he made that hypermelodramatic song in 2010 that Nihal on radio 1 fell head over heals for.

Frankly not sure what else can be said about him.


like talk about being 12 years out of date.

Haha true, but also no one here really listens to Katy Perry and there was a good thread on that a few months ago, some other good threads I think too where it didn't all just degenerate into this is good no this shit. Everyone already knows each others personal tastes on here by now so that gets boring really quick

Thirdform you just don't understand the thread. It's about transcendence, hype, ecstasy, pump-up music, protagonist music, the shit tha tmakes you go "this is fucking it!!!! let's fucking go!!!"

It's cocaine music

Kanye has made his entire career on it

Trap obviously has a lot to do with it: big brass horns, whistles, solid-eight drum beats that "edge" you because they never cave into any other pattern

imagine rnb with all its ecstatic release totally imploaded and made a British parody, that's what he is.

People go mad about like Marsha Ambrosius and all that neo-brit soul but this is by a magnitude much worse, it's just a cliche to dunk on it. if anyone tells me they enjoy that let the sun shine hook I'll fuckin' punch em in the teath.

The thing at 1:07, when the beat and synth comes in? That's the start of it here, that's where the energy enters, pulsing, building up

Just a slow build that never breaks or erupts into a chorus, rather, always threatens to

Yes but Katie Perry is a glamorous trumpist. Her music is awful but the presentation of it is so hilarious and over the top you can't help but enjoy it, a bit like one enjoys donald trumps shitposting even though he's obviously a horrible man. Labrinth is too earnest, too sincere, too British.

This is more on the transcendence-spiritual side than the pump-up side.

But the way it slow-burns and builds, the kick drum, the reverb—all part of the picture

I get it. I'm just asking how a philosopher such as yourself hasn't heard boogie down productions and speaks of transcendence like a sixth former?

You listen to this kinda music you could do anything, you could be anything, you could rise out of your mortal body, you could close multibillion-dollar corporate mergers you could snort coke forever you could run a marathon nothing could hurt you nothing could touch you

It's religious music, it's athletics music, unfortunately this is a forum of atheists and squares

The slow-burn is the burn of confidence: it doesn't have to give itself away, it doesn't have to resort to cheap tricks or a catch chorus

This is sorta like the Black Keys rendition


Way inferior because it doesn't come with the feeling of "emptiness"

It's the "empty + powerful, confident + sad" combo that makes Mount Everest affective/effective

I was travelling with a geezer to Waterloo in 2012 from Egham. So anyway I asked him to help me get to the desk in the train station so that I could ask for sighted assistance to get on the train closest to Islington.

I grabbed his arm from the elbow, as you do and amongst the feverish jostling as is customary at that station, my hand went a bit above his elbow and I felt the end of his armpit hair. Where that horrible smell was coming from on the train was no longer a mystery.

Eminem's lose yourself reminds me of this embarrassing encounter. Shave it, you civilised brute.

He's on the top of the world—Mt Everest aint got shit on him—and he sounds like he could blow his brain. The dopamine receptors are maxed out and yet... still the underlying mood melancholy is unshakeable
