years later..a small minority knows who the fuck they are.Maybe. But they influenced a wide fucking mass of ears that do so now.

When you are doing something new, it's an experiment. It doesn't how far you vary from the already documented. You're testing, in this case sounds.

3/4 of the current rock music I listen to was influenced by this group, it's influences, or a an influenced group.

I'm gonna get down to the fucking point of this.

Bela..sounds like this.

Xo tour life sounds like this.

I was drunk. I don't fuckin know Bela..she's dead? We'll all my friends are dead—undead undead undead.

I don't really care if you cry.

Hip hop is dead,

But like. All your friends are dead when you turn 30, the studies say..because you can't discover new music..

Insert a rap beat that samples more shoe gazing notes of any bauhaus...

Music was so much better 60 years ago. Or 50. Or 40. Or even like 30, I mean there was good shit in the 90s. The 2000s sucked for music.. until I heard good music and not just radio. At like age 10... and like 2010s still great.

But it was never as good as it was, and that's the narrative I get, from old souls in ancient temples or fresh tombs, to young souls building new temples and buried in old tombs.

Music was never better. Your ears tell you what's good. What's good, is subjective. It's art. It doesn't cap out, it evolves, and it's easy to conclude that the simplicity yet nuance of it stops when you want it to.

Lil uzi will never be bauhaus, but every rock band influenced by them won't be, either. They won't ever be Bowie, and no one will ever be the doors. Lil uzi will never be Wu, or Pac, or flash. And no rapper will be the same funk the music was born from, or the jazz it all started as.

On to another point.

Rock has this luxury of evolution and inherent disqualification. There are bands who do what their influences did, but better. And yeah. You can tell me that there's no good new rock music, but you can also make an easy disqualification from the genre to anything that you don't think fits. You won't listen to new, and what you choose to hear is quick to become pop in general, If it doesn't fit.

That twang, tho. That solo, tho. That breakdown. That drop.

Music. Rock and fucking roll. It’s not about the effect of one person, one critic. It’s about the effect on the whole crowd.

We now have algorithms that demonstrate connections, patterns, influences: evolution.

Music is ageless if you watch it grow. And it’s always timeless when you’re stuck in an era.

Sounding different, sounding classic, sounding ironic or comedic, these are revolutionary notes.

I’d be dead if it wasn’t for music. Some people have died creating it. Respect the variation. We all have differing appreciation.
