I don't get why people would get excited with like over half coldplay o_o it just shows that you don't listen to much music at allllll (bar the obvious coldplay...)

I dunno. I don't want to leave all my high school friends but I DEFINITELY don't want to be one of those people who hang out with their high school friends their whole lives, if that makes sense. Move away, I'd make new friends and get along fine. Leaving behind relationships probably blows hard though.

honestly by hipster rules you can't avoid being a hipster are you a hipster? then you're a hipster. are you not a hipster? then you don't care what other people think and you don't fit into tha mainstream hipsters. HIPSTER DESU

Foals are pretty good. But hipster, yeah. I'm annoyed at myself sometimes for listening to so much hipster music because I don't like hipsters but I can't help it because it's just good. :sad:

Thanks Violet. I'm going to just calm down and get a book from the library this summer. :nice: I have plenty of people I can ask for help and I won't hesitate to ask you if I get stuck cuz I'm sure you'd be all nice and be like WOW I WANNA HALP! :D so thanks! :D

It's okay, thanks for being nice :D I think I've just been unintentionally exposed to a lot of the hard stuff cuz I have a significant chunk of friends who are quite well-trained (like 6-10 years of experience) musicians and who just talk about music around each other for shits and gigs. I mean they throw all these WORDS around and it scares me Violet. it really scares me. I guess I should buy a book and sit down at the piano plinking for a while. and then memorize. :blank: I do know what a treble clef is though :awesome: tee hee

Anyone who says that musicians aren't influential because they sound like the mainstream are missing the point that influential musicians shape what the mainstream sounds like, or as seen as doing such. Generally the most famous (hence considered the most influential) musicians of any genre are the ones who did the genre with the same attitude as everyone else, but did it exceptionally well. Were the Beatles totes camotes original in the purest sense of the word? Not quite, they were original, don't get me wrong, but they were good because they fit in with the music of their times. You have to work within the mainstream and do the mainstream very well to be considered influential. I'm too indie to consider mainstream-sounding bands as doing what they do exceptionally well most of the time though so I'd be bad at suggesting something here.

So I think I'm just hugely intimidated by the field in general and don't know where to start at all. My friend's like LEARN HOW TO SING IT'LL TOTES CAMOTES help but I'm like I CANNOT HIT NOTESSSS

Right right, I know the really basic stuff, I can tell when it's in major or minor or whatever you call the bluesy kind. (aren't there a lot of sevenths? herp derp. my dad played a lot of blues around the house when I was younger so I recognize all the bluesy chords I just don't know them by name or anything.) But my friend thinks I'll need to be able to hear intervals in my head to know what they're talking about in AP. And I just don't get how you do that at all. Do I just memorize names of chords and try to recognize them? It just all seems really foreign to me because the terminology is nothing like I've really heard before. Like I listen to my friends who know about music talk about a piece I essentially heard and went "HURR DAT'S NICE" to, and they're like "BLAH BLAH TRITONES BLAH BLAH SEXLETS BLAH DUPLETS BLAH BLAH AUGMENTED BLAH" and then I'm all like "I HEARD WHEN IT STARTED USING A LOT OF BLACK KEYS HURRR" but I don't say that. :( Or I listen to a symphony and I go I LIKE THE NOTES and they're like WOWWW DID YOU HEAR THAT PART BEFORE THE SECOND THEME CAME IN IT DIDN'T DO THE RIGHT CADENCE and I just go WHAT WHAT WAIT WHAT I JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS A LITTLE OFF IS THIS A BIG DEAL? HOW DO YOU KEEP THE THEMES STRAIGHT! THAT DOESN'T EVEN SOUND LIKE THE FIRST TIME THAT CAME UP! HOW IS THAT EVEN A THEME WHAT IS A THEME IF IT ISN'T THE SAME THING REPEATED? But I don't say that I just sit there getting so confused trying not to look like the total noob that I am. yanno.

I'm taking AP Music Theory next year. I'm really looking forward to it but I can barely sight read at the piano. (I'm okay at it for a beginner I think but.... yeah. I'm not so pro at all.) How do you learn music theory by yourself, just the basic stuff. Cuz it's really hard. And I just really need to know the basic stuff by the end of the summer before school starts yo or I'll be so confused. Also how do I improve my pitch? Do I just like, listen to C's a lot and go OKAY. THAT WAS A C. THAT RIGHT THERE WAS A C. C C C. C. OKAY. HALF A STEP UP FROM THAT IS A C#. THAT WAS A C#, BRAIN. OKAY? C SHARP. Or is there some other way you do it? God. I'm not good at this music stuff.

:sad:
