Songs of the Week (Apr 1, 2015)

[kacper_w]

is there any way to turn off this april fools joke thing?
I have a mini-tourney to submit scores to, and i cannot play anything
thanks ffr

[kacper_w]

Although supporting and playing an awesome game like ffr,
sometimes it makes me wonder...
why are there no epilepsy warnings?
coming from a person who has sharp pain and full body shivers when intense colour fills my vision, going from a completely black screen to one of rainbows and stupid was quite intense...
I'm sorry about the rant, but there really should be warnings, telling people like me that they shouldn't play the game on april fools

there are jokes that make people look like fools, but when a joke makes someone have an epilepsy, idk if that's really a joke

WHAT HAPPENED?

1910=music started 1920-1950=classical music 1960-1970=golden age of music for old singers 1980=perfect age for rock rebels 1990=improved good music and also the year for goths and punks 2000=music is still good and gangsta songs started to appear 2001-2006= music is changing 2007=ghetto music but good and relaxing like akon dont matter 2008=some crappy music is starting to appear 2009=crappy music is spreading 2010=you gotta be kidding me this isnt music justin beiber 2011=R.I.P. music goodbye

[Tidus810]

that's it, ffr is now indistinguishable from the youtube comments........

also, never heard the phrase "have an epilepsy" lol

anyways, even though robotomy the song is certainly pretty random and unstructured, it's not like ffr has a very high standard set in that regard

If PWND! is here to stay, the artist should be "KnK" instead of DJ KANKAOH. The song is a collaboration between Nestlekwik and KANKAOH.

Also full title for Lettuce Regulation is "lettuce regulation. American blessings."

No rhythm, no melody, no harmony. Not sure what they mean by color.

Pretty sure nobody can "play" Robotomy in realtime. Also, using the word as part of the definition? Cmon.

Robotomy is made of sounds, but they are anything but "sweet, pleasing, or harmonious".

Devil's Music Box isn't *good*. But it is music.

Proof of this is that I have a friend that specializes in wall noise music albums, and robotomy is more pleasing to listen to than any song over there, if you can still call it a song.

Music is merely an art of vocals, or sound. It can be as abstract as it wants to be. It's up to a person's bias whether or not it still counts as music.

To be fair though; if you posed the same question 10 years ago, there would be quite an enormous amount of people that would side with you considering 10 years ago the term "music" wasn't as vague as it is today.

Yes rhythm. If two or more things occur at different times they have rhythm, just in this case not as orderly or simple. Yes melody, a succession of tones. Not very melodious or pleasant to most, but melodic.

There's lots of music that nobody can play in real time. Those enumerated definitions just serve to show what most people think of when they hear "music" and what is commonly associated with it; they aren't strict delimiting factors of what music is allowed to be, so violating one or some of them doesn't make some audio not music.

I don't strongly disagree with a lot of what you are saying on a subjective level, just any effort to exclude certain types of music from being valid from these opinions. Visual art can be discussed and criticized on the basis of composition, color, perspective, focus, realism, et cetera, but nothing ceases to be "actual" art by violating any aspects. Robotomy is incredibly unpleasing to a lot of people, but Robotomy isn't not music. It is for the first reason that it can be argued to be unacceptable on FFR, but not for the second.
