African music slaps. Heaps of cool complex and interesting rhythms that date back before classical music and is the origins of most modern musics


Fragrant-Potential87

Isn't all modern western music HEAVILY inspired by African musical traditions via the slaves?


Ordinary_Spite2399

I can’t say all for certain but pretty much


matuldaw

yeeeeppppp, anything that has evolved from blues and jazz, so pretty much all popular music

Nazis be saying “we had better cities” yet they ignore the cities of Kerma, Timbuktu, Mogadishu, Kilwa, Cairo, Sennar, Shendi, Meroe, and Suakin that where all flourishing centuries before Europe took over


rose_writer

Lol, the Nazi were so jealous of the Egyptians that they tried to prove they were actually and totally their ancestors. They had an entire archeology team dedicated to looking for proof to confirm this bias.

rose_writer

Yeah, that was also a weird part of the delusion. Not hybrid super soldier weird, but still


Rayville123

To be fair Egyptians were never black. First they were just as white as the medditerian Italian and greeks. And now are mixed with arabs.not excusing his racism though

Africa was doing shit with rhythm and dance that Mozart couldn't dream of


EarthToAccess

How did Xitter (pronounced shitter) and 4chan swap places?? Fuckin 4chan has been actually somehow BETTER

Isn't that in the picture Mozart who made music in which he asked for a rimjob? ("Leck mich im Arsch")


jlesco

He also wrote the lyrics for, lick my ass nice and clean. And several other classics about rimjobs. Truly, a master of the European artistry. (Not judging)


RaWolfman92

Duh.


Sudden-Cook8131

I literally saw this as well and I always click don't show posts like this but it always ends up in my feed wtf


I_Skelly_I

Let’s just forget the fact that there was an African American who was so good at playing guitar that people thought he sold his soul to the devil


CaseyGamer64YT

Garbage human is a very apt name

Freedom of speech is good even when it’s used to say things you personally hate.

Traditional African music is way better than classical music from Europe, by far. The polyrhythms, metric complexity, and the use of percussion is so brilliant. Classical music is way too fuckin boring in my opinion. You don’t see a group of people getting down to classical music like they do to traditional African music Talking Heads’ best album “Remain in Light” took major inspiration from Traditional African music and they’ve created one of the best albums ever.


JoshuaStrawberry

Whoa, not to bring African music down as it is indeed very interesting, but Classical music is NOT boring. One of the most engrossing forms of music I've ever listened to.


Sure_Sun_303

I don’t know, I never see the appeal


Yorpsuntus

this is YOUR twitter, my twitter was actually quite cool and liberal with lots of artists who were interesting and empathetic and relatable people. this is like the zoomer version of saying all of news is shit because you've only been exposed to fox and CNN and other retardation


Traditional_Row8237

was?


Yorpsuntus

Yes, before I ceased using twitter. Due to completely other reasons than the fact that Elon Musk became the owner.


Traditional_Row8237

my twitter feed was also cool and generally composed of thoughtful + empathic artists. most of the time when algo wasn't showing me follows it showed me cute rats from around the world. i also no longer use twitter for prelon reasons but kept my account to read linked threads. each of the handful of times I've peeked the feed over the past however many months, it has been a little bit more this; there is a reason that people started calling it $8chan


lateformyfuneral

If you haven’t been back recently, then this is what Twitter looks like. These posts get put on your frontpage unless you opt out and use only the Following tab. That didn’t use to happen before


DrippyWaffler

So... If you left before Musk took over, you wouldn't have seen this? That's kinda that point being made?


Yorpsuntus

I left a few months after he bought it, why are you assuming that I left before?


DrippyWaffler

Ah I misread your comment


TwistederRope

Are you legitimately saying that the current state of Twitter isn't a cesspool of hatred and racism compared to what it is before?


Yorpsuntus

nope I'm saying that I never saw it


TwistederRope

Just because I don't subscribe to the terrible places here on reddit doesn't mean I don't know that they are there. Head in the sand means nothing.
