Thank you, thank you a thousand times for having said what I've been thinking my whole life. I just don't get and don't feel this mass of chaotic mess with no melody, no harmony, no beauty, no nothing, this metallic noise someone calls #Music. Unfortunately, everything from the start of the twentieth century (I'm talking about academic music) is trash, with really little exceptions like minimalists and some composers who do write music, but otherwise it's just a hodgepodge of random notes.

@menelion You hit the nail on the head. Academic music. That’s exactly what it is. I’m sorry, but if you got into music to make write things so that other people can study how much of a genius you are rather than to make beautiful art, you picked the wrong profession. Go show off somewhere else.

It's the same with other kinds of art, unfortunately. I'm totally blind so I can't see paintings, but I read stuff about them, and it's often the same crap.
