That's basically everything isn't it? Bar a goat herder or two in the carapathians singing a lonely lament.
yes, but there are genres of music or musical values that try to recover that.

but barty gets it! as does bliss.
i think we're right on the precipice of a breakthrough. as long as everyone's patient and doesn't get grumpy we're going to achieve this.
i understand what you want the music to do. i get the aesthetic.
so the question i guess becomes why a marxist framework?
would you agree that you could explain the aesthetic without marxism?
is it just a useful metaphor? or are you saying the music embodies an ideal?
well, given that politics is just a function of class society be that left or right, I.E: the left just want a strong welfare state or whatever and the right say bad shit has to happen its a law of nature, i think my antipolitical orientation helps to not invest the music with an overarching ideal apart from the need to reflect the complexity of the unholy diaspora experience. my difference with say deconstructed club is it's like lil jon electronica right, which might be right in an American context but the whole lived experience of life is different. It's like synekdoche isn't it, what good is a music that is obsessed with standardisation (this isn't the same of rigidity, some techno can be very rigid but not fully standard as such...)
it's like, yes, let's be holistic, but not in the world music fusion sense right? because then you have to be all about assuming some kind of cultural high ground or some kind of harmony of the 21st century experience. but as prhynn says that's an illusion.
the obliteration of identity. within hardcore you are no longer black, white, poor, rich, a soulboy, a rasta, nothing, a woman. it is music totally divorced from social signifiers (all of which are social constructs/social facts used by the bourgeois to prop up their political system).
is that the key? music that is completely asocial?
the anti-human agenda is about freeing ourselves from all the signifiers used to entrap us in the bourgeois trap.
or you are the ultimate top 100 poor rich white jigga cyberpunk rasta transgender battybwoy samples of all times.
so luke my best punt at this is that only through the marxist lens (it's really third's own lens at this point) would anti-humanism be particularly desirable.
the pursuit of the asocial ideal wouldn't have been abandoned had everyone ascribed the thrid's brand of marxism. that's why it is only through the ideology will this aesthetic survive.
